Debbie Matenopoulos Instagram – 📼Happy Mix Tape Monday 📼. Today I dedicated this little compilation to the Disco Funk Fusion sound. During the Gen X years some of the most incredible sounds and new genres were created in music. One of them being Disco and another being Funk. Both born in the late 60s and 70’s and really being based in Jazz. Thats why there were those BIG BAND sounds around that time with full horn sections that we don’t really see much of anymore, unfortunately. I can’t explain how much I LOVE the sound of horns in any music. It makes me feel a certain kind of way. 😋Up until now, I’ve mainly focused on the New Wave stuff because there is so much of it from that time and there is still so much to cover. But before doing that I needed to shine a light on the amazing dance music that was second to none and that is still played in almost every club in the world. So when I say our generation had the best music…it’s fairly easy to back up. I had so much fun with todays mix. I even had to double down on some of the artists because their music was just THAT good and really defined the era. All of these songs STILL hold up today. And the outfits that they all wore back then were EPIC. I was dying laughing making this. Also a big shout out to @dianaross in this one and just how stunningly and naturally gorgeous she looks. If you don’t move your body in some way or smile while listening to this mix…..you may want to check and see that you still have a pulse. I LOVE all of these artists so much. I even had the honor of meeting and spending time with Earth Wind and Fire years ago and to this day, it’s still one of the best days of my life. Enjoy my fellow music lovers!!! genx #generationx #music #musiclover #musichead #disco #funk #70s #80s #dancemusic | Posted on 10/Apr/2023 22:48:10
