ha yeah. there is a fine line between many genres and progressive house.

I tend to like bits of stuff from a few genres, I like dub style chords from dub techno, dark and brooding music from some forms of techno, deep house ep's, the techy side of tech house and the shuffle of straight up house. Somewhere in the middle of that is where I think I wanna be.::BLM:: wrote:AK wrote:My first attempt at this stuff came out like progressive house!

I couldn't agree more.::BLM:: wrote:I think having an open mind about all sub genres of house/techno is the way forward. I just went through all my records and found some proper belters that I would have dismissed at some point because that particular sound got super trendy and at that moment in time I had heard enough of it. Now though, after not listening to a record for a few years I can go back to it with fresh ears and judge it for what it is.
Yeah everything moves in circles so its only natural that you're going to be buying lots of stuff. Plus once you hear so much of a certain sound, you get bored and look for the next thing. Its nice though when you get to a place where you can just see it as music.Hades wrote:I couldn't agree more.::BLM:: wrote:I think having an open mind about all sub genres of house/techno is the way forward.

in fact, AK's post before sounded very familiar.
if you've been buying vinyl for a while, you kind of fall into these "high fidelity" situations...
I mean, how do you organize all of them ?
By style first ?
I would think so, but then you got quite a few 12" 's that have maybe house on one side, and techno on the other side.
By label ?
only possible for the bigger labels, or the ones that you love so much that you have bought a lot of their releases,
because nowadays everyone but your neighbours cleaning lady's cat has his own little label...
by artist ?
sure, but what about these shared releases ?
...
(I'm going for a combination of those for the moment. First a rough selection by style, then by artists, with just a few labels having seperate parts, but who knows how the situation will be in maybe one year from now)
diversity, it's a bitch sometimes...
