Beyoncé and Drake released house music albums this year, leaving fans confused by their shift from pop-soul sounds to dance beats. Despite popular belief, house music comes from the the 70s disco era and fostered a safe space for Black and queer folk to feel true liberation. House music great, DJ Derrick Carter, and music scholar and writer, Craig Seymour, join host Roy Wood Jr. to discuss the forgotten origins of house music. #BeyondTheScenes #DailyShow #Comedy

    It’s amazing how, we ,as South Africans hopped into the disco genre and moved to house gracefully as also an escape from Apartheid in the 80’s and 90’s. It was revolutionary

    Man they went through my collection. Loved spinning house especially the soulful/funky house that came later.

    Your videos are always the best I do receive a notification each time you post a new video. We will have regrets for things we did not participate in. Investments should always be on any creative man’s heart for success in life and I’ll advise you do a little glimpse of that on your next video ….

    I try to explain this exact history to younger folk when I speak about house music. Not gonna lie, I’m extremely evangelistic about people knowing the precise history of house and techno and its disco roots. Thank you for putting this together!
