Submitted by PatrickMcD on June 25, 2015 - 3:15pmCHICAGO – When it comes to how dance music evolved in the last thirty years, there was a ground zero that was launched right here in Chicago.

The late DJ Frankie Knuckles was one of the pioneers, and his legacy eventually reached Paris, where it was discovered and re-invented in fresh and different forms. A new film called “Eden” explores that phenomenon, and it features Félix de Givry as a Paris DJ in the 1990s and 2000s, based on the life of the co-writer of the film, Sven Hansen-Løve.
