Parts of this amuse me because in the 80s here in Chicago house music is what we were dancing to, and serious dancers were everywhere. You didn’t go to the clubs to be beautiful you went to dance hardcore

It's annoying how every UK documentary, just ignores other European influences such as German, Belgian and Dutch scenes Didn't even mention Berlins love parade 😂 This docu. Is like cheese full of holes

47:24 this is the part you're watching this for.

It's so refreshing to hear the Police Chief say the MUSIC WAS WONDERFUL!!

Can't believe I'm just now discovering this!! Amazing!! So many memories of the music that has been there throughout my entire life!

It doesn't start well. Right in the intro, this being a British program, Elba says that "clubbing is the most significant British cultural export". Except that those who started the British club scene, namely absolute geniuses like Tony Wilson and Rob Gretton, always freely stated that they had imported it from Detroit and New York.

I NEVER knew Techno was from Detroit I always assumed it was us in Europe started that, I knew house was from Chicago American. AMAZING, USA has started so many music genres. Blessings from London.

Watching this made my night, day. Weekend accomplished. House music all life long!

That was amazing , thanks so much!

This is a great documentary.

Wow thats the best i have ever seen...grew up to half the music featured....as i was very into the music and scene in the 90s.....very well done thank u😍😁

🎡😷🎡 EXCELLENT, so weird hearing him wif full on British accent he really nailed the Baltimore one. Such a great actor/ Renaissance man.

Thank you, Mr. Elba, for getting the history pretty right. Cheers from a Chicago/Detroit boy.

Goldie - Inner city life changed my life in the 90's along with Roni size, hence the name ;)

BIG THANKS FOR VID BRO !!!!! :))))

So happy to be living in a time dance music is everywhere, thank god for dance music

I was there in the UK fresh from my home town of Chicago. What a scene. Still happening! Could have done without seeing Jimmy Saville. He's as creepy as they come, then and now.

A Spot On Documentary I d say!❤

Great documentary!

Idris Elba being an amazing actor brought me here

Awesome documentary classic

I fucking love Marshall Jefferson

Re-edited version without Savile coming soon

Awesome 🙌🏻 🎉

I’ve learned so much from this documentary. I assumed that europe invited most of the EDM. I love that my people created it, And the UK cultivated it.

36:58 A Called Gerald. I've had a CD from that guy from I think I bought it for maybe $5 CAD, not ever knowing who he was, but loving the sound... until this moment.

amazing!

Idris Elba is the MAN! For doing this documentary.

Is this how I learned about Elba's obsession with clubbin?

7:16 🔥maurice this is acid 🔥

Amazing watch

Very Educating on the history of clubbing..... Idris!!!

This is the best documentary I've watched in a long time, not documentary, actually, history and collection of electronic music coming out of the counter-hegmonic and into the mainstream, but truly into our hearts!

Great show and was nice to watch, just seeing it now. I do not necessarily agree that with the whole US to UK back to US thing. Here in the US, techno and house was taking off in the early 90's and we had our own warehouse party scene. We also had super clubs in the 90's. I was big into the DC/Baltimore dance scene in the early 90's with clubs like Buzz & Fever and festivals after the warehouse parties started to get busted too early. It was always there, just not mainstream. Very nice show and loved that New Order was mentioned a couple of times.

Boston Had a House music movement early 90’s

Love's Theme by Barry White, Trans Euro Express by Kraftwerk, Move Your Body by Marshall Jefferson , Can You Feel It by Mister Fingers and Good Life by Inner City are 5 of the best songs, ever. Peace to King Tuby and Dub music. Peace to Frankie Knuckles Cool Documentary.

I don't know if the UK can reclaim to create a clubbing I think it was something that happened in a few global cities all at the same time FYI it started with the discotheque movement at the end of the 60s into the 70s. And their Paris was the center then moving on to New York of course with the opening of studio 54 which truly was a global phenomenon. I can agree that the UK single-handedly created the rave culture. I remember when it was important to hear to New York and they started having the first raves in closed factories in Astoria Queen.

I hate to admit it but I couldn't stand any of this music at the time, I'm so thankful to have the opportunity to fall in love with it now 30 years later.

My sister sang backing on number 15 Labour Party anthem Things Can Only Get better

Chicago and NY!

Thanks for sharing ! Such a good and insightful documentary 🫶🏼

I needed this today! So good

The sudden leap from Northern Soul to Gretna is really odd ..

gets good around 40 min in. Though I am not sure all of these spots are what I would call "pivotal moments" in club history they do touch on some great points.

