i dunno if it's just our group of friends who have been noticing this, but lately it seems that good stompy house sets- you know the kind that make you smile and want to shake your ass- amongst toronto residents are becoming more and more scarce.
it seems everyone is leaning alot towards minimal or tribal as of late, leaving us true house heads wondering why this is.
is it just the direction electronic music is taking, is it dj's wanting to expand their versatility, or is it just good ol' fashioned house music isn't cool anymore?
it's a shame, truely, because it has been since before the new year i can rememebr a really chuggy, stompy, dirty house set- anyone else noticing this at all, and why do you think this is?

I always thought that the music would get faster and harder but it seems to have regressed...
And Tribal has gone the way of house as well..
Ppl are just being trendy in my opinion... |

What is "the music"? There is tons of upbeat music being produced right now. Techno (not minimal or tech house) is coming back in a big way again with the DJs who used to play a lot more minimal. The "New Age" Electro ala Ed Banger Records and MSTRKRFT has been blowing up for a while now too. |

| not so sure about tribal, but definitly the last time i've been out its all electro/minimal house. Spent the last hour searching for tracks on Beatport and the trend is there too, everything is very hard with only a few notes in there. I've always like the beats in house more than trance, but house needs to get some melody back...i'm sure people are producing it but i'm having a hard time finding it... |

i agree with this as well, however you can't lump all house in together ( lets not get into splitting hairs when it comes to 'identifying' genres).
i'm not talking dicso/ diva . i'm talking dirty, chuggy, stompy house. the kind when the dj is going off all you can do is smile to yourself, shake your head and think 'when is this guy going to let up and give me a break here'.
a good example of such a set was one dekoze spun 2 years ago at the Drink during the 10 year anniversary of the Guv. that room was going OFF.
huge difference.
and sadly you just don't hear sets like that much anymore.
they lately seem to leave you unsatisfied- like have sex for hours and never blowing your load, to be blunt. |

Funky vocal house is real house music. That's where began.
If you want stompy grating electro house, I believe you can find it by going back to 2004. |
