Hi...just came across this thread, and I'd like to contribute another blog for the OP. I run one called "Tracks on the Daily", and House music (As well as Drum & Bass and Dubstep) is heavily featured on it (but, of course, not the only thing there). Give it a visit if you like, and thanks in advance if you do. As for now, I'm going to lurk this thread more...just wanted to contribute something first.

Firaga posted:Thanks but it would help if you had some content first... I read and follow a bunch of different blogs, what does yours bring that others don't have? If you're going to be posting the same bangers everyone else is what's the point. Well, it's a blog-in-progress. It was originally something I did on my personal Facebook Page for my friends, to share what I liked and maybe introduce my friends to some new poo poo in the process. (A common "thing" that happens when I play my music collection around people is that I'm promptly asked if I spin. I tell them the truth, that I don't nor do I know how, and I'm constantly told I should because I have a good ear...or something) The problem with doing it on Facebook was that sometimes the site wouldn't let me post a video (for no particular reason) or I'd just get drowned out by other peoples posts about whatever, so I had decided to give the feature it's own site on Blogspot. There are actually about 419 posts (according to my dashboard, the actual page archive reads 405 though...not sure why that is) on that site as we speak, (I had reposted just about everything that was on my Facebook Page, as well as all new content. Also, I have the page set up so that you only see content for the corresponding day, so you can dig through the archives right now and find the older stuff.) and I have a couple co-authors for added genre diversity (One of 'em JUST joined this morning so he hasn't posted anything yet, and hope to gain more co-authors to further the diversity.) Basically, it's merely music that I think is cool...My posts just happen to have a HUGE leaning towards Drum & Bass, House, and Dubstep. I'm not going to post anything that's crappy...and I am fully aware that a lot of it very well can be. I've been listenin' to house since BIRTH (Mom knew DJ's back in New York and would always play their mixtapes in the car with me...so it was some of the first music I had ever heard. I think that definitely had a hand in things...) and most of the other poo poo since late elementary / middle school (Although it wouldn't be until late middle / early high school that I would begin to learn the proper genre names. I had no tutors with any of this growing up, had to learn on my own). Don't take that as an "I know Everything" statement, because I DON'T. I'm not involved in any scenes, I've never gone clubbing or to any raves. It was always just about the music for me, and I could always stand to learn new poo poo. (Which was another intention of the Track of the Day / Tracks on the Daily project, to spur more knowledgeable heads to educate me and vice versa.) I hope that answers your question, and thank you for the feedback. It's much appreciated. Riot.EXE fucked around with this message at 19:34 on Sep 15, 2010 |

Firaga posted:I looked through some of the archives. You've got a pretty good taste in drum and bass, can't really say anything about dubstep because I dislike it for the most part. I'd love to make Genre Filters, I just need to learn how to do it on blogspot. All there is right now is to just type a genre into the searchbar and get whatever I tagged. In terms of the Deadmau5 stuff...2 of those posts are mine and one of my posts is actually a Drum & Bass remix (I didn't like the original, it bored me), and the others are actually my friend Amanda, who also posts up on there (Personally, I'm really not that big into Deadmau5 as it is). I'm aware of the subgenres of house...electro, deep, hard, and etc. I just didn't get too deep into it when it came to the tagging, is all. Everything that would fit under the House Genre is simply tagged as House. When it comes to finding music on my own, yeah, Beatport is a factor, but I never look in what's the current highest downloaded (I usually don't like it, or heard it too much)...I just go through the weekly releases in whatever genre I'm lookin' for and find what I like there, and in the case of remixes, I branch off and check out the remixer's stuff. I also check out whatever mixes I can find and check out the artists of the tracks I like the most within the mix from the listing. Youtube comments on tracks also lead me to some new things, so that helps. Lastly, there's my old VHS-recorded-off-of-MTV tapes of AMP...which was my main source BACK in the day (I even caught the damned pilot). Unfortunately, I don't really have friends locally (when I lived in Houston, nor up here in Chicago-land where I currently live) that like what I like on the same or GREATER (which is what I want) level without me having told them about it first. That's why I came here...you guys know what you're talkin' about and I want to better know what I'm talkin' about. (I'd post my personal playlist, but this isn't the place for that.) Thanks for checkin' it out though, and thanks a lot for the insight. I'll definitely keep it in mind. P.S. That track you posted was kinda "eh" to me...it didn't suck, but it felt like 3 minutes of buildup to nothing...maybe it would work better in a mix?

