DDTT is a fad but the nuskool breakers have been, are and always will be nu skool breakers..


thats why when a breaks party comes around, we know who the usual suspects on TOTA are that will most definitely show up

You know your music very well I was at Danny Teneglia last night at Crobar NYC - 2 hour wait to get in! He played a lot of dark NYC house. Was a good night! What's interesting is that I'm hearing Toronto influence that sound. It's getting techier. If you like DDTT, Hector Romero has a monthly residency here first friday of every month. I noticed his sound is getting toronto-sized

To me DDTT is just another label for what i've always known as NYC House / NYC Dark House. The only difference is that nowadays there's more fusion between genres, so you get house tracks that incorporate the tribally aspects with the drums and have that techno inspired punchy sound.

It's the same sleazy, chunky beats that have been around for the last 5-6 years. I've noticed it's become popular among TOTA's after Boa opened and they brought in a lot of DJ's who play that type of sound. Quite honestly, to me it's just an extension of the NYC sound now played with a Toronto flava which is more upbeat and tech-ier. So it's not so much a fad as a realization that house music doesn't always have to be soulfull vocals over disco beats.

Don't really know if Nu-skool breaks was that big a fad in the first place...yea, quite a lot of people enjoy breaks, but personally i enjoy breaks more at home then at the club. The breaks junkies on this forum actually seem to have a broad range of genres they enjoy with everything from progressive to chillout thrown into the mix because of the diverse range of breaks tracks that are out there right now. I'd categorize people who listen to breaks on this forum as former trance addicts who just grew out of the trance phase. Breaks in many ways is the logical next step if you're not into the big room trance sound...

I'd say the bigger fad has been the acceptance of dark NYC house because that's something that Toronto wants...which isn't surprisng given that most clubbers either want to party under the lasers...or in the basement/warehouse type setting. If you enjoy the darkness, then DDTT is for you...

otherwise there's always Armin, Tiesto and Fairy Corsten ready to deliver the fluffiness.

2-3 months ago i would totally agree with you, it was all about old school, james brown remixes, and that sweet, sweet phat funk.

and then freq nasty came and NU SKOOL-ed me big time( i'll always remember the night when i fucked up my leg dancing, he was THAT good).

since then i'm a believer (but i still preffer old school).

sid, we gotta party soon. it's been a while bro

I don't recall anybody saying it was a new genre, new style or a new anything - but ok.

Agree 100% with the above.
