In all fairness any registered user can modify any attribute of a discogs release, including genre/style. Its all subjective so citing discogs doesnt really help to argue your case either way.

Fairly certain I've seen you use discogs to cite the genre of a track many times.
Mattsanity.
All I know is that Benny Benassi - Satisfaction (2002) turned heads when it came to the dirty style of electro house.

Proof or it didnt happen.

That is flawed logic.

First time I heard "Flat Beat" was in France in '99 right when that song first started blowing up... back then I always associated it more with speed garage (and it got caned a lot by a bunch of garage DJs IIRC).
The first song with those big farty basslines that blew up big was of course Satisfaction. That got MASSIVE commercial airplay here in NY. Though I almost wanna argue that Who Da Funk - Shiny Disco Balls was one of the first electrohouse songs (though still borrowed a lot from the filtered disco-house that was popular around that time).
Disc 2 of "This is Everybody" by Sander Kleinenberg was probably the first time I recall of a big DJ putting on electrohouse on one of his mixcomps.

Yes but I've found the genres listed on discogs to be extremely accurate for things I've looked up. Way more so than wikipedia
and impressively even so for things that are a complicated combination of 4 different sounds.
Yes it's not the end all of musical genres, however I definitely agree with it in this case (and having it be that genre and having been that way for a while certainly adds weight to that side of the debate).
So yes I know it's rebel to critisize authorities on whatever subject but bugger off I'm aware of it's limitations.

Are you capable of recognising that what Discogs categorises something as in 2012 is not necessarily the same as what people categorised that thing as eight years ago?

That's so funny. I was thinking of posting it, so I went to youtube and put it on so I could have some readin music, then after about 20 secs of music your post came up :)
But honestly it's more proto-fidget house than electro house. While Mr Oizo have been a big drive force in bringing the big noisy saw electro sound that we now call Electro House, the earliest electro house I remember listening to had round square basses and a much more minimal percussion, giving it a much tidier sound image.
Basically it was a lot of tech housey stuff being made on 808's and 909's tuned to an early electro sound, only with a much bigger and more prominent kick drum, and old school analogue synths (or emulations thereof).

Discogs has been around since 2000. I'm pretty sure they haven't waited until now to catalogue it. :p
