When you launch Disco, you are greeted by a very white and clean interface that is nice enough, but clearly done by a single developer.
Although Disco includes a pitch bend, which is nice for a low-end app, what's missing are the little touches like simply being able to click on the portion of a levels slider to have it jump to that point—you have to grab and drag everything, which further limits this bare bones package.
It became pretty clear using Disco that it's not for anyone who values sound quality or just full execution of the features provided and while I'm a big fan of underdog developers, this isn't one to do them proud.

  Disco - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Initially, most disco songs catered to a nightclub/dancing audience only, rather than general audiences such as radio listeners, but there are many aspects proving opposite tendencies as well; popular radio-hits were being played in discothèques, as long as they had an easy to follow rhythmic base-pattern close to 120 BPM (beats per minute).
Disco music diverged from the rock of the 1960s, elevating music from the raw sound of 4-piece garage bands to refined music composed by producers who contracted local symphony and philharmonic orchestras and session musicians.
Most disco songs have a steady four-on-the-floor beat (sometimes using a 16-beat pattern on the hi-hat cymbal, or an eight-beat pattern with an open hi-hat on the "off" beat) and a heavy, syncopated bassline.

 Disco   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Disco music diverged from the self-composed and performed rock of the 1960s, seeing a return (though not universally) to the influence of producers who hired session musicians to produce hits for different artists whose role was purely to sing and market the songs.
Instruments commonly used by disco musicians included the rhythm guitar, bass, strings (violin, viola, cello), string synth (a type of organ), trumpet, saxophone, trombone, piano, and drums (sometimes using an auxiliary percussionist as well as somebody on a drum kit).
Disco also had a characteristic electric guitar sound, usually from the heavy use of the wah-wah pedal.

 Disco 3 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Disco 3 is the thirteenth album by the UK electronic music duo Pet Shop Boys.
It consists of five remixes of songs and B-sides from their previous album, Release, four new tracks (two of which were debuted when they appeared on the John Peel show on BBC Radio 1 in 2002) and a new recording of a song from their 2001 musical Closer to Heaven.
More successful than Disco 2, Disco 3 was likely an attempt to recreate the success of the original Disco.

Disco 1 was and still the best in this series mainly because it was released at the height of their popularity.
Disco 2 was very poor as it seemed to feature remixes of some of the worst tracks the boys had done.
Number 3 in the series is a lot better and is infact I think better than the album the remixes are from.

 A history of disco music
Disco is an up-tempo style of dance music that originated in the early 1970s, mainly from funk and soul music, popular originally with gay and fl audiences in large U.S. cities, and derives its name from the French word discothèque (meaning nightclub), coined from disc + bibliotèque (library) by La Discothèque in Rue Huchette.
This music was coined disco, of which there are two flavors and time periods: disco 1.0, which is firmly connected to soul and funk in the first half of the seventies and disco 2.0 in the second half of the seventies, as the incarnation of gay hedonistic club culture.
Disco had already been going for ten years when the first electronic drum tracks began to appear out of Chicago, and in that time it had already suffered the slings and arrows of merciless commercial exploitation, dilution and racial and sexual prejudice which culminated in the 'disco sucks' campaign.

 [fmSound] Reviews - Pet Shop Boys "Disco 3"
Back in 1986, the original Disco was a good idea, an EP that allowed the Boys to step outside the normal strictures of a pop record.
1994's Disco 2 was less fun, a tiresome DJ treatment of irritating re-mixes that squeezed any hint of melody from the songs, all strung seamlessly together.
Disco 3 rests somewhere in between, but closer to the good side.

As for "mutant disco," well...let's just consider it disco or a trace of disco that is more likely to halt the dancefloor than continue narcotizing it.

It is therefore very telling that for Disco 3, the Pet Shop Boys chose to put more emphasis on new material than to remix the new standards.
The best remix on Disco 3 is the band's own version of "Here", which is so respectful of the original track that it's borderline remix heresy by today's standards.
Disco 3 is certainly an upgrade from its predecessor, but some advice for Tennant and Lowe on the next installment, should there be one: do all of the remixes yourselves.

Disco 3 is the third in a series of albums comprised of re-mixes alongside new creations, both geared towards the dance floor.
Except for Disco 3's finale, the majestic piano piece "London (Genuine Piano Mix)", the album is loaded with pulsating dance beats, plenty of grooves, hard-hitting low end, and punchy bass layered songs that make you want to shake your ass.
