“House Music is Disco’s Revenge”
-Frankie Knuckles
💯 Puttin this quote behind the bar
Damn 😎
No fue la Música Disco lo que forma el House, el House es Música Electrónica...es la EDM (Giorgio⚡Moroder) desde 1977 la cual forma el House en los 80s.
La escena Electro Funk & Disco tiene cierta influencia pero es la EDM (ramas primarias NRG & Synthpop) que forman lo elemental del House al igual que el Techno (ramas de la EDM 80s).
Es decir tumbaron la escena Disco pero dejaron pasar la Electrónica EDM (NRG & Synthpop) la cual se desenvolvía y promocionaba en la escena Funk & Disco.
En los 80s la EDM ramifica en House, Techno, Synthpop, NRG, Freestyle, Italo, New Beat, Trance, Ácid, Eurobeat... incluída la base del llamado "EBM" y lo más sofisticado de la Electro Industrial.
La venganza de la Disco y que sepulta al Rock es la EDM.
Actually Hi-NRG was 😳
@@brandonmoss7976true, patrick cowley translated disco into synthesizers
Disco really said “If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could ever imagine”, and it did.
You win the internet with this one

*Italo disco :)
@@wolfchild9755 Correcto...Italo también era etiquetado como Disco por su conexión a esta escena pero Italo nace de la EDM en específico de la linea primaria NRG (High Energy).
Italo también comparte House & Electro Funk primario el cual también se formó de la EDM concreta (desde 1977).
Nah disco died of AIDS.
My parents were born in 1980. I was born 17 years later in a Chicago winter of 1997. My parents raised me on House and Freestyle music. I’ll never forget all the house parties I attended as a kid watching my dad get down on the tables. Miss those days. This music lives forever. I’m 25 now and I can’t wait to show my future kids this music.
That’s amazing. God bless you all. You were raised right!
Love this. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you to all the haters of Disco Music out there for making the House Music to become a world wide sensation. House Music took over the world, and the whole world gets together thanks to House Music. Good vibes to all my brothers and sisters for all the support to this spiritual thing called House Music.
Yaaassss!!
Gotta love Disco .Without Disco there would be no House :)
This is our House! and in our House, there's only House music! 💚
@@yungwildnfree why gatekeep ? We all in this together
@@eggbear9555
Oh i wasnt replying to your comment especially or trying to gatekeep. Its just a text from a House song. I also like disco tracks
90's House is the reason I got into it. Crystal Waters, CeCe Peniston, BlackBox, Hathaway, and Robin S all were a vibe.
Watered down crap. 80s house was the best. Songs made by the house dj's not pop stars
Haddaway. But that's Euro Dance, not house.
I hated euro dance, but You Gotta Show Me Love got me forever.
It was ten city for me
This video is almost 6 years old and I just discovered it just now?! Damn, this gem needs more views!
didnt even know of THE LEGEND LARRY HEARD till 2days ago and i call myself a deep house head damnnn !!
💯👏🏾
There is a more in-depth documentary from the early 2000s as well.
i think this was a 4 part series on uk tv via channel 4 this is part 1
I was born in Houston in '83 but mostly grew up in Miami. I remember as a little kid in the 80s in Houston whenever my family would have parties we'd mostly play Latin American music (we're Colombian and Salvadoran) like Salsa and Cumbia. But, my older cousins and uncles who were in their teens and early twenties would start break dancing and they'd put on House mixtapes (the true mixtapes that you couldn't buy at record shops; you'd have to get them straight from the DJ himself and he might either give it to you for free or charge you something for it). That's how I first learned about House (and Techno)... as just some toddler at a family house party haha.
Facts. I was one of those DJ's.
$$DJ$DOLLAR$BILL$$
And I'm very grateful to have such pioneers to inspire me, a west coast guy into many other sports and activities all my life. By fate I was drawn to it at a young age and I didn't care that nobody had a clue what I was listening to but it wasn't long before the darn town wanted to be a DJ. No better feeling, just carrying that torch back then and giving it all I had and enjoying life. Good times man... Goood times.
