- ► In recent years, there are few figures in electronic music who have had a rise as meteoric as Miss Honey Dijon. In an intimate lecture, we're sharing a couch to tell the story of her journey as an artist via her most important records - a music map that'll span back to her first dubs as an aspiring musician in Chicago & NYC to being the queen of electronic music's high fashion altar.

Honey Dijon should totally start a youtube channel with a regular "Education hour with Honey" - show.
Please, Honey, if you read this, give it a shot.
I could listen the storys and the records for days.
In my humble opinion: she is an incredible DJ; with an application of metrics, transitions, sensations of transmition and very remarkable arrangements; enhanced by a sense of the natural rhythm of people of color, such Carl Cox, James Brown, BB King and many others.
It's awesome; and I love this woman.
She is so intelligent and wise! I love her.
Albums in order:
1. Yello - Bostich
2. Relax - Franky goes Hollywood
3. Nitzer Ebb - Control I'm Here
4. Around the World in a Day - Prince

(there are more but I didn't write them down)

I want to validate that everything said is true. I was born and raised on the southside and moved to the northside in 1982 of Chicago. I used to go to Evergreen Plaza and saw the birth of house at the Warehouse, COD, AKA, Coconuts, Medusas, Bismark, Power Houese, Music Box, etc...This is a real DJ who knows. I had a fake ID from off Madison St too and started partying at 13 years old. I saw shit no kid should see. Now that I am 46 yrs old, I feel totally burned out. I enjoyed this very much and wish Honey only the best. God bless. I was also hanging up posters for Diamond Corp (Lil Louis) in 1987...LOL
how can anyone give this a thumbs down?! Best thing i've seen on the internet in a long time. Thanks Boiler room
Scott Watson same here
They should have given her more time. She's a true teacher of music
Love you honey dijon! I'm from chicago also...and when you played "black out" I got the chills...great memories! Chicago house lives 4 ever!
*Chicago
Who’s the artist of black out?
26:50, house music producers, you have a good sample here ;)
Dijon I love you so much
Lets stop facing the dj and start dancing again
I completely agree. It's supposed to be about the journey and getting lost in the music.
When she said that i felt goosebumps
Also to add, house music became big because of all the djays in chicago that like me got tired of having only a select few of music, its funny cause honey says there to much now which i agree, to much of the same at times but thats another story, but yeah back in the early 80s all we had was salsoul, prelude and the top 5 labels with danceable r&b and west end, and every now and then we would be blessed with an import, like yellow bostitch which honey mentioned and alexander robotnick which sounded great, so when these hard driving tracks started coming out it was like WOW, more sounds and breaks to make your mixes go longer and hotter, i come from nyc so i remember this,i been djaying on and off since 79, but like i said honey said a lot that is FACTS..
Such a great interview
Honey hit on sum great points of djaying back in the day to now, i always said these djas now play tracks till your ears bleed,no creative style, i remember wen tracks wer made for fillers between songs but some tracks turned out to be so good they became club anthems, adonis noway back was one. So she is right these boring djs now just play tracks back to back, there should be classics and new tunes thrown in with your set and according to the tunes u play it becomes your style, so she said some great points to this djaying game. Remember, when your passionate about what you do, u will never work a day in your life..FACTS
@Boiler Room, plz start adding playlists to all your clips, we need it, kind regards, the fans
Wow!! What an amazing history lesson!
so insightful from the queen of chicago
mind blowing for me.That audience was a snooze tho. Legit require a record party with this lady.
Oh and never forget when it came to records, we had the best stores out here in nyc, Vinyl Mania which was great cause after a nite in the paradise garge listening to larry u could go to vinyl and they would have the great tunes he played the nite b4, they had the peech boys and there own record company too, also Downtown Records, they had an indoor dj that played all the hot shyt, like ESG moody, Dam honey said we cant live in the past but that was a great time for music and if u were a dj....great tyme
She really knows her stuff
loved this
my favorite dj)
How can they not know green velvet Jesus Christ
clueless
im sure they know about tons of things / things considered classic that you dont know about.
wnkrs they didn’t say yes to any of the people she suggested?
I just mean they're from a different part of the world. I dont' know where you're from but not everyone grows up or listening to all the classic things that europeans or people from the states know. culture is diff everywhere. diversity is cool.. many blessings to you and yours of course.. take care - wnkrs
@@sometimesitstays yes but the fact that they showed up to a discussion about Chicago house and they don’t even know Green Velvet is very bizarre. Like if I signed up to see a panel of people discuss classical music, I should at least know who Beethoven is before going into it.
Such a cool intelligent person 😍
my god, doesn't this crowd FEEL this!?
HONEY 💜
Dope!
this is house head reaserch
Honey Dijon for president!!
We used to go to the club at 11pm and leave the next day around 3pm in NYC. There's nothing like it today. Juliani ruined NYC.
such a beauty
LOVE
Anyone to name every album she played? Cause I didn't heard clearly!
🔥
Love
One of my favourites 1:09:32 in my life. Kisses from Poland, Mama!
good
This audience has no clue.
They should have gotten a better interviewer.
Who is this guy?
Honey Dijon you're a goddess, that was so inspiring and mindblowing
43:25 Track ID please ?
Lil Louis & The World - I Called U
Hi Honey! Don't u mind i'll teach my bonitas on yr lections?
Teaching english
point at 19 minutes about dancing side to side: on the money! don't do that. that shit is boring AF!! you may as well call that anti-dancing or pseudo dancing.
ferst
I did not know she is a transgender
I am shocked at the total lack of response when she said Green Velvet .. and AND Around the World in a Day by Prince?! Are you shitting me ?!! That was my favorite Prince record
