Pump Up The Volume – The History of House Music (Video Documentary)

Pump Up The Volume is a British TV series from 2001 that focuses on the inception and development of house music. While the film was rarely seen in the states during that time, a flood of Youtube uploads and a grass-roots movement have pulled the series back into public consciousness. The reason for the excitement around this series is the in-depth look at what was happening during the 1970s and 80s in New York, Chicago, and England. Interviews with legends such as Frankie Knuckles, Ron Hardy, and Marshall Jefferson are inter-cut with bits from dancers and enthusiasts who were present at the dawn this movement. If you’re a fan of modern day house music, this documentary is a must watch for education.
