Come and explore the evolution of dance music, told through six chapters and countless interactive installations.
The Beginning
Our movement did not start with a bang, but a beat.
Are you ready to experience those very first beats, very first warehouse nights, and feelings of total freedom?
As you enter the first mesmerizing installation, you are greeted by the first preacher of house Mr Chuck Roberts, who will impressively remind you of the core values of (y)our culture.
IN THE BEGINNING THERE WAS JACK… AND JACK HAD A GROOVE. AND FROM THIS GROOVE CAME THE GROOVES OF ALL GROOVES AND WHILE ONE DAY VICIOUSLY THROWING DOWN ON HIS BOX JACK BOLDLY DECLARED LET THERE BE HOUSE…
The History
A movement born from rebellion and the need for release.
Explore and learn about the roots of house music and its’ full journey through the eyes of the creators: the DJ-producers, the promoters, the creatives, and photographers. Narrated by renowned DJ-producers Kevin Saunderson, Carl Cox, Armin van Buuren, Diplo and Charlotte de Witte, you’re sure to walk away with a deeper appreciation of the scene YOU are a part of.
The Music
Four-on-the-floor. The 808. The kick. The drop. The bass.
Come explore and play with iconic drum machines such as Roland’s TR-808, TR-909, or the TB-303 and everything in between and see what production skills you can discover in yourself. We know you’ve got it in you!
