When did hard house die!!

i got alot of sick hard techno trance stuff from the albums..50 top techno/trance anthems vol 1-3 alot of my favorite stuff came off these cd's.. check em out i guarantee there's tracks you'll love.. if you like techno trance that is :)
 
Progressive is still around... and im happy for that. used to not be a fan but I have widned my variety of EDM in the last year. and its many years ive been listening.
 
Them people don't understand stomping ;)

In the early day's '96 time they used sometimes early psy-trance tracks to, well after re-engineering them a bit so you could actually listen and stomp to it, same with some trance tracks etc....there goes the idea of it just being house being speeded up =D

Its like the whole Happy HardCore debate, genres in EDM and always pretty fluid anyway .

Let's not forget that beat has been going on since the dawn of mankind


had to add a link to this one, it got played on the underground scene quite heavily but is what I would refer to as Hard House:-

John Whiteman - Can't Beat The System

What's the problem of giving a genre name to a type of music? It makes it easier to organize music. especially for record shopping. If I'm shopping for vinyl it makes it easier if they separate house and drum and bass, that way it's easier to find what I'm looking for.

I got this on vinyl somewhere =D

Tbh i used to like a lot of the hard house that was doing the rounds 99-01.

Some good releases on nukleuz and tidy although you had to sift through a lot of shit to pick out the gems.

These's nothing wrong with them for organising records in shops, but IME people get so hung up on decidig what genre particular tracks or produceres are making.

With EDM particularly the genres kind of create themselves so there are coross overs tracks that really dont fit into a specific genre, so people might say "I don't like Hard House" what do they really mean given you can't partition music in that way.

If you listed to alot of early HadCore, around'92-93 you can herer the DnB sound emerging, in retrospect most people would call that DnB where at the time many wrere still calling that Hardcore, Hard Trance is another genre taht is difficult to pin down.

I don't think anyone denies that a lot tracks/producers make crossover stuff that can be really good. Just take a look at the the deep thread. It features deep music from a wide variety of genres such house/techno/jungle.

However, you do have same genres that tend to attract producers who make very formulaic music that rarely pushes any boundaries. Now there is nothing wrong with liking that kinda of music. Hell, when ever I am out with regular chicks (non hippie types), we always hit up clubs with pretty mainstream music and it can still be a very good time (especially after 3-4 shots or gin tonics). But, I think it's also fair to criticize such music for being not very original.

I understand what you're saying. The tracks you posted I don't particularly hate but are not my cup of tea. When I mean by not liking hard house, I'm talking about tracks like this.

Mark V & Poogie Bear - This is Los Angeles

These guys and DJ Irene pretty much left a bad taste in my mouth for hard house. And trust me there are a lot of hard house tracks like that one. (I used to listen to it!)

btw. I love happy hardcore. :)
