House music history emerged directly from disco and eventually they just changed the name to 'house.'" DJ Frankie Knuckles left NYC for Chicago in 1977 to become resident at the city's house music history club at the height of the disco era.
Like some other DJs in NYC he took the raw material of the disco he spun and added pre-programmed drum tracks to create a constant 4/4 tempo. The term "house music history" derives from his club, the Warehouse. By the mid-eighties house music history had emerged in Chicago as a fully-developed musical genre through the efforts of Knuckles and those inspired by him like DJ Ron Hardy of Music Box fame.
Two independent Chicago labels, Trax and DJ International, released the first house music history singles by Steve "Silk" Hurley ("Jack Your Body"), DJ Pierre, Larry Heard, Adonis and Marshall Jefferson. Farley "Jackmaster" Funk, known as the godfather of house music history, was a Chicago dj and producer who created the first international house hit, "Love Can't Turn Around", and put this music on the airwaves with his radio show "Hot Mix 5" which also featured Ralphie Rosario, still a top performer and producer.
This house music history, however, was gay and black. House music was popularized, it is said, by the British who invented acid house and brought the rejuvenated musical form back to the states and into the. House music history reached England in the late eighties via, the myth goes, the party island of Ibiza.
After that the genre metamorphosed under the UK house music history pioneers Paul Oakenfold, Mick Pickering, Danny Rampling and producers Gerald Simpson, Bang the Party, and Baby Ford into internationally desirable house music history.
This version of house music history, among many other terrible omissions, tends to overlook the contribution of Chicago's DJ Pierre to acid house. As early as 1985 Pierre and some friends pushed a button on their Roland 303 and found that that "acid house music history sound was already in it." They produced a track called "Acid Trax" which, they allege, was stolen by Ron Hardy and delivered as "Ron Hardy's Acid Trax."
