2019 Dec Let there be (twisted disco) house!
Back in the Club! This one is all about the beats, the rhythm and old House clubs feels and sounds. Twisted Disco? House infused with a twist of Disco and Tribal.
Starts with disco remix of the classic “Do you Remember House?” from Re-Tide.
The pre-millennials will recognize the HedKandi homage. When CDs were still a thing and labels could make money, compilations such as the HK ones were a must and introduce a whole generation to house in all its forms and iterations. We paid for them, discovered tunes and artists curated by the music directors of the labels. A very different landscape to the A.I. spotified generated playlists which due to the algorithm merely selects a very narrow sample what you are "supposed" to like.
The “Let there be House” series is my attempt to resurrect the genre with current tunes. There will be about 9 to 10 episodes in the “Let there be House” series, hopefully each with its unique flavour. No particular order but for the fact that we will go up tempo throughout the uploads.
Sixth episode runs from 123 bpm to 124 and will get you on your feet.

Highlights:
“Calling Out” from Sophie Lloyd perfection as far as current soulful house is concerned.
“Hit It Off” from Qwestlife, for the beats and the build from the drop. House for peak/rush time!
“My Love Can Take You Higher”, possibly the best soulful track of the year, tribal and soulful from Shawn Christopher.
“Work That” for the description of a gay warehouse party with Larry Heard on the decks and sound system. Priceless!
A bientôt.
