This is a rework of a rare 1982 underground Disco song by Exodus – Forever Together. I was inspired to create it, to celebrate my upcoming appearance as at Glitterbox Sydney on Nov 2. This is one of my favourite dance tracks of all time & was recorded with real instruments in a band and has been sampled over the years many significant producers as Disco evolved into House Music.

It was first sampled by Sydney Glitterbox headliner Todd Terry’s Royal House project in the legendary track ‘Can you party’ in 1988 & in Joey Negro’s project Raven Maize with ‘Forever Together’ in 1989 as well as Eddie Amador’s ‘House Music’ in 1997, along with dozens of other tracks across all House music eras. I reworked the original song, reimaging it by adding moments from these significant classic House tunes, in chronological order, along with extra production and A cappella’s to create a new reimagining of the song – a House Music history lesson.

It is important to acknowledge where underground Disco & House music originated from because it is vital in understanding it’s heart & soul, it’s impact on the world & to the communities who created it. Credit where credit is due.

At the beginning of the 1970s, queers of colour (primarily of African-American and Latin-Caribbean ancestry) and many straight-but-not-narrow allies came together to create small pockets of space in the city's harsh urban landscape—spaces where they could be safe, be themselves, be someone else for a while, and be with others in ways not permitted in the "normal" everyday world. Music was an essential part of these gatherings, and the sound of these events would eventually develop into the style called disco. The sound was a mix of soul, funk and Latin music with a driving, four-four kick drum pattern.

This evolved into Garage, which was either a precursor, a parallel or a sub-style of House music. Generally slower in tempo than Chicago house, it featured a mix of disco, R&B, soul and funk with a focus on gospel-inflected vocals.

House Music was created by Producers & DJ’s - the most significant being Frankie Knuckles, David Mancuso, Ron Hardy & Larry Levan. They were presiding over crowds of mixed sexualities, gender expressions, ethnicities and social classes…crowds that reflected their own identities – predominantly Black & Latino Gay men.