Thats just amazing

We had a vinyl copy of Electro One from Streetsounds, this was in Herefordshire around 1984. There was an insert that had Streetsounds merchandise you could buy, caps, hoodies, t-shirts etc. but also you could buy mixtapes for $5. Me and my friends saved up, bought a Postal Order for $10, in England and off it went. Maybe three, four months later, we go this c-90 cassette mixed by some DJ from New York. The first side was 45 minutes of mixing White Lines by Grandmaster, over and over. The second side had a few more tunes on it and the DJ had drawn the track listing all over the cardboard in biro in a graffiti style. The day the tape broke was like losing a family member.
@@j.maxell3030 House music is an outgrowth of disco. It has its roots in disco. all you have to do is listen to house music and you can see the evolution of disco,
So this is why so many House records today have a vinyl print as their thumbnail/cover
I grew up on House, Rave, Jungle, Electro and Hip Hop!
Amazing times in music!
All of those right there!!!
Yep!!!!! Facts.
How traumatic, how did you survive ?
I grew up with trance euro dance Italo dance house garage freestyle ♥️
You grew up through some great times in music!
It just hit me that black people created soul, RnB, rock, hip-hop, the blues, house, and reggae. It's a beautiful thing and if I'm missing any genres please do tell 😌♥️

Im from Chicago, the warehouse closed right when I was old enough to go out.... :/
This was great to see the inside of warehouse, dream come true :)
There's still a scene in Chi, Smart Bar ect.
2023 and im still jammin to house music...
House music will be around for many more years but I think the best decade was the early 90's when it really came alive.
@@blackgold63 early aughts was good too...
@@blackgold63I used to throw parties in the early 90’s… best time ever….
RIP Frankie. I'll never forget the last time I saw you at the Boiler Room NYC. You were and always will be a legend for what you did for the house movement!
Maybe you can answer a question. What's the name of the track playing at 14:16? Thx.

Frankie nukkles true house music legend
Chicago. December 1984. My discovery of House Music thru radio station WBMX (102.7 FM). I was in 8th grade, and 13 years old. At the time I heard the disco rhythms alongside the raw sounds of the conspicuous House tracks. Mickey Mixing Oliver was the first deejay I heard, then Ralphi Rosario, and ultimately Farley Jackmaster Funk. In 1985 when I first started buying House records the first purchases were tracks by Jessie Saunders, Chip E. and Steve Silk Hurley - on the titan labels DJ International and Trax.
I was born in Vietnam '72 (1/2 Black, 1/2 Vietnamese), lucky enough to be adopted by an American family (Jewish mom/Sicialian dad) raised in LI, NY and it was HOUSE music in the late 80s early 90s, the early mornings at Shelter, that made me discover what I was drawn to and what I love...to this very day. Thank you for this documentary...so interesting to know the history.
Thanks for the share. I’m from Chicago and at the age of 55, I’m still a “House Head”. Great days and beautiful memories.
Respect
Y'all were ahead of the game on bachata also.
Kabooms, nitros , Excalibur was my spots back in the day..

Wasn't Excalibur downtown? I'm trying to recall it's location.
R.I.P. to legend Frankie Knuckles ❤
Been listening to House music since I was a kid in the early 90s. It's wonderful and amazing how it evolved.
And it's older than you by two decades
Would you have any good classics to recommend ？

House was such an important waypoint in the post-punk world. The DIY ethos, the lack of industry involvement, just kids doing their own thing. Loved it. So many genres owe their existence to punk and house.
I remember my days at the Music Box on Saturdays and The Warehouse on Fridays I enjoyed Ron’s 3 day marathons so well. I loved them both but Ron was chief for me. I remember handing Ron a 120 min. blank tape during a set and asking him sheepishly to make me a live tape. When I got home to listen to it I realized he only did half the tape, but I was still overjoyed. I still have it today. Sweet memories.
