For most of America, disco died in 1979. Gay men, however, continued to dance, and in the gay enclave of the Castro neighborhood in San Francisco, enterprising gay DJs, record producers, and musicians started their own small dance music record labels to make up for the lack of new, danceable music. These independent labels' music did more than copy what the larger industry had been doing, however. Instead, the upstart companies built upon the musical experiments their roster of local musicians and producers had been exploring over the last several years, developing a distinctive style of its own. Known as "high energy," the music reveled in electronics, fast tempos, disco and DJ culture, and, above all, gay liberation as it had emerged over the previous decade in the Castro neighborhood by so called "Castro clones" (a gay subculture of exaggerated masculinity with a strong presence in the city's nightlife). The sound, like the new revolutionary ethos, derived its aesthetic from San Francisco's unique configuration of elements, but immediately this music had a reach far beyond the Bay, with Megatone Records, Moby Dick Records, and other labels achieving worldwide success with San Francisco artists such as Sylvester, Patrick Cowley, Paul Parker, Lisa, Loverde, and Jolo, creating the world's first gay-owned, gay-produced music for a dancing audience"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Disco music $z San Francisco $z San Francisco $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Electronic dance music $z San Francisco $z San Francisco $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Sound recording industry $z San Francisco $z San Francisco $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Gay men $z San Francisco $z San Francisco $x Social life and customs $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Castro (San Francisco, Calif.) 650 6 $a Disco (Musique) $z San Francisco $z San Francisco $x Histoire et critique. 650 6 $a Dance music $z San Francisco $z San Francisco $x Histoire et critique. 650 6 $a Homosexuels masculins $z San Francisco $z San Francisco $x MÅurs et coutumes $y 20e sieÌcle. 650 7 $a Disco music. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00894886 650 7 $a Electronic dance music. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01160932 650 7 $a Gay men $x Social life and customs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00939152 650 7 $a Sound recording industry. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01127019 651 7 $a California $z San Francisco. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204481 651 7 $a California $z Castro. $z Castro. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01325354 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Niebur, Louis, 1971- $t Menergy $b [First.] $d New York : Oxford University Press, 2022 $z 9780197511107 $w (DLC) 2021036240 941 $a 1 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214043348.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=96F0FF4E9A4F11EE9D2109AF26ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b IOWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
