House is SUCH a broad genre, though. Saying the genre as a whole is a wasteland is kinda crazy. That's like saying "rock music is a complete wasteland". It's not... just most popular, "radio rock" is. Or -insert genre here-.

Just went to beatport because of this and randomly looked at the house charts

dubshape's pick for june 2008

Doesnt sound all bongo-i and has decent tracks. If you are too lazy to search your own tracks see that one, you might like it.

Originally posted by echosystm Has anyone looked at the house top 10 on Beatport lately? It's all fucking bongo house and it all sounds the fucking same; kick drum, bongos, sirens and latino fucktards chanting jibberish bullshit. What the fuck is going on? Hasn't anyone ever seen Roger Sanchez DJ and realise how skullfuckingly boring this monotonous VAGINAL EXCREMENT is? It was alerady bad enough having to wade through 2,000 half assed bedroom-house songs to find something decent, 3 years ago. The genre is now an absolute wasteland. Who else is feeling the pain?

lol, yea why would u even waste the time looking at Beatport's chart? Its always been shit mate, ever since they started the website. House is also much bigger than that...plenty of great stuff on there if u take time to search.

Originally posted by echosystm well, to be fair, i have tried to find good house music before, but epic house liek stardust, daft punk, modjo, armand van helden and bob the builder just isnt around anymore. it's really sad

that isn't house music to begin with. *elitist rant*

i use the top 100 genre charts first, then go from there....you can easily get lost in beatport simply by clicking "you might like this" or whatever it's called on the bottom of the releases. its kind of like wikipedia...

please click here

so real house music was only made in chicago in the eighties? armand's been releasing on strictly rhyhtm and many other respected house labels since the early nineties.

i used to browse the top 100 regularly and find a ton of good stuff. now i'm lucky if i find 5. usually i just check out the top 100 in prog house genre and some of my fav dj's charts on bp.