Put It online Bro...thanks for sharing this story
Rons marathons , would come Friday jack all night go home in the late morning shower eat and go back jack jack jack jack....that was the best of times !!!!
CHITOWN!
wow that’s crazy
Go Ronnie 🎉🎉
In the beginning there was Jack
And Jack had a groove.
And from this groove
Came the grooves of all grooves
And while one day vicously throwing down on his box
Jack boldly declared, let there be house.
And house music was born.
duuuuude just reading these lyrics gave me the goosebumps!! RIP Frankie Knuckles and Paul Johnson (I went to every party I could with PJ djing in the 90s, and got to know him as an adult. Attended many of his birthday parties. Fond memories of feeding him my famous cake).
I remember House before it was called House
I remember House when House respected House
I remember House when House grew from the roots of House
I remember House when House was Soul Music and R&B
Before House was disco
I remember Housе before the super clubs
I remember House when people knew the lyrics of House
I remember House before record labels sold the house
I remember House when House was about love
I remember House
@@tipsybass7060Paul Johnson was my favorite DJ that played in my small Indiana town in the late 90s and early 2000s at what we called parties but our parents and authorities called raves. He got me and I'm sure many others my age into house music. RIP Paul
@@oldmancannabis3026 yeah I got to know him personally as an adult while living in NW IN and Chicago. Celebrated a few bdays with him, and fed him my famous cake. He was incredibly funny, and had a warm hug anytime I saw him (at least 2-3 lol). One of my favorite memories was when he came to Madison (wi) to play a show, and wasn’t there yet. I was outside smoking when he pulled up. There was a group of three nasty women outside, and when they saw his homie get him out and into the wheelchair, they said snidely, ‘who the fiux would bring a dude in a wheelchair to a club? No one wants to see that when they’re having fun’. I went up to collect my hug from him before he went outside. I walked up to their circle, and told them they should watch their mouths when talking shit… because that’s the legendary dj Paul Johnson that the entire club has been waiting for to arrive. I pity any disabled person in your life, for you being trash. Well, I’m going to dance! Deuces!’ Homie heard the interaction, as they weren’t fully inside yet.
And in my house there is only house music
But I am not so selfish
Because once you enter my house it then becomes our house
I loved this sound growing up! I got into this at age 19, I didn’t understand that I was apart of a movement. I would be on the dance floor sometimes until 9am in the morning in Toronto, Chicago and New York! Those days was fabulous!
That demolition of disco records always left a bad feeling in my soul! It changed my life forever when i was young! I became a club kid after that!
At 2:18 the cat is like “ Ahh this song again…. “ 😂😂
You beat me to that joke 😂
House cat
@@nolesy34 Oh snap, I just got that joke 😅
Oh man , this hit home!… when I saw him go pull out the first record from the little box and I saw the “Trax” record logo, I went crazy, and without hesitating I said I hope this is Marshall Jefferson’s Move Your Body, and BAM, it was!!!… that touched my soul!…
I love and adore the incomparable Nile Roger's and his entire sound and vibe, both him and the late great musical partner performer producer Bernard Edwards....Chic, and productions from Sisters Sledge, Diana Ross etc.💜🥰
To us House Music was the son of Disco. We played House Music all day and night, in 82 we all lived around the 65th and Ashland area and went to Harper and we Dj house Parties Friday nights and was at the record shop on Saturday mornings buying more records with the money we made that Friday and Saturday night we were at the Rink Zone to see Little John, Leonard Remix Roy and The Jack Master spin and had dance groups like Bostich, American Boy and Girls, PUNK, GA, Passion etc. I remember the nights we didn't spin we would go from DJ's house to house learning new tricks and Just hanging out. We learned allot from Hugo, Tyree Cooper, Mike Dunn, Farley Buck and so on...most of us went to school together back then...Good times. RIP Kevin Jelly Bean Boatman my Dj partner of Gemini Productions.
