It reminds me a bit too of the stuff written about early hip hop -- people like Grandmaster Flash thought of what they were doing as making their own kind of disco. Nearly 30 years on, any commonality between Disco and Hip Hop would seem unlikely to people who don't know the history.
I was into disco in the 70s and when I first heard hiphop I didn't see any commonality between it and disco.
I still don't see the connection between early hiphop and disco, unless the comment "making their own kind of disco" is synonymous with "making their own kind of dance music" in which case the only real commonality is that they're both forms of dance music and has little to do with disco per se.
