Sounds Like: Frankie Knuckles, who opened The Warehouse, mixed old disco classics and where old Philly classics by Harold Melvin, Billy Paul and The O'Jays were mixed with upfront disco hits like Martin Circus' "Disco Circus". It was at this legendary club where many of the experiments were tried. It was also where Acid House got its start.Before The Warehouse opened, there had been clubs strictly designed to segregate race. However, The Warehouse did not make any difference between Blacks, Hispanics, or Whites; the main interest was simply music. And the music was as diverse as the clients.
