i suck at classifying songs into genres, but i know enough to say that i'm a "house" fan and "proghouse".

anyway the other night on my way home from the movies, this local radio station was broadcasting live from a ft. lauderdale club and they played this fucking awesome song w/ female vocals and it was very "housey" and the only words i could remember were, "I'm Haunted" so as soon as i got home i looked on discogs and discovered it was Laurent Konrad and then i also discovered that he is the artist behind another song that i've always loved and never knew who did it, "Spread Love" by fightclub....

anyway, is this stuff tech-house?


i really like laurent konrad, and i downloaded a bunch of his stuff that night when i got home. i noticed that a lot of the artists and dj's who play/produce those real housey funky sounds are from france...does that have anything to do with it? do the french listen to a lot of funky house that has a disco sound to it? excuse my ignorance if this is common knowledge...

laurent konrad, cedric gervais, jacques lu cont, are some of the artists/dj's i'm talking about... and i recently discovered this other song that i've heard a lot and never knew the artist name... David Guetta's "The World is Mine" Antoine Clamaran remix. that guy sounds french too and i like his remix the best...even better than deep dish remix.

so is this tech-house genre french inspired?

another good track (don't flame) is the benny benassi remix of tomcraft "Lonliness" and pretty much all of those benny remixed songs i always enjoyed dancing to...i wouldn't like call them THE BEST songs ever, but benny's style always made me want to dance and i'm guilty of owning that song on vinly...and even spinning it when i can


any info is greatly appreciated

what genre is that song? i love it. it's also very housey in my opinion. "house" is a vague category though huh?

oh hush...



lemme guess, electroclash isn't popular because GOD FORBID guys like you jump on any sort of bandwaggon...

well my favorite bandwaggon is the one that all the "non bandwaggon jumping people" are on...

the, "fuck everything that's new and popular because i'm different and cooler than everyone else doing the same thing" bandwaggon.




oh and thanks jason i appreciate it!

Actually, I was referring to the image electroclash artists make for themselves, cos it is very compatible with your erm, rather outgoing attitude like you have explained to us earlier. Go listen to Miss Kittin - Frank Sinatra, you'll see what I mean.

As for the electroclash bandwagon-issue, I agree with you. But on the other hand, a lot of the music being labeled electroclash has little to no substance, or just steals ruthlessly from earlier pioneers like Afrika Bambaataa, Heinrich Müller or Kraftwerk. So I can understand the criticism. Neil Landstrumm didn't call one of his tracks "Gigolos Trapped In Retro Hell" for nothing.
