CHICAGO 1970s & 1980s:

This man right here is Frankie knuckles a main icon in the House Music movement.
Starting in New York, but under Larry Levan shadows, Frankie moved to Chicago where he then would start his reign as the king of House Music at The Warehouse...
Chicago was dead, and the people there were never introduced to an after hours scene
It was the worst Financial time since the Great Depression
Culturally, things were pretty bad (sound familiar https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đź‘€" title="Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Augen">)
The Sound system at the warehouse was designed by one of the best sound designers Richard long
The BASS was unimaginable. Unless you were there.
The People of Chicago have never heard sound like this.
You could literally sit there, High or Not because the music was gonna get you there anyway.
Frankie Knuckles went on to become a club owner. So he left The Warehouse and started The Power Plant.
With Frankie out of the picture, many other artist took the spotlight.
One that really stood out was DJ Ron Hardy.
He felt the music was too slow so he sped it up a little.
Ron Hardy was one of the first to incorporate the Weird Acid sound to House Music.
People were like, “What is this sound?” “WHERE CAN I GET MORE”
And thanks to the very first Acid House producer, Phuture with the song “Acid Tracks”
The people got MORE
Eventually a new mayor got elected and started making it to where you couldn’t party very late
The radio stations started to change their format and stopped playing House Music on the radio...
Even after all THE MAN’S efforts, House Music pushed through and thriving. Look where we are today.
House Music is Everywhere, influencing all genres heavily.
We are in the midst of another Global Movement
Let’s see what change in the world we can make now.
