In the 1970s, electronic music began to have a significant influence on popular music, with the adoption of polyphonic synthesizers, electronic drums, drum machines and turntables, through the emergence of genres such as disco, krautrock, new wave, synth-pop, hip hop and EDM. In the 1980s, electronic music became more dominant in popular music, with a greater reliance on synthesizers and the adoption of programmable drum machines such as the Roland TR-808 and bass synthesizers such as the TB-303. In the early 1980s, digital technologies for synthesizers including digital synthesizers such as the Yamaha DX7 became popular and a group of musicians and music merchants developed the Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI).

Jamie XX – Dream Night

Dream Night is a serotonin shot for the ears. It’s lo-fi euphoria, polished until it sparkles, then thrown into a blender with broken disco balls and sideways glances. Jamie xx still has it and this dreamy sliver of a track proves he can still hijack your heart and hips simultaneously.

Shydiscoboy - Pourquoi

Introducing : Shydiscoboy

Shydiscoboy turns late-night feels into a groovy fever dream with Pourquoi — a silky blend of alt, R&B, and disco-funk dipped in Parisian cool. It’s moody, melodic, and mildly heartbroken. Basically, the soundtrack to texting your ex (or blocking them). Hit play — your ears deserve this kind of drama.
