24 Hr Party People Tour, the Hacienda lives!
NEW ORDER DJ SET featuring
Peter Hook
with Hacienda original Little Martin
The Hacienda created a revolution in music and was the key-stone of the cult-hit "24 Hour Party People". Peter Hook, New Order and Factory records went to the point of financial disaster funding this club which paved the way to hundreds of musical acts and to the beginning of DJ culture. Join Peter Hook of New Order celebrating 20 years of change and the upcoming release of the Hacienda compiliation.
Peter Hook has found a new way to move the masses -- as a DJ
"I must confess that over my career, I've actually downplayed the importance of DJs," says Peter Hook. "It's such a different art form. Then all of a sudden you try it, and you think, 'Good God, these guys do work.' I used to be very cynical and very blasé about it. I can only apologize."
Holding DJs in disregard is one thing. But such an attitude coming from a man who's partly responsible for the best-selling twelve-inch single of all time? It's downright ironic. And yet New Order's "Blue Monday," the 1983 slab of wax that remains a surefire floor-filler at any club in the world, counts Hook as a creator. As the bassist of New Order and, before that, the majestically doomed Joy Division, he's considered an architect of modern electronic music. And deservedly so: In the late '70s, Joy Division helped pioneer the fusion of punk force and dance beats that continues to inspire legit artists and copycats alike.
