Pump Up The Volume - Part 2 - The History Of House Music 

House music is and will always be about bringing all types of people together to freely dance, celebrate, laugh, cry, vent, express, BE.

I was a sophomore in high school in Detroit suburbs in 88. I would escape them and find myself in the most gritty, bizarre, scary parts of Detroit. The after hours club bouncer would frisk you on the way in after paying a $10 cover. The club was called Heaven at 7 mile and woodward. The dj, Kevin Sanderson. The music, incredible. The drugs, plentiful. Pitch dark dance floor. Ridiculously loud speakers. Good times!

Hate when people just call it EDM now.

There isn't a good way to explain this to younger people-when you lived in- and through musical *_movements_* like this. I can't think of anything that exists post-1990s like we had in the 80s with new wave, punk, (hair)metal, techno, hiphop, and house. The 60s and 70s had their movements with rock and psychedelia. House was amazing. We went to work all week just to get to a Thursday or Friday or Saturday (all three) night to go to New York City clubs. To be in that scene, be amongst those people, to hear that music, and to dance. No drugs. Barely any alchol. Just people, fashion, music, and dancing. Beautiful energy.

I still have most of these in vinyl... There will never be another music period like the 80's & 90's

"Everybody coming with this damn smiley t-shirts" HAHAHA, Marshall Jefferson is hilarious

Growing up in the 90s house music was for everything birthdays graduations weddings I loved Newark house music but Chicago and New York had me moving

I was there then. Awesome times, can’t say differently. Everything was new, exciting. And I watch this excellent docu with a grin on my face all the time. We’re lucky.

I started crying half way through this. I love house music :')

house is a feeling.

A typical House Club experience was so electrifying it made the hardest knuckle head get.off the wall & move your body. I remember, if you was chosen to enter the club....it was like walking into another dimension. You seen smoke machines blow out smoke effects. You seen the party people dancing....moving all around...shoulder to shoulder....Azz to Azz. The bar was packed with thirsty dancers that needs a break off the floor, or a spot to get with that fly girl or guy of your choose. The real kick in the nuts was watching the DJ beat conduct the music with 2 record players, a mixer, & a determination to remix live with only his 2 hands. You would hear heart pounding bass lines, thumping drums over vocal adlibs, & he would extend the best part of the songs & loop it to create a whole new groove. Didn't matter straight, gay, short, tall, black, spanish, or white....everybody could get down to house music. It was a fun atmosphere. At the break of dawn when the party is about over ...your feet became sore for dancing all night. After the call of last round at the bar, all the coke was snorted in the rest rooms, & the music stops....you left out the club feeling exhausted but you can't wait to return the following weekend. Just to do it all over again.....! But only this time you brought friends to the experience. 🤔🎵🤔🎶🤔🎵🤔🎶

I grew up in Newark, New Jersey. We had our own House scene. It was different from NYC and Chicago. Mostly ALL Hip Hop headz in Newark, East Orange, Paterson and the rest of North Jersey loved House or what WE called CLUB MUSIC. The Zanzibar was one of my favorite spots among the many clubs in Newark. Biz Markie also DJ'd at a club called " CLUB AMERICA " .He played Strictly House / Club Music...... It was mostly 18, 19 and early 20s going there..but it was still bangin. But there were many other clubs in Newark alone.

Experiencing and watching the gentrification of House Music is sickening.

As a Londoner it boils my piss when they say the UK house scene started in London. Everyone knows it was an organic thing. Manchester, Sheffield,Wigan,Glasgow and the list goes on...

Love cant turn around massive tune heard it in Amnesia 86. .. My world was getting changed . Wow.

Awesome documentary!! thank you very much for uploading this masterpiece.

Could you imagine being on a couple rolls hearing this track dropped for the first time, amazing.

voodoo ray is a classic it sounds so euphoric

strings of life is one of my favorite songs

Really good to experience the beginning as that’s how it felt for me in the 90’s🇿🇦🌿🤙👌For is us it was 330 Point road Durban......

Chicago had all night parties like that I remeber being so young on a hot summer night at a party with Ron Hardy the club doors were open the music was pouring out...no one complained we danced all night til the sun was up and we went to eat...that was living!

Watched the whole thing. SIMPLY AMAZING!

Orbital changed my life, immensely for the better :)

“Hotline - Rock This House” first uk track. 1986. 1 year before T-Coy

wowsers. So from clubs TO raves then to clubs again. This puts a alot of things into perspective.

Probably my favourite episode of this documentary being a teenager in Manchester (or Madchester) when house was unleashed. Together with the indie scene, Manchester was at the epicenter of it all. Spin Inn, Manchester Underground, Eastern Bloc trying to track down what you had heard in the club, Affleck's Palace to get your clothes and Identity to get your Manchester inspired t-shirts ❤

this is such a good little series

Morgan Khan (streetsounds) mentions Huddersfield here i would like to address a unkown fact, everybody assigns the beginnings of the house scene in the Uk to shoom London and hacienda Manchester.. However., in 1985/86 the Uk soul all dayer scene is what introduced house music to the Uk and in Huddersfield we had a banging house night at videotech nightclub with the complete list of chicago and Nyc house tracks playing week in week out!!!

