Rave documentaries Pump Up the Volume Part 1 (C4 2001, 60mins)
This film follows the evolution of house music from its birth in Chicago to the myriad of diverse music it has since spawned.
Pump Up The Volume is a three part history on the development of electronic dance music. Part one looks in detail at Chicago and the early roots of house as it grows out of disco’s remains. The second and third parts take you through Detroit techno, acid house, Manchesters legendary Hacienda club and the UKs widespread rave scene of the early 90s that gave birth to so many new styles and directions over the following decade.
Born out of the ashes of Disco, House music was destined to change the world. This film follows that progression from the underground to the mainstream through countless interviews from the people who made it all happen. Not limited to what we call House music today, it includes the birth of all of the major genres that were born out of it; Acid, Techno, Trance, Drum & Bass, UK Garage, and many more.
