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.
