In Terms of House: Tribal, Dark, Vocal, Progressive, Curcuit, Soul, Beach, Gospel, Down Tempo, Lounge, Funky & some HiNRG! I like everything from the BIG ROOM BOOM to a laid back groove. Just click my friends list to see what music I'm into these days. ********************************* In terms of conventional music, I like many genres. I grew up on the radio and with an older brother who liked good ole rock & roll. As I moved into my early teens classic rock was my biggest influence. Led Zeppelin is still my favorite band. In my late teens and early twenties I worked for the Musicland Group aka Sam Goody/Musicland. There I became exposed to so many types and styles of music that I found myself even being able to tolerate some country western. I also discovered gay bars in my early twenties. Thus a house music junkie was born. ************************************* HOUSE MUSIC, Origin of the name: The name is said to derive from the Warehouse nightclub in Chicago, where the resident DJ, Frankie Knuckles, mixed classic disco and European synthpop recordings. Club regulars referred to his selection of music as house music. However, since Frankie was not creating new music at that time, it has been argued that Chip E. in his early recording "It's House" defined this new form of electronic music and gave it its name. However, Chip E claims the name came from methods of labelling records at the Importes Etc record store he worked at in the early 1980s. Music Knuckles played at the Warehouse was labelled "As Heard At The Warehouse", which was shortened to simply "The House", and the name became the vernacular. The common element of house music is a prominent 4/4 beat (a prominent kick drum on every beat, also known as four-on-the-floor) generated by a drum machine or other electronic means (such as a sampler). As well, house music uses a continuous, repeating (usually also electronically generated) bassline. Typically added to this foundation are electronically generated sounds and samples of music such as jazz, blues and synth pop, as well as additional percussion. As new recordings emerged, the house genre divided into a number of subcategories. Not everyone understands House music; it's a spiritual thing; a body thing; a soul thing. --as sampled by Eddie Amador. ********************************************* Techno is NOT an all-encompassing word to describe or refer to all electronic or dance music. Techno as defined by WikipediA is: a form of electronic dance music that had its early beginnings in Western Europe in the late 1970s and later developed and established as a genre in Detroit, Michigan during the 1980s. It was influenced by Chicago house, electro, New Wave, funk and futuristic fiction themes that were prevalent and relative to modern culture during the end of the Cold War in industrial America at that time. The popularity of techno in Europe peaked in the 1990s. ******** The term "techno" is derived from the word technology. Music journalists and fans of the genre are generally selective in their use of the term, careful not to conflate it with related but distinct genres, such as house, trance and hardcore. At the same time, "techno" is commonly confused with general terms such as electronic music and dance music. Electronic dance music has many forms, one of which is techno.******************************************** If you like it deep dark and hard then get to downloading.
