Yeah, I believe the same applies to house. You know, this cheesy house with some vocals thrown in there, talking about the sun and the love around us. :D Dunno why but I enjoy it occasionally.

Who?

Vocal house is just house with vocals. Doesn't seem any more of a genre than "piano house" to me.

Also, perhaps Sushi could host the mixes for the competitions?


More than happy to host any/all of them.

You know... them! :p

My first mix for this challenge was "Chicago/Detroit House", and the only real guidelines for me was to look for tracks with black chicks doing the vocals. Would you call "Chicago/Detroit House" an actual genre?

Edit: I also don't think that vocal trance is anything but trance with vocals either. Much like "piano trance" :)

Of course Chicago house is a genre. Come on man, that's Dance Music History 101.

I'd like to take that course. Teach me, oh wise one.

Just listen to this compilation: http://www.discogs.com/Various-The-.../release/167514

I really like what I'm hearing so far. I don't think my mix was too far off. I always considered Chicago House to be more of a regional style rather than an actual genre. I suppose I stand corrected.

I'm having a hard time figuring out the difference between 2 Step/UK Garage and UK Funky. All the samples I hear sound pretty similar.

Majority of these genres look good to me.. just a couple I'll be pissed about getting.

There is certainly similarity, in fact its probably fair to say that UK funky is a direct descendant of UK garage. I only have a limited knowledge of UK funky so this could be a little off but Id say that garage is closer to breaks and house where as funky would be more like dubstep and possibly a bit more aggressive.

Not sure Ive worded that quite right but its how I see the difference in my head. I could be speaking out my arse though, Ive never really paid much attention to UK funky and I gave up on garage when I left Romford haha.

EDIT. Examples...

UK Funky


UK Garage
