The Box inspired me. My cousin took there on a visit to Chicago. My mouth droped. I have never seen a club like the Box before or since. Everytime I came to town I had to hit the box. I would go back to Detroit and talk about what I saw. People would not believe me. When I started djing. I started with house music in Chicago and Detroit. Mostly Chicago. Detroit was'nt too much into House at that time. The Box changed my life.
box was popular. but u s studios(place where ron spun before the box) from the patrons ive met, was even better. my older brother first heard ron there as well as the box.
ok today they are laughing but quite rightly so i think. we took the music seriously! in chicago all the kids were making these tunes just for their own pleasure and dint expect anyone to be on it as much as they was. when it came across the atlantic it went nuts. i think the UK played a hand in making house worldwide.
i mean if anyone went out and bought the track ebeneezer goode by the shamen and thought it was a house classic you need to serously sort out your music collection if you have this on vinyl they do make good ashtrays .? then when the orb came on with little fluffy clouds with their down tempo beats thats not even classed has house this was the turning point for trance and trance to me is like house music with no soul
the US producers are still surprised today at how succesfull they are. i personally take me hat off to oakie and rampling helden etc! btw i think the producers listes by scuttle below make some fucking good tunes! and id love to know your influences too.
Chicago's Music Box was a sonic portal, Ron Hardy was a priest. Euphoric dancing to rhythmic beats is a form of energy that resounds throughout universe, it's been done for tens of thousands of years, like in rain dances. I question why big urban dance clubs like Music Box are all shut down. A former NYC mayor banned dancing in NYC in 2001, even before that house music was wiped from urban black radio in the mid-90's so that rap could be exclusively force fed to the youth.
garagedancer. There's more to it than that . House fell off because it became white sounding. Now it's a fraction of what it once used to be. I'm glad you brought up the underlying race issue in dance. It needs to be said.
anyone knows what version of "you got the love" he's playing at 00:57? It's not the original right? it's completely stripped down, and it has the bells etc
i agree! and if it wasnt for rampling, oakenfold and the like bringing the sound back. we wouldnt have had shoom. we wouldnt have had the scene and back then the DJs were not earning a lot! it wasnt for money at all.
Mayday, respect to him and all, elsewhere (years back) spoke out against MDMA rave culture in the UK, stating that it was not about drugs, or the music while on drugs, it was simply about the music, yet here he says that everything, anywhere, after Music Box pales in comparison, despite the fact that the Music Box was loaded to hilt with MDA, MDMA & Acid, while a smacked out Larry Levine manned the decks. Drugs and dance music are connected, have been for millennia, prohibition will not work.
There will never be another place like that when Ron Hardy was doin' what he was doin'. It was like voodoo with dance music. You know...If I had to think about it today or if I was thinkin' about it when I was playin' records every time, I wouldn't play. I would say..look at all of these people or look at all of these clubs! I would say this is bullsh*t...I would stop.
my influences lie with the true underground heads who was their for the music & not the money kerri chandler i mean he didnt even get one mention in the whole doc if i recall ? wayne gardnier aka logic from the warning fame ? fankie knuckles,maw,larry levan which i know all the past 3 were mentioned in the documentry it just annoys me too see talentless artist jumping on the case trying to make an easy buck just to say they was part of the original scene when infact they where just fakes .
And what the Hot Mix 5 did is still unique! That's when you had real dj's playing music with feeling and soul. Today you have posers and computer fakes playing commercial music that sucks! Back in the day a dj had to have talent and skill now all they need is a computer program! Thats LAME!!! I don't even listen to the mixes they have on the radio in chicago anymore, cause they totally suck!
2 turntables, mixer and A mic was all that was needed....Today is kinda sickening, with the fuckin IPOD and everything on CD..sad when I see that..Today everyone is a DJ..Paris Hilton fkn joke Ex pornstars now DJs, WTF? WHY? Bring back the damn vinyl and turntables. That I have respect for,carryin ur albums n milk crates and settin up ur amps and shit.That is real DJn I maybe stuck in the day, but w/all the new technology, get sad about everyone being a DJ cause they can work a fuckin computer.

'frequency 7' [dance mix] by visage
haha! I was just thinking the same thing! Someone come with the knowledge!
3:38...........Frequency 7 ................Visage .......Steve Strange
the US producers are still surprised today at how succesfull they are. i personally take me hat off to oakie and rampling helden etc! btw i think the producers listes by scuttle below make some fucking good tunes! and id love to know your influences too.
So Hot Mix 5 basically did the same thing Kool Herc did in 73. Played the breaks only. A true Hip Hop approach.
abxtale. Exactly what I was thinking.
glad someone put ron hardy on film in this doc and the usual suspects
