"Disco's Revenge" is a song recorded by American house producer Gusto. It was released in February 1996 as a single only. The song, which mainly consists of a looped sample from Harvey Mason's 1979 song "Groovin' You", reached number nine in the United Kingdom and number one on the RPM Dance/Urban chart in Canada. The title quotes Frankie Knuckles, who had described house music as being "disco's revenge".[1]

Critical reception

A reviewer from Music Week rated "Disco's Revenge" three out of five, adding that "New Jersey's Gusto delivers a classy, bassy track, which has been championed by Radio One but has limited crossover potential."[2] James Hamilton from the RM Dance Update described it as a "Harvey Mason 'Groovin' You' riff based 'bum bum bum' bumbling simple hypnotic strider".[3]
