Originally published in 2000 in France, and updated through today for this first English edition, the electrifying narrative introduces readers to the harbingers of the genre, such as David Mancuso, Larry Levan, and Frankie Knuckles (known as the "Godfather of House Music"); the prototypes of modern-day nightclubs and dance venues, like The Loft and Studio 54 in New York City, the Palace in Paris, and the Hacienda in Manchester, England, and of course, the technology and machines that first produced and synthesized the records that galvanized a movement. <br>Told through exciting illustrations that evolve with the era they describe, and complete with specially curated playlists for each and every decade, <i>The Song of the Machine</i> recounts the influences and inspirations, the people and epic parties that created and defined this revolutionary music.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><i>"Le Chant de la machine</i><i></i>is one of these unclassifiable books, a dazzling meteor.''--<b><i>GQ</b></i><br><br>"For its visual boldness, its spirit and its historiographical relevance, <i>Le Chant de</i><i>la machine </i>reads as a classic."--<b><i>Libération</b></i><br><br><i>"Le Chant </i>was a fundamental book and remains a cornerstone of any self-respecting musical library.--<b><i>Trax</b></i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>David Blot</b> was born in 1970.
