that no1 in deep house at the moment isnt that well made either. all they have done is take a drum loop and chopped up cream by wu tang. how creative!
You kinda sound like a hater. That's one of the most classic and recognizable hip hop sequences in history. Whoever the hell Claptone is, good on him.
Granted, it ain't deep house, but so what.
great so someone takes something that is well known, samples it and releases it. I dunno, but I like hearing new ideas, not something that has been done lots of times before. Was it solomon that did them Warren G ones? Wasnt really feeling them either, its like comical house music. Would you really want to hear that sort of music at 7am in some grotty dark club off your nut?
Seriously though, I do not hate the charts. I was just pointing out that
GOOD MUSIC makes no difference to sales. There is some quality that gets through sometimes, but it in all honestly the charts don’t relate to
MY TASTES IN MUSIC.
I have no problem with beatport. I like it, if I can’t find something on vinyl straight away I always go to beatport and most of the time it has it. Even some of the old classics on Svek they have, which is a great label.
Who says your taste in music is good? I'm goading you, obviously, but you see my point?
People always harp on "new ideas" in dance music like it actually really happens that often. I haven't been taken aback by such an idea except maybe a few times a year and the first time I heard proper minimal tracks back in the early 2000's. I remember specifically the last time I was impressed by such an idea was when I heard the early Objekt releases. Who exactly is doing these groundbreaking new tracks? Everyone is doing spins on old ideas.
Almost everything has been done before. Granted. However if someone does those same old ideas in a "good" way then I'm cool with that. Who is REALLY making new sound generating modules? Look at all the hardware and software that has come out in the last two years. NONE of it is groundbreaking, really, even though a lot of it is GOOD. I mean the hottest sh!t right now is VSTs that emulate desks? C'mon.
I, personally, got sick of constantly searching for the newest sh!t. It gets old and it turned me into someone that had a hard time appreciating new music. I'd rather just take it in for what it is.
FFS the biggest new names in house/techno right now are all rehashing old styles!
For the record, I am a humongous nostalgic and yes, I would get down to a Wu-Tang sampled track. Or a Warren G sampled track. I would even make a track with those samples. Those albums/songs immediately transport me to a time when my life was much different and I connect with them on a level that cannot be done in other ways. That connection alone is enough to make me listen to and like them.
