I’m 30. But when I was in my early twenties. I remember leaving pacha in nyc Sunday morning, suns shining, my glasses on and my heart still beating to the music, while walking past normal people enjoying their Sunday. This one time we took the train back to jersey. My buddy had to go straight to work and he forgot his boots. He had this Sunday best shoes on and he calls me and I’m showering in cold water at 8am and screaming out the shower window and I kept moving my feet in the shower because I couldn’t come down.
I enjoyed House music in the UK, but Club Shelter in New York is where I loved to dance. My gay cuz he would take me there a lot. 12am to 12 noon,crazy hours. Just dance until u swet ! Bliss !
The rave scene was inspired by Chicago. People tried to copy what they were hearing the clubs at home but the parties were so big they had to take place in abandoned warehouses.
Dubside Productions stamp of approval!! People don’t realize it a group of British entrepreneurs started a record shop in Chicago were given the best education on the local scene of this city spread that understanding back to London.
@@1powerequalsgod Yep, House was born in Chicago. Techno was born in Detroit. In the US though, these genres just came and went out of fashion as if they were nothing. It was Europeans who learned about it and decided to transform it into a whole new culture and create numerous new subgenres. If I had to pick, I'd pick British Acid House over Chicago's. I'd pick Berlin's Techno scene over Detroit's.
This should be titled: How Clubbing Changed the UK. Where's the wonderful Techno culture of Berlin? What about the marvelous Trance period? Hardcore in the Netherlands? Italo Dance and Euro Dance in the early 2000????
Tristan Sanchez i hear you. i have been listening to Electronic Dance Music for 25 years, and only within the last 3 months, I've fallen head over heels in love with Acid House. it's life changing.
Disco and Dance music has always been uptempo R&B and Soul.....with a hit or two of Gospel. Also, disco and dance music make you want yo dance and respectively, and hands down.....black people know to get down!!!!
Chicago's magnetism proved especially powerful for musicians from New Orleans and the Mississippi Delta. Bountiful club work and, beginning in 1923, the possibility of making records, which did not exist in the Crescent City, proved irresistible. From 1917 to 1922, King Oliver's Creole Jazz Band, which performed at the Royal Gardens Café

Melbourne, Australia had one of the most brilliant outstanding dance/club/party/bush doof scenes on the planet in the early 2000's. I traveled/ done the awes dance party world over half my life; Melbourne shuffle/ clubbing culture is still the best I've experienced anywhere EVER So much love to my world wide clubbing brothers and sisters, the dancefloor makes us all family, xXx
I saw Paul Oakenfold in 2000 at Pacha. He was a phenom. It was weird tho, I'm not sure the crowd 'got it' because the floor was not packed. I think the audience at Pacha were more sophisticated, more European as opposed to Brits, a localish Ballearic crowd. Maybe they had no yet warmed up to Oakey's sound? All I know is there was a large crowd of beautiful people in the club who spent little time on the dance floor. Enough that it was noticeable. Those of us who sweated through every track on the emptyish floor got a treat. I spent the entire time grinning ear to ear and 'dancing' or my awful attempt at it, below the decks. When Oakey dropped Pearl Jam's 'Elderly Woman behind the Counter in a Small Town', I'm not sure if he was giving us a break or being ironic. To me it cemented my love for Oakey and that night will never be forgotten. The next night, or the night before, we were at El Divino for Paul Johnson. We had two big nights at the superclubs as well, the most memorable was Manumission at Privilege. Awe inspiring, a life changing experience. That week, wow.
Indeed Chicago, Detroit & Belgium only place with 100% electronic music in clubs since 80s. Even in Germany not many clubs playing 100% electronic in the late 80s. UK had illegal raves by the end of the 80s (and Hacienda).
I always wonder how the KLF get left out of these things. The really long House Music doc actually got around to The Orb and Ambient House, but thinking about hearing What Time Is Love in a club still gives me chills.
Absolutely, it's on my great RAVE90 tape I recorded when I was on holiday in London. The pirate stations played the best sounds, I recorded like 20 Cassettes in 1 week and made that 1 tape out of it. It still got a lot of great songs I never heard again. And What time is love? is the first song on Side B. Kick out the jams motherfuckers!
To everyone complaining about Guetta & Harris's credibalities, they're crediting their success in bringing dance music to the global mainstream industry and rightly so! This is a documentary for mainstream perspectives as House was never really underground like in the US & it's been mainstream here since the 80s. Just because it's not pop music, doesn't have to not be in pop culture.
