Jacking house à la Villalobos?

Going through my house folders I've noticed that I've got a lot of weird stuff, deep stuff, mellow stuff but not a lot of stuff that's really just raw groove. I dig most of the tracks he plays in this video, music starts around 12 minutes. Or maybe it just sounds good because of the context of the video? I don't know. This was recorded in 2008, by the way, so at the height of tech house I guess.

I never thought of the music he plays as jacking

Jay and I talked about this before. How I see it Ricardo plays house and many forms of it, but he never gets booked to play HOUSE house because the house he plays just isn't very...housey(?)...in the classic sense, I guess.

I wasn't really trying to talk about him as a DJ, in general, just about the type of stuff in the video. I was looking for some pointers since I completely missed this whole 2000's tech/minimal thing.

K-house vibes. Sweat on the walls.

Take more drugs.

Take a trip.

So, how much K do I need until I see "IT"?

I wanna do like a really extended house mix and I need some more filler type shit.

I don't know, man. What was he playing back then? I can't id any tracks on the video off the top of my head, but I would guess stuff like this maybe?

Not too long after this?

What I said pertains to him just as much now as it did back then. A lot of it just isn't "house". You didn't listen to this shit back when it came out?

I was full on Armin mode back in 2008

Nah, the stuff you posted isn't really what I'm after. What sucks is, there used to be the same video with all the IDs in the comments but it got taken down a while ago.

All the tracks I posted are from around that time, start your search from there and you should find the sound you're looking for.

Maybe you should buy a lot of random tech house from 2008, go down to your local supermarket and buy the shittiest €20 radio CD player you can find and then play your tracks through that. Because that's all I'm getting from that video.

Anyway, here's a track:

This is about as jacking as Ricardo Villalobos gets.

If that's what qualifies as jacking house these days, then Jack must be turning over in his grave. So much of what Villalobos plays sounds like someone rattling pebbles around in a tin can, and not in a good way.

VILLALOBOS AIN'T BLACK, THAT'S FOR SURE.
