From Disco to Disco

"From: Disco to: Disco" is a song recorded by German experimental house music project Whirlpool Productions. It is produced by Eric D. Clark, Justus Köhncke and Hans Nieswandt, and was released in 1996 by ElektroMotor, Ladomat 2000 and Sum Records as the second single from the project's second album, Dense Music (1996). A huge hit in clubs, the song reached number-one in Italy for nine weeks in the summer of 1997. Additionally, "From: Disco to: Disco" also peaked at number 13 in Belgium and number 54 in the Netherlands. The accompanying music video was directed by Smoczek Policzek.[1] Ten years later, in 2006, the song was released in a new version, as "From: Disco to: Disco 2006".

Critical reception

Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote, "This German production is a killer dancefloor filler, as the Cologne-based house triumvirate radiate a real "Let's do-a-disco-pastiche!" feeling. Serious or not, Eric D. Clark, Justus Köhncke and Hans Niewandt have obviously hit the right key, as this single, taken from their second album Dense Music has already been a hit in Italy. In Holland, it is one of the favourite dance videos on music television channel TMF. Station head of music Erik Kross is enthusiastic about the track, but concedes: "It is a kind of 'love-it-or hate-it' track. A little resistance is always good, though, as it makes people talk about it." However, Kross predicts "From: Disco to: Disco" will be around for a while this summer. "Although it won't by far become as big a hit as Bellini's "Samba de Janeiro"," he suggests, "it has all the elements of a genuine sleeper."[2] Spex included "From: Disco to: Disco" in their "The Best Singles of the Century" list in 1999.[3]
