House music

is anyone else afraid the black eyed peas are going to kill house? Will I. Am seems to genuinely enjoy it, but cant really produce it unfortunately. the rest of them are in it for the money. i dunno, just a scary thought i have sometimes...

Nevermind all the horrible singing and "rapping" but The Time (Dirty Bit) has a decent electro house beat, it could be from any electrohouse DJ if you didn't know it was BEP. I don't think they will kill it, I think OG's like Tiesto abandoning their original genres and going pop may kill it though. If it wasn't for Armin Van Buuren, trance would not be in good shape right now.

actually, I'm a house purist so when I hear electo house I just pass it off as another genre. When more producers start switching over to electro house like what joey youngman did then that's when I'll start getting scared for the house scene. The underground house scene is actually fine is where its at. It's the popular raves that have switched out from proper house to electro house.

Yea, I agree that electro house is distinct from house.

tritium, electro house has been a trashy genre for a long time now. I wouldn't really worry about what Will I Am's doing to it (if anything, he's probably not the worse offender in the genre.)

I'd just like to point out that Will I Am might be tacky as fuck, but he did produce this beat.

(and this beat. Further proof that he could probably produce some soulful house music if he wanted to... Obviously the derrty electro sound is what sells now though.)
 
house music! I'm enjoying the evolution of house to include fidget and the resurgence of some good ol funky disco house music too. A la treasure fingers, Herve, etc.
 
OMG I only just heard this for the first time, and all I can say is - absolutely phenomenal!!!! I could easily post this in The Deep Thread (and probably will :) ), or in one of the acid threads (I think we've got at least one 'acid thread', yeah?), but seeing as it comes from one of the legends of house, I thought I'd better post it here first!!!!!!
