This is a GOATed House Documentary. Amongst the many legends recognized here, a clip of DJ Pierre helped me discover this conversation. What a treasure to have a film like this.

Dear Britain, You're welcome. Sincerely, Detroit/Chicago

This should be titled: How Clubbing Changed the UK. Where's the wonderful Techno culture of Berlin? What about the marvelous Trance period? Hardcore in the Netherlands? Italo Dance and Euro Dance in the early 2000????

I enjoyed House music in the UK, but Club Shelter in New York is where I loved to dance. My gay cuz he would take me there a lot. 12am to 12 noon,crazy hours. Just dance until u swet ! Bliss !

Top documentary, this is awesome.

Woww...it makes me smile to see how Chicago music made the world came together.

I’m 30. But when I was in my early twenties. I remember leaving pacha in nyc Sunday morning, suns shining, my glasses on and my heart still beating to the music, while walking past normal people enjoying their Sunday. This one time we took the train back to jersey. My buddy had to go straight to work and he forgot his boots. He had this Sunday best shoes on and he calls me and I’m showering in cold water at 8am and screaming out the shower window and I kept moving my feet in the shower because I couldn’t come down.

I have learned some new facts.... This is interesting and very good . This should be taught in school, as part of history ......I miss the 80's.......

Yes to the Yes, Soulful House in 2021,,,,

The rave scene was inspired by Chicago. People tried to copy what they were hearing the clubs at home but the parties were so big they had to take place in abandoned warehouses.

Sorry, but first super club was the Boccaccio Live who opened his doors in 1985 and could officially earn 4000 peoples. Peoples came from the whole world to discover the unique atmosphere of that club. It isn't a hazard that the biggest & most beautiful Electronic Music festival take place in Belgium.

At 20:50 is when my life changed. House Music changed my life forever. :) I was living in Chicago and got to ride that wave.

Disco and Dance music has always been uptempo R&B and Soul.....with a hit or two of Gospel. Also, disco and dance music make you want yo dance and respectively, and hands down.....black people know to get down!!!!

God Bless You, Mr. Elba !! R.I.P., "Godfather of House", Frankie Knuckles !! R.I.P., Mr. Keith "The Prodigy" Flint !!! #HowCLUBBINGChangedTheWorld

Rip frankie knucles!!!!

A PLAYLIST OF ALL THE TRACKS USED IN THIS DOCUMENTARY WOULD BE JUST GREAT!

Thank you for uploading this!

I remember discovering Drum & Bass and Jungle music back when I was 11. I've ALWAYS been a huge fan of dance music.

Chicago's magnetism proved especially powerful for musicians from New Orleans and the Mississippi Delta. Bountiful club work and, beginning in 1923, the possibility of making records, which did not exist in the Crescent City, proved irresistible. From 1917 to 1922, King Oliver's Creole Jazz Band, which performed at the Royal Gardens Café

Sounds good even in 360p

Every night the DJ saved our life! (since 1988 personally)

Chicago's house music started it all.👍

The song that changed me forever was Acid Trax (1987), and I'm only a teenager.

I love hearing the history so much. It's also very amazing, how it was so impactful, that with in the lifetime of the creators, everything changed ☺️

Chase & Status and MDMA on number one this is perfect

I saw Paul Oakenfold in 2000 at Pacha. He was a phenom. It was weird tho, I'm not sure the crowd 'got it' because the floor was not packed. I think the audience at Pacha were more sophisticated, more European as opposed to Brits, a localish Ballearic crowd. Maybe they had no yet warmed up to Oakey's sound? All I know is there was a large crowd of beautiful people in the club who spent little time on the dance floor. Enough that it was noticeable. Those of us who sweated through every track on the emptyish floor got a treat. I spent the entire time grinning ear to ear and 'dancing' or my awful attempt at it, below the decks. When Oakey dropped Pearl Jam's 'Elderly Woman behind the Counter in a Small Town', I'm not sure if he was giving us a break or being ironic. To me it cemented my love for Oakey and that night will never be forgotten. The next night, or the night before, we were at El Divino for Paul Johnson. We had two big nights at the superclubs as well, the most memorable was Manumission at Privilege. Awe inspiring, a life changing experience. That week, wow.

