Watch a documentary about the origin and popularization of house music

This two-part documentary brings exclusive interviews with key figures from the scene, such as Nile Rodgers, Marshall Jefferson, Honey Dijon, and many others.

British television Channel 4 presents a two-part documentary series called "I Was There When House Took Over the World," which chronologically traces the origins and development of house music. 

The documentary series follows how the death of disco led to the creation of the iconic sound of electronic and dance music. 


The documentary series is divided into two parts - "House Was Born," which focuses on the social and cultural environment, as well as the historical context that influenced the genre's development, and "House Went Global," which tells the story of how house music conquered the charts and dancefloors worldwide.


The documentary series features archival footage, visits to iconic locations in Chicago, and interviews with key figures from the scene who were active in the past and today, such as Nile Rodgers, Marshall Jefferson, Honey Dijon, and many others. 

Channel 4 has already explored electronic music and previously produced an important documentary at the beginning of the millennium titled "Pump Up the Volume: The History of House Music."