Oh How Wonderful!! Oh how I sometimes wish I was alive in Chicago at this time GOSH THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!! Aaaaaa

brilliant documentary :D

It all started in the best city in the world, Chicago! From house to hip house!

Wahey pt 2 tingles and rushes again!

"Part 2 of a fascinating three part documentary..." Where is part 3? The other uploads of this movie are longer but this is the best quality I've found.

From Chicago too London from London to IBIZA and the all over the World !!!

Absolutely Fantabulous

This documentary is just great

House is a feeling

What also made Strings Of Life even bigger was the fact it was intro theme of the 1st Midnight Club racing game

The part where Darryl Pandy start yelling on the record when I first heard it had me rolling laughing hard plus it was the best slamming part of the record

Pete Sanders, Sound Engineer - Music Box - Marz Bar

I"m proud to be a Manc, even though I don't live there anymore. I left for Uni, and then love

WBMX All Day!

@trosado1 yes, they also did a special video version, which was great.

DARRYL PANDY!!! R.I.P...the VOICE

@96edwysMobile "Can You Feel It" by Royal House aka Todd Terry... later stolen by The Jungle Brothers for their "I'll House You"

How can you have a history of dance music and not mention Weatherall and Primal Scream? Maybe Episode 3?

house is chicago

Iam learning music history

I wonder did they forget to mention that there's actually a connection with Chime to both of Joey Beltram's tracks Energy Flash & Jazz 303

This is my house !!!

43:24 is an impressive statement

one love, music

EPIC 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

I love this shit!

“House Music Forever “……….

Shame Belgian new beat isn't mentionned.

18:32 Track ID: Sterling Void - It's Alright (feat. Paris Brightledge) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7L7EB0wKm5I.html

mike pickering saw him at the doves gig what a legend

@AceDubsteP It is called "Acid Trax" by Phuture

EZ Posse was a great act. Too bad BBC Radio One didn’t see it that way when “Everything Starts With a E” came out.

@10.45 he says Carino T-coy was the first British house tune released in 1987 . I always thought Midnight sunrise/featuring Jackie Rawe On the House was the first British house tune 1986? Anyone thoughts?

"Phase 1: The seed is planted when opposites attract. Can you dig it? It takes the physical to create the physical. Phase 2: The flower blossoms through what seems to be a concrete surface, ie. greed, racism, insanity, physical and social handicaps. These are the things that mob the flower. Red rose or black rose; no in-between. Phase 3: The Judgement. If it were to fall upon you today, which flower would you be? The red rose or the black? This is..."

Friends, what is that first Acid track within the first three seconds

VOODOO RAY! HELL YEAH!

That song if fucking perfect.

Everything Starts with an E.......hehehe Brilliant!

I'm too young to experience the beginning but I did have the pleasure of going to the Hacienda when I turned 17. Sorry, I mean 18 😉

33:29 is a hilarious clip, you can see his brain short circuiting LOLOLL

why has part 3 been taken off?

It is a british documentary, so a lean towards the british perspective was to be expected. But it is funny how they completely ignore the influence of german artists on this development. When they started talking about detroit techno, they could have mentioned the many connections to Berlin techno and developments in Frankfurt.

Awesome documentary!

The version of 'Everything Begins With an 'E' used on this program was, I think, the Sir Frederick Leighton Mix, which I think is better than the original

Come to our House..!

39:30 music heard 4 miles away :-o

39:50.... I wish something like that would happen in my boring-ass town. Fuck it i'll call off work the entire next week.

"when you first heard this stuff, it was just blew yer bollacks off"

@sublogicrecordings man please don't tell me youtube had you take down the 3rd part of this documentary.

Shaun Ryder is fucking jokes in this. Great documentary

MAKES ME WANNA PLAY SAN ANDREAS- SFUR

I've got the book that accompanies this series

FRANKIE KNUCKLES

Anybody has a tracklist?

Some revisionism on the part of the geezer talking about Joe Smooth’s brilliant ‘Promised Land’. It was released in 1987 and failed to become a hit. The Style Council’s very different cover version was released in early 89, some 18 months after the original. It only reached number 28 in the UK charts, the Smooth original then charted in the uk (#56). Most likely on the strength of SC’s cover. Additionally SC was co-fronted by DC Lee a black woman. I’m not denying how epic the original was but his info is just wrong. Btw I think the cover is great as well, but not the equal of the original.

I'm in this part... 42:47 😀

"fuck me man, check out yer Wednesday nights, stunnin!!"

What's the name song at 18:35? I love that rhytm Music is our last foundation!

18mins.... Does anyone know the track name please.. My old memory ain't the same no more 😂

🔥🔥

whats the title of the song that starts at 9.40 min...

im lucky i got to grow up when house was flourishing in the middle of chicago. sneaking out to go clubbing at 13 with a fake ID. graffiti and house.

What is the track at the 09:40, is totally brilliant!

@longshanks1980 Did you even listen to the way he speaks?
