History of House

History of House

History of House, a collaboration between ARIA-nominated DJ Groove Terminator and three-time Grammy®-winners Soweto Gospel Choir, is an exhilarating journey through the history of dance music. 

Take the world’s greatest gospel choir who’ve performed live with stars including Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, Bono, Queen and Celine Dion, add in some funky 70s disco, sprinkle in some 80s pop and then strap in to be schooled in house music, from the mid-80s, through the 90s, to the end of the millennium. Behind the decks is Groove Terminator, one of Australia’s biggest DJs, who’s produced dance music and captivated dancefloors for more than three decades.  

‘As Groove Terminator said ‘If you didn’t come to dance, what are you doing here?’’ - Hi Fi Way

His Australian and US Billboard #1 single ‘Is It Love’ in 2001 rocketed him to international fame, culminating in Gold records and nominations for Best Male Artist at the ARIA Awards. Simon’s considered an elder statesman of the business by his peers both domestically and internationally. Simon’s been working with Ministry of Sound Australia as the Creative Director for their successful national touring Orchestral show in recent years, as well as being head of A+R for the Music Publishing division he co-founded in 2010.
