The Techno & House Music Thread

[Doll_Parts]

House music

House is probably my favourite genre of music. It's the ultimate feel-good party music that makes everybody welcome! I also think that house is the perfect fashion music, along with techno. It's a shame that, a lot of the time, the music used on catwalk shows is lame and outdated. I'm sure I remember seeing a Prada show where they played nothing but commercial hip hop... what is with that!? We need more house and techno! Anyway, I thought I'd start a thread so we can discuss good house tracks, albums, producers, DJs, club nights and just house in general!

Also, I've been looking for the name of a tune for aaaaaaaages and it's doing my head in! On the audio player, skip to Miss Moneypennys -

^ Agree that runway shows should just lay off the hiphop.
Techno&House is a lot easier to walk to because of the beat.

Silly question, but what's the difference between techo/trance/house?

sorry completely forgot about this thread/post, i've seen pretty much anyone you can name among the heavy hitters. by small dj's just the local lads who still dream of making it big. I've seen Vath before.


as far as house music goes.
my friend sent me his mix through podcast, and man it had me dancing, which is what house music is for.
this song in particular
Ian Pooley ft Esthero - Better Life

what a song!!!

if you guys are interested in exploring this genre further i recommend
visiting www.tranceaddict.com/forums although the name my say different we do all types of genres. see you there.

I see you live in America, so I was wondering who are the big or small DJs you saw...if they are the same we love in Europe or if overthere they play a different kind of techno.
I might be wrong but I don't think people like Sven Vath etc go to the States that often..ThankS!

I Love House! it's been my favorite for years, that's what is most popular in Bulgaria, but not so much here in Canada, but i just love the beat, I love Ibiza House as well!
And trance, electro..not as much techno, but trance... They are my favorites, that's mostly what I listen to - Dance, House, Trance

house is a spiritual feeling. a soul feeling.

House Music Lovers

House music - "A style of electronic dance music initially popularized in mid-1980s discothèques catering to the African-American, Lation and gay communities, first in Chicago, then in New York, Detroit and eventually Europe before becomning infused in mainstream pop & dance music worldwide."

I couldn't find any thread on this subject solely. But be free to include minimalistic, progressive etc, since they all touch anyhow.
For those of you who are in love with the bass and beat of house music like me, share your favourite numbers. Right now I mostly listen to these great artists:

Deadmau5
Daniel Portman
Pryda
Arias

www.housemusic4life.blogspot.com is a great source for more.
What is your favourite music and do you know any good sites?

Bass On
