How would you guys describe this sound? To me it sounds like the backing track of a Massive Attack song (and it's amazing). So I guess I'd classify it as triphop without vocals :P
when anyone creates a track, record, song ect. they dont do it so it can be classified and fought over, it was meant to be enjoyed and listened to...stop talkin and listen to it.
I've recently been opening my mind to lots of different genres. Somewhere along the way...I guess I happened to gain a liking for certain trance mixes. Never been raving in my life but some of that stuff is good music. To write to, chill to, whatever. Fact is, some of us just get turned off by unnecessary genre placement. People tend to stereotype. I dont really care if this IS house music (Negating comments say otherwise) but it is good. A name is just a name. /end rant. :)
What it is is original music, as with any song that falls into any other catagory. Fortunately thanks to youtube if you don't like what you are you are hearing you can very easily click on any number of links and try something else. it's much less time consuming than arguing about where it fits. I dunno if anyone has noticed but the world thrives on the new, the independant, the stand out.
If every artist made music with anticipation to fit in a genre, music would never change. as with life.
As a DJ, I do get a bit anal about genre categorizing, but I don't remark how it's incorrect. I like to better understand the roots of the song. Usually you have one main genre and a sub genre. Like Electro House. Or Acid Trance. If you been around awhile, not only will you understand what these terms are describing sound wise, but they also tell a story of how music evolved over the years. So, no this isn't house, per say, but it's got a specific feel to it that rhymes with house.
Not that house now and days has that feeling like it use to. But it's still around. Think around 2001-2004, maybe 05 era. If you remember Sasha's Maida Vale Essential Mix, he opened with a song that isn't too far off from this song. This song is way more kick ass though :)
i love my house with music, especially this....most guys trying to make stuff like this just make it sound like a fire alarm or i imagine so lol,im not really caught up in classifying the music, its all music, just like humans they all humans man, culture will die and i see this playing while a video in fast motion shows it, and our evolution happening
Whilst I agree with you that clasifying all forms of Dance has gotten a bit silly, what with there being almost millions of unnecessary genres now for even the smallest cross-overs, he is right. This is Breakbeat mate. It just helps to determine what style a DJ prefers to play. I love Breakz and I quite like house, trance etc. However, I fucking hate most modern electro as I think it's boring as hell so I'll stay away from sets that the DJ says he is playing that.
Point taken, kieranjones99. Just didn't like his abrupt comment. The way I see it, is if you've not got something good to say, then don't say it. The guy's clearly a bit up himself being a DJ and all that. He is American after all... he's probably never met a Scotsman before. We don't like shite like that.
Yeah it's quite often a sad fact that a lot of guys who DJ are big-headed twats. I know many who just do it for a hobby, as I do, who as soon as they get in that booth reckon they're an A-list celebrity. It's the people that reckon they're trendy for liking the music as well. I remember being at the Cross in London for a house night once and there were so many people acting like total tossers. Most were on coke which I took as the main excuse for their knobish behaviour.
@dimachaerus: Even if it is abrupt, I don't think it was intended as the in-your-face insult you seem to have construed it as. Also, being American has nothing to do with it, nor you being Scottish.
@chrixated Yep...we call that Breakbeat! Freeland is one of this style's masters alongside with others who paved the way in the 90's and early 2000's like the Chemical Brothers,Prodigy,Fatboy Slim and many others (these were just some of the most popular back then). Many have contributed to this style,list is too long. But yes this is not House music. Breakbeat for me is a blend between House and Hiphop.
@chrixated It's possible he was simply stating he loves house music. I don't see anywhere in the album art where it says he "is" house music, plays house music, etc...
It sounds more drum and bass versus house. Maybe house played a big part in his inspiration.
esto si es musica electronica buena, es una pena que mil payasadas tengan mil visitas y esto no llege a cien. gracias de veras por subir la cancion un saludo desde andalucía (:D)
@ top comments section: I don't give a rat's ass if you call it house music, breakbeat, fuckmonkey or shitstorm. It's great music. So chill!
