These guys want to create an 'inclusive Studio 54.'
. Friends and Disco describes the event, which will showcase local DJs, as an “inclusive Studio 54 experience” — an eyebrow-raising description, considering that Studio 54 was hardly inclusive. Instead, the club was renowned for its hyper-aggressive door policy, where people were turned away if they weren’t rich, famous or fashionable. The policy was so intense that Andy Warhol once described it as a “dictatorship.
However, despite its exclusivity, Studio 54 was also known as a haven for marginalized cultures. The founders modeled their clubs off of gay and Black venues when they noticed how those spaces were revolutionizing dance parties. This model meant that gay, Latino and Black communities thrived at Studio 54, intermingling with the straight, often white pseudo-aristocracy that also graced its dance floors. Rubell himself was gay, as were much of the staff.
Why do you think people yearn for a genre that is fifty years old? Do you think there is a modern equivalent that represents the spirit of disco?There is a nostalgic part to it. People love the style, clothes and music because it takes them back to this glorified era where house music first started. It's an outlet that you can only get by dancing to the unmatched four-to-the-floor music. A modern equivalent is hard to say.
