Description: Following Chicago's Disco Demolition Night in 1979, disco music's mainstream popularity fell into decline. In the early '80s, fewer and fewer disco records were being released, but the genre remained popular in some Chicago nightclubs and on at least one radio station, WBMX-FM. In this era, Chicago radio jocks played various styles of dance music, including older disco records, newer Italo disco, electro, EBM tracks, B-boy hip hop music as well as electronic pop music. Some of these DJs also made and played their own edits of their favorite songs on reel-to-reel tape, focusing on the portions of songs that worked well on the dancefloor.
