Everything the corpus holds, in one list. The atlas is space and the Review is time; this is the plain index behind both — every scene, every influence on one, and what is still being written.

83 scenes 7 chapters 103 influences 656 canon records 0 being written

The scenes

A place, a window of years, people, and a reason. Ordered by when the window opens — the gaps between rows are as much a fact about the corpus as the rows.

No scene matches that.

The influences

A force on a room — grouped by facet, which is the kind of force rather than the kind of thing. An influence with no touches is not an omission: some are room-less by ruling and reach you through your shelf instead of the map.

law regulation10

A rule somebody wrote, doing something nobody intended.

industry structure28

How the business was arranged — who could press, ship, or sell.

organization36

A room, a label, a paper, a band that became an institution.

market14

An audience, a demand, or a shortage.

No influence matches that.

Being written

Known gaps, seeded from ruled investigations. They are on this page for the same reason they are on the map: a corpus that hides its queue is claiming to be finished.

Nothing queued matches that.

The machinery

83 scenes · 103 influences · 656 canon records

The corrections the corpus has made in public, the disputes it keeps standing, and what is queued to be written. The scenes and influences themselves are the lists above; this is what happened to them.

Errata & disputes · 244 on record

The corpus corrects itself in public. Corrections first, disputes standing.

CORRECTIONAmha RecordsThe 1948 imperial edict granted publishing and distribution to the Hager Fikir Theatre; officials at that theatre and at the National Theatre had done their best to talk him out of the project, and he later called it foolhardy to have even …CORRECTIONNew York GarageThis sentence corrects the corpus's own earlier claim. The frankie-knuckles page originally said he 'learned the whole method at the Paradise Garage and then left' — chronologically impossible: Knuckles left for Chicago in 1977 and the …CORRECTIONNorth South DivideThis is the correction that matters most for the corpus, because the only membership list written down anywhere else is Neil Morton's of April 2008 and Morton was Wireblock's. In 2006 his label is a promise at the end of the stock list. …CORRECTIONSub PopThis is the correction the page owes its nomination, which offered the word as the corpus's first contemporaneous coinage. It is not a coinage. Mark Arm used it of a Seattle band in 1981, in fake hate mail about his own group sent to a …CORRECTIONThe Annotated ReissueThe commission context and two prior commissions attributed this compilation to Strut. Wikipedia, the corpus's own library and the retail record all give Soundway. The correction matters twice: it puts the window's opening and closing …CORRECTIONThe Electrifying MojoWITHDRAWN AND REPLACED 2026-08-21, on the owner's ruling. This footnote used to claim the founders did not learn Kraftwerk from Mojo, and it was wrong on the testimony of the founder it is about. Asked in Rolling Stone whether he was …CORRECTIONThe Mid-Town CounterThe German entry on the Frankfurt label states it directly. The record is named here as the transmission object, the thing that moved between the two cities when no person did. There is a related question this page deliberately does not …DISPUTE4ADThis is the strongest of the three separators and the one the whole canon-building claim leans on, so both halves are marked. The authorship half matters more than the chart figure: a label head who selects the songs and casts his own …DISPUTE4ADThe two are 'Terror Couple Kill Colonel', 2 June 1980, and 'Telegram Sam', 1 December 1980, both on 4AD. The first draft named 'Dark Entries' as one of the pair, which contradicted footnote 1 on this same page: ref 7 puts Dark Entries …DISPUTEAfrotainmentTira dates meeting Sox and co-hosting to around 2002, with Fresh and Oskido among the imports; HDS dates the Durban's Finest name and its three compilations to 2005, alongside the 2005 Kalawa Jazmee release Woze Durban. The 2002/2005 …DISPUTEAfrotainmentZozo (2006, Gallo Records/Why Not Entertainment) was a commercial disappointment; 2nd Round Knockout (2008, Afrotainment) sold over 20,000 copies; Undisputed (2009) went platinum.DISPUTEBacardi HouseTownship Funk was released in 2008 under DJ Mujava's name and co-produced by Spoko, went out on Warp, was featured on BBC Radio 1's Worldwide in July 2008 and crossed into UK dance. The credit is the point rather than a dispute to …DISPUTEBacardi HouseThe dispute is real and is not settled here. The Sound Atlas places amapiano's emergence in the townships of Johannesburg and Pretoria together rather than choosing between them, which is the honest state of it. What no source consulted …DISPUTEBacardi HouseThe record that carries both names is the I.M.I. EP, and its year is unsettled. This scene dates it to 2013; the only copy anyone can now play is dated 2016. Both were checked on 4 August 2026. The album on the streaming service drops the …DISPUTEBakersfield Honky-Tonk CircuitStated of the 1953 Capitol single by Jean Shepard with Ferlin Husky. The claim is standard across the literature on the scene and no source consulted here contests it, though none of them itemises the session personnel, which is what would …DISPUTEBig Apple AxisThe move year is contested and deliberately not printed: Kode9's periodization puts the Velvet Rooms era at 2001-03, while Museum of Youth Culture and DJ Mag both print a 2005 move. An Ammunition flyer or Martin Clark's contemporaneous …DISPUTEBig Apple AxisThe seed's 'Sign of the Dub' is a slip; the record is 'Sine of the Dub'. The catalogue-number claim (BAR001) is not printed, and is refuted rather than merely unsourced: the cited Wikipedia release table gives BAM001 for 'Red'. Hyperdub's …DISPUTEBig Apple AxisThe first night's exact date is unsettled and not printed: Museum of Youth Culture gives 5 March 2005, Mala has said January 2005, and DJ Mag places the night's start at Brixton Mass in 2004 — possibly a soft launch versus a first billed …DISPUTEBlå's klubbkonsepterThe venue files the concept under Klubbkonsepter in its own breadcrumb and heads the entry with the start month, which is the operation this whole page is about. The dates below it run from Lørdag 24. mars to 15.september 2007 and are the …DISPUTEBosstown AtlantaThe third of the three joint ventures, and the one that shows the pattern most plainly: Dupri's company sold distribution and roster equity to a New York major, and Dupri kept the studio. Xscape matters later on the page because two of its …DISPUTEBosstown AtlantaThe single best artifact for the circulation argument, because the five rooms have five different kinds of owner: a singer, an advertising business, a footballer, an unattributed commercial room and a label co-founder's back garden. Purple …DISPUTEBosstown AtlantaThe anchor test, passing. A Columbia act from Houston travelled to a room in Atlanta owned by a man who ran a different label, to work with writers formed at a third. The article dates the sessions to December 1998 and lists the two …DISPUTEBronx Park JamsThe commissioning research had this club on Webster Avenue; it was on Jerome. Webster Avenue's actual anchor is the Police Athletic League hall, which is a different room and is treated as one in the story. The club ran 1976-1986, the …DISPUTEBronx Park JamsIntergalactic Studio, Arthur Baker producing, John Robie on Micromoog and Prophet-5, Tommy Boy releasing. The Roland was hired rather than owned, from a Village Voice advertisement quoted verbatim in the story. Release date is contested …DISPUTEBrooklyn DIYVice signed an eight-year lease in summer 2014 on 49 South 2nd Street and 285 Kent Avenue, two adjacent buildings, with a move-in expected in early 2015; Death By Audio occupied 49 South 2nd Street. The tax credit was $6.5m through New …DISPUTECASM AdelaideAll retrospective — no period document seen for this page carries the British tour at all. Double J (2023) dates it to 1984 and says so twice, on the tour and on the documentary shot during it. The NFSA curator note and the Wikipedia …DISPUTECamden–Soho Jazz RoomsThe jazz room was Boo Mehmet and Colin Parnell's Jazzifunk partnership first; Murphy inherited the Friday shift when Mehmet left. THE SOURCES DISAGREE ON WHOSE NAME THE NIGHTS CARRY (reading pass, 2026-08-31): King credits the …DISPUTECamden–Soho Jazz RoomsKing, in London that summer, dates the exit to July; Greg Wilson dates it to 1986 and gives its weight; Webster's verdict is quoted by King from The Wire. The wage dispute is also the evidence that the nights paid wages at all — the close …DISPUTEChampeta CriollaThe word is documented as an elite label for residents of Cartagena's poorer, mostly Afro-descended outer districts by the 1920s, carrying vulgarity, poverty and Blackness together. The music that inherited it does not appear for another …DISPUTEChampeta CriollaThe name is agreed and the man is not. FUKAFRA's account comes from an interview with César Hernández, son of the picó's owner Concepción 'Conce' Hernández: Conce's nephew Alfonso Navarro did his military service, was sent to the Korean …DISPUTEChampeta CriollaSoundway's own page — the page this citation resolves to — prints 'released August 10, 2009' for Palenque Palenque, twenty-one sides recorded between 1975 and 1991, co-compiled by Lucas Silva of Palenque Records and Soundway's Miles …DISPUTEClubcommission BerlinTwo counts by the same association, two years and two methods apart, and they are routinely merged. The 46 per cent comes from a members' survey reported on 13 November 2024, which also says the figure had doubled since a February poll. …DISPUTEDa BassmentFall 1994 taken over Darryl Pearson's 'about 1995', cited here as the dissent: Smoke's account is anchored to his own high-school graduation after the March recall, and Jodeci's third album, recorded at Dajhelon after the move, shipped in …DISPUTEDais RecordsThe mechanism and the founding condition are the same event. Martin held the job of archivist to Genesis P-Orridge in New York and found the reel and the acetate inside that archive; the label was then built around releasing them. Dais's …DISPUTEDais RecordsDay-precise from the label's own product page. The remaster credit differs by source and the story follows Dais: Bonati remastering, McDowall and Thighpaulsandra supervising, where Wikipedia says McDowall remastered it. Both men are …DISPUTEDeliriumThis narrows a claim the corpus was asked to carry flat. Sullivan writes pure House music policy without qualification, and that phrasing has travelled. Two independent sources qualify it the same way: the DJ who set the policy calls it …DISPUTEDeliriumThe supply mechanism, from the writer who was buying out of the same channel to stock a rival club.DISPUTEDelirium (Frankfurt)The city wiki names DJ Olaf and Marc Deiniger, the year, the street number and the relation to the Frankfurt chain. The same article's opening sentence dates the shop '1995 to the mid-2000s', which contradicts its own next sentence; the …DISPUTEDowntown Wheels of SteelVillage Preservation places the club at 181 2nd Avenue and gives the room and its size. The capacity is contested by the promoter herself, who puts Negril at about 400 and the Roxy at about 3,000 where the researchers give 200 and 4,000; …DISPUTEDurban KwaitoGagasi first broadcast on 13 March 2006 on 99.5 in Durban and 98.5 in Pietermaritzburg, licensed to KwaZulu-Natal, and claims to be the only English-and-Zulu station in the country. The format is listed as R&B, Afro pop, hip hop, house and …DISPUTEDurban KwaitoThe sources disagree about the group's geography and the disagreement is worth keeping, because the whole argument for this being a scene rests on artists moving toward Durban rather than away from it. The investigation that seeded this …DISPUTEDurban KwaitoThe seeded investigation tested the parentage hypothesis and came back with a split answer, which the two sources cited here carry between them. For the connection: gqom producers describe working directly off kwaito, and Menchess of …DISPUTEEast NashvilleThe essay — read via its archive capture at the 2026-08-17 re-read, and dated 5 December 2024 — interviews displaced musicians and quotes a 2023 Census arrival figure of roughly 86 a day. It carries NO demolition-permit count and NO resale …DISPUTEEast NashvilleThe sentence this replaces had NPR counting the sidemen shared between Simpson's band and Isbell's. It counted nothing of the kind. NPR's 2014 visit is a rock story — Andrija Tokic's Bomb Shelter, the Ettes, Clear Plastic Masks, Ranch …DISPUTEEglo RecordsThe label says 2009, Wikipedia says late 2008, and both are probably right about different things — a partnership formed late in one year and a record in the shops early the next. The window opens on the record.DISPUTEEskimo RecordingsThis is the hinge of the page and it comes from the label's own about text, which is a self-source and is used only for release facts. It matters because it dates the change Eskimo had already made before Oslo arrived: a room that had …DISPUTEEskimo RecordingsResident Advisor announced the release on 1 May 2007 and printed the full tracklist, which is where the Czukay track and the Salsoul Invention edit credited to Dølle Jølle are found. Two dates exist for the release and both are recorded …DISPUTEEthio-jazzThe edict dates to 1948 and gave music publishing and distribution to the Hager Fikir Theatre, granted by the Emperor after his return from exile because the association had taken no government subsidy. The striking part is the output: …DISPUTEFireside BowlCounted by hand from two archived copies of the booker's own calendar and stated as what it is: a count of ADVERTISED forward bills in a snapshot, not a census of shows played, and the two windows were chosen because both cover June and …DISPUTEFireside BowlIncluded because it is the difference between a closure and a reversion. The 2010 return was a trial run of summer shows in a renovated space, and the licence file shows no interruption across the gap.DISPUTEFrankfurt TechnoTomalla's shop section is dated 1982 in hessenschau's account, from Tomalla himself, and 1983 in the German Wikipedia entry as this page was drafted — the entry has since moved to 1984. Both put it years before Detroit's records carried …DISPUTEFrankie KnucklesThe dispute is between Knuckles' own accounts and everyone else's. In his interviews he consistently describes problem-solving — the edits, the drum machine under the record — as a working DJ's fixes; the inventor framing belongs to the …DISPUTEGagasi FM13 March 2006 is day-precise on both the station's own history page and Wikipedia. The bilingual line is the station's own claim, and the two sources scope it differently; this page keeps the narrower provincial version.DISPUTEGagasi FMThe supply chain arrived after the format. The two Wikipedia pages disagree by a year on when Big Nuz signed, so the story asserts only the label's founding year here and the album year below.DISPUTEGagasi FMGqom is treated here as downstream of the audience, not as this page's scene; Durban producers themselves dispute how much kwaito was around the townships, so the parentage is stated as lineage, not consensus.DISPUTEGhana Film SoundThe second leg of the mechanism, and the one that makes the ownership claim more than rhetoric: the stampers were in the country and they were privately Ghanaian-owned. The label dating matters and is contested — obituary sources put …DISPUTEGqomThere is no first release to point at, and that absence is the scene's own condition rather than a gap in the research. Durban producers name Naked Boyz' broken-beat tracks as the thing they heard and copied, 'Ithoyizi' above all; DJ Lag …DISPUTEHMV Shibuya's domestic shelfThe tidy version credits one named HMV buyer with coining 'Shibuya-kei' and fixing it above a section. Accounts disagree on who, and the word surfaces in shop usage and in the music press across roughly the same stretch rather than at one …DISPUTEHard WaxJürgen Laarmann edited Frontpage