also, the film Downtown 81 , which stars Jean-Michel Basquiat, is a good artifiact because it features performances by Kid Creole and the Coconuts and James White and the Blacks.

This is definitely a good start -- I'd like to see some scholarly sources coming into the picture, too. There's a substantial literature on club cultures and dance music. Here are a few things you might look at:
Fikentscher, Kai. 2000. "You better work!": Underground Dance Music in New York City. Hanover, NH: University Press of New England.
Gilbert, Jeremy and Ewan Pearson. 1999. Discographies: dance music, culture and the politics of sound. New York: Routledge.
Redhead, Steve, Derek Wynne and Justin O'Connor. 1997. The Clubcultures Reader: Readings in Popular Cultural Studies. Oxford: Blackwell Publishers.
Butler, Mark J. 2006. Unlocking the Groove: Rhythm, Meter, and Musical Design in Electronic Dance Music. Bloomington: Indiana University Press.
