The House Music Thread
« on: April 25, 2019, 12:20:20 PM »
I do not expect this to be the most active thread since house music is not everyone’s cup of tea but since I have been noticing house music pop up in skate videos over the last few years I thought it was time to start one.  I searched to make sure there wasn’t one yet, so please forgive me if there was. I saw the electronic music thread that had 28 pages but electronic music is a very broad term and that thread has been inactive since May 2017.

House music is an often misunderstood genre so I’ll start things off with an oversimplified explanation of how it got its name:

The story all starts at an amazing discotheque on 84 King Street in NYC called The Paradise Garage.  A dj named Larry Levan became a legend there whose track selection, dj’ing style, and mixing/ production work (https://www.discogs.com/Larry-Levan-Larry-Levans-Paradise-Garage/master/256156) set the foundation for many different dance music scenes that thrive today. Back then people started to call his style and taste in music “Garage.” Basically it was very soulful disco and Rn’B that was fun to dance to and pretty far removed from the commercialized “Disco Duck” type stuff that gained more attention in popular culture.

Among Larry Levan’s dj friends was the one and only Frankie Knuckles. Knuckles moved to Chicago in the late 70’s and was an ambassador of the Garage sound in Chicago. He played as resident dj at a club called The Warehouse at 206 South Jefferson Street.  As he inspired the locals with his style, they began calling the music “House Music” over time. By the early 80’s Jesse Saunders, Steve “Silk” Hurley, Farley “Jackmaster” Funk,  and other young producers in Chicago began creating music that officially donned the “House Music” label and the Chicago sound in general became more associated with synthesizers and drum machines than the more live-band disco sound of New York.  Of course the two cities went on to influence each other many times and you cannot forget about what was happening in Detroit… the birth of Techno.

Again, this is an oversimplification and I have left out many important details. “Meastro” is a good documentary and will give you a much more detailed account of the formation of this genre. I left out The Loft to keep it neat but the importance of David Mancuso’s private loft parties cannot be overstated.

Enough talk, let’s listen. Here is the first house track that moved me:

i was fortunate to be a teenager in Detroit throughout this period and these are a couple of classics that always bring me back:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPLvWwMlnZU

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gu3albgauw

the distinction between "house" and "techno" is so important--i grew up on house music but i personally can't name a single "techno" song that i can stomach. i'm definitely feeling what i guess one could call the house aesthetic of a number of recent skate videos and parts--for instance, love this right here and it fits dude's skating really well:

Nice! A couple of classics right there for sure.

Since you are from Detroit I'll post one from your hometown in 1995:

yeah, that's definitely a jam too--would work well in a skate part as well...who would have thought that house tracks would make such incredible music for skate edits...

In my first post I wrote about the origins of house music at the Paradise Garage club in New York. Many in New York continued to call the music they made and enjoyed Garage into the age of house. In the mid 90's US Garage house music scene started to make a big impact in the British electronic music scene. They loved these faster, shuffley beats with a mix of live drum sounds, big basslines, drum machines, and of course the incredible vocals. They even began speeding up the tracks and began looking for tracks that used other kick drum patterns besides the four-on-the-floor as well. This led to the 2 step genre which eventually led to the creation of Dubstep. It is pretty interesting how different cultures talk back and forth to one another.

Here are two US house classics that had a big influence in the UK.

95 North - Let Yourself Go (1995) KULT RECORDS. This duo is from Washington D.C.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAOVFDO454o

Roy Davis Jr. ft. Peven Everett - Gabrielle (Live Garage Version) (1996) LARGE MUSIC. Roy Davis Jr. and Peven Everett are from Chicago.

there’s a lofi/deep house station i listen to on siriusxm, it’s pretty cool. but i can’t differentiate the difference between the genres just yet.

but it would be cool to see what the more og heads have to say about dudes like ross from friends or mall grab and the sort. the music fit really well on yaje and bobby worrest parts.

I did gravitate toward Lo Fi house when I first started dj'ing in 2011 but I ended up following the trail of influences and gravitating toward music that did not intentionally try to sound aged. I only select music that would sound great on a big system. Effects can be used in a well produced track for sure.

Since I’ve only been into house music for 10 years I cannot speak for old heads. There are folks that go to House in the Park ATL and the Chosen Few picnic in Chicago every year who were into this music before anyone called it garage or house.

Oh yeah ghetto house and ghetto tech are directly related to house music especially through the record label Dance Mania from Chicago which dates back to the classic house days but released a large portion of ghetto house too.

I did jot down the tracklist loosely while I was mixing on my CDJ's. I left out some track names, if I have time I'll edit:

Harry Wolf - Uncle Buck (Brame & Hamo Remix)
G Spice
Kerri Chandler - Track 1
Kiko Navarro - Any Way I Want
Freight Train -
The Untouchables - Dance to the Rhythm (Dj T Remix)
My System Echo - Revival (Ron Bassjam Remix)
Art of Tones - Gimme Some More
Souldrifter - Set Me Free
Deep Future - Attraction
Angelo Ferreri - I’m Surprise (Studioheist Remix)
Peter Brown - Welcome to the Party
Alex Ranerro - Enigma
Blaze - Loveleee Dae

It’s actually a great time to just get into them. They started the label back up recently and are repressing a lot of the classics on wax and putting them out digitally as well of course. For a while expensive resale copies were the only option.

The first track is MAURICE - This Is Acid (A New Dance Craze) which is strongly reminiscent of Royal House - Party People (Royal House was one of Todd Terry's many aliases) which is a play on Marshall Jefferson - Move Your Body (House Music Anthem).

Adonis - No Way Back is also in there. It might actually be another version but that is where that bass line originated.

All these are sped up significantly.

Not sure if that helps because there are other tracks thrown in there too.

(Again, I would embed if I knew how. If anyone knows how to embed mixcloud here on SLAP let me know.)

Today's mix is more stripped back and hard hitting than Tuesday's. I apologize for the few skips that occur on the second track. There are around four skips within a stretch of about 30 seconds around the 8:30 minute mark. After that the rest is good. I need new CDJ's.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZFaK1jchyM

side note i never got the raving and mdma connection aside from the history, too intense and sleepy, i be curled up on the floor straight trippin hand dancin. acid or amphetamine all day, methylone was good too. dutch bros still got access to 4fa though, that shit was the fucking bestest.

i mean i can always feel the groove sober but... ya know
