- dreamfactory2 11y agoBit of a stretch to say that house only came about because of sucky disco-tinged pop music. Proper disco has always been a mainstay of house sets e.g. this kind of stuff is still played at underground parties to this day https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtO13NZqE1Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtO13NZqE1Y, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B85dYk77V-o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B85dYk77V-o, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HG-IHgNo5bs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HG-IHgNo5bs (probably the original house blueprint), or just see anything by Larry Levan.