Grew up on 80th & MLK! House Music for life! Moved to Bmore in 86...gosh it was Hard adjusting to lack of house music. Made me miss Chicago!!
This is the most accurate story of how House music was started! Trust me , I was there! Let’s make a movie! #discodave still lives ! ❤

Years ago, I was trying to explain to a young coworker what the difference between house music and techno. I said House was Disco music's son. The longer I've lived, the more samples I have discovered coming from early disco included in house music
1:55min anyone hear the sample of KRS1 Jimmy "do me a favor, wear your hat?" wow
Diferencia entre House y Techno...no hay mucha ya que ambos nacen de la EDM concreta.

House music is underrated and so is freestyle😢 who remember All & All
Frestyle, we have a real OG here.
Latinos always associate or call Freestyle House Music and it's not. Freestyle has no soul. When I was growing up on the Southside of Chicago in the 80's black people never listened to Freestyle.
I am now a 90's House music fan.
I started listening to house music well we didn't know it as house then in 1987. The likes of Technotronic, then black box,C.C. peniston, Snap,Jomanda,Inner city, ten city,clubland etc. But knew it as dance music 🎶 I 💕house especially old skool house music.
Now you're talking 😊

My high-schools sweetheart and I got into house music in about 1988. I had been going to the clubs in NYC since I was 12 w my older sister. She'd bring me so I couldn't tell on her. I began going to other clubs without her. First freestyle, then there was house. We traveled to Chicago when I was 15 to hit the house clubs!
i’m going to be 18 soon and i’m from chicago. I grew up on this music because of my mom and I still listen to it to this day!! i was confused when i looked up house and edm comes up because i grew up with the old house music but I still do love edm
Not the old house music, the real house music. Glad you were exposed to the truth
you have learned the truth my freind 👏👏👏👏
Here in South Africa, House music gets played on mainstream radio. I think the white radio stations might play EDM periodically but, that’s not my vibe. I like House
@@KAMOYA17 SA is keeping real house music alive. It has its own sound, just like NYC and Jersey created their unique take to it back in the days.

This is absolutely awesome. I had no idea House music came from America! Hats off to these fellas who created one of the most popular genres of music in the world!
My middle school used to throw dances and we were still listening to house/disco hits in the mid 90s
I love these documentaries, and I am glad it was created! Thank you for whom ever had a hand in house music no matter what color, age, sex, whatever
I grew up in Chicago, I cannot belive that we were about to get into these clubs as teenagers! I was going downtown with my family as a child, but in 1985 I was 14, my friends and I would go to the Rainbow beach, the Bungalows, the Point, under the bridge on 47th, 35th street, 31st street, then onto North Avenue Beach all the way to Rainbow Skate rink on Clark Street. We would go to Club Medusa and the Wild Hare! None of us lived an alternative lifestyle, but when we went to the Warehouse and Music box... we thought that it was deep house because guys and girls would jack with the speakers! The floor in the Warehouse was ROCKING! i lived by Keith Nunally, so people like Ron Hardy, Franky Knuckles, Steve Silk Hurley, and Farley Jackmaster Funk would be around. I lived in Beverly on the Southside, so we'd go Mendel and Longwood academy! When we stared DJing in the early 89s we carried records in milk crates to have our DJ block battles! I went to Morgan Park C/O of 89! We had so many house parties... I cannot belive our parents let us do this at the time. Rush street was another place to be, we went shopping at Water Tower place and chased girls, what a time to be alive! My guy @Jamie 3:26 is still banging the box! Strangely, Kanye is from around our way!
They're basically talking bout how NYC Local DJs started The DJ'ing Culture in the 70's. Magic Marker song titles, Buying "Doubles", DJ Battles/Sound Clashes.
