Warehouse

Right.

At an industrial building turned dance club called The Warehouse.

Exactly.

Frankie Knuckles was working at The Warehouse and he is a monumental figure in this evolution.

He played various genres, but intensely experimented with beats.

How do you physically manipulate analog disco into electronic house music?

It was hypnotic, it was raw, and it was undeniably built on the skeletal remains of disco.

The DNA survived.

Frankie Knuckles is considered the godfather of Chicago house.

He was instrumental in developing this new sound in the late 1970s at the Warehouse Club, but the culture existed before the music was ever called house.

At the time, it was just called dance music.

And unlike disco, it wasn't played on the radio, so the main place you could hear it was during DJ sets at The Warehouse, which some people would call the house.

See where I'm going here? The DJs who did record their sets sold them at record shops, even after The Warehouse had closed, record shops like Imports Et cetera in Chicago, where a young DJ named Chip Eberhart worked.

We found that if we put a sign next to a l- record that said, "As heard at the house," people would instantly flock to that section.

So I decided I'm gonna use that term.

There is also a longer spaced out mix of Moody, which comes along just a few months later.

Didn't chart over here, but it's in the Paradise Garage Top 100, it's in the Music Box Top 50, it's first of four tunes in the Chicago Warehouse Top 50, and it's listed in the Roxy Top 100 that Afrika Bambaataa compiled with Cool Lady Blue.

James didn't review it.

It was sampled in Like This by Chip E, 1985.

Underground.

Yeah, Underground.

It made the Warehouse Top 50 and it made Colin Curtis' Blackpool Mecca playlist.

Although James didn't review it, he does mention it in January 77.
