Click here now to subscribe to THUMP: Morton Subotnick’s Silver Apples of the Moon was one of the first techno records ever created. The rhythm in Subotnick’s music revolutionized the disco industry, and his performance at the Electric Circus sparked a movement that, according to Thump Editor-In-Chief, Zel McCarthy, allowed for minorities everywhere to express themselves freely. The dance floor at Studio 54 was regularly packed until the movement came under heavy scrutiny in the early 1980s. National demonstrations, such as the one in Comiskey Park, were held in protest of the Disco era, and this came to be known as Disco Sucks.
