House Music Fans

Phantasee · Post by **Phantasee** » 2007-08-05 06:31pm

I started listening to House this past year, and I'm liking it more and more as I listen to it. I've already got Ministry of Sound's Housexy Spring 06, Housexy Sounds of Summer 06, and Summer In The City 07. The first two were my introduction to House as a genre, before that I had very little music that you could call House (Pump Up the Jam by Technotronic is the only song that comes to mind).

Stark mentioned he was a fan of House in the AIM chat, and I was wondering if anyone else is here.

I just want to know what to listen to next, and what you guys think of Ministry of Sound compilations. Are they representative of modern House? Should I continue collecting compilations from them? I still have to get the other one released this year, Housexy International.

I am a man of limited money and bandwidth, so I can't go and listen to every house track ever produced and figure out what's good. I do have a record player, so I can listen to old stuff that's only available on vinyl, if I can find it in Edmonton.

People still listen to that crap? I can understand some poor preteen getting suckered in back when it was still marginally popular around 1988, but today there really is no excuse.

I'm not sure if it's House, but I listen to DJ Dan 'cause it fucking grooves.

North America has yet to hit the "Girl Power" stage of musical evolution

Give 'em a decade or so, and we shall be seeing their version of..well..Cheeky Girls, probably.

Well, it's gotten a bit more popular in the last few years.

Also, I'd like to point out that the thread title is, "House Music Fans," and not, "I Hate House."

What? I'm discussing house music fans.

I don't know just how far behind the US is, but to me, house was that boenke-boenk garbage that died somewhere around the early nineties, something for pill-popping dropouts in tracksuits who're all called "Davy".

Point.

House and trance and other descendants of disco kind of died out near the end of the nineties, at least around here, but the last few years it's come back. Even the local radio stations play house music every Saturday night, they do the show live from a club in the west end of town.

It's cool if you don't like it, but I'm kind of digging it right now, and I want to hear more.

I used to spin Detroit Booty (A type of house influenced by hip hop and cult movie sound bites) and I love it, I am no fan of pansy house like you have on your collection though, sorry.

Post some videos, I'll see if anything comes to mind.

Heh, pansy house.

Tell me more about this Detroit Booty sound. Major artists/labels, good starting points would be nice to know.
