Chris Williams

Chris Williams was an American living in Sydney in the mid 1970's. He was a DJ in Kings Cross spinning the latest dance records to revellers each weekend. In 1975 he decided to step out from behind the DJ booth and have a go at cutting his own disco material. He contacted Sydney party outfit the Hotrox Band who included Brooke Tabberer on vocals and Graeme Skelly on guitar. In one evening they put down an albums worth of memorable funk and disco material that was released as "Keep On Dancing". Williams also recorded a single the same year with another band known as the Austral Funk Machine for Wizard Records. It claims to be Australia's first disco hit and while it was never a hit it is probably the first Aussie disco release.
