A clubnight held at The Love Inn on Saturday 22nd July. The event starts at 22:00.
'A DJ's Journey through the Rise, Fall, and Rebirth of House Music in New York City.'
“The Beat, the Scene, the Sound” follows DJ Disciple and his behind-the-scenes account of how DJs, promoters, fans, and others from diverse communities transformed house music from a DIY project into an international sensation amidst the tumult of 1980s and 90s-era New York City.
The book unearths many untold stories of the era. When house music 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. The HIV/AIDS epidemic 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 commercialised 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.
DJ Disciple is a Black artist, DJ, radio host, producer, and community advocate based in Brooklyn, New York. He has toured the world over a forty-year career, playing venues such as Studio 54 in New York, Ministry of Sound, the Southport Weekender, Back To Basics, Ms Moneypenny’s, Middlesborough’s Empire club, Notting Hill Carnival, Luke Solomon & Kenny Hawkes’ Space, Paul ‘Trouble’ Anderson’s Loft club, Fabric and Cream in Ibiza. His Grammy-nominated track “Caught Up” reached Number 1 on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart and was later featured in the Showtime series “Queer As Folk”. His music has landed on scores of top music charts around the world. He won an ARIA music award for his remix of Steven Allkins’ “The Bass Has Got Me Movin.”
