I like Resident Advisors charts, I've been digging most of their top 50 for December 2011 and top 50 for August 2011, both of which heavily feature Maceo Plex and Eats Everything. If anyone has any related acts toss em up.

Maceo Plex (Under The Sheets) is amazing. Definitely check out Hot Natured & VisionQuest - Hot Natured is a DJ collective of Jamie Jones & Lee Floss. Vision Quest is a record label run by Seth Troxler, Ryan Crosson, Shaun Reeves and Lee Curtiss. I'll post some songs and a hilarious interview with Vision Quest near the end of this post.

From the looks of it, Danny Daze & Matches (If This) would be right up your alley:

Depends what sound you're particularly fond of.. I'd choose London over the other cities but thats because I'm more into the house scene in the UK. Julio Bashmore, Eats Everything, A1 Bassline - then you also have the copious amounts of warehouse parties and clubs.

Also not only that but when you buy your records opposed to buying mp3s you're far more cautious as to what you're going to drop $xx on for a vinyl which then equates to a far greater collection. Quality over quantity.

Potentially stupid question but what are the defining qualities that separate deep house from regular house?

not a stupid question at all man. deep house is usually somewhere between 118 - 124 bpm; really raw and sexual sounding with nice deep (obviously) basslines. Regular house music is happy sounding where as deep house has more of a relaxed vibe.

Good idea.

I think I'll blend the summary about minimal with techno, provide a brief synopsis about tech house and then write about house and deep house. Thoughts? I'll re-update the entire OP during the holidays. Lets make this a collaborative megathread OP; the members of this thread all have fantastic taste and I'd like to have everyones input and tracks on it as well.

For the record, het said theres absolutely no way he'd be able to name the thread "Cool Dudes That Know How To Party Megathread" hahaha. The thread name needs to have relevance to newcomers. Any other ideas? (IN THE BEGINNING THERE WAS JACK, AND JACK HAD A GROOVE.)

28 Gun Bad Boy posted:

Too House-y! You've always got something like "Beyond The Dance". Some subtley different meanings going on with that too.

Anyway personally - if I can be big headed for a moment though - I'd definitely check out my OP in the UK Bass thread. I like to think I did a pretty good job of it. Defining everything quickly and (as well as I can anyway) coherently, in one or two paragraphs. Explaining what that sound and this sound is all about, how X came from Y. I mean not getting into too much spergy detail about every little niche sound and micro-scene, but just enough to get a bit of a bearing. Making people realise it's all connected, it's all part of one big lineage of progessive (small p) black dance music.

Surprisingly it's the one thing Ishkur's guide got right. Well I say right, I mean less wrong, but thanks to the flowchart-ness of it all you could see how stuff spawned from such and such, when it roughly happened etc. A lot of it was wrongly and badly done, but it was about the only interesting bit of it. Makes you wish it was actually written by someone who knew what the gently caress they were talking about.

Thanks! I'll keep all those things in mind.

This threads direction slightly shifted as the momentum began to grow, posts went from techno to (quite literally) some deep sounding vibes. There are a lot of other accompanying threads within NMD, should we just keep the posts here exclusively techno or still cross over to some of the deeper sounding stuff as well?


Hatem Ben Arfa posted:

I'm more than happy to help out with it; 28 Gun Bad Boy's OP is nicely laid out like he said so if you want any graphics done for each section then lemme know. Wouldn't put a section solely on house in though, keep that for the other thread mabye? Deep house definitely, way more fitting with this thread.

Content: Chris Walsh & Dave Beran- Shake (Revolt Clogrock Remix) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_BnXRlcwvg
GTA3 soundtrack is so good

Perfect!

The other house thread you're referring to is the "The House/Electro/Synth and accompanying genres megathread" right? I think their interpretation of house is the more mainstream Avicii/Hardwell type sound. It's two different things, I'm not really sure what type of house they post there but if its anything similar to whats been in this thread I'll contribute those type of tracks there instead. :)

blacksun posted:

This is why I don't see a point trying to singularly define 'sounds' or 'genres' in this increasingly diverse music scene. All it does it shoebox those genres and further contribute to pretentious idiots saying 'THAT isn't techno, only THIS is techno'.

You can however look at the history of where these sounds developed, what influences and other genres they merged / split into and where they look to be going in the future.

I agree 100% with your last statement - we'd be updating the OP every few months if we'd have to keep up with the current trends in the techno and house scene. I think it would be better to display some classic gems within the OP and then indulge in conversation in our actual thread.

Should we still create this into a megathread and cater both to house and techno? Someone raised concerns about how newcomers might be confused by the different genres. I think if they'd go through the entire thread they'd learn the different genres based upon the posts and discussions. In the future I plan on writing about my favourite labels alongside with links to their artists. As long as people come to the thread and walk away hearing something they like thats all that matters. I'll edit out the OP after the new year, if anyone would like to contribute with it just remind me and I'll keep you in the loop.
