House music

Oh shit I didn't see this thread till now!!!???? ARRGGGG

Life has sucked untill now. ;-)
 
When I first got into raving, i was into house. It was 2001, and I remember seeing Richard "Humpty" vission spin a funky disco house set at a giant show and it blew my mind (it also helped that I was high on acid). I was huge into humpty vission and dj irene fan when i first started raving. My love of disco house lasted for a few years, then I grew up and moved on to psytrance, breaks and drum and bass.

Still, I remember getting down to that stuff like crazy and dancing all night. You'd always get CDs that had like 50 tracks on it and lasted like 1 hour. Good djs could spin a set like that too back then.

Here's some tracks from back when i was into "disco house" or "funky house" or whatever you call it:
(I gotta be honest, most of these are on compliation cds by richard humpty vission or dj irene from 2001)

Hatiras - Spaced Invader

Afro Medusa - Pasilda (knee deep club mix)

Junior Jack - My feeling

Static Revenger - Happy People

Paul Johnson - Get get down

Street Preacherz - I'll concept

Good times

Edit: also both humpty and irene changed their styles pretty fast. Humpty went more poppy and Irene went harder/trancier. I quickly became unenamored.


Edit pt. 2. It cracks me up that the house tracks from back then are being played in sport stadiums now (Kernkraft 400 - Zombie Nation, Dj Jean - the launch, etc).

Ok, funky/disco/french house still puts a big goofy smile on my face. Gotta post this one. It pre-dates Prydz's "Call on Me", and has the same formula, but I like this one better.

And its by none other than 1/2 of daft punk, thomas bangalter

Really? I got into raving in 2001 as well and it was the first time I've seen humpty vission. Was it at monster massive? Because that is where I saw him. That was the first time I have ever taken mdma. DJ Irene I thought always played hard house. I think in junior high I was a little bit into hard house and I'm sure had one of her mixes. shit music though. Not sure how I got into that.

I didn't like house when I first started raving, it was too "boring" but I didn't care too much for electronic in the beginning anyways, I just liked the drugs. It wasn't until I saw DJ Heather the next year at monster massive when I finally "got it".

After years of partying I got into other styles like drum & bass, techno, psytrance, ambient etc. But none of those genres move me like house does. It's as spiritual thing, a body thing, a soul thing.
 
I haven't listened to new house for years, so I need some tips and advice here.

I love the progressive house sound of the early 2000's, especially the sound Nick Warren, Dave Seaman, Sander Kleinenberg and Deep Dish played. However, I have noticed they play a quite different sound this day. Are there any producers making the kind of deep and dreamy progressive house which was more popular in the early 2000's? The sound I'm searching for would best be exemplified by Nick Warren's Amsterdam and Reykjavik mixes in the GU series.

What I especially dislike is electro house, also funky house is not my thing. It should be deeper, darker and more dreamy. It could in theory be tech and deep house too.

Some examples of the sound I search for:

Weekend World - The Word
Aural Imbalance - Aural Navigation (Part Two)
G-Pal feat AmyX - Ocean of Blue (Sultan Mix)
Bill Hamel pres. Innate & Andy Moor - Barotek (Blackwatch Threshold Dub

Have you tried looking through the deep thread? While it also includes "deep" tracks from other genres such as techno, that thread has a pretty good selection of tracks.

Zabiela annoys me because he's never taken ecstasy. I can't relate to him.

Are you being serious? Lol. Why does that matter?! I hope you're not one of those "I can't go to the show because I have no MDMA" type people. :|
