what is your fav type of house music...

I really love twisted disco house... stuff with substance, anything outta chicago..

i don't like it when it gets to light and funky...

example Beven = okay
Churchill = fantastic

current fav producer = gene farris

good call on the gene farris front, he's wicked as.

my favourite producers are - Onionz & Joeski & Inland Knights

back to your question. used to absolutely love house ala Bevan Keys when i first got into house music & started buying records.

over the last few months i've found that i'm buying & likeing darker stuff, not fully tech house but harder & with phatter baselines, like the stort of stuff that inland knights played at their 1st gig at calibre this year, & definately greg churchill type tunes.......

....much to the dismay of my flatmate who loooooooves the bevan keys style

fat chunky funk with a little techy progressive edge

Greg Churchill is, well, the best.

well put ferksta... i couldn't have put it better

bevan keys !!!!
Dick Johnson
Inland Knights
Soane

what ever type these guys play is all good

Fat fat funky house please.

Just for mustapop...

I can't say one style, cos it so depends on so many things. But what I look for is...

Staggered percussion*, dropping basslines, sax, clever use of samples, wackyness, minimalism and sweet vocals.

*by this I mean that I like beats that seemingly speed up and slow down leaving gaps within a 4 beat loop. Inland Knights do this a lot.

aka Derrick Carter, Inland Knights, Billy Lo, Karl the Voice, Home and Garden, The Rizmix Crew, Deaf n Dumb Crew, Swag... could go on forever...

But it's made for dancing.

ph yea and of course LOTTIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

woohooo! for lottie. Hey forest... she touched me once... I nearly passed out

funky and progressive

deep percussive house, dark nasty house.


or when i get over myself..

cheeseball filtered disco house

lmfas shit neil ur one funny go

im so fucking pissed that i didnt go and c her play last yr . my mate told me he was getting me a ticket for my bday and he never did

i sulked all that nite

arghhh the pain

dam u neil

oh and good old deep house

Garridge, us vocal house and deep house.
I've been really lovin King St and nitegrooves of late in the deep house and garridge vibe. Always feel choons with real life musos like MAW and Blaze. A bit of the afro beat house but not much latin stuff, I just don't really relate to it being from nz.
geezers I be lovin
Todd Edwards
Dennis Ferrer
Mateo Matos
Jay J
Afterhous recs
Ron Carroll
Danny Krivit
Timmy Regisford
the list goes on, DC & Mata let us know where to go

dark & dirty

I never really took notice of the earlier NY house
& garage scene. Where my background lies is
techno & tech-house stemming from earlier
trance labels.
As time rolls merrily on.. you search for
distinction, an ever constant journey to improve
ourselves and fine tune our tastes.

This is sooo fuckin hard!!

There is alot of choice out there. As I think
Soulman stated - about branding in the
Remember Chelsea thread, we go by what we
already know and like. This safe and good.But,
how many independant labels are out there I
wonder?
And there is good house music coming out of
alot of nations. I am loyal to the Americans
however to a certain degree. Preference shall
we say.
I don't particularly sway to the 'club' sound
(forget Subliminal and Defected)
A lot of soul is now creeping into what
influences me, but in a more twisted and
manipulated way as opposed to too many
vocals from yesteryear or a diva wailing atop the
production. Accapellas are good for that.

Pianos, Xylophones, flutes(MAW's flute mix of
Work), synths, cowbells, the sax(Johnny Fiasco
- Doubledown;Tim Deluxe - We All love sax),
trumpets, guitar licks & riffs(Nigel Hayes - Que
Pasa; Jeno's risque mix), offbeats, stabbed
vocals, catchphrases, etc. etc. etc.

House music is full-time....

there is a time for every style. Just mix it up,
match the basslines, time the breaks, have fun
and don't worry about wether you have those
Subliminal records hiding away 'cos me too.

p.s Mark Burgess is bringing Diz later in the year
for everyone in this forum - you must go to
witness legendary technical ability and
unequivical music. You'll come back to this post
and have many different views to this... the most
intelligent and challenging style of music on
offer!

Peace.

yip. bevan = not quite edgy enough.

I hate old cheesy synthesizers + house!!! it shit!

but i do love rockin-rodeo-disco house with some downbeat funky downtown on the sound, sound.

just the hip swinging deep funkt stuff that just rolls right through you

just had a dopespOt dopespOt?

Anything on Hed Kandi!!!

Qu@cK

that would be a good excuse!

im off that stuff for now... got an exam next week so its 'sensible dopespOt' at the moment.... ie NO dopespOts!!! arrgh!

anyway, not that im ramblin utter shit, but

I do like a bit of the old down'n'dirty rough'n'tumble dark'n'dirty house too... just been listening to the old Danny Tenaglia GU album that started it all for me!!!

know what i mean?

Funky! Groovy baby yeah!

Funky for me!!

hi nrg deep bangin prog trance, and happy hard core

All of it except hard!!

phat & funky & a little bit dirty

just a little bit mind you! got a bit too dark and dirty for me at nsomnia the other night.

I think every type of house has its own time and place(except Hardhouse which can just f#%k off).

I like smooth and soulful(Rasoul, Migs, Naked music)
to more pumping tech stuff(think silicon soul)
and most everything in between.

I agree with Ferk! Funky, techy, bangin', soulful n' brazen! I'm also a fan of what I call "latin house on crack". Polyrythmic and percussive as fuck!

the mighty mighty Blaze!, Todd Edwards, King St woo hoo!, MAW, some Naked stuff, Kimara Lovelace offerings ahhhh you get the idea ;D
keep it deep

matthew herbert, jazzanova, blaze, pepe braddock.. todd edwards & lotsa old clunky speed garage..
