VST & Co - Disco Fever (@RP!e Fever ClubMix)

Actually, the 1970s is the disco era. Foreign performers such as the Bee Gees, ABBA and Donna Summer influenced the disco fever in the Philippines. VST and Company is a Filipino disco fever icon in the Philippines.
The band started in the 1970s with
Vic Sotto, now a famous comedian, who also wrote songs for the group and performed "Disco Fever" with VST. The band consisted of different Filipino musicians time after time until they collided in the 1980s.
The band performed disco fever favorites such as "Rock Baby, Rock", "Awitin Mo, Isasayaw Ko" and "Magsayawan". Because it is a Manila sound group, VST and Company also used Tagalog-English lyrics in some hits like "Etcetera". Yet some songs are romantic, and they're like
Kundiman jingles mixed with disco fever.
Such romantic songs are "Ikaw Lang Ang Aking Mahal" (You Are my Only Love), "Kiss...Kiss", "Ipagpatawad Mo" (Forgive Me), "Etcetera", "Iswing Mo Ako" (Swing Me), "Awitin Mo, Isasayaw Ko" (Sing it, I'll dance it) and "Binibini" (Maiden).
The band is a big contributor to the Manila sound era because of a lot of disco fever songs that until now are disco classics.
Their music can give a flashback to the days of the
love bus, hippie hairdos, groovy discos and peace signs... the 1970s.


I made this remix by using Staying Alive (Ultimix) looping beat to capture and bring in the Bee Gees atmosphere.

Hi there,

I love classic disco songs and there's this song from 90's i really like. My favorite radio station in Jakarta (Indonesia) used to play it during their disco session. I believe it's in Tagalog but I don't really catch the title, something like "sanana tayoe masaya" and i heard it means "i wish you are happy." believe. Do you know the title and the singer? Please let me know at primatmojo.djanoe@dai.com

Thanks,