through these years and wrote this account for Red Bull Music Academy in 2018. He records that new sounds and brand new records arrived every week, and writes that it was here that every self-respecting DJ …DISPUTEIain BurgessTwo sources of different kinds, and the difference matters. Albini supplies the period detail from the customer's side: the three buildings, the jingle-and-voiceover business and the hourly rate, none of it dated by him. The encyclopaedia …DISPUTEInfloContested on both sides and unresolved. These are pleadings, not findings, and the page states them as such. The £1.7m total is reported as three advances of £1m, £500,000 and £200,000. Two facts do not depend on who wins: the show was …DISPUTEInto Somethin'Three sources close the series in 2003 and one closes it in 2004. The lexicon's series entry says 1991 to about 2003; its entry on Thönnessen gives 1991-2003 flat; Reinboth in 2023 says over twelve years, which from October 1991 lands in …DISPUTEInto Somethin'The strongest chain on the page, because the label's founder makes it himself twice, eight years apart, to two different German magazines. Faze in 2015 supplies the mechanism rather than the tribute: Trüby guested and handed over a …DISPUTEInto Somethin'Fröhlich tells the succession himself and dates his own tenure; the successor shop's name comes from a different interview's introduction, which is the only place I found it written down. Two things stay open. Fröhlich does not say the …DISPUTEIstanbul 45'lik NetworkThe Turkish Wikipedia article on the Milliyet Türkiye Liselerarası Müzik ve Halk Oyunları Yarışması states that Altın Mikrofon spurred Milliyet, the biggest rival of the day, into action, and that the contest launched in 1967. It records …DISPUTEIstanbul 45'lik NetworkThe Turkish article states that Karaca's group came second in the contest with 'Emrah'. The English article gives the sequence Apaşlar in 1967, Kardaşlar in 1969, Moğollar in 1972, Dervişan in 1974 and Edirdahan in 1978, and calls 'Emrah' …DISPUTEIstanbul 45'lik NetworkThe English Wikipedia article states that in 1968 the group won third place in the contest. The song is given elsewhere as 'Kaleden Kaleye Şahin Uçurdum'.DISPUTEIstanbul 45'lik NetworkTwo things support the narrower reading. The contest's own first prize, from 1965 onward, was a record plus a job in a gazino, which places the gazino at the end of the pipeline rather than at its head. And scholarship on the Istanbul …DISPUTEIstanbul 45'lik NetworkThe Milliyet contest ran from 1967 to 2000, with the last documented event in 1999. Hürriyet's ended as an annual event after 1968.DISPUTEJ DillaThis is the membership call, and it corrects the nomination that commissioned this entry. The nomination has him never setting foot in one of these rooms; the lecture, built on a decade of research and interviews, records a passing visit …DISPUTEJ DillaThe album entry marks its own studio field disputed and states both accounts. On one side: equipment carried into Cedars-Sinai, a portable turntable and an SP-303, and a magazine claim that twenty-nine of the thirty-one tracks were …DISPUTEJack EndinoDay-precise, so it is cited rather than asserted. LiveNIRVANA's sessions history dates and prices the session; the six hours is the log's own estimate of time in the room, not a billed figure, and the $152.44 is what the session cost. Two …DISPUTEJazid's Bedroom GroovesThe competition's own announcement, written by the club for the second edition and archived in March 2001, is the source for every number here and for the founding month. It disagrees with the press on the year of the win: Aftenposten in …DISPUTEJersey GarageThe 1982 start is consistent across accounts; the quote is Humphries describing his own thinking on arrival, as given in the Splice history.DISPUTEJungleThe reach figure and the roofs come from two different kinds of source and agree. The reference account of UK pirate radio states that by the 1980s FM transmitters could be had reasonably cheaply with the ability to transmit over a …DISPUTEJungle'Incredible' came out on Renk in 1994; the remixed version reached number eight on the UK singles chart. The dispute is recorded as a dispute rather than as a fact: the source says Levy reportedly made comments in the media that he was …DISPUTEKNAC "Pure Rock" 105.5Held at the strength its sources hold it, and no harder. The superlative is the station's own, carried by its hall-of-fame entry; the encyclopaedia article states a narrower version of it. The trade of the week describes the same change as …DISPUTEKensal Road–Notting Hill Studio CircuitIG Culture dates the night himself, which is why the page does not follow the accounts that push it into the late 1990s. The move to Plastic People is the unresolved part: his interviewer says the Velvet Rooms period was the first two …DISPUTEKingston Lawn DanceTwo documents, and the second sentence of this paragraph is now the only thing either of them supports. Yaawd Media dates the movement into the city to the end of the war in 1945 and puts the arrivals between Western and downtown Kingston. …DISPUTEKingston Lawn DanceDavid Katz has Dodd buying a fresh batch of American rhythm and blues on his first trip to the States in 1953, after seasonal farm work. Yaawd Media has the same trip sending money home to his mother for speaker boxes and an amplifier. …DISPUTEKingston Lawn DanceYaawd Media has the