y'all are posting some pretty specific things, that are not open to interpretation in any way. and adding any regional modifier to a genre is making it obscure AND specific. |
I was just explaining to ziptnf the reasoning behind the "obscure" choice of genre that was made. Narrowing your suggestion of genre down to a certain era, approach or regional variation is one of the things that makes the genre challenge an actual "challenge" in the first place (previous suggestions such as breakbeat hardcore, electro or schranz are examples of this).
I see your point, of course. There's only so much room for variation once you narrow things down to the extent "NY hard house" does. I'd argue that diversity and variation isn't necessarily the point of this challenge, though. It is how the DJ copes with operating within a very specific set of genre boundaries, however narrow. Any room for interpretation or creative liberties is just a bonus in that regard. Considering how popular the tribal stuff being referred to as "NY hard house" so far has been with Twilo devotees, I don't think it is an unreasonable and too obscure suggestion, as long as the music is readily available at your usual digital download stores.
