Soul Jazz Records presents Voguing: Voguing and the House Ballroom Scene in New York City 1976-1996: “Eight-panel gatefold double disc CD with 20-page booklet and six picture postcards. Includes an exclusive Junior Vasquez mix* With the current groundswell and ubiquity of House music, it’s important to redress the roots and reasons behind such a sprawling scene. This expertly compiled 18-track compilation, Junior Vasquez mix, twenty page booklet and postcard set does just that, documenting New York’s flamboyant Voguing scene 1976-96 by tracing its history from Disco thru House via foundational tracks from Masters At Work, Loose Joints, Armand Van Helden, and Malcolm Maclaren, among others. In recent years the scene has been pushed underground, only to resurface in its most modern manifestation on releases by MikeQ, and heavily referenced by the likes of Kingdom and Bok Bok, combining that crucially catty, c*nty attitude with up-to-date production techniques” See also: Dream Queens: ‘Voguing and the House Ballroom Scene of NYC 1989-92 from Dangerous Minds.
