It's because "normal" clubbers can now "get" the music. In Chicago, there has been an influx of new people to underground parties that weren't there before. I believe it has a lot to do with the accessibility of the music; vocals being a large part of that. Underground parties used to be strictly for the freaks.
Whether this is a good or bad thing, only time will tell.
That's great news Jesse! I just can't get the whole cheesy crap that's getting attention. I mean, as a producer, I can't imagine getting in my studio and want to make music like that... there's almost something wrong to this, beyond tastes but I know i have to be judgmental.
As for Montreal, that whole vocal house-disco was huge in 1995-1997. Akufen was making some of that stuff under various aliases but we all went to minimal around 1998 because we felt there's was a huge lack of "experience". What I mean here, to me, anything vocal is music but has no
experience feeling, something where you travel through sound, feel the psychedelics. I guess it will come back, through the back door. That's only good news I find.
