Brian Eno: Oblique Music (Sean Albiez and David Pattie eds)
Love Saves the Day adopted a chronological approach to East Coast disco's dramatic arc through the 1970s.

Significantly less attention has been given to the commercial, mainstream manifestations of this music. Therefore, this article examines the contemporary commercial dance music scene in Sydney, Australia, incorporating an analyt…
