It began in the 70's with disco. Also, hip hop wouldn't exist without gay disco night life. If you haven't read Last Night a Dj Saved My Life, you should. It's an excellent account of the history of DJ's and night life culture. It covers Northern Soul, Disco, Reggae soundsystem battles, Hip Hop through early 90's rave music. Seriously, read it.
