To the person boasting that House music began in Chicago. Yes it fucking did and Chicago should be proud of itself for inventing it.

@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.

@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.

@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

@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"

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.

@HoseaCider Do you mean Los Ninos by Liasons Dangereuses.

[erich8571]

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.
