Disco could dominate 2009, if Azuli’s ‘prediction’ comes true

From disco to disco, the unquantized sounds of disco slid smoothly (and sneakily) across dancefloors in 2008.

The Brits seemed to be leading the charge (at least from a club night perspective), but the disco perpetrators arrived from across the globe, operating like idealistic, independent splinter cells.

That ever-reliable barometer of club sounds Azuli has just announced a new ‘Future Disco’ compilation will drop on 23rd March - just in time for WMC - and that could mean disco might dominate clubs over the next 12 months, because Azuli’s dancefloor ‘predictions’ usually come true.

It’s all in the economics. Azuli have always done a fine job of bringing underground trends to a more mainstream audience, and the British imprint dropping a ‘Future Disco’ compilation can only mean the disco movement has become financially viable.

Expect a Ministry of Sound ‘disco’ compilation within the next nine months, then.

Azuli’s ‘Future Disco’ picks are all on-point - from Aeroplane to Hercules & Love Affair and Toby Tobias, DFA Records and Eskimo - all the main 2008 disco culprits have been rounded up and squished into one neat little package, which of course is perfect for consumers.
