[QUOTE="siman91, post: 832973, member: 755"] Wow theres alot being said in the last posts and I dont feel able to comment on post 93/94 music as I sort of lost interest and started to look backwards not forwards. 1, First and most important broadcaster for house music was WBMX and the Hot Mix 5. They introduced the very first mixes originally disco/electro and italian disco mixed/blended/scratch mixed. These guys developed the use of drum machines and sequencers and eventually the house sound. Frankie played and produced a number or artists and claims the first house sound with Jamie Principle in 1984. Jesse Saunders and Z Factor claim first place with Fantasy and the Dance Party Album and Duane Thamm Jr and Mike Macharello should have a say with Single Girl and Jump Trax all mid/late 1984. 2, Italian Disco was a massive ifluence but so were others.... Electro, [url=http://www.discogs.com/Night-Moves-Transdance/release/371547]Night Moves - Transdance (Vinyl) at Discogs[/url] Italian Disco, [url=http://www.discogs.com/Capricorn-I-Need-Love/release/514369]Capricorn (3) - I Need Love (Vinyl) at Discogs[/url] Upbeat Electro, [url=http://www.discogs.com/Coachouse-Rhythm-Section-The-Nobodys-Got-Time-Time-Warp/release/752391]Coachouse Rhythm Section, The* - Nobody's Got Time / Time Warp (Vinyl) at Discogs[/url] US Disco, [url=http://www.discogs.com/Powerline-Journey/release/1130268]Powerline - Journey (Vinyl) at Discogs[/url] etc etc etc including Kraftwerk, Gino Socio etc. 3, Trax Records were simply there at the right time, they simply pressed the early records and did very little to promotion....they did not have the money!! 4, UK and Europe had a massive influence as mentioned in the early years through some of the purest electronic music, Electro.
