Thanks Iain. It's in it's very early days of putting it together but have made contact with some really well known and dj's that where there from the start. I've always loved House Music but was slightly too young to go out late 80's. Read Marshall Jefferson's book and a book called the 2nd summer of Love last week on holiday that made me want to hear about other people's view. Read loads of other books and always been interested in stories from people that were there or involved.
The Marshall book is really interesting, especially to hear it from the Chicago side, from where it and who 'apparently' started it - which is a debate in it's self.
Will also be an observer of this.
Growing up with the dance scene from late 80s acid house through to the gabber hardcore that became my equivalent love. I didn't just travel the length and breadth of the country, I also travelled Europe through 93 to 98. House Music as a term is an interesting one as it's definition varies by country almost. House in Belgium was more akin to Trance, in Holland more to Hardcore and in Germany more to Techno, rather then the slower, more downtempo UK version.
All off them had bangers though from Yves Deruyter's Calling Earth to CJ Bolland's The Prophet.
Loved many Belgian tracks from Bonzai Records and still have over 100 of them. But Dutch Gabber was my true religion.