Im a young Hispanic and since I was 8 I fell in love with house music, that was 12 years ago. And though I will always love that side of EDM (early 2010s: Avicii, David Guerra, Tiesto, Martin Garrix , Zedd, SHM…) I also love the earlier stuff, and I had no clue house music was created by African Americans in the 70s until 2 years ago. Glad to hear some good earlier house music ❤️ Nothing goes hard than some good house music
@Maria-Melek - It's called musical acculturation. White-washing the original creators out of the history and the face of it and three generations later, here you are my dear. I'm glad that you were able to discover the roots of House music and the people/community who created it. Keep it going and educate others!!!!
@@clubhead433 Most popular genres of music are made by black people this is a no brainer that everyone seems to conveniently ignore
@@loweni7460 I'm totally aware of that fact, most definitely, without a doubt.

Well, disco is from the seventies but I get ur meaning.
What a great documentary. As a lover of house music, especially live shows, I appreciate this so much!
Thank you for uploading this amazing video onto TH-cam.
I come from National Park of Cilento, Alburni Mountain and Vallo di Diano, an area in the Campania Region, southern Italy. Where at that time the house music was THE MUSIC AND THAKS TO THAT I started to approach to the club
As my area Is very close to Neaples I really enjoyed that kind of music as in Neaples there were my club and djs that used to play HOUSE MUSIC. Great Memories.
Great doc! Huge smile @ 14:14 seeing Kraftwerk (Computer World) and Liaisons Dangereuses records being held up. Oh the memories...
I have to give Black DJ credit for starting the underground House music and went mainstream. I graduated in 84' and House music is still my prefer music.
He had the records in the "Garage".. excellent idea and great opening to this video! Like Hip Hop, House will never die.
Such a great documentary!!!! Thanks for the upload!!!! 🙏🙏🙏
I remember in 1986 visiting Crossley's Bar in dean clough, Halifax. I was just 16.
It had 3 floors and 3 styles. Rock, Pop, and the top floor.... HOUSE and it was packed.
That was my first introduction to house music and mixing.
It took another 30 years before I began to learn to DJ, but the seeds were planted back then.
Ironically, it was so busy it had to close for health and safety reasons (no real fire escape).
From the bottom of my heart, I thank these people for creating house music. I listen to it while growing up and during my ups and downs.
Catapila - Void (Lisa Marie Experience) This is the song that sucked me into house back in 99. It has been a minute since I've been to a house function. Some of the best memories of my life.
This video began with the definitive (for me) house track and I'm so happy that it did. I was too young for the fabulous Levan years but his mixes live on and on... Love Is The Message ❤
Move your body - Marshall Jefferson
Love that Jesse wears a shirt of his own Single
Such a fun era in music! I'm so glad to have been there!
Wow loved this , first track he picks up is house music
Marshall Jefferson
Awesome documentary
I love house music ❤️❤️❤️❤️
No words can describe how I feel about this movement its my life
I'm STILL.loveing House music at 67..Great exercise..The Garage..NYC..with the gospel house on EARLY SUNDAY MONDAY..TIME TO GO..LOL..
Love this stuff! I started DJing in 1992 and House music was so integral to my life. Still is. Love seeing the history being covered in such a great way. Thank you.
Same, got my first set of belt drive decks at the age of 15 in 1997.... and have always had decks, vinyl, and house music in my life ❤ although now at 41 I have me a set of technics m5gs.... my babies 😊
So, I guess I was the Second wave of House Music fans as I didn't really fall in Love with it until '86! I Hated it at first! But then one night I went with some friends down on Rush Street, we walked by this place, and I heard Exactly what was played at 13:54 on here!!! A Beat pounding through the walls sounding like a giant's heartbeat or the Stomping of the giant himself! I had to get closer! When I went inside, I was HOOKED!! Los Niños Del Parque!!! Man, I miss Chicago in the 80's and 90s!!
Such an amazing and important documentary, True pioneers right there
I didn't expect this at all. Awesome doc!
