  • 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.

  • I love Derrick May's intensity on Hardy, everything else is shit :)

  • Did i mention this documentary is the BOMB!!!!!!!!!!!! 2:00 killer beats on this classic house jam!

  • you can obviously see the REAL influences of hip hop from hear.

  • Anyone know the track that comes in a 3.38?

  • @aaaaaaaidan

    'frequency 7' [dance mix] by visage

  • 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 know man! i would kill to get my hands on this remixed version of "you got the love". I need to get a hold of Farley "Jackmaster" Funk :)

  • yeee! ron!

  • Great, thanks for the upload. I noticed that in the track from Farley 'Jackmaster' Funk at 00:57 the kicking drum is taken from Spence - Get It On.

  • Interesting fact: Derrick May from 5:11 to 5:34 was sampled on Paolo Mojo, Jim Rivers and Eric Prydz hit song 'Ron Hardy Said' a couple years back.

  • 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!

  • what song is he playing at 1:36

  • 2.03 Danny Howells :)

  • 1:16 a classic :)

  • @genev47

    what song is that?

  • anybody know the name of this documentary?

  • @bryan350z

    pump up the volume: the history of house music.

  • @Weekzilopochtli

  • 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.

  • i want those times back :(

  • On 3:40.... very bad choice of song.... great song... but it's not house, it's british syth experimental music..... I think it's from an album named "Tar" or "Tor", by the band "Visage" ? I think that song was from before brittons even know what house music was from Chicago?

  • @Acadianiste - early House DJs borrowed from many sources. R&B, disco, afrobeat, Brazilian. Plus new Euro music that was emerging late 70s/ 80s. Kraftwerk, Visage & Ultravox being the obvious examples. Giorgio Moroder's fusion of European synths married to Donna Summer's vocals is the perfect fusion of genres - precisely what House music is about. Taking other sources and recontextualising them for a new audience.

    Reference a proto-House track is there for a very specific reason.

  • @bodoboi You make a good point!

  • Wow!! Thanks for this documentary! It's amazing!!!

  • what punkish song is that at 3.39? anyone?? :)

  • It's called Frequency 7 by Visage. Very typical of what Ron Hardy would just drop on us, out of the blue. Making us lose our G-d D-mn minds.LOL!

  • Yes he would I miss the those days at the Box.

  • @suslider what a wicked track!

  • It's called "Frequency 7" by the group Visage.

  • cool. thanks for that ;)

  • Frankie Goes To Hollywood - "welcome to the pleasure dome". Its a new wave classic

  • hmmn  no mention of francis grosso, David manusa, nicky Siano....

  • Mainly because all those guys have to do with Disco more than with House. They influenced Larry who then influenced Frankie.

  • What is the name of the song that gets mixed in @ 1:50 with the xylophones

  • does anyone know the name of the track thats played around 3.40

  • someone knows the track or artist name ,at 00:57 before the acappela ?

  • Comment removed

  • im glad someone does good to see someone post a comment with an ear for proper house music ?

  • scuttle69 i agree with you

  • 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

  • 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 .

  • im sorry you feel that way.. issues i think.

    its music.. m8 it's more about the influence than who good and whos bad,, underground overground, who gives a **** .

    so who are your influences,??

    peace..

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • the story of house music more like the story of bollocks i just think its a shame you had fucking idiots like paul oakenfield /armen van helden / happy mondays /leftfield etc killing the whole underground scene exploiting it just to line their pockets .

    they not true house heads just fucking nobs who think they can produce good music when infact that have enuff trouble producing a decent shit from their own arse .

    long live the godfathers who kept it underground.

  • bollox

  • Same thing happened to Hip Hop/Rap. I mean, Lil wayne and Soulja boy? You turn on your radio, you'll hear this type of crap 12000 times. Not ONCE have I heard them play ATCQ, PUTS, BlackMoon, Binary Star... So, yah, looks like its inevitable in the industries. Peace.

  • This is history Man!!! LOve IT

  • thanks.. glad you enjoyed

  • @chelskifl thanks for the documentary bra

  • Does anyone know the name of the acapella Farley Jackmaster Funk is playing starting at 1:17?

  • ID: Source - You Got The Love

  • vocals by Candi Staton. Wiki the song title, interesting story.

  • Candi Staton. So good.

  • 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.

  • glad someone put ron hardy on film in this doc and the usual suspects

  • this movie is fantastic

  • does anyone please no the name of that track which is playing when they are first talking about ron hardy and the music box

  • did you ever figure it out? i wanted to know too

  • I am dying to know what this track is too!!

  • haha! I was just thinking the same thing! Someone come with the knowledge!

  • Visage-Frequency 7

  • Thanks!

  • YEAH ... ROOTS
