"disco music brought people together, which never goes out of style. We’re in a culture now that’s so divisive. People are tired of that separatism. We all realize that if that continues to happen there’s no hope for us as a country.

Disco was intergenerational and multicultural. It didn’t matter what your socioeconomic status or sexual orientation was. We were all laughing, having fun. As I’ve grown older, I really understand that being joyful extends your life. Disco was always a place where people could get away from society’s restrictions. The world puts you in a box, but when you’re on the floor dancing, and you grab somebody’s hand, it doesn’t matter whose hand it is. That’s what disco gave to the world.

I think that now, more than ever before, the resurgence of disco means that we really want to be free of all the “isms”. People really do want to be together, talk to each other, and share experiences with each other." da un'intervista di Christian John Wikane del 2018 per PopMatters
