The Beat, the Scene, the Sound : A DJ's Journey through the Rise, Fall, and Rebirth of House Music in New York City
House Music - Book - by DJ Disciple & Henry Kronk
(2023)
A
thrilling and tumultuous, behind-the-scenes account of house music in
NYC. The Beat, the Scene, the Sound follows DJ Disciple and his
behind-the-scenes account of how DJs, promoters, fans, and others
transformed house music from a DIY project into an international
sensation-dive into the glitzy clubs, underground parties, and the
diverse communities who made up the scene amidst the tumult of
1980s/90s-era NYC-between the fall of disco and the rise of EDM. The
book unearths many untold stories of the era.
When
house first rose to prominence in the 1980s, it brought people
together-Palladium, Paradise Garage, Tunnel, Zanzibar, Studio 54, and
other clubs were going strong. But as DJ Disciple established himself in
the scene, he witnessed it shatter. During the crack-cocaine epidemic,
he literally dodged bullets bringing his records to and from clubs at
night.
HIV/AIDS
and homophobia threw up fear-based partitions. Then, mayors worked to
close the clubs. House music was pushed underground and then abroad to
the UK and Europe.
Disciple
and many other DJs sought to regain a footing in the United States, but
that only became possible with the rise of commercialized EDM. With
dozens of interviews and historic photographs, The Beat, the Scene, the
Sound shows what is possible when you bring people together and what can
unravel when you split them apart.
