I've never made up a poo poo excuse for the mixes i've actually tried to make good, so I don't know what you mean by that, but thanks for the feedback, i'm still learning.
I don't want this to be an extended argument, so just drop the whole "Oh I wasn't really trying then"/"Haha you were pranked by my terrible mix" shtick. Even if people were buying it, it would still basically be bragging about making a shitpost in NMD (albeit one that took a weird amount of effort), which I am not cool with.

That maestro documentary is pretty awesome. I've watched a few others that have probably been linked in this thread, one about Chicago and the other about Detroit. Its great to see the New York perspective. I would give up all this new technology poo poo to go back to when things first started, where House was born.

The music now is pretty loving good, though.

These guys get quite a bit of play around Toronto. Way underrated here, though, since its their home town. You've probably heard their flagship songs Twilight, or Need To Feel Loved. This is their take on a house classic (imo) by Deep Swing.

Pryda - Melo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXS73NDYapg
Eric Prydz catches a lot of poo poo for sounding like a lot of other played out trance, but his Pryda side project is nothing short of genius (imo) by deep swing. You've probably heard Pjanoo, but this song blows the pants off of that poo poo any day if you ask me.

JPL - We're on the Moon http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amfoZYRsuhY
Stumbled upon this through an internet radio station and it's criminal that this song has under 1000 views on youtube. 8 minutes of feelgood beats and a wall of sound.

A little dubsteppy, and a little too introspective for this thread, but its drat good song either way. Great sounding melody on the chorus, and a cool video that you should check out even if you're not a fan of the music.

Okay, newbie here, so be nice to me. (I haven't read the whole thread, it's hard to follow for someone like me, sorry for that.)

I want to get into house music, but am having a hard time. Basically, I used to intensely dislike anything electronic, before realising that there was stuff out there I do actually like. I just don't know precisely what it is yet, because I know so little electronic music.

Basically I suspect that:
- what I dislike is "electro-pop", generally poppy songs, songs made for dancing only, "immature" trance stuff (immature being my impression of it, not intended to offend people who like that kind of music).
- what I like is "deep house", generally slower songs I guess, more intense-sounding, melancholic, songs also for "chilling" and not just dancing, something like that.

For instance, a couple of songs that I like, from my very small and arbitrary "collection" (don't laugh, I'm a newbie!):
- Paul Kalkbrenner - Sky and Sand: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=do5-PiJeKmA
- Ida Corr vs. Fedde le Grand - Let Me Think About It (club remix) (I don't think this needs a link)

Am I right that what I like is "deep house"? Could you recommend some artists/songs I would like? And a way to get into this kind of music? I would greatly appreciate it!

Added: I'm kinda liking what Lysis posted above on this page....

Agreed totally. The spread of music in this thread is just too wide. People click links expecting one sound and find something very different.

I'm going to respectfully disagree here. The constant mashing together of sounds is appropriate for discussion of the electronic/dance music scene, and if we had a bunch of narrow genre'd threads, they would flood nmd and then die from underpopulation. Plus we would never have these entertaining arguments. There should probably be an electro-pop thread though.

Electro-pop isn't the name of a style of music. It's just a description which could mean different things depending on the intent of the speaker. In this thread, it's being used as an umbrella term for pop songs with electronic instrumentation. So it's a pretty broad and vague descriptor.

But what you like is more important than what you don't, anyway, so I'll throw out some things you might like and you can tell us what you think of them:

https://www.myspace.com/larryheardakamrfingers - One of the first house DJs and producers. "Can you Feel it", in the Myspace player, is considered the first deep house record.
https://www.myspace.com/djmiguelmigs - The poppier side of deep house. Great summer music.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8cmdbaNPEE - One of Miguel Migs's older, mellower sample-driven tracks
https://www.myspace.com/kevinyost - The jazzier side of deep house.
https://www.anderstrentemoller.com - Acclaimed electronic musician who falls somewhere along the techno <-> house continuum. Not "sunny"-sounding like the above.
https://www.myspace.com/djfeddelegrand - Since you mentioned him, what do you think of Fedde le Grand's other stuff? From what you've told us, I wouldn't have expected you'd like him (poppy songs, songs made for dancing only) but if you want more stuff like this, there's a wealth of it out there.

Thanks a lot for the suggestions, Threatis and Hammsturabi, I'm sampling those and so far I'm very pleased. Keep 'em coming, please!

I've been wondering a bit why I like that kind of music. My own "background" is classic rock. I can see some similarities, though. I think this kind of house shares some qualities with psychedelic, "trippy", chant-like (for lack of better term) rock such as The Doors' "The End" ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1b26BD5KjH0 ), The Velvet Underground's "Heroin" ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xcwt9mSbYE ), and much of early-to-mid Pink Floyd such as "Careful With That Axe, Eugene" ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3R2PgMiTvw ), in which for instance repetition is an important part, but only in order to create the atmosphere that is the true goal of the song. Of course, late Pink Floyd had some "disco"ish elements, and house (I gather) began in the same kind of places as disco did, so that's another connection...

Also, I gather that artists such as the Doors and Pink Floyd get sampled a lot by electronic artists.

now i may not have the right answer, but here's an idea:

This music is pretty much the definition of music meant for consumption and is produced in a way that is going to be enjoyable. Therefore, you like it.

Perhaps (though you make it sound so bad! ;) ), but the thing is that I used to be so allergic to electronic music of all sorts. Oh, well, I guess we all change over time.

(By the way, a lot of psychedelic rock wasn't really made to be enjoyable - it was very unpolished.)

that 'unpolished' feel is just an aesthetic to give the music a more grimey, organic sound. im not SO deep into psychadelic rock but from what ive heard and of the major names i believe its very much meant to be enjoyable, what would make you suggest otherwise? that doesnt necessarily mean it has to be overly happy or upbeat

To be honest, amongst the people I know who are most into these styles of music, they like it all, not just the poppy stuff or the housey stuff, so that's why I thought merging the threads was a good idea when it was suggested to me.

That said, it seems like there's a lot of people who for whatever reason don't care much for the house stuff so if you guys want to start a separate electro-pop thread, go ahead. I really didn't mean to pigeonhole or ignore you guys, it's just that I apparently had a mistaken impression of the fanbase.

Oh also for future reference, you guys can always talk to me via PM or AIM or IRC, which generally are going to be a lot more effective.

Okay, so can anybody recommend me some bmore? I'm trying to get into it, but holy poo poo does Sturgeon's Law apply to this genre - Mostly because of eargrindingly repetitive vocal samples and famous guitar riffs or whatever that I have a very low tolerance for (i'm looking at you nirvana, michael jackson and loving PAPA ROACH remixes). I have, however, fallen in love with a couple of tracks, which I hope can clue you in on what I like. WHAT.

Emynd - Reach Out

DJ Sega - Pinky & The Brain Remix (don't know why it's labeled DJ Dee Square on youtube, my version has the trademark DJ SEGA sound in it)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PPmXa9uSsY

K-Spin - What Remix Part 5 (as far as I've been able to figure out)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-vu2Xsc04k

I have a huge weakness for airhorns. And gunshots. And Lil Jon. YEAH. Somehow he's perfect for this genre. I'm pretty sure he's also featured in another track I dig called the Shake Off by KW Griff, which I heard in a Dirty South Joe mix, but apparently bmore tracks are impossible to find anywhere, so I can't even produce a youtube link to that one.
What else might I like?
