Yes I agree wholeheartedly with that I m from Amsterdam The Netherlands myself I ve been in France and other European countries back in the disco era and what we call disco is encompassing much more than what is being made of it here For instance loads of really good disco music was made in Italy Germany France and even here in The Netherlands because there was a lot of money in mafia to buy the early synthesizers Moroder for one was an Italian living in Munich when the Donna Summer hits were created I believe Disco to us here therefore also includes music by Gino Soccio Cowley Moroder himself not only his Donna Summer work plus many Italian producers When I see this page it s as if Europe didn t influence the genre while it is the other way around in many ways It wasn t Chicago or London where house music started even the first fast paced housey acidy music came from Italy Germany and The Netherlands if you ask me Take for example Remember by Vivien Vee from 1977 and Crazy Family by Jock Hattle the long version from 1982 They both have long lasting breaks in them perfect examples of disco that would now be called house or maybe even trance for parts of them
