Crisco Disco is a term that was coined by
Laromlab, a musical
project of Brandon Harrod, to describe his own music. It
is used to explain the slippery and slidey quality to the music in
which Harrod makes using a Commodore 64 emulator along with a
Game Boy emulator. The
music which inherently has a very 8 bit disco feel just could not
be contained within the disco category because of the uniqueness of
the bass sounds ultimately created by the SID chip of the
Commodore 64 and Vic-20 .
This genre also falls into the same categories as Wobble Funk, Chiptunes and Jiggy Bounce.
There was
a well-known gay dance club in NYC called The Crisco Disco. The DJ
would spin from on top of a giant facsimile of a can of Crisco. An
inside joke in the gay community. This was way back in the 70s and
early 80s. So I don't know about someone "coining" the term.
