Tiesto to do a Deep House radio show! (pg. 2)

We could go way back into the 90s if we wanted to define an era when deep house was actually fresh on the scene.

The deep house of the '90s was a notably different flavour to what we're talking about now. Slow, deep, warm, melodic house started becoming seriously popular again around 2009, right around the time the nu-disco trend really kicked off. To suggest that Tiesto is jumping aboard because of a compilation that came out a couple of weeks ago is pretty silly.

Avid trance fans have absolutely no ing clue what's actually going on in the world of electronic music.

Not in the slightest.

Not until one of the 40+ year old pillars of some long-dead scene declare they're making an "artistic move".

You'd think Vinnie would be aware of this, as his beloved Way Out West actually got on board the bandwagon nice and early with their last album back in '09.

My least favorite album of theirs, it didn't come across as a deep house album in the slightest (progressive house, sure). Clearly, we're working with different definitions.

I just thought it was an interesting time for this Tiesto announcement to surface, because he likes attention and misses his status as DJMag's #1 no doubt.

Since the hostility is getting poured on thick and I'm apparently an avid trance fan with no clue what's happening in the world of electronic music, I think it's time to let some folks enjoy their chinstroking and exit this stage.

It isn't deep house, but it was certainly WOW applying a warm, funky, retro-house influence to their sound, which was the prevailing direction at the time. WOW are too much of a class act to outright style-bite, but coming 5-6 years after their last album and the end of prog, coming out of 5 year siege of minimal and tech domination, that they made an album that sounded like that shows they had a finger on the pulse.

Alright, I can appreciate that description (a fusion, if you will). I hadn't really considered much of their work as deep house (traditionally speaking) until the aforementioned Deep05 compilation.

Classic Tranceaddict music discussion moment #204

You guys are absurd.

No wonder new users avoid this dusty ass forum. A bunch of elitists using every opportunity to bash something.

The mix is 100 times better than anything he's played or produced recently. Forget it's Tiesto. It's a podcast with some groovy music. It's dope.

But nahhhh. We have to argue about all the variables outside of it.

Just STFU. Jesus.