practice: it was not uncommon for a sound to remove the label from a new record to prevent an opponent gleaning its source. Heather Augustyn has what it cost to defeat, in the Gleaner passage she reprints. Dodd had …DISPUTEKool FMThe date is not in dispute: 28 November 1991, given the same way by the encyclopaedia entry and by Eastman himself. The place is given two ways. The entry has the station starting on 94.5FM from Clapton, in north-east London; Eastman says …DISPUTEKool FMTwo different kinds of statement, and neither is a measurement. The encyclopaedia entry reports a consensus — that Kool is generally regarded as instrumental in the development of the jungle scene — which is a claim about what people say …DISPUTEKrautrockNobody agrees on the coinage. Cope treats the term as English music-press slang already in circulation by 1972; Stubbs surveys rival origin claims — including the bands' own joke, Amon Düül's 'Mama Düül und ihre Sauerkrautband', which …DISPUTEKrautrockStubbs documents La Düsseldorf as a commercial success in West Germany on a scale NEU! never reached, and Rother's solo run alongside it. Exact figures are label lore and the corpus does not repeat them; the direction is not in dispute, …DISPUTEKwaitoTrompies is dated to 1995 on its own page; Soweto is the origin field there and the place the members grew up together, rather than a statement that the group formed in the township, and the story now says only what the page says. The …DISPUTEKwaitoThe station's own article disagrees with itself. The opening line has it established in 1997 and formatted to play mostly urban genres including kwaito; the history section has it starting to broadcast in 1995 from the inner-city suburb of …DISPUTELA Beat SceneLAist reported that Low End Theory parted ways with The Gaslamp Killer in October 2017 after a woman alleged publicly that he had drugged and sexually assaulted her and a friend around four years earlier; he denied the account and disputed …DISPUTELagos Afro-RockIkonne places the Funkees in the war-torn east beside the Hykkers, and says Lagos itself went untouched by the fighting. The brigade-band story belongs to a different group: the 13th Brigade's commander put Renny Pearl's musicians on …DISPUTELast RitesFrom the editorial signed SEAN in the premier issue, in a passage listing bands whose stated positions he endorsed. It is here only because of what he did next, and the page draws the two facts alongside each other rather than claiming a …DISPUTELast RitesThe word second is the compiler's own, from the liner notes reproduced on the entry, which also fixes what came first: the zine's entry lists a 1983 Wisconsin compilation of 41 songs under the name Dairyland, while the Code Blue review on …DISPUTELea Valley GrimeThe refusal is contemporaneous and it is on the record twice: an interview in October 2003 and a single released on 5 April 2004 that puts the question in its title without answering it. A television documentary was commissioned around the …DISPUTELeathür RecordsThe session, the engineer and the room come from the album's article; the self-production and the November 10 date come from the band's. The count is the number to hold loosely: the collectors' history gives nine hundred and says …DISPUTELeathür RecordsThree accounts, and they do not say the same thing. The band's own article calls Leathür 'its own record label' and says nothing about the manager. The label's own article says it 'was also owned by their original manager Allan Coffman', …DISPUTELeathür RecordsThe deal itself is uncontested and is named in the trade's own words in two places: Greenworld manufactures and distributes under an exclusive licence, the band keeps the masters. The date is not equally well held. The two encyclopedia …DISPUTELeathür RecordsThe two-signature account is the collectors' history's, and it is the detail that makes the p&d deal visible: the band could sell its own masters, but the manufacturing licence was somebody else's to hand over. A DATE CONFLICT, recorded …DISPUTELeathür RecordsBoth articles agree on the succession and describe it slightly differently. The label's article says Greenworld renamed the division supporting the project and counts Too Fast for Love as the first official Enigma release. Enigma's own …DISPUTELeimert Park VillageTwo sources because the two halves do different work. The organisation's own page carries the founding and the founders; Alta carries only the storefront inside the Brockman complex — it never uses the words rent, lease or tenant, and no …DISPUTELondon GarageNelson made it with his cousin Dave Thackaray and Si Firmin in a basement under a kebab shop; George Power, formerly of Kiss FM, put up the money and took a founder's share. Nelson left around 1995 after a financial dispute with Power and …DISPUTELong Island Bar CircuitTwo sources give the rate and they disagree slightly on how the night was divided: the Hall of Fame page says four shows a night, the Wikipedia article says five 40-minute shows. Both describe the same job and the discrepancy is not …DISPUTELow End TheoryThis is the page's mechanism and it rests on three residents and regulars describing the same thing from different positions. Nobody has the beats arriving from the crowd; Shlohmo has what a record at home cannot supply; Daedelus states …DISPUTEMahraganatThe sources disagree about the first year and about the fourth name.

