A super-excellent animated timeline portraying the evolution of western dance music. Even if it’s not perfectly correct, it’s a damn fine attempt, strangely hosted on a travel company website… why not!

Impressive to see what happens from the start of the 70’s and good to see “Deep House” properly represented in the same general vicinity as “Christian Hymns”.
