  • there was david mancuso playing underground dance music in new york in 1970 at the loft in new york, couple of years later (around 1972)Frankie knuckles and Larry levan playing at continental bathouse and then the soho club in new york and nicky siano at the gallery and then larry levan playing paradise garage and at the same time Frankie Knuckles took the garage sound to chicago and opened the Warehouse then came the name House. the root of house came from new york but the name House in Chicago

  • While house music did incorporate SOME disco, not all house music had a disco sound. Hell, we can say all modern black music (jazz, r & b, hip-hop, and even rock and roll) stems from the Blues which started in the south.

  • I see a lot of arguments about house starting in Chicago or New York. The concept of house started in Chicago. Although disco may have started in New York, the house culture in Chicago was more widespread. I heard house mixes in NY when I stayed there with relatives back in 86. I brought my own tapes also. None of the kids I hung with in Jamaica,Queens listened to it. Hip hop was major in NY back then. Every high school kid was house back in the 80's in Chicago.

  • This should be standard learning material on every school!

  • This brings back so many memories. Like the time we entered this contest with all these straight R&B bands in the inner city and we were into Devo, Kraftwerk and Afrika Bambatta. When we performed those people looked at us like we were insane. Looking back now I'm really proud of that moment cause we were into a music that was new and cutting edge. I loved the music then and Iove it now.

  • FOR ALL HOUSE HEADS COME CHECK OUT THE DOCUMENTARY.

    my house rocs dot com

  • It amuses me that every single topic in the comments oviously results from people who haven't watched the whole documentary 'cause literally EVERYTHING you people are discussing about comes to an explanation in this wonderful piece of film

  • Chicago! Home of House music derived from Jack and Disco, was small in America for long, mainstream America did'nt appreciate it, it was brought to Europe and became huge in Europe and South America then introduced back to the American people, and no it'e getting huge across America. Whilst the House Dj's smile and sigh with relief :D *phew* took it's time.

  • britain are the masters of house... americans dont know what they are talking about!

  • @mrswinniepinnie you shouldnt of put your two cents in you know nothing about house!

  • Comment removed

  • sound cloud dot com / mik-singh / time ...Feedback welcome!

  • Who gives a fuck where it came from or who did it first! All that really matters is that we love it. Surely that's something we can all agree on. House is a feeling!

  • House def came from Chicago, but NYC was the mecca for Disco.. House came from Disco.

  • @drrtynewyork That does not mean house and disco are the same. Would you say blues and rock and roll are the same?

  • Come on! Everyone knows House started in London at The Factory.

  • @cgdavila You're joking, right?

  • early house music is disco chopped up, nyc u started freestyle and rap many years later and did not know what 2 do with it, into u heard what CHICAGO was doing, chicago djs were blending there mixes, creating new sounds it not disco any more, i don't care what anybody says, "HOUSE MUSIC" is CHICAGO, like the apple is to nyc. HOUSE HEAD FOREVER IT'S IN MY BLOOD

  • yes but i do think that house music REALLY started in nyc underground post-disco demolition night. Y'know... loose joints, love club... "post-disco" it's almost a synonym of "proto-house".

  • @dorgasvideos You're an idiot. House music is a descendant of disco, but that does not mean they're the same. They're different. It's like saying rock and roll and blues are the same because rock and roll is a descendant of blues. House music is a Chicago creation. Period. NYC started hip-hop with help from dub sounds from Jamaica though Kool Herc. Would you say hip-hop started in Jamaica? Of course not. At least I hope you don't.

  • CHICAGO IS THE BIRTHPLACE OF HOUSE MUSIC! PERIOD!

  • What's the name of the song on the 3:00?

  • Comment removed

  • @tigranxxx It's "Spring Rain" by Silvetti on Salsoul

  • House came from chicago, but it also came from italo-disco, and italo came from straight disco, so stop saying chicago invented the wheel, they just "simplified" the wheel with the few tools they had, and some people did really nice job at it ;O).

  • I have been looking for a song I use to hear around 83' - 86' . The only thing I remember is Ingos Ningos. It was like a house music electronic rap. Anyone know this song!! It was Chicago house mixed on WBLS

  • @HoseaCider Do you mean Los Ninos by Liasons Dangereuses.

