chavs???thats a first
hi-nrg was probably enjoyed by gay people because a lot of it was gay produced back in the late seventies and early 80`s.
there was a lot more clubs + disco`s to go to at this time,and plus a lot of artists were a lot camp orientated then,,divine,boystown gang,bronski beat,village people,dead or alive.

What a ridiculous statement, kinda ignorant.
I too am a straight white guy , not a chav and i love it!
The origins are from America from clubs like the Paradise Garage, Warehouse, The Loft and even Studio 54 plus many more where the majority of people were gay but not all of them. Thats where the terms House and Garage come from! The music was made and produced by pioneering artists but not all of them were gay either and also you cannot forget the ground breaking Dj's such as Larry Levan, David Mancuso etc who with other superb Dj's pretty much invented Dance music as we now know it today, mixing together the records ( 7" in those days) as best they could on very basic and often home made mixers and looping favourite segments of a song using reel to reel tapes and pretty much invented mixing which we all take for granted now. Dj ing back tthen was really hard work and a real artform with hours of preperation beforehand. I only wish that i could have been in one of these legendary venues to experience what it must have been like - Pretty mind blowing i would imagine!

Quite agree Sooper.
Mainstream Disco grew out of the gay underground clubs.
I visited a fabulous gay disco in San Francisco in 1979, it was the first time I had seen anyone mix ever, and the DJ had three turntables.
He mixed Dan Hartman's 'Instant Replay' re-starting from a different point each time, so the count went "Ten ..." "Ten nine ..." "Ten nine eight .." and so on, down to one, and into the track. It was all done seemlessly, no breaks, it was astounding. I have never seen antying like it before or since.
