A disco classic nearly lost to time, “One Step (After Another)” by Mark Wesley has finally hit the airwaves, fifty years after its creation. Originally composed in the 1970s, Wesley’s track captures the era’s signature charm with lively beats. It also features a contagious melody. He once felt these qualities were “too cheesy” inside of the music landscape leaning toward serious, edgy sounds. Decades later, his decision to shelf the track seems fortunate. Today’s nostalgic listeners are eager to rediscover disco’s joy and vibrancy.
In 2022, Wesley approached the band Miss Disco, known for their vibrant performances of 70s and 80s hits, about releasing a single. Their energetic performances and contemporary twist on disco classics made them the ideal collaborators. The band instantly connected with the song’s dynamic rhythm, incorporating their own flair to bring Wesley’s vision to a new audience.
The song was described as “fabulous” by Craig Revel Horwood, a judge on Strictly Come Dancing, who called it “a disco classic.” This praise highlights its catchy rhythm and upbeat tempo, as well as its impact on the dance music genre.
This genre has seen a comeback in modern pop culture, making the release of this track perfect for new audiences who want to discover the interesting history and different sounds it offers. With its catchy beats and enjoyable melodies, the track not only pays tribute to the genre’s roots but also helps listeners who may not know much about it to get started.
The music scene keeps changing, and it mixes various styles. This revival encourages both long-time fans and new listeners. They connect with the genre in fresh and fun ways.