I’m always bound to move my body when I listen to house music, it is beautiful, I’d go as far to say it’s the only sort of music I enjoy! What a beautiful beautiful thing created by these amazing and incredibly talented people.
I doubt we'll ever see another musical revolution as profound as this one. No other music transcends boundaries the way dance music does.
Rap
@@johnschmidt2964 true but by 2017 we reached a point were pretty much all mainstream rap had a lot of house music influences. (i.e. trap rap)
@@NeXaSLvL Of course. House was an incomplete movement, hip hop was complete more than any, maybe. HH had visual art/ graffiti, many many fashions/ clothes, it’s own unique dance/ breaking, it’s own music/ rap, spoken word/ poetry. It hit all the categories like no other. House never hit this many categories, a few at best. Idk if any movement hit this many? Edit, it also transcended sports and politics. The Beatniks were the last movement to have such an impact, they were the last literary movement which was very strong. Literature has a strength most categories don’t. John Chicago SAIC graduate. Critic.
@@NeXaSLvLrap is still evolving
@@agridulce3532Not in a good way.
House music came to South Africa and it was called "international" and it became the biggest genre that South Africans loved and adapted and made our own till today South Africa musically is defined by Dj's.
Funny thing I'm American and learned about house music in South Africa. I haven't stopped listening since
It's will always be American music, just like Karate will be Chinese...smh
@mistablackfolks karate will always be japanese you mean
@@Glendocious 😂😂 House Music Dj's are rockstars in South African.
@Kushy36 I know man been to a few black coffee shows
GREAT DOCUMENTARY!! Big props!!
Been into electronic music since I was 10, currently 23 now I’m doing homework to pay respects to the legends that started it all. Hoping it would help to pursue my production as well.
Where can me and my son watch the rest of this. It’s such an interesting history lesson for him!
Thats so wholesome :)
search for:
„the story when house music went global“
„I was there when house took over the world“
„pump up the volume….“
Dope content! I love the history and hearing their stories.
My god, this is incredible. Thank you so much to the creators of this vid. These people are legends. Critical knowledge for all House fans. All electronic music fans for that matter!
Thank you to these geniuses for creating such an art!
I first heard house music in 85 the radio WBMX on friday night starting at 10 and sat night
Thank you for the wonderful rhythm and beats and style house music 4 ever!!! My childhood and now house music all night long!!
Wow, the continental Baths that was the first disco my cousin took me when I was 13 years old.
If you want a rabbit hole to go down compare this time-line to that of hip-hop and drum machines and synth development. House is mostly samples and drum machines with a hint of synth
And the root of it all is Jazz-Funk.
Hip hop and house developed in parallel, but hip hop was more sample based. House records like 'Your Love', 'Move Your Body', and 'Can You Feel It' don't contain any samples. They were made by musicians with synths and drum machines. Someone actually played the keyboards on those tracks. (e.g. Larry Heard created 'Can You Feel It' with a Juno 60, a 909, and a tape recorder. Samplers like the SP-1200, and the mixing and scratching of old soul/funk records was more of a hip hop thing. (Samplers eventually became more common in both genres once they were cheaper though, but to this day you need synths for house music. Hip hop not so much, because the basis of tracks used to be old funk breaks, but now it's sample packs.)
Definitely parallels - the ability to 'do it yourself' on a budget (i.e. not needing a full band) launched House and Hip Hop
What a wonderful thing music.. creating,exploring, pushing the limits
Thank You, that was an amazing video...
Honey Dijon at Boom Boom Room in the 2000s will remain a treasured past in my memories.
Chicago house music was the craze back in the 90's loved the Era. Still love it to this day! Frankie Knuckles became such a household name. But absolutely loved that underground sound from Derrick L Carter
Yo. Derrick started off working as a kid at Imports Records in the 80s. He wasn't part of the original house music sound. He was more into the Detroit techno sound with the likes of Mayday. I know, I use to buy all my records at Imports.