  • For me, the evolution of House, has been a continuous process of creativity, fueled by a passionate love of a sound that vibrates in the soul and has the capacity to unify people of all races, creeds, and nationalities. It is this quality, that gives House music, it's universal appeal. I must say that Larry Levan, should be acknowledged as a principle force, in the propagation of this sound. Frankie Knuckles, and many others, have all contributed. We are still gyrating, pumping, and dancing!

  • Awesome video

  • I watched this whole documentary and they spoke about some great tracks .

    I can't believe the left out " Its time for the percolator " by Cajmere . Back in the day I would go to clubs and the thugs,gangstas, and killas would be mean mugging and ice grilling everybody but when Percolator came on they would dance and jump around like nobodies business .

    Music tames the savage beast !

  • What song is at 1:36 ????

  • @Jafra5594 - ATB - 9pm till I come - It's from 1998.

  • Berlin Kraftwerk experimented and put on wax. NYC Africa Bambatta took it and gave us Electro Funk. Chicago gave us House. Detroit gave us Techno. Miami Luke' brought the Bass and lit up ATL. I have to say is Baltimore got me to like it and its kid brothers in NJ and Philadelphia keep it going. The rest of Europe just makes me go to sleep. Except for Daft Punk and Gorillas, but everybody else is zzzzzzzzzzzz.

  • @J5MARLON "The rest of Europe just makes me go to sleep. Except for Daft Punk and Gorillas, but everybody else is zzzzzzzzzzzz." They're pretty zzzzz

  • @Rushonthemove its by Atb i think

  • This IS Official, The History of House, for All+HouseHeads, and Lovers' of House+ClubCulture. Be We// 2 A// HouseHeads.

  • This kind of foolish bickering is why the American house scene is still referred to as underground. People are so selfish...oh, Chicago started house, oh, NYC birthed Garage...listen I grew up in the Bronx, had a DJ friend say "check this out" in 1982-handed me my first Trax single...and I been playing it ever since. But I grew up on soul. THAT is how you pay homage! Make a career, give thanks to the pioneers and keep it moving. The Brits and Euro DJs cashed in years ago...grow up already!

  • Studio 54 + Paradise Garage = NYC (That's where it all started).

    Disco + Higher RPM = House.

    If your a Chicago Cat be happy with the Navy Pier and move on with your life.

  • I don't mean to be a homer but without the Belleville 3 in Detroit this offshoot of "techno" would never have existed. Listen to cybotrons clear circa 1984...

  • Comment removed

  • @joctheviper1 well lets go back a few years prior to 1984 and check out: kraftwerk - home computer (paris live 1981)... do you see any similiarities at all?

    i'd have to say that without kraftwerk, it is unlikely the belleville 3 (or detroit 'techno') would of existed.

  • chicago/detroit's true genius lay in there pioneering of disco, which traveled across the globe. The new sound that came next (electro) originated with europeans. the success of disco allowed chicago to incorporate this new electro beat onto it own and thus take the lion share of credit for its developement. but any fool can search the archives to discover that electro's developement preceded chicago/detroit's claim on the genre.

  • All hail kraftwerk, the true pioneers of the electro revolution, the year zero of the new musical genre. everything else is imitation dressed up as innovation. the source is located in europe and the genius came from the EUROPEAN. our african american brothers listened to this new sound and then directly imitated it as in the case of detroit (techno) or grafted it to the disco sound as in chicago (acidhouse) either way - detroit/chicago pioneered jackshit regarding this new musical direction.

  • I'm from Poland and I love House music and house dance. Spread love, share part of your soul to peoples in battle circle <3

  • To that jackass talikin bout bout people just redoin disco tracks and rehookin em up. He is just hatin that he didnt do it himself, and that isnt the case with alot of tracks so please dude zipp it. And find something else to hate on. He dont live in the city does he. Not Chi-town anyways...

  • ATB !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I was born in January of 1978! Woot woot!

  • @ Everyone: This doc goes in the proper order of the dance music movement. The Dance music culture started in NY in spots like The Loft(late 60s)Better Days, Continental Baths then The Paradise Garage. NY had a BIG part in formulating House. The term was derived in Chicago based on Disco tracks Frankie(from NY)played in the Warehouse. In NY we called it club music or Garage music with reedits in the post disco era between 80-85. The Chi added the drum machine where house took on a new meaning.

