House music was pioneered by blacks (Frankie Knuckles, Marshall Jefferson, Farley "Jackmaster" Funk, Larry Levan, the list goes on). From House came Acid, and from there came most of the other genres of EDM, including Techno. Derrick May and Kevin Saunderson were pioneers of Techno, and they were both black.
I think the lack of blacks at events comes more from a lack of knowledge on the history of the music than on a dislike for the music. If more people knew about the history of this music, then maybe we could get more exposure for the black community. To a lot of people that I talk to, they think that Hip-Hop is the only modern form of African-American music out there, and that EDM is just made by a bunch of white European guys.
JitteryJoe: When I heard that P.Diddy was releasing a House track in 2003, I did a double-take! Fortunately the Erick Morillo tracks that he worked with ended up sounding pretty good... |
Someone knows their history.
and Jittery you may want to read up on the Belleville 3. |
