So I was reflecting this.
Now I thought I didn't like house. I dunno why, but it never appealed to me. But for last few months, I kept hearing house stuff and it just begun to seep into my mind so that my current fav is Coldplay - Speed of Sound (Steve Porter remix)
I also shook my ass more to Mark O's set more than rest of the djs except Ferry yesterday.
Gah! House! What have you done to my brain? |

You know.. i wasn't really too into house either.. i mean its not like i think its bad or anything.. but i'm just way more into trance...
then i saw Steve Porter... and i have to say that the set he played that night here in Windsor really opened my eyes.. house is pretty impressive stuff.. i could definately attend a party of all house music all night

| i think it has to do with growing accustom to the way edm is produced. in general trance is often a gateway, as it has big catchy leads. very noticable and in your face. but i think as ones tastes develop and grow more appreciation is given to the progression and subtle changes found in more progressive generes. |

Ive been noticing this trend in my musical tastes as well. Trance will always be my first and only true musical love, but theres the groove factor of prog and house that just gets me to do some serious booty shakin. Nothin like a ripping bassline to get you jumping!
I believe it was RJ (correct me if im wrong) that said
Trance=hands in the air music.
House=feet on the floor music |

Welcome to my world. Trance is seaming tier and tier to me (the new stuff) and I'm drifting towards house now. |

One only needs to look at the roots of all this music to know the answer.
House music was created largely by relatively modern-day black Americans who took existing instruments and sounds (in this case, of the electronic variety) and found ways to make them funky and cool by playing from the heart. It's the evolution of jazz, funk and soul, not counting the various tribal influences in some tracks.
Trance (or more specifically epic trance, as it is completely different from classic trance) was created by stuffy white Eurotrash academics following the rules set by Classical composers in the 17th to 19th century, and its legacy has been carried on by sweet-toothed candy kids with Attention Deficit Disorder and pirated copies of FruityLoops.
That should explain pretty well why today's trance has more instantaneous mass market appeal but house music kind of sneaks up on ya after a while. |
