3 times, twice by me (previous page).

Looking at Bonzai in your signature I assume you weren't kidding.

ok, that was a read fail on my part.

NYC is still the club capital of the USA, although its been in decline for about a decade now.

Yes sireee bob.. You still have some clubs like Pacha that play house music but there's too many transvestites on the scene. Don't walk in with beer goggles and expect to leave for the night without thinking if that hot chic you made out with was someone's son.

Originally posted by SYSTEM-J Well, none of those are countries. New York gave the world disco and hip-hop, and for that is probably more important than either Detroit or Chicago.

And Freestyle

Not really a very popular or enduring genre of music but it provided some of my earliest experiences with EDM.

Nowadays, NY hasn't been very relevant in terms of dance music but there's no denying there was a lot of history from there and Jersey - artists like MAW, Armand Van Helden, Todd Edwards, Danny Tenaglia, Junior Vasquez, etc.

Originally posted by Nrg2Nfinit and one cannot forget the dutch talent of peter slaghuis. he was compiling music in the early 80s. He didn't come out with a sample music hit until 1989 with jack to the sound. Here are some of the tracklists to his compilations: Impressive page his dad made in memory of him:http://www.discopatrick.com/home/2-...o%20breaks.html like patrick cowley and thorsten fenslau, his early death was tragedy to the scene, as he had much more to offer.

I never was really interested in the people behind the names back then (also no internet), but for sure remember that Acid sound of Hithouse tracks he made and later on his work with Paul Elstak as Holy Noise (how different). Hithouse is the English translation of his name "Slaghuis" by the way, kind of funny .
I even remember that funny The Video Kids-Woodpeckers From Space (1995)

Impressive page his dad made in memory of him:

Would it be a coincidence that Jack to the underground was at the first release of the in Holland famous Turn Up The Bass series? This series which also contains Holy Noise tracks like James Brown is Still Alive as responds at LA Style - James Brown is Dead.
Listing again to James Brown is Still Alive makes me wonder if that one inspired the later banned remix Apotheosis - O Fortuna, which I thought was brilliant.

For who wants to compare some really old stuff:
Repeating part starting around 1:16Holy Noise - James Brown is Still Alive
V.s. at 0:45
Apotheosis - O Fortuna

By the way, I never noticed he used the same sample before The Prodigy used it in No Good. Too many years in between I guess.
Indeed sad he died so early.

He had a car accident, rolled over 4 times after crashing into a truck standing next to the road (on the high way). He was killed instantly.

Yeah, it was after a performance in Amsterdam, driving home.
Being tired and just a brief moment of loss of attention and some bad luck is all that it takes.
