Eurodisco (also spelled as Euro disco or Euro-disco) is a genre of electronic music that evolved from disco in the middle 1970s,[17] incorporating elements of europop and rock in a purely electronic and futuristic sound.[18] The genre emerged when European producers and musicians, especially Giorgio Moroder, Marc Cerrone and Frank Farian, adapted American disco music by incorporating European pop influences and recent new musical technologies, such as synthesizers and electronic drums.
Many Eurodisco compositions feature lyrics sung in English, although the singers often share a different mother tongue. In addition, the genre is considered to be one of the earliest forms of electronic dance music,[19][20] as well as being credited as a precursor to later electronic music genres such as house, eurodance and techno.

Eurorecords had to have immediate cross-national appeal, musical simplicity was of the essence- a bouncy beat, just one chorus hook, elementary lyrics. The fun of these records was entirely a matter of sound quality, but once a record was a hit it took on a kind of sleazy, nostalgic charm of its own. It was precisely the brazen utility of these records, in short, that gave them gay disco consumer appeal too.[...] Eurodisco also had an obvious element of camp -British club audiences took delight in the very gap between the grand gestures of Eurosingers and the vacuity of their songs.
