Disco house and techno giants including Tom Moulton, Derrrick May and Gerald Simpson reflect on the enduring global impact of club culture. Plus: the sun comes out in The Island Strait
10pm, BBC Four
Dance music hits BBC Four’s Friday music heritage slot with this fine three-part series. Tonight’s opener is the story of the outliers and renegades who created disco, house and techno and then watched with amazement as their experiments went nuclear. The series speaks to all the right people (Tom Moulton, Derrick May, Gerald Simpson and many more) and does a good job of communicating both the arms-aloft hysteria engendered by the music and the social contexts from which it sprung.