Both are in play and nothing on this page rests on the …DISPUTEManchester Midweek RoomsThe 3 December 1984 flyer is the earliest dated artefact anyone has produced for the room, and the promoters of the 2011 reunion independently say 1984/1985.

No independent adjudicator is cited by anyone, so the page reports it as a claim and not …DISPUTEMunich Off-Night CircuitTwo sources that do not depend on each other for the same night, and they disagree by a season on the start. The lexicon's entry on Keller dates the team from 1993 and gives both rooms and both names for the night; Keller himself, in the …DISPUTEMunich Off-Night CircuitThe start year is open by one: the lexicon says about 1994, and the sleeve notes of the night's own 2007 compilation say 1993. Both are the crew's own record or close to it, and neither is better sourced than the other, so the page writes …DISPUTEMunich Off-Night CircuitTwo independent sources, one of them local rather than the biography, which is why the address can be stated. The claim the page does not make is that this room was part of the jazz-dance programme: it was a house club, and the crew's own …DISPUTEMunich Off-Night CircuitThe lexicon entry used here was last edited in September 2005, inside the window, which is unusual for anything in this file. It disagrees with the Keller entry on one number: it puts Weissenfeldt's Atomic Café residency on every sixth …DISPUTEMunich Off-Night CircuitTaken from Appel's own label biography, published by a Berlin label, which names the band he is best known for and the partner he made records with and gives neither man a city. Whether Appel and Prommer lived in Munich through the window …DISPUTEMunich Off-Night CircuitThe precursor rooms are dated so they can be kept outside the window. The 2013 feature puts Keller behind the Wunderbar's decks in 1986 and dates the trio's joint work from 1991, which agrees with Keller's own interview and with the …DISPUTENew York PunkThe word predates the scene and the coinage is contested. 'Punk rock' appears in early-seventies rock criticism — Dave Marsh's 1971 Creem piece on ? and the Mysterians is the usual first citation, with Lester Bangs' garage-rock essays …DISPUTENewbury ComicsTim Yohannan's review in Maximum Rocknroll #18, October 1984, written as a list of one-line reactions. Two of them are used: the prediction about musicianization, and his closing observation that he had avoided naming the genre.

