But rather than being just another dance fad, it became a way of life, as the Children's classic track proves Even on dodgy DJ International and Trax pressings, early Chicago house still sounds fantastic. Futuristic, brutal, minimal and funky, it evokes moods that range from dreamy uplift ( Fingers Inc's Mystery of Love ), through...

It’s no secret that, as of late, focus on dance music has shifted across the pond. But the fact still remains that New York City is the birthplace of modern dance music. It’s in the sweaty underground clubs of America’s most populous city that Larry Levan and David Mancuso wowed dance floors night after night, their eclectic crates averting eyes and ears towards the DJ booth.

James Murphy and LCD Soundsystem drummer Pat Mahoney are going on a DJ tour this summer, bringing the real heart and "outlaw spirit" of disco to select cities in the States and the UK as part of the 26-date, three month Special Disco Version.

Barry Lederer (1944 - 2008)
Jahsonic (Free subscription) | 06/11/2008
