Product Description

Product Description
House Generation tells the story of the social and cultural explosion that was House. From its roots in Chicago, where it grew out of the ashes of Disco. House music has risen to become the soundtrack to every fashion show, after-show party, premiere and club opening around the world. Today, House is used by many of the leading mainstream music stars - Madonna, Kylie Minogue, U2, Boy George - to break new markets and update their sound, and has influenced more people than any style since rock 'n' roll. The series will take the story from Chicago and New York via Ibiza to Britain, interviewing key players on both sides of the Atlantic including Alfredo. Paul Oakenfold, Carl Cox and the people behind the superclubs like Ministry of Sound and Cream. It will also consider the social effect of House - a sound that has transcended all class, race and cultural boundaries, to become the soundtrack of modern popular culture.

5.0 out of 5 stars An inthrilling, exiting journey through the history of house, 12 Jan 2002
If you've ever been mistaken into thinking that dance is purely nonsense sound and noise this should correct that misperception!
This superb account allows the reader not only to read about a historical influence of house music, in both English and American cultures, but you are also allowed and encouraged to feel part of the culture. We are shown that this in its depths and ranges, from acid house, to funk house, to tech(no) house.
For anyone who has a love for house music this is a meaningful opportunity to discover the routes of this love, from those clubs that lay a path for house, such as Paradise Garage and The Warehouse. Asides this it is easy to see the origonals of todays house music such as "Your Love" and "Time to Jack."
This by no means trivialises house, in fact it is a must for any fan of House music, whether it be UK, US, Deep, Funk or Tech and whether they are young, old, black, white, gay or straight or male or female.
The only thing left to say is......."Pump Up The Volume!"