Well in this doc they mentioned that Jack Your Body (1987) went straight to no.1 and tracks Ride On Time, Pump Up The Volume and S'Express were both 80s and mainstream house music, they were all also no.1. ofc they'd have an underground scene AS WELL AS a mainstream one but all music genres do. But yeah there is such a thing as 80s mainstream house.
+John Simkins No, it was the guys of the 90s that brought out electronic dance music to mainstream global popularity. Today DJs are riding the wave into the next level of popularity.
Funny how a summer hit - GET READY FOR THIS - has now nestled itself into a winter anthem - hockey specifically. Can still be heard at your local hockey rink as a crowd hype track.
Yet! The corporate music industry has sucked the life and art of what it meant and its message. I pray for the day that it return to it's underground analog turntablist roots. From the 1970's - mid 2000's is where it grew and peaked. And i hope that the internet and along with its sites like "Bandcamp" and others alike that help independent artists, producers and DJ's that can help bring it back.
Sorry, but first super club was the Boccaccio Live who opened his doors in 1985 and could officially earn 4000 peoples. Peoples came from the whole world to discover the unique atmosphere of that club. It isn't a hazard that the biggest & most beautiful Electronic Music festival take place in Belgium.
Belgium / Chicago / Detroit / Frankfurt indeed. Every UK documentary is a big Tong & Oakenfold show. They shamelessly copied all the electronic stuff from USA and Ibiza, Belgium, Germany,... Soon they will also pretend they invented the wheel.
I agree Ecstasty is not the anser to peace ,love and happiness. I think if one becomes more loving u can reach a state of one-ness ! Even Bless ! with no drugs at all, I know I've done it many times !
Too many chronological issues with this doc! It's VERY... all over the place! I wanted to remember my happy days as a clubkid from the U.S. who had just moved to England circa '89-'94 . This did no justice to those amazing experiences
I'm an electronic music fan since im 16 and its been 22 years now. It all started by buying all Kraftwerk, Jean-Michel Jarre, Vangelis LP-s in 1998. Putting David Guetta into this 90 minutes video after 10 minutes is a bit harsh, let alone it doesn't even keeps the chronological order. This is the reason I can't give credibility for this video and I disliked it, as a matter of fact putting David Guetta type hit-producers onto the same page where Kraftwerk and the acid house can be found is simply outrageous.
Great documentary, although i thought i was watching Pulp Fiction with the all the back and forth. Didn't make sense and so much is missing but interesting all the same
when it got too big, mainstream and the music industry stole it from the people and wrung it out ruthlessly to make much money as possible with it. the edm tracks from today, they are a caricature and a persiflage from itself trying hardly to copy the brilliance of the legendary classic tracks! most of the recent edm producers making sloppy test-tube music without any creativity, innovation and talent.its a sign of the times and a shame....
It's a shame that people that attend the clubs and festivals these days are only interested in just standing there holding a phone in the air or waving a flag in the air. Sadly in terms of dancing, things have taken a back seat since the evolvement of telephones with camera's. Camera's were rarely seen back in 88-94 and I am grateful that I was part of the Acid House and Rave scene back then......brilliant times and I've no shame in admitting I necked a load of E's back then.
Idk sir. I think in the future I’d be upset if I didn’t take as many videos as I have. When I’m older it will be nice to look back. We truly have given a back seat to dancing in its purest form. But that doesn’t mean the crowd is enjoying themselves any less.
How come all these "documentaries" all seem to almost BLATANTLY ignore the Florida scene starting from late eighties and growing into their, OUR, own style: Florida Breaks.... The doc by Idris Elvis makes such a big deal about remixes centering on a focal point being a '98 Tori Amos remix, when Rabbit in the Moon, a groundbreaking group from Florida that brought performance to the music, did that with one of her tracks in '92 called Out of Body Experience, one of the most sought after singles of the entire decade! Followed thereafter by Remixes & Remasters Vol 1 and 2... The doc Pump Up The Volume does the same thing.... Recognize Florida, pinheads!!! We brought Chemical Brothers, in turn the "big and glorious UK house" back to America from where it started..! Recognize!!! Also DJ Icey (booked Chemical Brothers first US gig), Baby Anne (groundbreaking female DJ ahead of her time), Rick West...I could name a hundred, those are just a few.. where's the recognition?!? Anyone??
