    History of House Music

    A documentary that should be mandatory to watch, a history lesson to anyone that's ever set foot at a club and was captured by the grooves of house music. This 15 episode will guide you through the early days of Larry Levan's Garage, The Warehouse, WBMX, Trax Records, Jamie Principle and Frankie Knuckles' "Your Love" and Jesse Saunders' "On and On", Ron Hardy's Music Box - home of Jack, the 303 & DJ Pierre inventing acid house, Derrick May's "Strings of Life" that creates a new genre called techno, Tony Watson, Goldie, Pete Tong and yes, even Oakenfold is interviewed among many legendary figures who created Music for all of us in the past decades. Watch, learn and listen to what they have to say. Enjoy!

                  All in all...I think I will be going back there some time soon

                  So white-middle class Americans have been told by their Television sets to be fearful of:

                  1. Mexicans/Latinos from the South bringing drugs and killings n' shit.
                  2. African Americans cause mos def they are raging a race war and want to occupy America like how the plebs occupied Wall St.
                  3. Iranians/Afghans/Any one of middle eastern origin to be quite frank, cause you know Islam...
                  4. North Koreans/Chinese cause you know everything...

                  Am I close here?

                                              great stuff...
                                              I really like DJ Piere's opinion about "the sound"...and its nice to see all the big names talk about the roots...I never knew a lot of these things. I thought it was all about New Order/ Happy Mondays...

                                              p.s. where does Trance come into the picture?

                                                      Re. those videos, any more info on them? Who produced them, anyway to get them in proper releases?

                                                      I got pics and video. But I will upload them in the morning. I need to smoke this nice phat joint and just close my eyes and replay the amazingness in my head.

                                                          "If you ignore the cliched, breakdown-build-anthem template side of the genre that is so canned and predictable you can set your watch to it, trance is still pretty fun. Unless you're trying to be a Sasha worshipping pretentious snob not partaking in that, in which case you don't even want to admit you're listening to trance anymore."
