R.I.P Disco D
Everybody was talking about that wicked beat on 50 Cent’s album, so when I heard that Disco D made “Ski Mask Way” I knew I had heard that name before. I went through my record collection and found his album “A Night at the Booty Bar” from 2003. That booty album is one of the best I have ever listened to. Straight fire so I was really happy that this was from the same dude. After “Ski Mask Way” we couldn’t get enough of him, Spank Rock, Braza, Yelle, Trick Daddy and much more. And that Arnold Schwarzenegger video! That was fucking genius.
We got a chance talk to him when he was in Malmö for a gig. We interviewed him for our radio show and I think we asked one question and then he talked for 20 minutes straight. He was so into his stuff that he could have talked about it forever.
We will miss him.

[...] Bad news. Ghettobas- och hiphopproducenten Disco D hittades död i morse. Sannolikt efter att ha tagit sitt liv, skriver Rodeo. Disco D producerade bland annat 50 Cent och Nina Sky men låg även bakom flera låtar med Kevin Federline. Men framförallt är det som missionär för Detroits ghettotech-scen han kommer bli ihågkommen. När han spelade på The Rumbles Inkonstpremiär i våras intervjuade jag honom för Sydsvenskans räkning. Återpublicerar artikeln nedan. Kolla även in Disco Belle för en tribute. [...]

Jag vill börja med att säga att jag har fortfarande inte kunnat smälta att Disco D är död. Jag vill bjuda in er som också tyckte om hans musik att höra mitt “hyllnings/minnes-set” till Disco D på Rival ikväll.
Info följer nedan:
Välkommen till Rival vid Mariatorget på Fredag 26/1, Fri Entré.
Mellan 22-02 står jag bakom dom stora hjulen av stål och servar med tunga prylar. Westcoast/Bay Area/Texas/New Orleans Rap från 90-talets mitt, Electrofunk, 80s grooves, Freestyle & Miami Bass.
jag kommer även att hedra den talangfulla DJn/Producenten Disco D, vars liv släcktes alldeles för tidigt.
Så åtminstone en halvtimme med strictly ghettoshit från Disco D blir det även.
Må han vila i frid.
Med dessa ord tackar jag för nu och låter musiken tala för sig – fredag kväll alltså!
Bass’t Regards

[...] От независимой музыки старой – к независимой музыке совсем новой. Headphone Sex написал целую статью, посвященную маленькому лейблу из Лидса, выпускающему занятную 8-битную электронику и lo-fi-электро-поп, I Can Count. Fluo Kids же взял интереснейшее интервью у владельца лейбла Detroit Underground, выпускающего, что неудивительно, детройтское андерграундное техно и электро. Увы, как сообщают Discobelle и KissAtlanta, как раз на этой неделе детройтская сцена техно-сцена понесла тяжелую утрату: покончил с собой Disco D, известный продюсер, основатель сразу нескольких электронных лейблов и один из пионеров гетто-тека (об этом стиле «Блогоскоп» рассказывал в своём 12-м выпуске). Быть может, в будущем его будут считать таким же классиком электронной музыки, какими сейчас считают Kraftwerk – и тогда пачками начнут выходит в свет самые разные трибьют-альбомы ему. Быть может, даже и такие, какого намедни удостоился Krafwerk: на этой неделе в свет вышел сборник кавер-версий их песен и композиций от исполнителей той самой 8-битной электроники, с упоминания которой начался этот абзац (via Silence is A Rhythm Too).

Diz is so sad.

And verry right indeed , you inspired many people!
Wish you all the booty you can get, we will miss you.
