''No Commandments'' is the debut studio album by Australian pop duo Kaylan. It was released in September 2000 and peaked at number 22 in Australia (see 2000 in music). In an interview with Girl magazine, band member Darren explained the title by saying "At the time of writing the album, we weren't living by any!" Reviews Brendan Swift of AllMusic said; "Kaylan's debut album of R&B-pop firmly places the group in international class. The opening hit single, " Rock Me All Night" an infectious R&B starter, is light and catchy entertainment -- but where some other acts fall down, Kaylan back up their promise with an album that consistently delivers. Produced by Rockmelons, Kaylan pay homage to its influences -- Motown, Stevie Wonder, Prince and Earth, Wind and Fire -- without leaning too heavily on them. The acoustic-based "No Commandments" is funky and soulful while the second single, " Shake It" is straight-up funk. Other highlights include "Because of You," a laid-back tune in ...

Dance (music)
Dance music is music composed specifically to facilitate or accompany dancing. It can be either a whole musical piece or part of a larger musical arrangement. In terms of performance, the major categories are live dance music and recorded dance music. While there exist attestations of the combination of dance and music in ancient times (for example Ancient Greek vases sometimes show dancers accompanied by musicians), the earliest Western dance music that we can still reproduce with a degree of certainty are old fashioned dances. In the Baroque period, the major dance styles were noble court dances (see Baroque dance). In the classical music era, the minuet was frequently used as a third movement, although in this context it would not accompany any dancing. The waltz also arose later in the classical era. Both remained part of the romantic music period, which also saw the rise of various other nationalistic dance forms like the barcarolle, mazurka, ecossaise, ballade and polona ...

Disco started as a mixture of music from venues popular with Italian Americans, Hispanic and Latino Americans and Black Americans "'Broadly speaking, the typical New York discothèque DJ is young (between 18 and 30) and Italian,' journalist Vince Lettie declared in 1975. ..Remarkably, almost all of the important early DJs were of Italian extraction ..
