According to Ken Cayre , it was his exposure to early discothèques that gave him the idea to record music for the dance market . Salsoul released the first commercially available 12-inch single , Double Exposure 's " Ten Percent " , in 1976 . Salsoul was affected by the disco backlash of 1979 , but it was one of the few labels to survive after the death of disco . It continued to release new material until 1984 , when the Cayre brothers shut down their recorded music operations to concentrate on the home video business , such as GoodTimes Entertainment