Lebby Leb you are absolutely right my friend and there are a lot of British UK citizens expatriate in Florida as a matter of fact the expatriates consider Florida their southern colony of the crown LOL as a matter of fact since many British citizens live in the Caribbean especially in Bermuda that influence is widely felt
At the same time FL Breaks DJ’s like Icey and Baby Anne were dominating US clubs and raves, Garage was massive in the UK. Ironically UK Garage was totally absent from club culture in the US at the same time. The closest thing we had was speed garage, then 2 step, but neither were massive like garage was in the UK. I remember taking some DJ Icey bangers to play in a house and breaks set in London, and people were feeling it, but looking like it was kind of foreign (this was in like ‘99). As soon as I mixed in some “Garage” from my brother’s collection, that’s when the dance floor exploded. I feel like if you’re going to make a documentary on clubbing tho, you can’t ignore the influence of 80’s Freestyle, the Latin and B-Boy influences coming out of New York and Miami, which led to the breakbeat genre’s evolution and it’s integration into the house music scene, and EDM in general. Even Hip Hop was influenced by the breaks coming out of FL clubs. You can’t leave out 2 Live Crew when talking about FL, breaks, and clubbing, they were pioneers and inspirational to the whole ghetto tech/ Booty House genre, which was HUGE for many years. Of course most of that came from Chicago, but FL paved the way for people like DJ Funk and Godfather to put out records entirely about tits, ass and f*cking. Lmao I saw 2 Live Crew play a rave in Cleveland back in ‘98, and they had booty dancers that literally started having sex with random ppl on the dancefloor. It was wild. Moby and 2 Live Crew at the same event. There’s also been a ton of hip hop influence in the club scene, especially with drum and bass acts like Aphrodite. Their remixes were epic. Not sure how they could leave Mickey Finn and Aphrodite out of this documentary. They worked with Barrington Levy, Method Man, Redman, Rah Digga, and so many other classic MC’s. Leaving out Afrika Bambaata seems criminal as well. Overall this was still fun to watch. I’ve never seen any truly accurate, all inclusive history of the club and rave scene.
@idris. How can you not mention Belgian house?! They were sooo influential all those years. So many good tracks and labels. New beat, house, R&S records, Bonzai et cetera. How can you guys have missed this?? I love this doc but you’re missing out a huge and amazing scene. Just my opinion and I’m from Amsterdam 😅😀😀
Indeed, uk had illegal raves at the end of the 80s. Belgian had a clubscene playing 100% electronic music at that time. DJ'ing and discobars also originated from Belgium. Even German clubs weren't playing electronic music all night at that time. UK seriously overrate themselves... IMO belgium - chicago - detroit were the very first pioneers. Electronic music was mainly introduced in Ibiza by the parisian resident dj of Mirano club (Brussels, Belgium). Oakenfold and Tong just copied all those influences and made money of it. The real pioneers left behind with no money.
This is a GOATed House Documentary. Amongst the many legends recognized here, a clip of DJ Pierre helped me discover this conversation. What a treasure to have a film like this.

Simon Wilcox Did you miss those African rhythms
Woww...it makes me smile to see how Chicago music made the world came together.
I’m 30. But when I was in my early twenties.
I remember leaving pacha in nyc Sunday morning, suns shining, my glasses on and my heart still beating to the music, while walking past normal people enjoying their Sunday.
This one time we took the train back to jersey. My buddy had to go straight to work and he forgot his boots. He had this Sunday best shoes on and he calls me and I’m showering in cold water at 8am and screaming out the shower window and I kept moving my feet in the shower because I couldn’t come down.
That’s excstasy
I have learned some new facts.... This is interesting and very good . This should be taught in school, as part of history ......I miss the 80's.......
I enjoyed House music in the UK, but Club Shelter in New York is where I loved to dance. My gay cuz he would take me there a lot. 12am to 12 noon,crazy hours.
Just dance until u swet !
Bliss !
That sounds amazing!
The rave scene was inspired by Chicago. People tried to copy what they were hearing the clubs at home but the parties were so big they had to take place in abandoned warehouses.
Dubside Productions stamp of approval!! People don’t realize it a group of British entrepreneurs started a record shop in Chicago were given the best education on the local scene of this city spread that understanding back to London.
@@1powerequalsgod Yep, House was born in Chicago. Techno was born in Detroit. In the US though, these genres just came and went out of fashion as if they were nothing. It was Europeans who learned about it and decided to transform it into a whole new culture and create numerous new subgenres. If I had to pick, I'd pick British Acid House over Chicago's. I'd pick Berlin's Techno scene over Detroit's.
Absolutely, Chicago House and Detroit Techno. But UK club djs took it worldwide.
