The Disco Boys

They run in the same orbit as Master Blaster, Tomcraft, Guru Josh Project, Armand van Helden and Kungs, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Roger Sanchez, M.I.A. and Ich + Ich, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
