Move Ya Body: The Birth of House

A music style born in the vibrant US metropolis of Chicago, steeped in racism and violence, renews the queer promise that “Mother” Disco had previously brought into the world: liberation begins in a safe space with a dance floor. Elegance Bratton reconstructs the pioneering sound from the warehouses in a feedback loop between urban and music history, letting influential figures such as Frankie Knuckles and Vince Lawrence have their say. House stands for euphoria and a global business, but for fans from the very early days, a transcendent experience like the “Holy Spirit”.
