As the year draws to an end and we step deeper into this new decade with trepidation and hope... I look back a touch...

The FFMT has been a source of solace and amusment, fun, memories and feel good vibes.
Met some cracking fellas over the years this thread has been up and the sideline "Group" bits of contact have made me smile.... even 217 messages at 2:00am.
Small glimmers in a shite year.

Here's a few for ya:


This one I was clued into by a top DJ on a great station. Keep doing what you do Punter / DJ Flouncer... I'm proper looking forward to some Saturday evening choonage in the back garden in 2021



This one I'd somehow missed but was flagged up about five and half years ago by DiscoDroid. What a cracker. Cheers DD



Here's one from Dr Packer... just well... because it's Dr Packer



This one is for BrixtonR. The man trapped in a teenagers body - what a top fella.
We both have a liking for the lovely Corrine Drewery... and not just these dulcet tones.....




Here's an offering for W13R - a man with superb taste in music shared via these many wide and varied pages




One for FredManRave (aka Ray Von) - the king of BBQ's and formerly the top light entertainer of Buenos Aires.



For WestBerksR... usually never has time to be indoors for more than 3 hours. Let's hope 2021 see's his rollacoaster of gigs return



Shoulders rubbed on dancefloors years gone by - sure I've exchanged gurns with Mr PP to this one in days of hair and happier times




If you're going to be issued with a CCJ then make sure it's one from Croydon and named Jack. Knowledge of choonage like an Encylopedia



LondonScottish.... the raving Don of NW London. Level headed bloke and a top soul. One of the few cyclists I can warm to!



Silky... a man who will send you a picture of an NZ beach when it's grey, drizzly and minus 2 outside. Swine!



OutWestR... the latest to hit the greatest...... RFM debut far better than many a centre back or forward debut in hoops we could list off. Have some of this old fella



MerseyHoop aka the Albert Square dancer - had to be this one you old Wooly Back




PommyHoop... he'll fill a bucket for you as long as he's not on FIFA (when isn't he?!)



Countless others I may have missed but that's me getting the New Years stuff in early.
Thanks to all who have kept chins up on here whilst almost everything around us turns to shoite.

These one's are for me.....


And of course.... (albeit not the one you would usually hear 276 times on a coachtrip to Nottingham)


Amazing post LBlock, as CCJ said post of the year on Thread of the last 7 years.
Totally agree about the posters on this thread and from extracurricular activities - All properly sound

Not been feeling too great since boxing day and then mayhem at work for the last few weeks
But thank you for the shout your comments and your tune mate - I've been feeling about 75 the last week so that cheered me right up.

So many mixes of this tune both Kate Bush and Placebo. The original Kate Bush version is still the benchmark. Anyone remember a really good BBC Children's program about a girl who gets mixed up with South London gangsters that used this as the theme?

This is a really good live mix. A few of my friends go to Luminosity, it looks rather tame but fun still. No Problem.

Take a journey back through the history of house music and explore this genre’s explosive cultural evolution.

History of House Music - Larry Levan at Paradise Garage


House music is an influential genre of dance music that has become a global phenomenon. It has been keeping people dancing for decades, spawned subcultures, influenced technology, united people, and propelled music innovation.

Stemming from disco, house music has evolved into many genres and subgenres of electronic music. It’s even influenced pop music, hip hop, and other modern music styles. To this day, the cultural impact of house music continues to inspire new generations of fans, music, technology, and innovation.

Let’s explore how this niche underground sound originated and how it became globally recognized as the soundtrack to modern dance music culture.

HOUSE MUSIC ORIGINS
Few cultural movements in music have a legacy as influential as house music. House music’s origins trace back to the underground clubs of Chicago and New York in the late 70s. Club culture spawned from the disco era was thriving, and DJs were experimenting with new ways of mixing their sets to keep people dancing. Early mixing and remixing techniques gave new life to dance music in the dying disco era. And a unique sound coined “house music” emerged in Chicago. The exact origins of the name are unclear, but many say house music was named after “The Warehouse” nightclub in Chicago’s South Side. Chicago record stores would attract fans of the emerging sound by labeling dance records “as played at The Warehouse,” which became shortened to “house music.”


Paradise Garage Nightclub in New York
House music became the first direct descendant of disco in the early 80s. It’s said “house was born from the ashes of Disco” after the launch of an anti-disco movement. Disco emerged in the early 70s as an underground movement born out of the urban gay culture in New York City. Predominantly LGBTQ, African American, and Latino communities popularized underground nightclubs and accelerated dance music culture. These clubs also provided safe havens for partygoers who wanted to escape from social issues and enjoy a euphoric experience away from public scrutiny. Legendary nightclubs such as New York’s “Paradise Garage” and Chicago’s “Warehouse” set the stage for modern club culture and catapulted the club DJ to rock star status.

DISCO DEMOLITION NIGHT: THE NIGHT DISCO DIED
The disco movement became a global “fad” in the late 70s, partly due to hit films such as “Saturday Night Fever” in 1977. Major record labels flooded the market to cash in on disco’s rise to the mainstream. Disco hits were dominating the Top 40 radio stations and topping the charts. However, disco’s mainstream popularity drew backlash from haters, and a “Disco Sucks” movement rose.

Disco fell out of fashion almost overnight in 1979 as a result of attacks from anti-disco movements across the country. One of the most memorable and extreme anti-disco rallies was “Disco Demolition Night” at Comiskey Park, July 12, 1979.



The anti-disco rally was led by Steve Dahl, a loudmouthed disc jockey who had been fired from a Chicago radio station when it went all-disco. Dahl expressed his frustrations on-air at his new job at a rock station. He also promoted “Death to Disco” rallies where he would destroy disco records.

