To collectors, enthusiasts and dancers, asking when disco ends and boogie begins will yield a fascinating and vast array of responses. Upon their shelves of twelves and sevens of original pressings and increasing reissues and edits, the change might not even seem marked, as the full scale force of disco gave way to a more intimate, sensual, but no less physical sound. Finding underground support in the 1980s nightclubs of London among mixed black and white audiences, crate digging DJs soon caught wind of the genre’s future-facing evolution in the US.

Bubbling prior to the mixtape culture of the foundations of contemporary hip hop, or the stark futurism of Detroit techno and electro, both of which owe a debt of inspiration to boogie, the genre could loosely be described as a bridge between acoustic and electronic instruments. The arrangements are often loose and live, but usually doused in a gooey neon sheen. And while some of the synth work may sound primitive by contemporary standards, it has maintained an enthusiastic following swept up in its occasional weirdness as production methods grew more clinical and precise. Boogie is flamboyant party music, even when it can evoke the longing of heartbreak as easily as the promise of good times.

An English judge had said so after the Jacobites’ great defeat at Culloden in 1746; a piper was a fighter like the rest, and his music was his weapon.
