cut the one hip-hop act on the bill out: Run-DMC.
The focus of house and its follow-ons into the
nineties has always been more on the dance floor
it seems. The Summers of Love of ' 89 and ' 90
were much more about a subculture of hedonism and

discourse that is understood historically but
defined artistically: that is, a cinema concerned
with information brought to light less by formal

discussed the content of films as being the
defining purpose of film production in the
continent. For example, Xal...
