Tonight on Channel 4 at 11.05 p.m. PUMP UP THE VOLUME A TIME TO JACK! Pump Up the Volume traces the history and evolution of house music from its underground roots in Chicago and New York right up to its explosion as a global commercial phenomenon. The series features the key players, punters and places that made this sound happen.
Travelling between Chicago and New York, the first programme goes right back to the roots of house in 1976. House grew from disco and then moved underground to a primarily gay, black and Latino club scene. This produced some of the greatest, pioneering musical innovators and DJs of the times, including Derrick May, Farley Jackmaster Funk, and Marshall Jefferson. By focusing on the key clubs and their creators, Pump Up the Volume gives a taste of their recipe for success - non-stop dancing, drugs, dramatic DJs, and musical experimentation - which paved the way for house music and club culture. The programme also features Joey Beltram, DJ Pierre, Steve Silk Hurley, Jamie Principle, and Joe Smooth. -------------------- talk21 your FREE portable and private address on the net at http://www.talk21.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
