summary of music project by: lauren curtis

the music that i was given to research was house music . i learned alot about house music i really didn't think that house could be so interesting . the first thing i learned was that house was a direct decendent of disco music. the most influencial people were DJ Ron Hardy, DJ Frankie Knuckles and DJ Larry Levan. two of these DJ's were gay and they freely expressed it . ron hardy created the environment for house music while frankie knuckles laided the foundation for it to become successful. larry levan was also influencial in this process he would play house, disco ,and garage which were hot back in the day.there were also two essential clubs that played house music they were Chicago's Warehouse and New York's Paradise Garage. this were Dj hardy and knuckles got their start. Dj Larry Levan got his start in a club that would put the Dj in the center of attention . house became so successful because it started to play in a wider community and got more attention .there were also many other amuter DJ's that were coming on to the scence. they would ask ron to test out their music on their crowds to see if they would like it. house music is electrical and many people enjoy it that's why it's going to become universal.