If you make a complete track list for this, you're my hero

It all starts with the Loft. The fact that they didn't go into it further is disappointing. R.I.P. David Mancuso ❤

This is,the Coachella starter kit Pump up the Volume is the real history.

Even Australia and New Zealand hve made their mark on electronic music. Particularly DnB. EDM is truly global and that's what's so good about it.

Well made documentary, I enjoyed it. But no mention of Juan Atkins, come on!?

Basically, I tried to play every music from every country, every style, of every time - DJ Alfredo

This was one of the hottest house tracks of it's time. (A Guy Called Gerald - Voodoo Ray) I still have my original 12"... @ 36:57

I was watching this.. up until Guetta came on... couldn't watch anymore once i saw his face.

Yet! The corporate music industry has sucked the life and art of what it meant and its message. I pray for the day that it return to it's underground analog turntablist roots. From the 1970's - mid 2000's is where it grew and peaked. And i hope that the internet and along with its sites like "Bandcamp" and others alike that help independent artists, producers and DJ's that can help bring it back.

I need this in fucking HD

I always wonder how the KLF get left out of these things. The really long House Music doc actually got around to The Orb and Ambient House, but thinking about hearing What Time Is Love in a club still gives me chills.

@1:26:43 “I got a feeling” was absolutely unstoppable that summer🤘🏽

I literally felt David's love for the music emote through the screen 🕉️

Most amazing quote I've ever heard from Google Images: Guns don't kill people. Acid does.

To everyone complaining about Guetta & Harris's credibalities, they're crediting their success in bringing dance music to the global mainstream industry and rightly so! This is a documentary for mainstream perspectives as House was never really underground like in the US & it's been mainstream here since the 80s. Just because it's not pop music, doesn't have to not be in pop culture.

Funny how a summer hit - GET READY FOR THIS - has now nestled itself into a winter anthem - hockey specifically. Can still be heard at your local hockey rink as a crowd hype track.

guetta should not even be included in this... nothing hes done has been what i would call pivotal...

I agree Ecstasty is not the anser to peace ,love and happiness. I think if one becomes more loving u can reach a state of one-ness ! Even Bless ! with no drugs at all, I know I've done it many times !

So much other history is missing regarding the dance music scene on the West coast such as L.A. and Miami, Florida that developed in the 1980’s.

RAVE ON!!!! NO FACE!!!! JUST ENERGY!!!!

Soul Train" got its start on station WCIU in Chicago, in 1970

Good times...Idris was the best choice possible to pull off this script ;)

OMG i hate to imagine how much that Roland TB 303 must be worth now on E Bay. Wait.. Someone want's... 12K for that little machine... Autographed. 😮

Not underground enough for me...

This is such a great documentary. I can't believe Madeon was mentioned in it. He's amazing!!!

Idris Elba's a fellow house head ! thats awesome // gotta have house ... music all night long :) PEACE

I'm an electronic music fan since im 16 and its been 22 years now. It all started by buying all Kraftwerk, Jean-Michel Jarre, Vangelis LP-s in 1998. Putting David Guetta into this 90 minutes video after 10 minutes is a bit harsh, let alone it doesn't even keeps the chronological order. This is the reason I can't give credibility for this video and I disliked it, as a matter of fact putting David Guetta type hit-producers onto the same page where Kraftwerk and the acid house can be found is simply outrageous.

when it got too big, mainstream and the music industry stole it from the people and wrung it out ruthlessly to make much money as possible with it. the edm tracks from today, they are a caricature and a persiflage from itself trying hardly to copy the brilliance of the legendary classic tracks! most of the recent edm producers making sloppy test-tube music without any creativity, innovation and talent.its a sign of the times and a shame....