Play posted:I've been noticing this too on my local BS autotunetop40 pop station. Honestly, I'll take it over poo poo R&B or reggaeton any day but its still basically absolute poo poo. If you think about it it was only a matter of time, house has a very broad appeal and sounds good in a club w hype lyrics. However this version of house is tailored to the absolute lowest common denominator. It's quite sad though that this must be the form in which electronic music is finally embraced by the mainstream in America. Must be? No...it IS. I was at a friends party a couple months back that proved this.

Play posted:You are totally right, but what i meant is that it sucks that THIS has to be the way electronic music is embraced in the mainstream. in europe people actually have decent taste when it comes to electronic I know...but even then, what they end up embracing blocks out the good poo poo WE listen to in this thread. That's the real problem. They'd rather skip Wolfgang Gartner, Boys Noize, Feed Me, Kill the Noise, Treasure Fingers, Udachi, Alex Metric and the like for some lovely house mix of an already lovely top40-of-the-week track that won't even matter years from now. THAT'S why it's depressing.

Threatis posted:dude you dont even listen to this music in a public settings so why bother getting pissed, just keep dancing to it in the homecare dept of the place you work. Actually, I do listen to the stuff in public settings...just not all that often. I'm not so much mad as slightly annoyed. The Fresh Prince posted:This has to be sarcastic. Please be sarcastic.

I'm saying it will never be like "top 40" mainstream, is all. (P.S. I saw Atari Teenage Riot on the 1st and they were loving amazing. Alec Empire doesn't seem to age and Nic Endo is sweet.

Furnace posted:Yeah, but it's gonna be at the most Jersey Shore mega-bar here. I went to see Diplo there in the spring, and it was like fist-pumpers anonymous there. There's a pizza restaurant near me that's like that. During the day...it's all family friendly and poo poo, but at around 10PM, the Bros come out to play. It's like some twisted version of Castlevania 2 or something.

Furnace posted:How the gently caress did you go from fist pumping to Castlevania? THERE IS NO loving LINK. That restaurant during the daytime = family fun for everyone / Castlevania 2 during the day = Villagers are out in the open and the enemies that are around are weak. That restaurant during the night = Bros and Bitches everywhere, the environment changes into an uppity suburban wannabe club / Castlevania 2, when night falls, Simon says "What a horrible night to have a curse", all the happy villagers go inside and there are zombies everywhere and different monsters around the countryside that deal more damage and take more hits to kill.

Chicago House-heads! So, I was at the Broken Note show at Smart Bar last night / this morning...and some random guy comes up to me and asks me if I'm gonna see Bassnectar on Saturday. I shrug and tell him I didn't know about it...then he gives me two tickets to see Chromeo and A-Trak at the Congress Theater on Saturday (10-30-2010)! I can't use 'em 'cause 1 - short notice, and 2 - I work...so whoever wants 'em and is in the Chicago area better get at me NOW Send all inquiries HERE.

Hammsturabi posted:Just try to find Indian pop music you like. Most of their pop music does indeed come from movies so look at recent Bollywood soundtracks first, but don't limit yourself to Bollywood (I have a feeling your friend isn't going for 100% authenticity). For example, this song is from a "Kollywood" movie (Tamil film industry) and sounds like something white girls who like Bollywood would dance to: What about Talvin Singh and Amon Tobin?

GZA Genius posted:Ok I am just throwing this song up here even though it should be in the D&B thread. I feel that someone that is interested in both genres (Electronica/D&B) would be able to get into the song. Also if someone can point me in the right direction of music similar to this (D&B but with a vocal track) I would much appreciate it. Not bad...it's no "Everyday"...but it's still pretty good.
