I am always fairly suspicious of clubbers who don’t have an appreciation of house music, its history and its touchstone records. And yes, Frankie Knuckles is the Don. Good to have a broad palette.

People like different things shocker

You’ll prob find that 100% of people on here have an appreciation for house music, Alistair.

There are just loads of overplayed and overrated tracks that can get in the bin, for eternity.

LT42 back in the early days of the boards, you’d be surprised at how many posters didn’t have any appreciation of House Music.

Going in to the wider scope, it baffles me how anyone who truly loves House Music and all its myriad hues can be racist, homophobic or generally be a cunt!

Never forget Vinnie the Way Out West-fan from Texas who was all three.

If you’re a self-professed house gangsta you can get away with it

LT42 Alison Limerick - Where Love Lives

…brilliant remix, absolute landmark.

No rush to hear it anytime soon.

Unbroken1 agreed, of its time, and it can stay there. Filed under pop-house with a multitude of “classics” that appeared on free CDs stuck to magazines.
I was a regular at Sir Henry’s in the early 90s with Greg Dowling & Shane Johnson, the best house DJs the country have produced, the best thing about their sets was the dropping of a vocal you’d know here and there and it would be an obscure remix, 99% of trax in their sets weren’t ID’d until years later.

LOL I’ll never not upvote a post about that nutter. Imagine if Nick Warren was Black but he didn’t know. Our man Vinnie would’ve gone way out dead with that discovery.

alistair

Interesting when we had that poll on the best track on the Xpander EP. I went with Xpander because it shook my world at the time despite the fact that it’s pretty much the last thing that I want to hear right now

Unbroken1

jonattonyeah A well placed classic can do wonders but I like the feeling of “oh what the fuck is this” far more.

…deffo, a lesser-known Strictly dub or Red Zone mix seamlessly placed in a set of new music is the way a decent DJ would do it, back then and now. Familiar elements, unfamiliar context.

alistair

Unbroken1 although JD has sprinkled his bunkers with some iconic classics and they have sounded immense on the booze 😂

Unbroken1

alistair …exactly in the way I’ve described though, no?

alistair

There are some all time classics like Someday or Tears or Pressure that no matter how many times you hear them still sound great when well placed like the bunkers. The message/sentiment and quality of vocal make them timeless, especially in troubled times. Great organic productions too. Morales/Knuckles/MAW stuff especially doesn’t age for me

Unbroken1

…no problem with those tracks, in the hands of a great Dj they can still sound immense.

My original point though, was that this is very different from the dynamic created by an entire set of back-to-back ‘classics’.

alistair

Unbroken1 100% agreed

I know what you mean mate. I went to a manor classics night a few years back. All the tunes were awesome but I deffo missed the ‘what is this tune’ feeling, no real peaks or troughs in the night. Once you’ve heard Xpander at 12.15 where do you go from there?

Was a good for a laugh but no match for a decent night out.

Heno

alistair yeah heard Alfredo play it in privilege at sunrise the year it came out in Ibiza in fairness it worked so well there but I can barely listen to it now

alistair

jb_808 even that sounds like a good night out right now!

bosstrabs Spot on….not too sure about Drum & Bass as I’d be the oldest cunt there….having said that I felt ancient at Bicep@printworks.