It is a single source and a first-person one, told in 2020 about 1981, with no licence record or police record checked against it. It also contradicts a flat reading of …DISPUTEOzKezdy again, writing in 1981, which makes this the rare Oz claim recorded within months of the event rather than decades after.

A drafter quoting only the first half would overstate the case; the cartridge price is the number that actually makes the argument, …DISPUTEProject BlowedThe precursor room, and outside this page's window by the corpus's precursor rule — it is here because the rules and the crowd are what moved, not because the Good Life is part of Project Blowed. The same article carries the room's close …DISPUTEProject BlowedDAY-PRECISE AND CONTESTED, so both sides are filed.

It is also a different question: TR Love is listing rooms an act could perform in, while Bryson is …DISPUTERoland SP-404Two of the three documents here are the manufacturers' own copy for the products they describe, which is the right kind of page for a specification and the wrong kind for anything else; they are cited for specifications only. Roland's …DISPUTERoland SP-404Half of this claim is an absence, so it is worth saying how the absence was established: the word microphone does not occur anywhere on the SP-303's specifications page, and that page's power supply entry reads “AC Adaptor: 120/230 V …DISPUTERoland SP-404Both documents that name the record hedge, and the page keeps the hedge rather than smoothing it: the encyclopaedia says “purportedly” and the gear history says “may hold the distinction”. Neither carries a statement from Jneiro Jarel, and …DISPUTERoland SP-404This is the fact that narrows the commission's claim, so it is cited to two documents that disagree about nothing.

Steve Albini, who made records in the room, describes the same arrangement from outside it and adds the part Burgess left out: the ad agencies …DISPUTERuthless ChicagoThe date is the boundary that decides this page's central correction, so it is marked structural: the zine is two years younger than Busted at Oz, which is why the circuit named after it is treated as this formation's press layer and not …DISPUTERuthless RecordsEverything on this page about what the label was rests here, so where the evidence comes from matters more than how much of it there is.

The Crispy Crust shop in Englewood still carries a plaque about it. …DISPUTESugar Hill RecordsUncontested across every source fetched, including the two that are otherwise friendliest to the label. Billboard and Wikipedia give different legal names for Caz, so the page uses the stage name only and the discrepancy is flagged for a …DISPUTESugar Hill RecordsThe judgment figure needs care and is the reason this note is long.

Both dates are stated and neither is reconciled. No Ruffhouse release …DISPUTEThe Callowhill Night ShiftThe window closes here because the ownership changes while the room does not. Discogs dates every pressing to 1990; the Inquirer dates the release to 1989, and that disagreement is carried in the footnote above rather than resolved.DISPUTEThe Container CounterA retrospective account by a participant in the city's hardcore scene.

The destruction of Nigerphone comes from the Now-Again feature and is …DISPUTEThe Exile CircuitThe Blue Nile is a precursor room and not a member of this scene: it opens four years before the window and it is a restaurant rather than the licensed music economy the window is about. It is here because it seeded the crowd. Its street …DISPUTEThe Exile CircuitThe most useful correction this page makes to its own dossier, which had the Washington decade producing nothing and the breakthrough happening entirely in London. Omega Recording Studios is a Rockville, Maryland room, and it is credited …DISPUTEThe Exile CircuitThis wave could reasonably be cut out as its own formation: different repertory, different payroll, institutional bookings rather than club nights. It is folded in here because it lands inside the window and works the same rooms, and a …DISPUTEThe Exile CircuitThe seed for this scene inherited the 1987 date as its one dated close-shaped event, and it is a decade wrong at the source.

The percentages are the memorandum's, …DISPUTEThe PicóA decade apart, and the window opens on the earlier because it is the one carrying names and a price. Quoting the Spanish encyclopaedia's own list, from the journalist Marco T. Barros Ariza: 'El de Félix Ruíz, quien era peluquero y vivía …DISPUTEThe PicóThe word is piconema and the encyclopaedia entry attributes its coinage to the cultural promoter Antonio Escobar Duque of Calamar. Its definition makes the naming a consequence of the concealment rather than a separate custom: the owners …DISPUTEThe PicóThis is the hinge of the page and it rests on one document, which is worth saying plainly. The Spanish encyclopaedia entry gives the cause, the date, the producer, the picó, the label and the first title in a single passage, and cites it …DISPUTEThe PicóThe single clearest instance of the mechanism, and it comes from the compilation feature rather than from a history. Bandcamp Daily has the South African side as a signature record of one picó, and a rival's contracted musicians …DISPUTEThe PicóThree different kinds of export, kept apart on purpose. The machines themselves are built to order for foreign buyers, and the Spanish entry lists Germany, Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Spain, the United States, Finland, …DISPUTEThe Poets of RhythmThe motive is the band's own biography and is a party's account of its own contract; no label statement or document was found on the other side, and none is claimed. What is independent is the count.

