- Date: 20th November 2001
- Summary: An authored journey through the history, music and personalities of Dance Music, from House Music to the present. The definitive account of the movement that inspired a generation.
- Description:Taking us across the Atlantic, Programme 2 charts the beginnings of the most exciting period in British house music from 1986-1989. Spurned in London as fag music, House took offf in the UK in northern clubs like Manchesters Hacienda. Only when OJ's Fledgling OJs, Paul Oakenfold, Nicky Hollaway and Lisa Loud experience the music in Ibiza and pledge to bring it back to London did House music capture the capital inspired by trips to Ibiza, introduced house music to Britain changing the face of the UK club scene. We document the powerful combination of house music and ecstasy and it's development in to Acid House. Focusing on the M25 orbital raves like Sunrise, Energy, and Biology, we look at the birth of 'rave culture' as thousands of ravers started to clash with the authorities for the right to party.
