This week we go on a potted journey through club music, with particular focus on the slow mutation of Disco and Soul into the hugely influential and endlessly productive sound eventually just known as 'House'. Larry Levan's extended Club mixes at New York's Paradise Garage and long, often bass-heavy breakdowns already contained the spirit of House, defined by the prominent kick drum which would eventually come to typify every strand of four-to-the-floor music to this day. From New York the focus edged over to Chicago's Warehouse parties and the pioneering work of Frankie Knuckles, Ron Hardy, Jesse Saunders, Jamie Principle, Larry Heard and the Hot Mix 5 who, armed with drum machines and turntables, blended elements of Italo, Hip Hop and electro to create the first readily recognisable House trax before spiritual brethren and rivals like Derrick May and Kevin Saunderson over in Detroit seeded Techno mutations through to the later generation of producers like Carl Craig and Dan Bell who did much to push the boundaries of electronic music even further. It's a pretty wild journey getting from A to B, with several important stops along the way, and though we've only really looked at the very tip of the iceberg the most important thing is that each and every one of these tracks is a stone cold KILLER! Join the dots and play super loud for maximum impact...
