Sylva Santagar Posted April 17, 2014 Author Share Posted April 17, 2014 Glad you like it! What are the classic house albums? Like, all-time. I can throw in some names I think are pretty relevant when i think about the word "classic".... Frankie Knuckles Roland Clark Larry Heard/Robert Owens Eric Miller Louie Vega/Kenny Gonzales Vince Lawrence Just to name a few... Imho, the best single house album ever was: Daftpunk - Homework Probably not a very original choice... but this album is the shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigima Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Thanks! Any other specific albums or sets to recommend? I'm interested mainly in deep house so I think this is in your wheelhouse. I have a few Daft Punk albums (Discovery, Homework, Random Access Memories) and I like some stuff from them but a lot of it feels almost Fisher-Price. I know that's a "me" problem and they've been hugely influential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opisthokont! Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Gonna check out some of your links, but I'd like to hear some of your "normal" trance recs. It's been a very long time since then and I haven't really been looking for any new trance music the past 15 years or so. Back then I mostly listened to Swedish music, so it was people like Antiloop, Pinocchio, and Earthbound (apologies for all the cheesy voice samples, it was the 90s after all). I think the first trance music that got me hooked was Antiloop's debut EP, Not suitable for mass consumption, which was ironically named considering that exactly this type of music was in every top list in Europe one or two years later.

Imho, the best single house album ever was:Daftpunk - Homework Probably not a very original choice... but this album is the shit.Unfortunately, house DJs and the like don't usually release much in the way of "album" format, usually a bunch of 12"s. While yes, I do have great taste (haha), I can't claim to be an expert, I did ask a friend who I would consider very well versed for his option. Echoing Sylva a bit, he mentioned Frankie Knuckles, Larry Heard, And Mr Fingers as DJs to check out, as well as anything from Trax records. There are a bunch of compilations (yeah, my old song) that collect a bunch of the stuff. Anything in the dance section that mentions the words "Chicago", the aforementioned "Trax", and dates in the 80s, or any similar combination or permutation thereof, are probably golden.Sorry, we're all gearing up for Record Store Day, so I'll hopefully have more in a few days after our brains re-congeal....

Inigima Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Thanks. And yeah, comps and DJ sets are totally fine. I picked up a Frankie Knuckles/Mr Fingers split, and it's good. i think I didn't mention this in my original post but I'm looking more for deep house than the old(er) school Chicago stuff, though I'll certainly listen to that as well. EDIT: Picked up a couple things: Southport Weekender Vol. 10, a comp mixed by Miguel Migs and Atjazz. Consensus seems to be that the first disc (Miguel Migs, tracks 1-19) is the main attraction. This is recent, from last year. Moodymann - Mahogany Brown, an older release from 1998. Also picked up a couple of Anjunadeep mixes, but as usual I am less than impressed by their work.

Durckad Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 I'm no expert on electronic music like at all but I did pick up the new Liars album today and... it's pretty killer so far. Mess on a MissionPro Anti AntiMask MakerVox Tuned DED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inigima Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I've been listening to the silliest, most embarrassing subgenre I know. Would love suggestions on nu italo I can actually buy. Don't judge me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frey Filet Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Great suggestions, everyone..especially this :drool: Digitalism kicks ass... loved every single album!!!! They do awesome remixes...

I started listening the EDM in the late '90s so I tend to gravitate towards DJ mixes, preferably trance, house, and drum and bass...I guess I'm more mainstream.

Frey Filet Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Glad you like it! What are the classic house albums? Like, all-time. Classic all-time house artists would have to be Frankie Bones, who was one of the pioneers of house music in early '90s NYC. My all-time favorite raw house album would have to be Frankie Bones' Factory 303. Older Carl Cox should also be in this discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiDisaster Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Don't know a damn thing about all the millions of subgenres there are so I can't tell you what each of these fall under but oh well. I've been listening to these a lot lately. Lindsey Lowend - Sass Mouth <- Reminds me of something out of a video game, isn't chiptunes though. eg: . This is awesome.

Sir Thursday Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Been listening to some videogame-inspired music recently. I've never played Castlevania, but there's a particularly good remix album of some of the tracks that I've been loving: Joshua Morse - VLAD. Kind of makes me want to give the original game a try (although I suspect after hearing these remixes I'd probably be a little disappointed by the real thing :P) ST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ST Don't have links to hand, but a couple of other electroswing artists worth checking out are Parov Stelar and Gramatik (either not exclusively electroswing or there are two artists with the same name - look for "Hit That Jive").