A PLAYLIST OF ALL THE TRACKS USED IN THIS DOCUMENTARY WOULD BE JUST GREAT!
At 20:50 is when my life changed. House Music changed my life forever. :) I was living in Chicago and got to ride that wave.
This should be titled: How Clubbing Changed the UK. Where's the wonderful Techno culture of Berlin? What about the marvelous Trance period? Hardcore in the Netherlands? Italo Dance and Euro Dance in the early 2000????
The song that changed me forever was Acid Trax (1987), and I'm only a teenager.
Tristan Sanchez i hear you. i have been listening to Electronic Dance Music for 25 years, and only within the last 3 months, I've fallen head over heels in love with Acid House. it's life changing.
For me it's Acid Thunder by Fast Eddie.
I wish more people in this generation would listen to acid house without judging the sound. So sad what history has done to our society.
I remember discovering Drum & Bass and Jungle music back when I was 11. I've ALWAYS been a huge fan of dance music.
Last year then
Every night the DJ saved our life!
(since 1988 personally)
Top documentary, this is awesome.
Sounds good even in 360p
God Bless You, Mr. Elba !! R.I.P., "Godfather of House", Frankie Knuckles !! R.I.P., Mr. Keith "The Prodigy" Flint !!! #HowCLUBBINGChangedTheWorld

Disco and Dance music has always been uptempo R&B and Soul.....with a hit or two of Gospel. Also, disco and dance music make you want yo dance and respectively, and hands down.....black people know to get down!!!!
I love hearing the history so much. It's also very amazing, how it was so impactful, that with in the lifetime of the creators, everything changed ☺️

Rip frankie knucles!!!!
Even Australia and New Zealand hve made their mark on electronic music. Particularly DnB. EDM is truly global and that's what's so good about it.
Melbourne, Australia had one of the most brilliant outstanding dance/club/party/bush doof scenes on the planet in the early 2000's. I traveled/ done the awes dance party world over half my life; Melbourne shuffle/ clubbing culture is still the best I've experienced anywhere EVER So much love to my world wide clubbing brothers and sisters, the dancefloor makes us all family, xXx
I saw Paul Oakenfold in 2000 at Pacha. He was a phenom. It was weird tho, I'm not sure the crowd 'got it' because the floor was not packed.

It all starts with the Loft. The fact that they didn't go into it further is disappointing. R.I.P. David Mancuso ❤
This is,the Coachella starter kit Pump up the Volume is the real history.
Idk if I agree (just started watching ;) but 100% laughing because I know what you mean;)
Chicago's house music started it all.👍
Indeed Chicago, Detroit & Belgium only place with 100% electronic music in clubs since 80s. Even in Germany not many clubs playing 100% electronic in the late 80s. UK had illegal raves by the end of the 80s (and Hacienda).
Yeah electronic and clubbing was absolutely the US Europe just modernized and perfected it.
Yeah pretty cringey when he said biggest British export.
*Disco has entered the chat*
@@kristenmlondonit can be imported then exported, look at Italian food with tomatoes
I always wonder how the KLF get left out of these things. The really long House Music doc actually got around to The Orb and Ambient House, but thinking about hearing What Time Is Love in a club still gives me chills.
Absolutely, it's on my great RAVE90 tape I recorded when I was on holiday in London. The pirate stations played the best sounds, I recorded like 20 Cassettes in 1 week and made that 1 tape out of it. It still got a lot of great songs I never heard again. And What time is love? is the first song on Side B. Kick out the jams motherfuckers!
And they wrote the manual so others could follow them.

I literally felt David's love for the music emote through the screen 🕉️
@1:26:43 “I got a feeling” was absolutely unstoppable that summer🤘🏽
This was one of the hottest house tracks of it's time. (A Guy Called Gerald - Voodoo Ray) I still have my original 12"... @ 36:57
In spring 1989, during my senior year of high school, I went to my first club. I walked in the Tunnel NYC and Voodoo Ray playing; I felt like a king.

house music contains every sort of electronic music from noize/splintercore to ambient so this statement is bullshit
fuck guetta!
This is such a great documentary. I can't believe Madeon was mentioned in it. He's amazing!!!
I was watching this.. up until Guetta came on... couldn't watch anymore once i saw his face.
Funny how a summer hit - GET READY FOR THIS - has now nestled itself into a winter anthem - hockey specifically. Can still be heard at your local hockey rink as a crowd hype track.

I think if one becomes more loving u can reach a state of one-ness !
