House Music
 

Does anyone listen to House? I listen to it while I study sometimes. I posted this because I'm listening to Demetrie from Paris right now. I like European House the best.:)

Anyone else listen to it?

I do. That was pretty much all I listened to when I was in high school. Now, I listen when I need to chill or hang out (I don't do the club thing much anymore).

I've been listening to a lot of Naked Music (Aquanote, Aya, Lisa Shaw, etc) and OM Records (Soulstice, Gina Rene) recently. They're pretty good.

Aya Strange? I love her. Have you heard Flower?

let me find out you young kids like house....LOL

ol' school for me:

Basement Boys
Masters at Work
Larry Levan
Frankie Knuckles
barbara tucker

and the list goes on.

heh!!

I am the old skool house fanatic...

Jack your body...
Right Back To You... by Ten City
Godfather of House Music...

The Chicago House to the Detroit Progressive... Love it... Good workouts.

I'm totally groooooving to Venga Bailar [Soleil Vert Remix] right now.:cool::p

Woo hoo.:)

my boyfriend listens to house and downloads megabites of it on our computer and that irritates me! what's the pleasure in such music? that even doesnt sound like music but noise/

PB?...:rolleyes:

Hate to bust up this House Party... But the OOOLLLLLDDDD SKOOOOOOLLLLL DC Metro Club just showed up!!! ;)

Cat In the Hat Use To Do Smack...

Run Joe, Run Joe... By the Godfather--Wind Me Up Chuck!!!


Anything by Rare Essence...

Experience Unlimited--yeah, the folks who brought y'all Doing Da Butt...

Yea, I have that album (though I thought it was called Strange Flower). It's still getting heavy rotation on the iPod :p

I'm surprised I haven't heard these artists. I used to live in the Baltimore/DC area and I've been to Chicago more times than I can count. I can't believe this is the first I'm hearing of these artists.

Thanks for pointing them out :D

You are just a youngin' that never knew about the past... LOL... ;) :rolleyes:

Give me progressive, techno and tribal.

Me love some Detroit Techno. Will have to upload some of my mixes, but they're mostly tribal and tech trance.

Some of these artists and their tracks are up on youtube also it's been around for almost 30 years...

Where did you club when you were in the area?

Fantasy/Paradox was the place for house music on Saturday nights.

Odell's was it on Friday nights.

and I think anything else you had to travel north to NYC

One thing I loved about both was that you didnt have to go thru the pretense of 'dressing up' in slacks, dress shoes, shirt and tie just to meet some women...you could just go comfortably because guaranteed you was coming out at 4,5 or 6 am drenched.

You know, now that i think about it...my best friend met his wife there....HAHAHAH!

.......and our other friend met ONE of his babymommas there too...heh!

Roger Sanchez is good

I like Groove Armada the best.

Older Mark Farina stuff, especially out of hi San Franciso days, is golden.

:eek::o:o

lol I'm SO freaking embarrassed. I thought her name was Aya Strange and the Album was called Flower. I've never heard of her until recently. I was with one of my classmates/friends and she was listening to the album. I had to have it so she burned it for me.:o:o

Thanks?:o

any of you familiar with Ultra Nate?

http://www.youtube.com/results?searc...ltra+nate&aq=f

she is local Baltimore talent that is off the hook as far as house music is concerned, very well known in Europe...and to think when we were in high school she was on the choir...hehe!

You will like her!

I mean . . . I'm OK with DS and the rest of the over-the-hill gang digging on house music - after all, the Detroit/Chicago heydays coincided well with their youthful love of the original $10,000 Pyramid and the AMC Gremlin.

But anyone who really likes modern music has great options, ranging from some combination of IDM, Italo, or the "blog house" that has really infused new life into the genre. New stuff from Lemonade, Cut Copy, The Field, Justice, Hercules and Love Affair, and even like M83 . . . not to mention the backward-looking revivalists like Isolee . . . it's a whole new world.

Justice is annoying

Yes, they can't really keep up with Groove Armada releasing the same album every 3 years since 1994.

wow...I need to put u guys down with some classics...whenever you are ready, I will send you some CDs


....if that's not too ol'school for you...

i'm ready

Haha, I have no problem with Detroit house . . . as long as it's the actual rave-up style, and not the watered-down mass-release cassette trash. Hit up mediafire or zshare and I'll gladly download anything I don't already have and give it a listen.

I'm more of a hardstyle/happy hardcore guy myself, but I can dig the house scene.

Check these guys out for great hardstyle:
Brisk and Ham: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayP7nznQmow
Sy and Unknown: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-smfiVx3v4c
Gammer and Cat Knight: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etXEYhSlUgo

Khan (Finnish guy) is good too

If anyone ever gets a chance to listen to Aye, track number 4 is by far the best. That song sold me.

Hmmm...I will send you some links at what I like and tell me what you like and I will try to make a determination of what I can send you...I think our tastes in house may be different.

Oh, yeah, she's good. Here's the kind of house I really like dancing/listening to.http://www.sherv.net/cm/emo/dancing/ipod.gif :p

you and I are in the same ballpark....new sounds with ol' school mid 90s flavor

Before I moved here to go to school I wasn't familiar with house music, at all, but a lot of the radio stations here play it, plus I've gone out with some of my friends/classmates of mine and they got me hooked on it. I'm still learning the artists though.

Deadmau5 is not so good. It's the same loops and melody with different notes.

More of a prog. and tribal house fan myself. Sasha & Digweed, Deep Dish, Gabriel & Dresden

I loved that album. Not into house music at all, but really into "indie electronic" a la chromeo, crystal castles, hot chip, digitalism, etc........

I like those bands you mentioned.

i don't really care for house or techno.

i'm listening to Derrick May's "Strings of Life" right now, though.

I've noticed that as I get older, I view house and jazz more and more simmillarly.

Both have some influences on each other

True. Most of the "acid jazz" that I listen to sounds more like house than jazz.

My bad, I'm just now seeing this.

I never went out to any house clubs while in MD/DC or Chicago.

I did, however, find one of my old URB magazines with a history of Chicago House. Many of the artists in the issue are artists that you and AKA_Monet mentioned, so I'll def be making an effort to check them out now.

BTW...Luv Dancin' a House classicand of course disco....can't say house music without giving props to disco.

^^^ Very true.
