Apologize but my point still stands. Is Ghosts N Stuff a trance song or did the makers of this mediocre trance compilation just throw it in there for the hell of it. (the version on the CD is actually the long version without vocals) Also another question. In the OP Daft Punk is mentioned as the most "known" example of House Music. It seems to me quite a few Daft Punk songs are pretty experimental or just straight up aren't house at all, is this the case with most house artists?

I'd appreciate a little more clarity than that, I think these are valid questions and this thread is not super active anyways so you could take time to enlighten someone who is new to this kind of music rather than just "hahahaha" at them. With Daft Punk I got the cd Musique Vol. 1, and all the songs seem to be house except for "Something About Us" and I'm not sure about "Robot Rock" either. I'm just wondering if this is the usual case with house artists or not to step outside their genre. edit: Seriously, I mean I knew before posting that these weren't exactly Grade A questions but I thought maybe someone could humor me with some discussion since a lot of posts in this thread have just been consistent of a youtube link or "what's going on with soandso festival." No one I know in real life listens to this kind of music so I can't ask them these questions. Yes they are kind of stupid but oh well. x TOMMYBOY x fucked around with this message at 15:24 on Jul 30, 2011 |

(the version on the CD is actually the long version without vocals) Ghosts N Stuff is electro house, whoever put the trance compilation together is obviously trying to get a mainstream song on there to pander to people who have very little knowledge in trance(edited because I'm a moron). The "long version without vocals" by the way is referred to as the original mix about 95% of the time. Electronic music evolves constantly, and house music is a pretty big umbrella term for music, so there are plenty of different styles of house music and so many subgenres that you can't pinpoint an exact sound. Daft Punk is basically considered one of the groups responsible for popularizing French house, for example, listen to "Around the World" if you think that most of their stuff isn't house. pog boyfriend fucked around with this message at 16:03 on Jul 30, 2011 |

Thanks for the answer. As for the compilation part, I only bought it because I was looking for Deadmau5 4x4=12 and it was unfortunately not there. No most of their stuff does sound like house, but every once in a while a random track like this one will come on and just raise some questions. Honestly I'm trying to do some more personal listening so I don't have to be berated on forums but sometimes I wanna hear a reply from a more experienced listener/connoisseur/whatever. If you find the questions so hilarious you really don't have to answer.

"Experimental" doesn't mean "of a different genre than most of the artist's songs". That's a kitchy lounge-disco song, but there's nothing odd about a house artist, let alone a French one, making one of those.

Pretty new-ish electro house track. http://soundcloud.com/burr-rabbit/bullet Start is a bit minimal but it gets really heavy later on.

x TOMMYBOY x posted:Thanks for the answer. The reasons you may find some of those Daft Punk songs "experimental" is because house music is very diverse in how it can sound (there's a lot of subgenres of house too). Just compare how each Daft Punk album sounds and you'll get what I mean. Now if you're wonder what a house song is it's hard to give a specific answer, but at its basics it's "Sample a song, and then funkify it".

(An example of house music) Except House neither needs to sample another song, nor funkify it. Just to add more confusion into the mix there. Really I'd label stuff House by the time honoured tradition of tempo. House will generally be around 120-130bpm give or take. And in general it'll have a four-to-the-floor drum pattern. Except the odd occasion when it doesn't. Oh my.

jvempire posted:Yeah it doesn't need sample or funk, and what you say there is true. But I think maybe the best way to help know how house music sounds (for x TOMMYBOY x atleast) is to listen to a bunch of house music and he'll probably figure it out. Though I guess that's true for most music anyways Oh of course, I just didn't want him thinking that House had to have samples etc in it. If anyone is actually interested in old House and the roots of it, BCM Records put out a 15cd boxset in 1988 called The History Of The House Sound Of Chicago. The first few discs are old Disco/Italo-Disco tunes that predated and influenced what we call House nowadays. The rest are full of classic tracks from Trax, DJ International and other smaller labels. We've got some Acid House in there, as well as some Detroit Techno as well. There is a vinyl set that's a lot easier to find but it's missing a lot of the tunes(they got siphoned off into another release. Late 80s DLC really), so grab the CD version if you can. Well I say grab, in all honesty if you see it for less than a ton (if at all) you'll be lucky. And since it's a 20+ year old long, long out of print thing then you're probably find it easier just to nab it online somewhere. Like I always say, knowing the history and roots of something can really help you get your head round how the sound has developed into the modern day. A firm foundation, then all you need to do is trace the routes the sound took and see how this mixed with that, to create this new version etc.

GREAT remix of "Hey Boy Hey Girl" from the Chem Bros. by Disco of Doom. http://soundcloud.com/discoofdoom/the-chemical-bothers-hey-boy they have a set they recently put together on their main page as well that was pretty awesome. Both have downloads. It's good to see someone put this song to good use.

That V.I.P. track was an abomination in my ears, but the Party Rock Anthem was get-down-to-able. Then again I have little emotional investment in what "real" house/electro/synth is.
