electro house?

**DannyBlack** · 19-01-2007, 04:43 PM

DK7 have some good electro house out there, but on the whole not really into the genre.

it's odd how things are getting lumped in the electro-house category at the moment. seems like anything that has a techy beat and more emphasis on tweaked synth bass-lines and leads is being called electro-house by the shops. I suppose the seller has to choose a category to put stuff under for better or worse but it can lead to some confusion.

for example I really like some of the stuff in the electro-house category on juno such as leger or some of the pickadoll tunes and a few tunes from kompakt extra germany. on the other hand most of prydz (not his cirez d stuff) stuff, hoxton whores, that ****ing cicada tune and of some of the popish sounding stuff seems to be a world away from the stuff I like.

I guess the lesson is don't get too caught up on genre names. does it fit with your set, does it make you move your body. ok then....

my friend Chris Lake produces a lot of electro house, he's done a few collabs with Sebastian Leger too, some of it i like some i don't...

think the sound has been battered to death over the past couple of years...

yeah the sound has been battered. ledgers new stuff i would say is much harder and techy. the realease on pickadoll is immense. 2 of my fav tunes at the minute on it!

i just like good music, no matter what genre it comes under, after hearing relentless hard techno for so long, i've gone looking for more melodic music that's got some groove to it to.

Plus it goes well with tech house

**Tiptoe** · 20-01-2007, 02:45 PM

i like mixing up minimal and electro i think they go really well together

Yeah, it's nice to bring some of the electroish stuff in to liven things up a bit.

that's the way, mate, imo. i dare say hits need either melodies and/or vocals. isn't it strange that whenever the question ''what would you want to be played at your funeral?'' rarely gets answered with techno-, house- or dance-tracks in general? to me that say it all. still there's a place for disharmonic/non-melodic stuff in my heart.

yeah, your right there. the white shadow 12" is a savage example of that.

i have a record by em called 'wheres the fun' very electro housey. good track. im very partial to a bit of electro when im sick of blisteringly fast beats.

**mattboyslim** · 23-01-2007, 12:41 PM

i dont mind some of the tracks lumped into this bracket, but i dont like all the funky house djs claiming to play 'electro'. give them aux88 and see how much they like 'electro'.

and whats that tribally house track that claims to be the electro anthem, with some guy chanting shit about electro? heard it on radio 1. its not even electro house, never mind electro.
