Studio 54 lights up the nightlife with NFT photos of the famous Disco Club and Paradise Garage
44 years ago, Steve Rubbell and Ian Schrager opened a nightclub called Studio 54, launched during the heyday of the disco trend in America. Within a short time, the club became world famous and stars such as Woody Allen, Betty Ford, Calvin Klein, Timothy Leary, Farrah Fawcett, Lisa Minnelli, David Bowie, Cher, Rick James and Mick Jagger attended regularly.
The club itself closed and in 2020, the company expanded into a record label called Studio 54 Music and has a radio station on Sirius XM called Studio 54 Radio. Now the team behind Studio 54 has teamed up with Superrare Collectible Token (NFT) Marketplace for non-fungible token and has released a number of unique NFTs. The first landing began with the Superrare offset from four photographs taken by famed photographer Bill Bernstein.
In 1977, the Village Voice sent freelance photographer Bernstein to capture candid photos for Studio 54 trends. “The four works include digital film images, collages, mixed media slideshows, and contact papers highlighting excerpts that have never been seen before,” the Superrare ad details. Giving more context to the golden age of disco and the New York City scene between 1977-1981.

In addition, Studio 54 and Superrare released 8-bit NFT video game animation for the world famous disco club with special music. NFTs are “accurate pixel art animations inside a popular disco club.” The music associated with NFT Collectibles originates from two versions of Studio 54’s official record label, Studio 54 Music. “Night Magic Vol. I;’ EP Anthems from Studio 54 are reimagined and led at the modern studio Maven Disco in NYC [and] “help yourself ;” Maxi song by emerging dance musicians Jitwam and Timori”.
Data sent to Bitcoin.com News from the Studio 54 team confirmed that a portion of Bill Bernstein’s NFT sales proceeds will go to the Marsha P. Johnson Institute. A portion of the NFT 8-bit video game animation proceeds will benefit the Sound Mind Live (SML) charity.