"In the church of dance"

The track at 14:45 is Nightwriters - Let the Music Take You (on Frankie Knuckles Defected House Masters disc, remastered)

This was so dope! thank you!

People hugging each other’s. Xspecially strangers

Too many chronological issues with this doc! It's VERY... all over the place! I wanted to remember my happy days as a clubkid from the U.S. who had just moved to England circa '89-'94 . This did no justice to those amazing experiences

Beautiful, thanks for the upload!

It's a shame that people that attend the clubs and festivals these days are only interested in just standing there holding a phone in the air or waving a flag in the air. Sadly in terms of dancing, things have taken a back seat since the evolvement of telephones with camera's. Camera's were rarely seen back in 88-94 and I am grateful that I was part of the Acid House and Rave scene back then......brilliant times and I've no shame in admitting I necked a load of E's back then.

Disappointed they didn't mention the likes of Sasha & Digweed and the whole Progressive Trance movement.

They skipped right over the missing link from 70's disco to 80's British club scene: The Starck Club... The birth of ecstasy and dance music (EBM, House, Techno, etc.)....

I'm very surprised that German scene and influences weren't even mentioned.

this is F'ing love to electronica

Great documentary, although i thought i was watching Pulp Fiction with the all the back and forth. Didn't make sense and so much is missing but interesting all the same

those key stabs in strings of life...

Was great

Take a break. Put "strings of life" on as loud as you can. Then come back.

How do you get from Northern Soul to David G in one breath. Really?

Art of noise? Depeche Mode?

5 mins in his overview of disco and ignoring northern soul then interviewing pete waterman 😂

Obviously the British club scene has been pivotal, but this doc completely ignores club music from any other country other than the US

CUTTING SHAPES :D!

first english house record was mike pickering n co with t coy carino

Great stuff!

interesting the vibes and changes sounds and movement

No mention of Love Parade and Tressor? Not even a mention of 808 State?

damn. if only the video quality was HD.

@idris. How can you not mention Belgian house?! They were sooo influential all those years. So many good tracks and labels. New beat, house, R&S records, Bonzai et cetera. How can you guys have missed this?? I love this doc but you’re missing out a huge and amazing scene. Just my opinion and I’m from Amsterdam 😅😀😀

Black people created a lot of music genres

This came out in 2012 and the best quality we have is 360P? lol

5:00 Insightful.

Detroit is the source, not the UK 💗

really nice information

I wanna move to Europe!!!

damn, stringer bell can do an amazing impression of a british accent

34:08 best part of the documentary

Sadly no mention of Berlin........ Hellooooooo

Bond...DJ Bond.

Fabulous!

Thank you!

How come all these "documentaries" all seem to almost BLATANTLY ignore the Florida scene starting from late eighties and growing into their, OUR, own style: Florida Breaks.... The doc by Idris Elvis makes such a big deal about remixes centering on a focal point being a '98 Tori Amos remix, when Rabbit in the Moon, a groundbreaking group from Florida that brought performance to the music, did that with one of her tracks in '92 called Out of Body Experience, one of the most sought after singles of the entire decade! Followed thereafter by Remixes & Remasters Vol 1 and 2... The doc Pump Up The Volume does the same thing.... Recognize Florida, pinheads!!! We brought Chemical Brothers, in turn the "big and glorious UK house" back to America from where it started..! Recognize!!! Also DJ Icey (booked Chemical Brothers first US gig), Baby Anne (groundbreaking female DJ ahead of her time), Rick West...I could name a hundred, those are just a few.. where's the recognition?!? Anyone??

How old is this documentary? At least ten years

Wish this was available in England

15:13 - what the heck is an Acid House fashion entrepreneur?

1:00:16 DAFT PUNK = Led Zeppelin of Dance Music!

damn he is an excellent narrator.

11 mins in i take it all back 🙈