It is also the entry that disagrees with the Keller entry by one Saturday: it puts Weissenfeldt's Atomic Café residency on every …DISPUTEThe RocketThis is the page's main correction. The popular version, repeated by Cross in The Seattle Times, has Nirvana forming through the classifieds; Peter Blecha's HistoryLink essay works from the issue itself, cites page 36 of the May 1988 …DISPUTEThe RocketThe issue count is not settled: The Seattle Times and KUOW both say 336, KNKX says 333. The page uses 336 and flags the disagreement rather than splitting it. The clipping detail matters to the argument — the pages collectors destroyed …DISPUTEThe Rubadub Shop FloorThe date, 7 July 2007, is a website launch and the label treats it as its birthday. The design half is not decoration: it is how the two poles differ in trade — one worked in distribution, the other in art direction. That the design work …DISPUTEThe Seattle Tavern CircuitUNVERIFIED AND DELIBERATELY NOT ASSERTED AS A RATE CARD. The figure is division: $606.17 over thirty hours is $20.21. No published rate sheet for the Ballard room was located at commission.

The two dates do different work. Arm's letter is the earliest recorded use for a Seattle band and predates every …DISPUTEThe Seattle Tavern CircuitThe studio's own narrative history gives August 1991, from the account built around Hanzsek's own testimony, and the stated reason is quoted from it.

The two dates are not in conflict, and both are correct about different things. VICE's account is dated 2003 and sourced to a New York Times report from that year, and …DISPUTEThe StarwoodThe seven-club count is Wikipedia's list, and its phrasing that the clubs were pitched at different audiences is what makes it a portfolio rather than a chain. 'Dozens' appears in the police account, which is broader than the named list; …DISPUTEThe StarwoodThe fire and the demolition are the one place this page's sources disagree and nobody has settled it. Ref 0 puts the fire in May 1982, before a scheduled demolition, with the structure torn down afterwards and a mini-mall built. Ref 2 says …DISPUTEThe Teen Dance OrdinanceThe chapter regulated dances and did not say what a dance was. The Law Department's position was that concerts were outside its scope; the police treated dancing in a concert audience as enough to make the whole event a dance, and …DISPUTEThe Wag ClubDorrell's account twice, in two outlets, consistent on origin and destination; Sullivan's account agrees against his own interest on who owned the night.

They are used here in preference to the better-known lists compiled in London afterwards, because the provenance is different in kind: a resident naming his own selections, …DISPUTEThe sequencerThe West Berlin exemption's page argues the long form is manufactured time, audible. This page argues it is an abolished cadence, looped.

The Trax entry gives the purchase: Musical Products, a pressing plant in Bridgeport, Illinois, bought in 1983 by a man frustrated at the range of records he …DISPUTETrax RecordsEvery number here is the lawsuit's account as the source reports it, not a finding of fact, and the story says so by attributing it to the filing. The source also records that Trax asserts and Heard admits he signed a contract assigning …DISPUTETrax RecordsHEADLINE, because it is the one thing the research went looking for and did not find. The source carries the recycled vinyl only as part of a criticism of Sherman — poor-quality pressings, partially due to the use of recycled vinyl — and …DISPUTETrax RecordsBoth artists' positions come from the same paragraph, and the paragraph contradicts itself two sentences later, which is why the story reports the dispute instead of resolving it: it records Knuckles distancing himself, then records …DISPUTETrax RecordsSTRUCTURAL, and the reason this page's consequential window closes at 1991. The cause matters as much as the year: the source attributes the failure to the receivables side, not to the royalty disputes. It is the only sourced statement of …DISPUTEWBAB Homegrown HourTwo sources, and the join between them is the page's own. The Hall of Fame biography does not mention the Homegrown programme at all, and is cited only for the arrival year and the station's standing; the credit is cited only from the …DISPUTEWBAB Homegrown HourTHE NOMINATION'S SECOND CLAIM DOES NOT HOLD, AND THIS FOOTNOTE IS WHY. The commission was opened on a description of a programme that recorded circuit acts live in the rooms. Nothing consulted supports it. The encyclopedia's album article …DISPUTEWBAB Homegrown HourStructural, because the close of the consequential window is dated to it. The year is genuinely contested and both readings are recorded: the encyclopedia article dates the record to 1984, the release itself carries a 1983 copyright line, …DISPUTEX-Claim!The founding attribution is the contested one and is therefore carried by three separate sources rather than one. The label's own site says Barile started it. A Boston music paper's obituary calls it his label and gives the thirty-five …DISPUTEX-Claim!Given its own footnote because it is the physical evidence for the claim above and does not depend on anyone's memory: it is an observation about the objects, made by an interviewer holding them, and put to the person who made one of them …DISPUTEX-Claim!This is what closes the existed window at 1998 rather than 1983, so it is marked structural. The three titles are He Will Come, Scissor and Silent Movie Type, all carrying the mark, catalogued 9407-2, 9606-2 and 9809-2 — a numbering scheme …DISPUTEYorkshire BleepThe single was released on Warp in July 1990 and peaked at 12.