However, Dahl made history when he organized the “Disco Demolition” event at Chicago’s Comiskey Park. Fans who brought a disco record could attend the doubleheader between the White Sox and the Detroit Tigers for only 98 cents. The event drew a massive crowd of over 59,000 people. After the first game, Dahl drove onto the field with a Jeep wearing a military uniform, leading the crowd in a chant of “disco sucks!” At the center of the field was a large collection of records rigged with dynamite. Dahl then detonated the crate of records. The explosion scattered records high into the air and left a crater in center field. Chaos then erupted when thousands of fans rushed the field, started fires by burning records, and vandalized the stadium. The riots and a ruined field forced the White Sox to forfeit the second game.

The popularity of disco declined substantially after “Disco Demolition Night.” The event also triggered a nationwide sentiment against disco. Many still believe the anti-disco movement expressed racism and homophobia. As a result, record sales fell, and the number of disco songs on the Billboard Top 10 went from six to zero in over eight weeks. US record labels had to look elsewhere, and DJs were forced to explore new mixing approaches to create dance music.

EARLY DJ MIXING TECHNIQUES
Early DJ innovators such as Frankie Knuckles, Larry Levan, DJ Ron Hardy, and others played a pivotal role in evolving disco into early house music. These revered DJs forever shaped the modern dance scene.


Larry Levan at Paradise Garage
Pioneering club DJs in the late 70s explored creative ways to edit, mix, and remix records. They also experimented with innovative techniques to overcome the limitations of the DJ equipment. Many DJs didn’t have basic equipment such as a DJ mixer, headphones, or turntables with varying speeds. It was also during this time DJs merged the roles of DJ, producer, composer, and remixer. For example, Frankie Knuckles, known as the “Godfather of House,” would remix (re-edit) songs using a reel-to-reel tape machine. He would add percussion breaks, rearrange sections, change the tempo, and extend breakdowns or energetic parts of songs. He edited disco classics, funk, soul, electro-pop, and other genres to create mixes more designed to make people dance.

The “house music” sound also evolved rapidly with the advancement of technology. DJs took house music to the next level by incorporating synthesizers, samplers, effects processors, and drum machines which introduced the consistent 4/4 tempo. These early innovators also started to loop basslines, add percussion layers, mix in effects, add vocals, and apply other remixing techniques. This new and innovative electronic sound immediately captured the hearts of clubgoers.

MUSIC TECHNOLOGY INFLUENCES
The early 80s was a vital turning point for DJing and music production. Synthesizers, samplers, sequencers, and drum machines became cheaper and more accessible, allowing bedroom producers to emerge. DJs and music producers in Chicago, New York, and Detroit delved deeper into dance music production and embraced these machines. New approaches towards music creation led to a sound which was deeper, rawer, and more designed to make people dance.


Increased access to music technology also continued to drive the conception of new music styles. Around the mid-80s, distinct electronic genres and subgenres emerged. We also heard defining characteristics such as tempo, deeper basslines, arpeggios, arrangement, the style of vocals, recognizable sounds from drum machines and synths, and more. It was also during this time, iconic drum machines like Roland’s TR-808, TR-909, and later the TB 303 gained popularity.



Chicago had a thriving underground dance scene throughout the 80s and DJs were seeking new music to energize the dancefloor. And with the advancement of music technology, more Chicago DJs produced and released original compositions. By the mid-80s, subgenres of house music emerged such as deep house and acid house. Record labels soon noticed the rising popularity of these genres. The most revered of these labels was Chicago’s Trax Records on North Clark Street. This iconic label released pivotal house music records, such as “Move Your Body” by Marshall Jefferson, “Acid Tracks” by Phuture, “Can You Feel It” by Larry Heard, “Your Love” by Frankie Knuckles, and many others.

Chicago house music even inspired various dancing styles. One of the first house dancing styles was “the jack” or “jacking.” This dancing style also left its trace in numerous record titles such as “Time to Jack” by Chip E, “Jack’n the House” by Farley “Jackmaster” Funk, and “Jack Your Body” by Steve “Silk” Hurley.

HOUSE MUSIC’S INTERNATIONAL RISE
House music and club culture progressed during the 80s and into the 90s. It quickly spread to Detroit and New York, where new scenes and styles of music were emerging. Record labels in these cities also started focusing more on electronic music designed to make people dance. Even radio stations such as Chicago’s “The Hot Mix 5” were playing house music. By the mid-80s, house music had spread internationally and was one of the most popular genres in Europe.

Many consider the first major success of house music outside the US to be “Love Can’t Turn Around” by Farley “Jackmaster” Funk and Jesse Saunders. The hit song peaked at #10 in the UK singles chart in 1986. A year later in 1987, “Jack Your Body” by Steve “Silk” Hurley reached #1 in the UK charts.

The explosion of house music quickly spread across the globe by the 90s. Different regions developed new music scenes and subcultures. There were even more genres and subgenres of house music emerging. Also, a rise of independent labels started releasing dance music exclusively. Dance music culture was exploding and changing significantly Worldwide.

House music even made its way into the mainstream. Madonna’s 1990 house song “Vogue” topped the US charts and became an international hit. Soon after, other major acts such as Janet Jackson, Paula Abdul, CeCe Peniston, Robin S, Björk, and many more incorporated house music into their work.

HOUSE MUSIC IS HERE TO STAY
House music is here to stay! This influential style of music continues to evolve and develop through globalization, emerging technology, cross-genre influences, cultural changes, and more. There is also still much more to the story of house music. I encourage you to explore more of the rich and controversial history of house music.