  • SHIT DOCUMENTARY.. WHY THEY ONLY PLAY POP MUSIC?? this is so fuccking ridiculous........... it should have been UNDERGROUND house music tha'ts what is all about.... house music is good cau'se its good, not because it hit the charts

  • Comment removed

  • @everybody: if one is truly proud of their music, they will be happy to see the whole world embrace it and will not demand recognition. we're talking about music here, not reputation. style is a gift to humanity, not a piece of intellectual property. it has been made to be appreciated by others, and perhaps to ease the composer's soul. what good is it if no one is free to appreciate it? what about the first person who ever made music? do you think they're shaking their fist? house is about love.

  • Comment removed

  • I didn't realise how bad that Madonna track was. The rest of the documentary is great, far better than I thought it was going to be.

  • Brilliant!

  • Checking you out later.

  • DAAAAFT PUNKKK !!!!!!!!

  • track name on 4:44

  • @kapadokialand - Rose Royce Is it love your after

  • so cool

  • What did you guys think of the book Last Night a DJ Saved My Life?

  • This film is good but not the whole truth..Larry Levan and frankie knukles or New York had nothing to do with House Music....Farley Jackmaster funk, hot mix 5, jesse saunders, mike dunn, Adonis, Larry heard, jaime pricinple and Marshall jeffeson are the GodFathers of house...

  • @coolteen96 you say Frankie had nothing to do with house music..

    you are so wrong there.. Farly Keith, Ron Hardy, Frankie Knuckles, Steve Hearly, Marshall etc..

    Mike dunn started around 85, when house was already there..

    jesse saunders started around 84..

    and well knuckles started in 77, left the warehouse in 82 and house was big already..

    it really were Frankie & Ron who "created" house then they passed it on to Hot Mix 5.

  • @djbassflow Correct, I was an original HOUSE KID in Chicago with true hostory before it hit the clubs...We had House Parties before the club scene and then it exploded!!!!!! AMAZING people don't know...Well done friend!!

  • Comment removed

  • @KristopherBLloyd - OOPS excuse the typo! I meant "HISTORY" before it hit the clubs......

  • @djbassflow frankie knuckles was actually playing with larry levan at the continental baths in new york in 1972 and then on to soho club.....David Mancuso had the Loft in 1970, but actually started doing underground dance parties in the late 60's, lets not forget nick siano too at the gallery new york. frankie left new york and took the garage sound to chicago and opened the warehouse in about 77

  • @djkevinmills What's up with New Yorkers wanting to claim this? We have hip-hop. Seriously, get over it. House music is a Chicago creation. Did you know hip-hop has elements of Jamaican toasting thanks to Kool Herc? Are you going to say hip-hop came from Jamaica? Give me a break.

  • @coolteen96

    Please.. to say Frankie Knuckels had nothing to do with the early House music, is like saying the Pope is an atheist...

  • @svandamme76 I agree there!!! But to call Knuckles godfather of house is not the whole truth. Ron Hardy kicked ass in Muzik Box like a freak and he pitched up his tracks +8 to +10%. At that time, Frankie played his tracks really slowly at the warehouse. But Ron kicked ass with his sick 72 hours sets in Muzik Box, which inspired Frankie to pitch up more and more. And we should not forget about Levan, who kicked ass in "the Loft",but this wassent "called" house,it was still Disco. House=Chicago:-)

  • Comment removed

  • @deniskneifeld the warehouse turned into the muzik box and ron hardy took it over AFTER frankie,David Mancuso opened and did the Loft(n.Y) in 1970, frankie knuckles and larry levan played together at continental baths(NY)1972 and a few years later at soho club(NY) then levan did paradise Garage after that and frankie took the "garage" sound to chicago opened the warehouse and the name HOUSE came from that. In new york all the way back to the Loft, they actually called that sound "Garage"

  • Fuck off Madonna what the fuck do know about house music

  • Madonna? SHE often was in Paradise Garage getting her/our RELIGION on! WHERE WERE U? AND she helped BRING HOUSE TO kids all over the world. So lets try that question again, what do YOU KNOW about House?

  • Comment removed

  • @BadBalenax more than u but u would'nt know that

  • Forget house, cast offs of the UK Rave seen.

  • chicago is addicted to house...hopefully juke music makes the same impact in the world

  • as a chicagoan i say juke is garbage

  • ...john travolta "showed everyone" how to do the hustle ??? PU-LEEEZE.... i guess they never went to Better Days or the Garage.....THOSE kids did the hustle...

