We made you a playlist with the help of DJ Lloyd Harris: “[Disco’s] about smiling when there’s nothing to smile about — about forgetting the world around you for a moment and just enjoying yourself”
Photo: Redferns/1975 GAB Archive/Getty Images In this prolonged period of self-isolation, there is one recent memory I keep coming back to: I’m at a small bar and nightclub in Brooklyn called Nightmoves. Beneath me is a checkerboard light-up dance floor, and my shoes sort of stick to it as I stomp my legs to the music. My friends are all close — like, really close; our noses almost touch. One comes up behind me, and I can feel her on my back.

The floor is carpeted, and I’m not wearing any shoes. I haven’t danced in public in over a month. I have not touched or been touched.
“It’s an uplifting genre,” Harris explains. “It’s about smiling when there’s nothing to smile about — about forgetting the world around you for a moment and just enjoying yourself. Because that’s where it came from: the young, gay, black communities in the ’70s trying to express themselves and go out and have their own music, because they weren’t accepted anywhere else.”