90s was the decline of house
I grew up during Disco eras in a far away country in Africa in Secodary (high school) School. The only music we played, listened to, and danced to were American Disco songs. We adopted big Afro hairs and adopted American clothing styles and shoes' styles. It was fantastic times of life.
Wait, you grew up in Africa and adopted the afro hairstyle from the US? To me, a North West European, that sounds pretty strange.
@@DondeRob no, it was fashionistic. It wasn't the majority, just those who saw the trend of coolness it had, like rock fans wearing metal and makeup/such. They even implemented the Jheri curl hairstyle in a lot of saloon shops in Africa. Cause African blood is STILL AFRICAN.
OMFG theres a reason its called a fucking "afro" weirdo !
Right on point “we did not know what we were doing”. So punk rock, yes punk rock.
Growing up in white rural Canada I wish I’d known about house. We used to workout to disco in gym class and I loved that stuff. Great memories. Now I see I’ll love acid house and tech house.
And in NYC it was Larry at the Paradise garage droppin bombs blowing minds opening ♥s to this new kind of dance music called "Garage"
The rest as they say is...f*cking legendary 🕺
ABSOLUTELY!
In the beginning, there was Jack, and Jack had a groove.
And from this groove came the groove of all grooves.
And while one day viciously throwing down on his box, Jack boldy declared,
"Let there be house!" and house music was born.
I am, you see,
I am the creator, and this is my house!
And, in my house there is only house music. But, I am not so
selfish because once you enter my house it then becomes OUR house and
OUR house music!" And, you see, no one can own house because
house music is a universal language, spoken and understood by all.
You see, house is a feeling that no one can understand really unless
you're deep into the vibe of house. House is an uncontrollable
desire to jack your body. And, as I told you before, this is
our house and our house music. And in every house, you
understand, there is a keeper. And, in this house, the keeper
is Jack. Now some of you who might wonder.
Who is Jack, and what is it that Jack does?
Jack is the one who gives you the power to jack your body!
Jack is the one who gives you the power to do the snake.
Jack is the one who gives you the key to the wiggly worm.
Jack is the one who learns you how to walk your body.
Jack is the one that can bring nations and nations of all
Jackers together under one house.
You may be black, you may be white; you may be Jew or Gentile.
It don't make difference in our House.
And this is fresh!
This was amazing interesting and easy to watch thanks
The really interesting thing about the history of house music and not many people actually know about it, is that..
JOEY IS A MUSH.
This was a great documentary. I would love to see more!!!❤
In South Africa 🇿🇦 House Music is everything
no lie detected , it even birthed amapiano
Loved this. Back in 89/90 pre-internet when this music was really taking off in the UK I used to wonder where it was coming from, US, Italy, Belgium, UK?….. Curious about which came first Chicago House or Detroit techno?
Chicago house came first. Juan Atkins might have made electro with Cybotron in Detroit in the early '80s, but techno didn't even have a name until the UK release in 1988 of the seminal compilation "Techno: The New Dance Sound of Detroit" (featuring the huge crossover hit 'Big Fun' by Inner City, Juan's 'Techno Music' that gave the genre its name, and various other tracks by the Belleville Three). By 1988, the "House Sound of Chicago" compilations on Pete Tong's label, which started in '86, were already up to volume III (acid trax).
Belgium: Watch the documentary, TSOB or The Sound Of Belgium 😉
I was playing electronic dance music from detroit before records came out from chicago. Also Detroit had the dance show the Scene as well. And Mojo on the radio since 1977. Lets not even mention Motown making music that later was called disco. This takes nothing away from the Chi. They got real busy!! @@AutPen38
It seems like the best music and creativity come from diverting energy from turning bad times into good times
I was hoping to find a tracklist in the description or the comments..
This was the time to be alive. Being born i ‘82 I missed the beginning, but Im still so happy I got to live it in close retrospect.