  • what they meant is that disco was underground, barely any people knew about it and that movie brought it to light, which in my opinion caused the death of disco

  • Did you guys hear that....? 15yrs later..IT DOMINATES POP MUSIC....thats rite....HOUSE MUSIC BABY!

  • i love the music...hate the drugs!

    real people can dance through the night without that shit!

    realness starts with decisions that u make!

    love levan

    love garage

  • @tindje where u from? larry was the 1st one lit up , spike the punch take a sip, ur done.

  • Ain't that the truth.

  • Man, youre so narrow minded.

    Everything from Rock to Techno, House and whatever was made under drugs..

    Denying Drugs is denying house, cuz without e, cocain and mdma and stuff, house would never been created, and loved by so much people (at the begininng).

    Innovation in terms of music can be added when people feel different things while they are opened to it.

    Drugs permits music development. And drugs is just an stronger alcohol. It eases emotions and openess to the world around you.

  • WHERE DID U GET THAT INFO? TRUST ME. ALOT of HOUSE MUSIC producers are/were CLEAN and without any drugs...AND MAKING DOPE TRACKS... how do I KNOW?

    I'm one of em. AND TILL today REFUSE to even TRY many drugs...ITS NOT ABOUT THAT.

  • allso check out old school house music from new jersey

  • House began in Chicago, 9 times out of ten yall got it from us. And its cool just reconize it. HOUSE CAME FROM CHICAGO.

  • CHI TOWN !

  • @TerrorTown7575 Respect to that. Just as long as you realize that almost everyone of the Chicago house pioneers have stated that house music doesn't belong to just one specific area or region, it belongs to EVERYONE, and many people from around the globe have had there hand in forging house music. Everyone knows where house music originated. We all know that. You need to realize this.

  • @Christiantodd1 u know Christian I realize that everyone has contributed to house. I would like for Chicago to get the credit it deserves in the states for creating this amazing music.

  • @TerrorTown7575 I hear what you're saying man, and I understand it. I'm just a little confused why you feel Chicago isn't recognized enough. I'm from the south, and I have never heard a househead not give credit or acknowledge Chicago. It's kinda like loving jazz music, but not recognizing New Orleans.

  • @TerrorTown7575 Yeah that's true, but the house-music nowadays is more than just the sound of Chicago.

  • @TerrorTown7575

    Get an education young man. I'm not even going to argue with someone who is so misled. Ask Frankie Knuckles (who started the house movement in

    Chicago) where house music began. Who turned him out, who was his mentor before he went to Chicago Watch the videos on YOUTube yourself..I rest my case.

  • @TerrorTown7575 Dude, everyone knows that House came from Chicago. Will you just remember that ALL American popular music is derived from the slave spirituals our ancestors sang shortly after arriving on the shores of the U.S.A.

  • @MrShakbo That is not true. A lot music derives from jamaican folk songs actually.

  • @TerrorTown7575 so what?

  • what's the piano break track?

  • do you mean frankie knuckles - your love right at the beginning ?

  • no it's the piano in the middle used in the coco steel and lovebomb track "summer rain" I think it's the original disco track that coco sampled. I'd love to know what track it is. such a great and classic piano stab

  • Anyone see this on Channel 4 years ago, still trying to find out the intro track before the documentary started.

  • ma nn esiste una versione in italiano di questo documentario??

  • oldskool baby

  • I saw this new one Dj, he is just incredible and gives everyday new hot house music mixes !! I think he will easily replace all those weak ass Dj (like David Guetta, Bob Sinclar, Roger Sanchez, Martin Solveig) because he got mad skills!!

    Go see on Google ANDREAS VAN MELDA on djpod podcast !!

    And enjoy

  • a spiritual thang

  • Boris!!!!!!!!

  • armand van helden °__°

  • DAFT PUNK !!!!!

  • I think by 'everyone' he means the average joe trend followers who briefly jumped on disco after it was commercialised - many of whom turned up at 'disco sucks' to burn their records.

  • this made house better!

  • 4.00...Travolta showed everyone how to do the hustle??? Obviously they weren't around the black gay clubs before Sat. Night Fever came out. NOBODY could "hustle" like the kids at Catacombs or the Garage or Zanzibar (my experience...I'm sure there were many others)............

  • Track that starts at 3:00 min mark!??
