Season: 1 | Episode: 3 | Length: 60m
A look at how disco fell victim to a violent backlash at the end of the 1970s after a glut of bad singles and the perceived elitism of clubs like Studio 54 fuelled a surge in anti-disco feeling. The programme also traces the genre's legacy, with DJ Frankie Knuckles leaving New York for Chicago, where he remixed disco breaks with R&B to produce a new genre of dance music that became known as house.