Even Bless ! with no drugs at all, I know I've done it many times !
Good times...Idris was the best choice possible to pull off this script ;)
This was so dope! thank you!
RAVE ON!!!! NO FACE!!!! JUST ENERGY!!!!
@SuperBozzthis is music.. no case for the face...
Too many chronological issues with this doc! It's VERY... all over the place! I wanted to remember my happy days as a clubkid from the U.S. who had just moved to England circa '89-'94 . This did no justice to those amazing experiences
So much other history is missing regarding the dance music scene on the West coast such as L.A. and Miami, Florida that developed in the 1980’s.
You think of Miami Bass and so on?
The track at 14:45 is Nightwriters - Let the Music Take You (on Frankie Knuckles Defected House Masters disc, remastered)
Soul Train" got its start on station WCIU in Chicago, in 1970

"In the church of dance"
People hugging each other’s. Xspecially strangers
CUTTING SHAPES :D!
Great stuff!
I'm an electronic music fan since im 16 and its been 22 years now. It all started by buying all Kraftwerk, Jean-Michel Jarre, Vangelis LP-s in 1998. Putting David Guetta into this 90 minutes video after 10 minutes is a bit harsh, let alone it doesn't even keeps the chronological order. This is the reason I can't give credibility for this video and I disliked it, as a matter of fact putting David Guetta type hit-producers onto the same page where Kraftwerk and the acid house can be found is simply outrageous.
really nice information
Thank you!
those key stabs in strings of life...
So modal!
Disappointed they didn't mention the likes of Sasha & Digweed and the whole Progressive Trance movement.
Great documentary, although i thought i was watching Pulp Fiction with the all the back and forth. Didn't make sense and so much is missing but interesting all the same
when it got too big, mainstream and the music industry stole it from the people and wrung it out ruthlessly to make much money as possible with it. the edm tracks from today, they are a caricature and a persiflage from itself trying hardly to copy the brilliance of the legendary classic tracks! most of the recent edm producers making sloppy test-tube music without any creativity, innovation and talent.its a sign of the times and a shame....
Fabulous!
I wanna move to Europe!!!
Akinkunmi Cook what are you waiting for fulfill your dreams
Beautiful, thanks for the upload!
5 mins in his overview of disco and ignoring northern soul then interviewing pete waterman 😂
guetta should not even be included in this...
nothing hes done has been what i would call pivotal...
But he was the status quo then.
Nor Jimmy Saville ...
Yes yes yes yes yes...you're so right. And i am so sure for that, that he is even bad in bed....when he is like his music...muahahahahaha....horrible
Guetta started in house music in France and ibiza booking david morales and other founders.
You're clearly new to dance music. Look to the history & you'll retract your statement.
friggin (I love the amoudis) old is gold
first english house record was mike pickering n co with t coy carino
I need this in fucking HD
It's a shame that people that attend the clubs and festivals these days are only interested in just standing there holding a phone in the air or waving a flag in the air. Sadly in terms of dancing, things have taken a back seat since the evolvement of telephones with camera's. Camera's were rarely seen back in 88-94 and I am grateful that I was part of the Acid House and Rave scene back then......brilliant times and I've no shame in admitting I necked a load of E's back then.
Idk sir. I think in the future I’d be upset if I didn’t take as many videos as I have. When I’m older it will be nice to look back. We truly have given a back seat to dancing in its purest form. But that doesn’t mean the crowd is enjoying themselves any less.
No mention of Love Parade and Tressor? Not even a mention of 808 State?
5:00 Insightful.
damn. if only the video quality was HD.
11 mins in i take it all back 🙈
Wish this was available in England
34:08 best part of the documentary
I'm very surprised that German scene and influences weren't even mentioned.
They were. They talked about Kraftwerk.
You're right. I guess I expected more Kraftwerk and less Black Eyed Peas. :)
One of the best accidents in my life was Kraftwerk. Just amazing music they make. :)
Yeah, like SNAP!
This came out in 2012 and the best quality we have is 360P? lol
Fantastic times!
Thx!!!!!!
Take a break. Put "strings of life" on as loud as you can. Then come back.
Obviously the British club scene has been pivotal, but this doc completely ignores club music from any other country other than the US
True. Black Box from Italy is one of my favorites from back in the day. French house blew up too.
yeah. No mention of Kraftwerk and West German output
@@Mauri-jb9up I grew up in Chicago around the start of house and can confirm everybody had a copy of Computer World.
