The Internet has brought the world much in terms of innovation, access to information, contact with others from far away places, etc. 

Life would never be the same again without such a wonderful facet of our lives; however, the Internet has also robbed composers, musicians, retail stores and record companies of their rightful income. Illegal downloading of copyrighted material has resulted in massive music industry job losses and retail record store closures.

Please help to preserve creative commercial opportunity for artists and the music industry by PURCHASING all your music.

If you like any of the music on this site,
 please BUY it from your local Record
Retailer
or an accredited on-line source !

If you download any Music via the Internet for FREE, you simply STOLE it !

Our Artists and Music Industry need your support to keep music viable and alive for everyone to enjoy now and in the future.

Let’s finally STOP the flawed culture of downloading music for free, which is pure THEFT.

If you copy a music recording
or software from the Internet and elsewhere ... you stole it.

Thank You for visiting my DISCO site.

Making this place happen has been the ‘Joy of my life’ these last 12 years and I hope you enjoy the unusual music I air each week.

The pictures (above and left) are actually ME in the Spring of 1979, when I was DJ’ing at Flo’s Palace, Fantasy Island and Patches - two very unique Dance Disco clubs in Sydney Australia
.

This site is a testament to the great love of music instilled in me by two extremely special people (Mum and Dad),
now passed-on ... but forever in my Heart !

LEE’S BIO
My name is Lee and I live on the outer Northside of Brisbane ... at Pitt Road, Burpengary, Queensland, Australia. 

If there is a great place on this earth, it’s here - with a tropical environment and opportunity for everyone. I grew up in Chermside and started work at the tender
age of 15 (after completing year 10 at school). My parents were both Ballroom dancers and had a great love of music. Through them, I grew-up with a fine
appreciation of music in all it’s forms. I fondly remember all those 45rpm 7 inch vinyl singles collected during my early years, many of which I still have today.

My beloved Parents are deceased now, but they both (Lillian & Aubrey) gave me the GIFT of music, which has run in my family for generations. My Grandfather,
Dick Porter, lead “Dick Porter’s Old Time Dance Band” in the 50’s and 60’s, featuring weekly ABC Radio Shows here in Australia. It’s ironic that I’m now following in
his footsteps with my weekly ‘Dance’ flavored Radio Shows here on the Internet.

I’ve maintained two parallel careers - Telecommunications and Hairdressing ... the income from both which has allowed me to purchase a wonderful home and
afford the costs associated with putting ‘Discointernet’ to air each week.

In the 70’s, funky music progressed from Pop to Soul to (ultimately) Disco ... and this is where I found my niche in life - the 12 Inch Vinyl Single and DISCO music.

I thought I was in heaven when all this wonderful rhythmic music suddenly came to life. I even went to the former Sabcar Model Agency (here in Brisbane) to
master the many Disco Dance Steps associated with music at the time ... “The Hustle”, “The Bump”, and others. WOW, what an era !

At the age of 18, I moved to Sydney in 1979 and literally fell-in to the music/club scene and ended up as a DJ at a few of the grooviest nightspots ever experience
here in Australia ... Flo’s Palace, Patches, Fantasy Island, etc. There, I played many of the tracks you now here on Discointernet. When others were getting rid
of their record collections, I’m so glad I kept most of my Vinyl Records throughout the years. I thank my great “Teacher” ... the MASTER of all things Disco (Mr Lee
Reiger) for his Expertise/Training and Friendship during my 70’s and early 80’s days as a mediocre Nightclub DJ.

In 1982, I came back to Brisbane and worked as DJ at “The Beat” nightclub, where I introduced so many Disco/Dance tunes which had escaped the attention of the
the music scene. Subsequently, I established Brisbane’s first Import Record Store at Wooloongabba aptly named “Dance Music”.

DJ’s and the public flocked to the store, buying the prolific 12” singles and LP’s of the time. We even the extended the service Pacific-wide via mail order services,
a first for Brisbane. I remember sitting at the Telex machine late into the night ordering Records (Fax machines and the Internet were not available then).

I then moved to the Gold Coast and subsequently to Melbourne, where I spend many years engrossed in my Telecommunications career. 11 years ago, I founded
a different Internet (hosted) Radio Show concept and Website. I called it Dancenetradio.com and was so fortunate to obtain an ‘APRA’ license which I proudly
maintain today. Rejecting the flawed concept of obtaining music for free (which could destroy our music industry), my prime aim on this site is to encourage people
to BUY all their music and never expect it to be a FREE commodity ! 

Initially, Dancenetradio was modeled on the former (exquisite) DanceGrooveRadio Internet Radio Shows from THE indisputable expert on all-things Disco ...
Bernie Lopez.  His Discomusic.com Internet Site is the only definitive source of Disco information on the Internet for this and future generations. I will always
THANK a great Friend (Darren Merrit) for his patience, friendship, understanding and superb technical abilities. Darren initially assisted me greatly, by helping me
turn a former dream into reality with his amazing knowledge of the Internet and media ability. If it was not for Darren, I would never have ventured onto the
Internet in the first place and would certainly be not here today.  I often think of Darren and pray he has achieved the reward he deserves in the I.T. field.

In early March 2005, I returned here to Brisbane and bought a great home on Brisbane’s Northside. I thank GOD each day for allowing me to experience and adore the wonderful Disco sound. It’s an unusual rhythmic form of music. For me, DISCO MUSIC is THE wonderful ongoing and sustaining facet of my life !
