Stemming from disco, house music has evolved into many genres and subgenres of electronic music. To this day, the cultural impact of house music continues to inspire new generations of fans, music, technology, and innovation.
Few cultural movements in music have a legacy as influential as house music. Club culture spawned from the disco era was thriving, and DJs were experimenting with new ways of mixing their sets to keep people dancing.
Early mixing and remixing techniques gave new life to dance music in the dying disco era. House music became the first direct descendant of disco in the early 80s. Disco emerged in the early 70s as an underground movement born out of the urban gay culture in New York City. These clubs also provided safe havens for partygoers who wanted to escape from social issues and enjoy a euphoric experience away from public scrutiny.

The anti-disco rally was led by Steve Dahl, a loudmouthed disc jockey who had been fired from a Chicago radio station when it went all-disco. Dahl expressed his frustrations on-air at his new job at a rock station. Fans who brought a disco record could attend the doubleheader between the White Sox and the Detroit Tigers for only 98 cents.
The event drew a massive crowd of over 59, people. Dahl then detonated the crate of records. The explosion scattered records high into the air and left a crater in center field. Chaos then erupted when thousands of fans rushed the field, started fires by burning records, and vandalized the stadium. The riots and a ruined field forced the White Sox to forfeit the second game.
Many still believe the anti-disco movement expressed racism and homophobia. As a result, record sales fell, and the number of disco songs on the Billboard Top 10 went from six to zero in over eight weeks. US record labels had to look elsewhere, and DJs were forced to explore new mixing approaches to create dance music.
These revered DJs forever shaped the modern dance scene. Pioneering club DJs in the late 70s explored creative ways to edit, mix, and remix records. They also experimented with innovative techniques to overcome the limitations of the DJ equipment. It was also during this time DJs merged the roles of DJ, producer, composer, and remixer.
