 bittersweet recording of the gay disco sceneMay 17, 2010

This is what it is....Sep 30, 2008
If you want to know about house music and how the scene was born then please watch this masterpiece. The editing and filming is of superior quality. I am happy to see someone put some much care and work into this sub-culture. There is just the right amount of interviews, music and dance to keep the movie flowing nicely. It is amazing! Buy it now.

Great music history lesson!!Aug 01, 2008
Being a DJ from Chicago I must say this is one of the best docus I have ever seen! Way to go!! I was at a Frankie Knuckles party a few years ago when Frankie showed a clip and told the crowd that they would be filming at the party....So as I am sure to say I was in absolute shock when I brought this dvd and viewed second dvd to find me in the crowed jackin off of my old friend Jamie Principle's performance! I will never forget that night and once more I have been immortalized!!!! giggles! House Nation ONE!!! Learn some history buy this DVD!

 Good but the Cinematography needs LOTS of workFeb 26, 2008
I love this film. But frankly the interviews take a lot out of it. You don't really interview Mancuso to the extent that he should have been interviewed. That guy is a freaking genius. Not to mention Two of the greats when it comes to actual dj'ing...Francis Grasso and Steve D'Acquisto...Steve was barely lit at all, and Francis was lit with one spotlight that was right in his face. If I would have been Francis, I would have punched a guy interviewing me like that. How can you call that good cinematography.
Interviewing dj's should always have some great stories to tell about what the movie is supposed to be about. And you had Danny Tenaglia in it for less than a minute, when that guy could tell you stories that would amaze you.
All in all. I really think this should have had a third DVD with it which had all the extended interviews. Including DT, Louie Vega, Jellybean, and all the other great dj's that didn't get enough interview time on this.
And the ORIGINAL video is ONLY 1 hour and 17 minutes. How can you sum up something like this in that short of a timespan. Should have been 2.5 hours at least. People would have definitely sat through that.
