Albums | Denver-based DJ/producer/multi-instrumentalist Boogie Lights drops genre-defying LP DISCO DANCE THERAPY

Posted by on January 8, 2025

Boogie Lights, the visionary producer/DJ/drummer and frontman of the dynamic 10-piece ensemble The Boogie Bunch, is thrilled to celebrate the release of his debut album, DISCO DANCE THERAPY. 

DISCO DANCE THERAPY showcases Boogie Lights‘ genre-blending mastery across 11 tracks, taking listeners on a journey through his artistic identity – a sonic ethos influenced by house, disco, funk, bass, soul, and hip-hop. Featuring contributions from members of The Boogie Bunch—a rotating ensemble of talented musicians on saxophone, guitar, keys, soulful vocals, and more—the album acutely reflects Boogie Lights’ creative philosophy: by combining empowering lyrics and rhythms that inspire listeners to embrace the moment and dance through life’s challenge, Boogie Lights spotlights music’s transformative power to uplift and heal. 

“The concept of DISCO DANCE THERAPY relates to the relationship between music and mental health. The theory of dance therapy is referenced in the title track, how sometimes ‘all you need is a beat to get back on your feet.’ The album is an uplifting expedition through indie, funk, disco, and house led by empowering lyrics focused on mental wellness, spreading love to the universe, and living in the moment.” – Boogie Lights
The album highlights a bevy of vocalists from The Boogie Bunch, including Denver’s soul queen DZIRAE GOLD, hip-hop savant Deezy Le Phunk, Shawn Dunbar (Hereami), and special guest Montel Moore. Boogie Lights also lends his voice to select tracks, supported by a lineup of stellar musicians: Rix (Ricky Feria) on guitar, Chando on keys/synth, Ty Piña on saxophone, Ben Suarez from The Hip Snacks on bass, and Daniel Colbert on violin. 

This collective effort imbues an authentic, infectious energy into the album, resulting in a singular fusion Boogie Lights has coined Electronic Dance Funk (EDF) – a seamless blend of live funk and electronic dance music
