The Brickyard invites you to a one off event exploring the music at the foundation of modern electronic dance culture.
Forget ‘Saturday Night Fever’, cheap leisure suits, afro wigs, platform shoes, medallions, novelty hits and every other Disco cliché associated with the period. The tacky and enduring image of disco was simply a product of money greedy, major labels cottoning on to the marketability of an underground lifestyle, sanitising it with crass commercialism and sucking the scene dry until mainstream America, and the rest of the world, cried “Disco Sucks.”
Disco created the DJ mix, the remix, the re-edit and the 12” single - elements which are still at the foundation of electronic dance music as we know it today.
Whether you’re into House, Drum & Bass, Breaks, Hip Hop, Dubstep or any other form created in the past 30 years, there is something traceable to the disco days in each one.
From the early soulful New York disco sound right through to the electro-boogie of the early 80’s, ‘Love Was The Message’ will encompass it all, from record labels like Salsoul, West End and Prelude, to artists like Inner Life, Dexter Wansell, Harvey Mason, Teddy Pendergrass, Jackie Moore, Change, Hamilton Bohannon, First Choice, Chaka Khan, Melba Moore, Candido and a whole lot more…
Whether you’re already familiar with the music or are interested in hearing a slice of dance music history for the first time we welcome you to the party…

Mainstream America may have turned its back on uplifting, four to the floor dance music, but the legacy of the Disco sound remains; it created the DJ mix, the remix, the re-edit and the 12” single - elements which are still at the foundation of electronic dance music as we know it today.
