House music

Vlad, welcome back by the way!

if I recall correctly you are a house music guru? That right?

If so, can you post some decent playlist links/suggestions? I’m on a house flow currently.

PS- not exclusive question to Vlad, if anyone’s got some sweet recommendations would be appreciated.

Cheers in advance.

Giles Peterson had a Larry heard special on 6 music, first broadcast on the 7th of July I think. I’ve been listening and it’s worth checking out.

Thx for the kind words but far from a guru haha.

What sort of mood of house you're after?

 

[Deleted member 160668]

I literally walked everywhere with 50+ CDs on me at all times. I would spend 10-15min each day before leaving the house to carefully select what music I'll be listening during the day. You kids will never know!

I presume late 90s house is different to mid/late 80s house...and which one would be classed as “old school”?

 

[Vladimir]

Gene Farris ‎- Booked 002 (2001) - This was the more beachy fresh sexy house of the late 90s, that played during the day or early evenings. Still bit more rooted in old-school house with its poppy and singy compositions than its contemporary version. More soft ambient techno elements get incorporated today, more deconstructed sampling. - Example Feeling Happy ' Stay See Summer Mix (2015).

The 80's and possibly the early 90's.

After the mid 90's and the influence coming from Detroit (Derick May), Chicago (Plastikman) and London (Mr. C), house fused with techno to form the popular subgenre of tech-house, which had the most exciting music and drug scene of all the house genre, possibly on par with trance but with better looking women. There was tribal influence at some point, some bossa, lots of idiosyncrasies, but the base formula was tech-house, much harder and faster energy than old-skool house that came out of the inner city gay disco club scene. You didn't come out looking and smelling fabulous after a tech-house party ending at 8am.

Try the Andrea Martini podcast I linked, I think you'll like it. Currently relistening it via my 1995 production AKG K280 Parabolic. Headphones with line array drivers (2+2), a mini scale of a concert PA system. They go very very loud with pounding bass and little distortion. A sign of times to come.

And now the 90s house sound is popular again! See here: Bicep mix

If you like bassy house: Zinc - May 2018 mix

Craig Richards is always good: Craig Richards - Sonar 2017

 

[Vladimir]

Sonar produced some of my personal fav live mixes. Old Aphex Twin and Luke Vibert bootlegs from Sonar were epic. I still have some stuff recorded on old cassettes from Energy FM, London Pirate radio station, Frequency FM, Kiss FM, unknown DJ gigs... Sound quality is really poor, otherwise I'd digitize them for Soundcloud.

I forgot to mention, before the discman, I used a walkman and carried arround a bunch of cassettes everywhere with me. I bought Firestarter on cassette. Feck I'm old!

Thx Joe, I'm already enjoying Bicep's Synthol. Has some 90's synthy bits at the begining.

Everyone who buys their children gaming PCs or Playstation, Xboxes etc. need to be beaten with a stick and sent to prison labor camps.

Buy a pair of turntables! This guy knows.

 

[Joe Cox]

Would love to hear some of those tapes... But I know what you mean - I digitized a few of my old rave tape packs and was staggered at how bad they sounded :-(

 

[Deleted member 160668]

Plenty of stuff for me to check out. Nice one.

Ps - saw Bicep live recently. They were great.

Is House music like elevator music only louder? *dirol*
