New York

Season 1 Episode 6

Not too long ago it looked like New York's glory days as a center for dance music had passed. As the birthplace of disco and hip-hop and the home of legendary nightclubs like the Paradise Garage, Limelight, and Twilo, the city has long been part of the cultural fabric. But as the city transformed into today's sleek and hyper-gentrified metropolis, its thriving underground lost its foothold.
