If you’re a fan of house music, then you will be interested to know that you can stream several documentaries online. Take a look below to see what’s available to watch, right now.

The Explosion of Online Entertainment

Entertainment as a whole has exploded since moving online. At one point, if you wanted to listen to house music, you had to go to the local record store and make a purchase. You couldn’t just stream on Spotify or YouTube. It’s not just the music sector that has experienced a shift, either. The gaming sector is also a prime example. At one point, you could only play traditional slots by visiting the casino, but now you can play hit titles like the Starburst slot online at Betfair. In games like this, you can also get free spins, special symbols, and a range of extra features. This not only expands the amount of entertainment that’s available but also makes it more accessible than ever.

Thanks to the online shift, we also have access to more online documentaries and movies, which has helped ensure that there’s always, a steady stream of new content available. This has benefitted house music in particular, as documentaries such as Pump up the Volume – A History of House Music and What Is House? An Insider’s Look at Dance Music is now available to watch on several platforms.

Pump up the Volume – A History of House Music

Pump up the Volume – A History of House Music was released in 2001. It’s available to watch on YouTube, and it’s a Channel 4 production. It covers the start of house music, following it through the disco era to the Disco Demolition Night. Steve Dahl organized the explosion of thousands of records, an iconic moment in history. The documentary also covers lots of storied moments, which makes the documentary an interesting watch for fans of the genre.

If you have a keen interest in mixing and mastering, you’ll be interested to know that the documentary also covers the evolution of mixing as a whole, which helped to bring new DJs to light. Stars include Kevin Saunderson and Carl Cox provides running commentary too, so if you want an in-depth look at the history of house music then this is the documentary you should be watching.
