Tom Moulton, Father of the Disco Mix (1976)
- jzb 3y agoI’m not sure how that made it here, but I wish there was an HN for music. Interview was fun, but I’m definitely going through and creating a playlist of everything he mentioned…
- msephton 3y agoIt's all on YouTube, I checked :) most are listed as Disco Mix and on the label you'll see the famous "A Tom Moulton Mix". I need to cross reference to see if he'd invented/discovered the 12" single at the time of this interview. Unearthing a ~47 year old article that discusses the use of early computers in recording/mixing is a big deal. This is the first time this article has been freely available digitally on the web.