Very cool Dokumentation, 1990 i Have started to listen to this

In chicago it was and is clubs a bit less now. From the Green Mill jazz club to the gay bathhouses this is where two kinds of music grew up. Three, jazz blues and techno, or house. We didnt call it anything just techno, then jungle came in 91 from london over new york straight to chicago. We made our own version of this too. Then the undergrand clubs filled with people from trax recording wax trax, like al jorgenson and ministry came out of my neighborhood in chicago at the same time the 80s and 90s was it here. Total creativity musically and fashion for a short time for some as some lasted forever.

GRAND ILLUSIONS AND THE VENUS, BOTH CHICAGO JUICE CLUBS IN THE EARLY 1980'S THAT PLAYED HOUSE MUSIC. THE BUZZ THEN WAS MDMA TICK OR HAPPY STICK AND PLAYING VIDEO GAMES.

*Lol no House and Techno was huge in the states* I dint know what Idris is on about

Watching this, it's a bit of a challenge to consider that Idris played the character Charles Miner in the US Office. Great actor.

What david said at the end about the uk taking something from the states and tweaking and resellinb it back to the states still holds true

Simply brilliant > Hands in the air, keep you pants on!

That was amazing, thank you, and thank you idris

I’m surprised that the sound factory, tunnel, club usa, limelight, the funhouse etc wasn’t even mentioned?

House music - it's a spiritual thing. Only got high on the music. No ecstasy needed - ever.

Yo String, where Wallace at?!?

CHICAGO IS HOME!!!!!

David, what? Can't get down after that.

20 Jazz Funk Greats?

B-b-b-b-bitch I'm Idris Elba!!!

Okay see you in Phantom Liberty

Guetta’s music is cheese.

If it wasn’t for number 9 none of us would be here

Four to the floor... House head for LIFE

I really want to like this... but it just feels disjointed and superficial. Great tracks, great heads, and everything is 'right', but it's just a bit all over the place. It touches on some pivotal moments but it just feels a little shallow; the contents don't quite match the label, either.

what's Solomon Reed doing in this video?

and LA, SF, NYC and countless other US cities don't get the credit they deserve for keeping house/techno alive through the 90s. Guetta, prodigy, and William? As if pop music mattered.

What is the song at 20:50 ? And 22:57, 23:10 Thank you !

its david g(u)etta not gwetta hahahah XD

Oh, wait, this isnt a documentary about seals? Next video.

Самая дорогая и быстрая реклама экстази 😂

23:42 🤣😂 💃

👏

PLEASE, PLEASE if anyone knows the name of the song played from 20:49-22:00 can you list it. I'd LOVE to be able to listen to it in my home.

What's the name of this song 55:21 here?

david gweta

1:03:38 track name please!!!

The most uneduceted scene in the world is in Norway.those guys have no clue how it all started..They were convicing me that techno and house were born in Iibiza..Most of them have no idea who is Juan Atkins, Kevin Sandrson, Derick May etc....the worst thing is that some of them are making living out of it...

track at 46:40 please :D anyone?

Who cares about American mainstream tastes which is mid and small town America. The West and East coast of America and large cities in between have always been in the forefront of music culture. Too much emphasize is put into mainstream pop-music in America

imo edm was/is the kid the family will always be ashamed of :D

This has great content but the packaging - poor Idris! - is a bit cringe, and it tells the story all mixed up: UK garage then M25 raves? 😂 Dance music really needs a proper documentary telling the whole history, anyone out there know one? Compared to all the stuff out there about punk and Britpop

14:50 track id?

lifelong raver.

0:10:35 Casino Club voted best disco in the world above Studio 54, yeah right. Hate me now but this video is biased and arrogant don't you think? Stealing way too much credit & glory from the NY and Chicago scene. This is just one example in the video about this. Look at that place, there aren't even any black people there! Just one. Studio 54 was black, white, straight, gay, locals, celebrities. Who the fuck are they kidding me with this. Pump Up The Volume is the best documentary on clubbing

It was going well till David Guetta. I’m out.

I like the music but this whole movement wrecked a lot of people’s lives because it was so hard to resist and then break free from the drugs.

Dude Saturday night fever was a great movie but omg was it dark , I honestly can’t believe how popular it got when the movie kids in 1995 was kind of a cult classic , and people were outraged by the film …. Lmfao

whys it always a competition between the us and britian cant we all just agree jungle and dnb are superior

rewriting history is a very bad habbit of the engliish.

So hanging out in "clubs" is what changed everything,what a laugh.Just an excuse to do a show about this,nothing more.

I don’t like this documentary. It’s very biased from the UK point of view. They should have interviewed more American originators not pricks like moby or Dave g. Commercial jokers

so cringe…just…wtf

IS IT DANCING OR JUST JUMPIMPING UP AND DOWN WHILE HIGH AND STARING AT A DJ?