I ❤ 🏠
It's funny, I was 12 years old listening to that disco radio station that Steve got thrown off of. That led me to loving House Music. My first club experience was the Power plant at the age of 16. Had the Jamie Principle tape in collage, probably made 20 copies to give out. I'm 56 and yes, I still go to club and jack my body.
I'm 56, and I remember Disco era, and early House around '77, but listening to late hip-hop mix shows in '81 '82 the later I would stay up, and listen to House Music blends. I'm glad to still hear these records at local Atlanta clubs, and House In The Park every Labor Day weekend at Grant Park in Atlanta. That's an experience. 50k+ people in a large city park listening to House Music and classics.
@NatGirrl Gurl, what you saying.... Jamie Principle the girl moaning...what!!!! I was at all the Mendal H.S parties!!
@@ms.t.g.9176 😁
This is beautiful man…. I’d not be here today if it weren’t for house music! Got me through my happiest times, my lowest lows. You may be black, you may be white, you may be Jew, or gentile. It don’t make a difference in our house- and this is *Fresh*
One of my favorite House DJ's is COLETTE as she bring the older Disco vibe through her music. Not to mention she is a Chicago native!!! Keep the vinyl spinning!!!
In the beginning of this documentary they mentioned Larry Lavan but never mentioned the "Paradise Garage", "Club Zanzibar" or "Studio 54"... There were so many clubs and so much damn fun..💖💖❤❤🥰🥰✌✌
Well, as someone that was there for both, I prefer the organic orchestral sounds of Disco. Real people playing real instruments with a horn and string section and a diva singing down in front. Music that took you on a journey.
Garage Music started in NYC. When Frankie came to Chicago there was an existing scene with the black kids called Punk Out, which was early new wave and post punk. It took the merging of both of those scenes to create what is known as House.
Wow didn’t know house music began in Chi town … awesome 👏🏽
Began in NYC. Not Chicago.
NYC!
Very good upload!
Man when hip hop came to Australia we started breaking in 82/83. The electro sounds were new and futuristic and created techno
Then in 87 we started hearing the house and house come through in a 4 x 4 fashion then it exploded into rave in the late 80s and spawned many genres. Sure I loved hardcore then jungle and trance but there was always good house music holding the Fort, and techno.
House and Techno are the drivers of it all.
But also saying that, Drum n Bass now is a bona fide genre in its own right that sits as a driver.
Trance too I guess. Man you gotta love ELECTRONIC MUSIC 🎶
No fue la Música Disco lo que forma el House, el House es Música Electrónica
Es la EDM Concreta (Giorgio⚡Moroder) desde 1977 la cual forma el House en los 80s.
La escena Electro Funk & Disco tiene cierta influencia pero es la EDM (géneros primarios NRG & Synthpop) que forman lo elemental del House al igual que el Techno (ramas de la EDM 80s).
Es decir tumbaron la escena Disco pero dejaron pasar la Electrónica EDM (NRG & Synthpop) la cual se desenvolvía y promocionaba en la escena Funk & Disco.
En los 80s la EDM ramifica en House, Techno, Synthpop, NRG, Freestyle, Italo, New Beat, Trance, Ácid, Eurobeat... incluída la base del llamado "EBM" y lo más sofisticado de la Electro Industrial.
@@j.maxell3030 100% yes disco was before house . You go further and say r&b was before disco. Let's say black music was the emergent urban sound then technology brought us electronic renditions and then we had the many branch outs into disco, avant garde, electro. You go on and on man.
I 💋 💖 electronic music.
@@Trynmliminatm La ramificacion se dió por la música electrónica...no por la música Disco la cual era solo una etiqueta del Funk, R&B, Soul, Motown y el sonido urbano que mencionas.
El House y su base electrónica parte de la pura música electrónica de la EDM con agregados del Electro Funk y la escena Disco (la cual no era EDM ni Electrónica Pura).
Se confunde mucho la música Disco (Funk & Soul) con la EDM (NRG & Synthpop).
One of my favourite music genres of all time!