How come all these "documentaries" all seem to almost BLATANTLY ignore the Florida scene starting from late eighties and growing into their, OUR, own style: Florida Breaks.... The doc by Idris Elvis makes such a big deal about remixes centering on a focal point being a '98 Tori Amos remix, when Rabbit in the Moon, a groundbreaking group from Florida that brought performance to the music, did that with one of her tracks in '92 called Out of Body Experience, one of the most sought after singles of the entire decade! Followed thereafter by Remixes & Remasters Vol 1 and 2... The doc Pump Up The Volume does the same thing.... Recognize Florida, pinheads!!! We brought Chemical Brothers, in turn the "big and glorious UK house" back to America from where it started..! Recognize!!! Also DJ Icey (booked Chemical Brothers first US gig), Baby Anne (groundbreaking female DJ ahead of her time), Rick West...I could name a hundred, those are just a few.. where's the recognition?!? Anyone??
Lebby Leb you are absolutely right my friend and there are a lot of British UK citizens expatriate in Florida as a matter of fact the expatriates consider Florida their southern colony of the crown LOL as a matter of fact since many British citizens live in the Caribbean especially in Bermuda that influence is widely felt
Because Florida is a shithole
@@Menstral you didn't recall correctly. Try again
At the same time FL Breaks DJ’s like Icey and Baby Anne were dominating US clubs and raves, Garage was massive in the UK. Ironically UK Garage was totally absent from club culture in the US at the same time. The closest thing we had was speed garage, then 2 step, but neither were massive like garage was in the UK. I remember taking some DJ Icey bangers to play in a house and breaks set in London, and people were feeling it, but looking like it was kind of foreign (this was in like ‘99). As soon as I mixed in some “Garage” from my brother’s collection, that’s when the dance floor exploded.
I feel like if you’re going to make a documentary on clubbing tho, you can’t ignore the influence of 80’s Freestyle, the Latin and B-Boy influences coming out of New York and Miami, which led to the breakbeat genre’s evolution and it’s integration into the house music scene, and EDM in general. Even Hip Hop was influenced by the breaks coming out of FL clubs. You can’t leave out 2 Live Crew when talking about FL, breaks, and clubbing, they were pioneers and inspirational to the whole ghetto tech/ Booty House genre, which was HUGE for many years. Of course most of that came from Chicago, but FL paved the way for people like DJ Funk and Godfather to put out records entirely about tits, ass and f*cking. Lmao I saw 2 Live Crew play a rave in Cleveland back in ‘98, and they had booty dancers that literally started having sex with random ppl on the dancefloor. It was wild. Moby and 2 Live Crew at the same event.
There’s also been a ton of hip hop influence in the club scene, especially with drum and bass acts like Aphrodite. Their remixes were epic. Not sure how they could leave Mickey Finn and Aphrodite out of this documentary. They worked with Barrington Levy, Method Man, Redman, Rah Digga, and so many other classic MC’s.
Leaving out Afrika Bambaata seems criminal as well. Overall this was still fun to watch. I’ve never seen any truly accurate, all inclusive history of the club and rave scene.
How do you get from Northern Soul to David G in one breath. Really?
funny seeing him beside a young mike pickering tho!
Ken knows whats crackin 😃
@idris. How can you not mention Belgian house?! They were sooo influential all those years. So many good tracks and labels. New beat, house, R&S records, Bonzai et cetera. How can you guys have missed this?? I love this doc but you’re missing out a huge and amazing scene. Just my opinion and I’m from Amsterdam 😅😀😀
Indeed, uk had illegal raves at the end of the 80s. Belgian had a clubscene playing 100% electronic music at that time. DJ'ing and discobars also originated from Belgium. Even German clubs weren't playing electronic music all night at that time. UK seriously overrate themselves... IMO belgium - chicago - detroit were the very first pioneers. Electronic music was mainly introduced in Ibiza by the parisian resident dj of Mirano club (Brussels, Belgium). Oakenfold and Tong just copied all those influences and made money of it. The real pioneers left behind with no money.
I totally agree about the heritage of belgian electronic pioneers.
Way before house, acid and techno : Telex - Moskow Diskow (1979, Belgium)
very interesting
Not underground enough for me...
How old is this documentary? At least ten years
I would argue that Brian Eno created "chillout" music, but then again he made his ambient stuff in a totally different context. oh well symantics.
damn, stringer bell can do an amazing impression of a british accent
damn he is an excellent narrator.
And dj, actor, kickboxer, racecar driver, etc…
Lovely! :D
