In 1979, as disco's dominance waned, a chaotic event known as 'Disco Demolition Night' signified the backlash against disco, leading to the genre's decline in relevance.
Musicians were forced to reinvent their sound amid the 'Disco sucks' sentiment, embracing new technologies like drum machines and synthesizers to create a revamped style of R&B.
Nile Rogers noted that after being labeled as a disco band, they pivoted to using drum machines, marking a significant transition in their musical approach.
The evolution towards a mid-tempo bounce and the use of synthetic instrumentation forged a new musical landscape that remains influential today.
