LT42 I can’t listen to any of that “classic” house if I’m honest, certainly not any mixes anyway. I mixed with a crowd during those days who wouldn’t listen to anything else. Frankie Knuckles music all night. And they thought anything Prog related was low brow and would never last. Now they’re all bald, mortgaged up to their eyeballs and I’m about to tune into Nass lay them straight. Go figure.
The only dance music I can’t listen to ‘all night’ is drum n bass (can do about two hours - three if there’s a decent mc) and Swedish House Mafia style shite (can do about twenty seconds).
Never really seen a classic house/prog split. Most people I’ve hung around with in clubbing circles, from Cream to Fabric to Beijing days, have been as comfortable going to a classic house night as a techno night, so long as the music is decent.
LT42 I came in with Rave, moved on through proto-prog but always went to the house rooms at raves to “Chill Out”. Sunday mornings was always ceiling patrol listening to classic House but know what you mean about the snobbery of the original ‘heads’.
Bluebird Records used to stock Limbo back in the day and you’d go in there and they’d say “you don’t want more of that skag head shit, do you?”
I love listening to good classic house mixes, but struggle funnily enough with up to date House mixes.
In otherwords, I’m kinda glad there was a lockdown of sorts over Xmas as I would’ve been back at some house party listening to 30 different variations of Robert Owens - I’ll Be Your Friend.
Lol. That’s one record I never understood the hype around. I just don’t get it
I’ll be your, I’ll be your, I’ll be your, uh uh uh, I’ll be your….
Funny enough, I haven’t actually heard it in ages.
Never understood the snobbery of House. But it certainly existed. Like, don’t they realize to most people it all sounds the same? I love it as much as anyone but Joe Claussell isn’t exactly Beethoven here.
Lol Joe fucking Claussell. The biggest tool to ever step behind a set of decks
I think its an ‘originals’ problem. In the UK the 2nd wave of clubbers were Teds because they followed were people led. Almost stepping on their holy land they wanted to keep to themselves.
It was their secret.
I’m of the opinion that everyone has to start somewhere, just the journey is going to be different. Help them along the way, don’t give them shit as to how they start the journey. Eventually, you’ll all be on the same plain.
Lol, he’s a right old clown isn’t he.
Joe Claussell that is.
I think what I’m trying to say is Alistair better not be allowed near the tunes at the JC afterparty, lest a riot start.
More deets on Joe Claussell needed.
I don’t follow all this stuff on the Twattosphere or read the dance music gossip rags like Mixmag.
FabiParas In the UK the 2nd wave of clubbers were Teds because they followed were people led. Almost stepping on their holy land they wanted to keep to themselves.
I read an entire interview with Farley & Heller back in the late 90s where they were crapping on about Teds. I didn’t know what the fuck they were on about now and I still don’t. Is this a London thing?
They were even reviewing that month’s records in Mixmag/Muzik and kept dismissing everything as ‘ted-hop’ or ‘ted music’. It was really annoying actually, they came across as a right pair of old arseholes even then, tbh.
Have you not seen Buddy, the TV series with Roger Daltrey, Dave?
Just watch any video of him on Youtube Dave
Dry-Tinder Have you not seen Buddy, the TV series with Roger Daltrey, Dave?
No.
I’ve seen p’tang yang kipperbang if that helps?
So what. People having fun. Oh no what are we ever going to do. 99% of music is forgotten within a few years (sans GU13). What exactly are they gatekeeping? Love the irony of their “you just don’t really get it” snobbery while thumbing their noses at others for only going to raves to be “cool”. Dimwits.
