[@JCMthebrand]

I'm Tejas....spent sometime in Brunswick after grad school. Chicago and Newark has converted me.....house and houses soul forever.

[@tashonjackson2848]

Back in the 80’s when I was a young Marine stationed at Camp Lejuene, NC, me and my homeboyz used to drive back to Newark every few weeks just to go to the Zanzibar, Club America, and Club 88. I remember driving up listening to WBLS and KISS FM getting me hyped up for the night. I remember that hypnotic beat had me on the dance floor dripping wet… man… those were fun times. I visited many clubs as I traveled around in those days but nothing could compare. Not techno, not reggae, not go-go. House music was the best!

[@anthonywooten9930]

yeah, same here, they play go go in DC area but it doesn't make you move like house music does....you got that right....NO other music compares to house....and never will....

[@nicolsingh7365]

Anthony Wooten so true

[@darqman82]

I remember bringing mixtapes back from home after leave and playing them in the day room on my boom box. We would have cats coming from 3 floors coming down to our day room. Like it was mini Zanzibar.

[@tarifel]

Oooh Raaaaaa!!!!!!! Devil Dog

[@azur9404]

[@georgedavalos9071]

Club Sensations was for the Tuff and Ruff, but had great times there. To bad it burned down 🔥

[@tariqsmith1905]

It didn't burn down it just that the marriage didn't want it there no more and they wanted to bring in the pack which bring in more money it's all about the dollar bill

[@lasarbrent5644]

I used to hit Sound factory bar, the octagon, the palladium, Zanzibar, the shelter we used to clubbit up hard...thise were the days

[@willbrandford9607]

Check your history son, the cat you call the godfather of house, is from NY, came up under Larry Levan and others. The reason he got the job in chi was because Larry and others were already booked in NY. Now Frankie gets his props, no doubt. But it's not like he existed in a vacuum.

[@user-vu6tm4gm1j]

We had club music before the term "house" was introduced.

[@Solis225]

Here is one of my NYC stories. Drove up with some people I can’t even tell you who they were today. I went into the house party and it was huge and off the chain. The people and environment was fantastic. Most of all the music and dancing areas were packed. I came in ready to party are the drive and just started partying. Didn’t stop dancing literally for over an hour. When the music said “ WBLS in New York live from the Garage” The crowd went off danced even harder. It was the fu@king radio😱People thinking a DJ was somewhere in the party. The fu@king radio. Frankie Crockett. This is where the saying “ you just had to had been there” comes to mind. What the kids say now? No 🧢.😂 Those were the days my friend. We thought they would never end. We would sing and dance forever in a day. Life is fantastic. I live to tell about.

[@db3crashcoursecinema]

You see..with Me being a 80's Kid,it might have been WILD out there,but even back then the Gangstas,Thugs and Drug Hustlers use to get Down on the Floor,and would be TOO Tired to bring the Drama,when it came to a Party back then..and if did..They would Save that Mess for OUTSIDE when it was Necessary!!!!!!
