Following up on their excellent series on local dance-music scenes throughout the world (they’ve already done videos on Detroit, Johannesburg, Berlin, Paris and Bristol), Resident Advisor are back with their latest installment on the New York City underground dance scene. Definitely worth a watch.
“Not too long ago it looked like New York’s glory days as a center for dance music had passed. As the birthplace of disco and hip-hop and the home of legendary nightclubs like the Paradise Garage, Limelight and Twilo, the city has long been part of the cultural fabric. But as the notoriously grimy city of the late 20th century transformed into the sleek and hyper-gentrified metropolis of today, its thriving underground lost its foothold.”
