The Warehouse Continuum
Thursdays: 9pm
The Warehouse Continuum is an electronic dance music show that sometimes plays music that isn’t electronic and sometimes plays music you can’t dance to. Instead of culling playlists from a particular genre or style the show traces a path from disco and early electronic experiments through to the present day, looking to Frankie Knuckles’ Warehouse club as an anchor. House music was born in the Warehouse from the ashes of disco. Techno soon emerged in Detroit, introducing an Afrofuturist edge to the sound. Acid House spread across the pond and became a nationwide youth phenomenon in the hands of British DJs. The Jamaican influence of the Windrush generation soon mutated the sound into Jungle, Garage, Dubstep, and more. On the European continent, German producers reflected the ghosts of post-Soviet Berlin with industrial Techno, Italian producers took Disco to the stars while French robots flipped it into loopy odysseys. New ears twisted old sounds on the beaches of Goa, India; the streets of Durban, South Africa, and all around the globe. The Warehouse Continuum traces those threads and more, bringing you cutting edge new sounds alongside the long trail of dance music history history that inspired them.
