Dopo posted:I mean, in retrospect I don't think that Justice - Cross was that great either. I don't think any of the OG house or techno crowd was wowed by it; it was people like me who were just starting to listen to dance music. This is an interesting statement - I actually think Cross was a pretty big deal because of this exact sentiment I think the first thing that they put out was their Blood On Our Hands remix back in the day, which was pretty much straight up electro without the glitchy type of sound that made the Ed Banger sound. It really wasn't anything special but a solid remix with drums that no one else was really doing - besides that, it was pretty standard fare (other songs had switch ups too). Now fast forward to Genesis from Cross, which had the glitchy and unpredictable arrangement with a very distinct sound to it. The percussion maintained the Justice sound, and the samples were intercut with the arrangement, which no one else was really doing at the time (except Mr. Oizo, who they borrow from heavily but his sound is "abrasive"). So that persisted throughout the album, and there were tracks like Phantom that played synths more like lead guitars, using bends and mods that, again, no one had done in electronic music for some time. This is really important the texture and arrangement of Cross made it much more listenable than the majority of dance music since Discovery, and Discovery still suffers from some stiff parts where it has the repetition that people used to hate about dance music. So after people started reacting to Justice and flocking to it as the new, more listenable "EDM" that they always wanted, the Wolfgang Gartners, Madeons, and Dangers of the world started to adapt the style to slightly faster beats with far less intricacy that Justice used on both Cross and AVD. So of course, this bleeds out to the commercial producers like RedOne, Calvin Harris, Max Martin, etc, and suddenly, we have pop dance music that more than likely features wiggly synths and stuff that could (in my opinion anyway) be traced back to Cross-era Ed Banger stuff. I think Cross deserves a little more credit.

I'm not sure where I found this, but this 80's house mix is amazing: http://soundcloud.com/djphiction/dj-phiction-presents-jack-a Makes me wish I'd been of age for this era, would have been incredible to dance to all these  NEW SOUNDS *if anything, listen from minute 50 and give it 10 minutes. Imagine you're at a dancefloor in the 80s. Close your eyes maybe even. And then let it happen. You'll know what I'm talking about if you do this

30 minutes into listening to Alex Metric's Essential Mix for the first time and I think it's a new favorite. So funky, so good. Probably one of the best track selections I've heard so far too. http://soundcloud.com/detailsofmylife/alex-metric-radio-1-essential-mix

If any of you guys are into deep, weird rave music you should really check out Ghosts on Tape's new mix for the Frite Nite podcast series. This is a great example of the kind of strange madness that you'll hear at SF's forward-thinking Icee Hot monthly where Ghosts on Tape is a resident. http://www.fritenite.com/2012/06/06/podcast-25-ghosts-on-tape/

The percussion maintained the Justice sound, and the samples were intercut with the arrangement, which no one else was really doing at the time I think the ideas were being done before just with a bit more intricacy & usually as part of something bigger than the sum of it's parts, so when justice came along with that as the entire focus and huge one track sound none of the proper heads cared. Similar to dubstep gaining popularity - the sounds and ideas always existed in it when it was underground, but when some producers took those ideas and made them all the track was about it turned a lot of original fans off. Yeah, it got a shitload of new people into it (whole list of reasons and another post there) but people who've been listening to electronic music for a while are used to looking for timeless music (probably got good at recognizing it too), and they've seen how disposable music like that is - it ages very badly and is very much a product of it's era. I'll give you that not many people were making that sound - but I don't think they were pioneers, they just made it sound huge with a bunch of hooks. It wasn't even remotely subtle, but I feel jackson & his computer band's 'utopia' is aging far far better than cross for example. Cross lacked the kind of substance needed for longevity. cubicle gangster fucked around with this message at 12:14 on Jun 8, 2012 |

Oh my god. You all totally ignored the substance of my post and latched on to the most irrelevant throwaway sentence. The last thing I wanted to do was spawn a page-long discussion about Justice. You guys are loving hopeless. On a more positive note, I just discovered a new SF producer who goes by Avalon Emerson and makes a really interesting brand of weird, hypnotic, muted house perfect for the after party (or even the after after party). On top of that she has easily the most interesting artist bio that I've ever read. It's just this side of word salad but describes the aesthetics of her music perfectly: Avalon Emerson posted:Forget hype: most jams compacting the great RSS feed colon are buttressed high by the weight of their hyphens. Check out her soundcloud here: http://soundcloud.com/avalonemerson and follow her on twitter over here: https://twitter.com/kahley

Mods, can we get the thread title changed to "Bloghouse 2007: A Retrospective"? Thanks! Seriously though, if that is what people want then maybe we should just have a new NMD House thread or incorporate it into the new Techno/Tech House one. We're obviously not speaking the same language here.

It's definitely open to interpretation but it has to do with music (and things in general) not being defined by the labels that you put on them. I just thought it was funny but I see how it would seem pretty masturbatory if you took it seriously.

If you're just getting into acid house I can't recommend this 2 CD compilation on Soul Jazz Records highly enough: Acid: Can You Jack? (Chicago Acid And Experimental House 1985-95) http://www.discogs.com/Various-Acid-Can-You-Jack-Chicago-Acid-And-Experimental-House-1985-95/master/69833 It has Maurice - This is Acid and Virgo - Go Wild Rhythm Track which were just posted along with plenty of other tracks that you really should own or at least know. The original vinyl release of a lot of these tunes would cost you more than the whole compilation. My favorite is the timeless classic Acid Crash by Tyree (http://youtu.be/ODS1Zt_6jIM). On top of all of those great tunes the liner notes are fantastic and provide a lot of context. Goddamn, I sound like I'm selling one of those Time Life "Best of the 60s" box sets. Edit: Oh, that third link in the previous post samples Lil Louis - Video Clash (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgSZrT1S33E) which is also in that compilation.

BT posted his live set from EDC. http://soundcloud.com/bt/bt-asot-invasion-edc-lv-2012 And posted a cool note with it: Playing here for 40,000 people on the #ASOT stage at @EDC_LasVegas. 300,000 people converged here over this weekend. I began my career over 20 years ago now and from the time I came up there is almost no one that would be considered apart of my peer group that is still making or performing music. I'm kinda one of the last standing from the moment I began service to EDM. I am deeply proud of my 20 years of service. Playing a track from the new album on this night like "Must be the love" with Arty and Nadia Ali I am reminded I've only just begun. My daughter said when I finished "I have the coolest dad ever". I'll remember this night for the rest of my life.
