More than half a century ago, a cultural and societal movement took root in the streets of New York City. Driven by the post-Stonewall sexual revolution and the masterful work of DJs spinning the latest R&B cuts, people flocked to the clubs in search of their tribe and live out an almost religious experience.

D.C LaRue, by then a seasoned singer and songwriter, was a witness to this phenomenon and encapsulated all of his thoughts on a song that, since its original release, has become a perennial favorite in dance halls all over the world. The enduring legacy of “Cathedrals” is only a part of a long career that saw D.C. bouncing from record label to record label in his early years, ditching music to delve into other creative outlets, tapping into what was happening around him, being discovered by newer generations, and ultimately, enjoying his rightful place as a true Disco legend.

The “Minneapolis Sound” is eclectic at its core. From the funktified innovations of Prince and André Cymone to the polished productions of Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis and the alt-rock fire of The Replacements, the scene always made space for everything—and everyone—even an offbeat band like Information Society.

In 1982, the same year The Purple One invited us to party like it was 1999, InSoc burst onto the scene with a robotic synth style that recalled Kraftwerk, early Devo, and Gary Numan. Paul Robb, Kurt Larson, and James Cassidy embraced the DIY ethos of punk, quickly building a loyal following. But true recognition didn’t come until the band relocated to New York City, where they forged their signature sound—a fusion of electro and pulsating dance beats that launched them onto the charts.

With the guidance of seasoned producer Fred Marr, the trio absorbed everything around them, from radio staples to late-night TV static. Armed with samples—and a certain ’60s sci-fi phenomenon like Star Trek—Paul Robb crafted InSoc’s pop breakout hit, a track that dominated clubs from L.A. to Rio and beyond. It set the foundation for the group’s unique brand of intellectual, tech-driven pop, a sound that remains as vibrant today as ever.

Back in December 1977, a young actor named John Travolta (by then only known for his role as Vinnie Barbarino on the TV comedy "Welcome Back Kotter) strutted across the streets of New York to the funky beat of an English trio that reinvented themselves from Soft Rock gentlemen to the purveyors of the global Disco explosion.

While The Bee Gees' music was the centerpiece of "Saturday Night Fever," the film's soundtrack gave a spotlight to notable pop performers like Yvonne Elliman, masterful musicians and arrangers like David Shire, Ralph McDonald, and R&B veterans like The Trammps and Tavares that were also heavily instrumental in creating the blueprint of Disco in the early 70s.
