[QUOTE="greg wilson, post: 802784, member: 14835"] Came across this thread and thought I'd drop in to add a few links. The biggest myth in UK dance culture is that everything began with the legendary Ibiza trip of '87. That was the catalyst for ecstacy to hit the UK club scene, but the music was already in place. In places like Manchester, Sheffield and Nottingham, which were the key cities in the North and Midlands when it came to the emergence of House, the early House tracks (before this was even seen as a distinct genre) were played alongside Electro and the other black music flavours. It all stems from the black scene and, as already mentioned, Winston & Parrot were playing early House at Jive Turkey in Sheffield, Colin Curtis and Jonathan were at Rock City in Nottingham, Graeme Park would DJ at the Garage in Nottingham and The Leadmill in Sheffield (alongside Winston Hazel), whilst a whole heap of things were happening in Manchester before The Hacienda started to really take off - clubs like The Playpen, Legend, The Gallery and Berlin led the way. Then, on Piccadilly Radio, Stu Allan was arguably the first radio DJ in the country playing House. Anyhow further info here: Electro-Funk - What Did It All Mean? - this highlights the era before House, which had so much influence on what subsequently happened: [url=http://www.electrofunkroots.co.uk/articles/what.html]Electro-Funk : What Did It All Mean?[/url] Tim Lawrence's 'Discotheque Hacienda' sleevenotes, which tell a different side of the story: [url=http://www.timlawrence.info/linernotes/2006/Hacienda.php]Tim Lawrence Liner notes[/url] My interview with Stu Allan: [url=http://www.electrofunkroots.co.uk/interviews/stu_allan.html]A conversation with Stu Allan[/url] There's all sorts of stuff relating to this, and other aspects of the black scene, on my [url=http://www.electrofunkroots.co.uk]E L E C T R O F U N K R O O T S[/url] website, including record lists from the early 80's, when some of the best, and most diverse, dance music was being released. There's a whole history to explore prior to the House explosion. [/QUOTE]
