The story of house music’s black roots

Available for over a year

With Beyoncé and Drake’s new house tracks dominating the dance charts, we check out the origins of the genre and how it started in the black LGBTQ community. Lynnée Denise, a DJ and dance music expert, tells De-Graft about the history of house, and BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra presenter DJ Jeremiah Asiamah explains why it’s not just “oontz” music. We also talk to Katouche and Hannah, who are both disabled, about their experience at Wireless Festival – they say access was “terrible”. And following the racist abuse of Lewis Hamilton, we hear from Corey Alleyne, an up-and-coming racing driver, about being black in one of the least ethnically-diverse sports, motor racing.
