54house.fm DISCOTHÈQUE is THE internet radio station for lovers of original 70s disco songs, which have been sampled since the mid-90s and refreshed under various incarnations such as Disco House, Re-Edits or – more recently – Nu Disco and made danceable for the younger generations.
After its heyday at the end of the 90s to the middle of the new millenium's first decade, when this sound was even on the radio and on music channels like MTV and VIVA TV, it quickly sank back into the underground and new subgenres emerged, including Nu Disco. Initially rather synth-pop-heavy, Nu Disco developed further and is now - similar to Disco House at the turn of the millennium - very disco-heavy again. The main difference to Disco House is that Nu Disco songs run at a similar BPM to Classic Disco and Re-Edits – which are closer to the original – at 110-123 BPM, while Disco House can reach up to 130 BPM.
