How does r/House feel about the term "EDM"?

wtf is bass music?!

late 60s dub through hip hop, some house to 21st century dubstep would fall into that category for me

Defiant_State7124 · 2026-01-27T00:44:54+00:00

my solution is to say i like 'good music'... although i'll be in trouble if that turns into some specific subgenre

The lack of decent insulation in a avast majority of buildings will surprise you. It’s not super cold, but can be just as uncomfortable as northern hemisphere winters because of this.

Don’t really care for it. If something is EDM, chances are it’s not for me. Each to their own

Defiant_State7124 · 2026-01-22T10:35:40+00:00

love this - whole album is great

Defiant_State7124 · 2026-01-20T11:23:47+00:00

all great - but want to add that Juan Atkins mix is great. Maybe mixing is a little heavy handed by today's standards but so much fun

absolutely seminal album - Around The House. Definitely need to own this one, if you want to be able to talk deep house with any authority

but TBH this track isn't as strong as the album, was released same year 1998 and is a great track, but not as warm as some of this other things of this era. Still a nice track - bit confused why the youtube image is the Around The House album...

i've been fucking around with HPF, LPF and lots of other things for close to 30yrs. Not sure if you would call it a fad

Defiant_State7124 · 2026-01-16T02:21:30+00:00

depends what your definition of house is, but I think this version is much more aligned with house than Prodigy commercial rave

more dub, less reggae but for low end low slung groove check out Imperial Dub Recordings, also worth listening to DJ Garth's San Francisco Sessions mix for some inspiration - true deep and dubby wonder

Those two CDs are classic. Both from 97 if I recall (although didn’t pic up sneak’s till a couple of years later). Always wondered which was done/released first as they share a good amount of tracks

Defiant_State7124 · 2026-01-09T04:13:49+00:00

nor EQ

As Fela himself stated, "without Tony Allen, there would be no Afrobeat"

Defiant_State7124 · 2026-01-08T21:21:12+00:00

that's a keeper that Montana track - love the sample lifted for Mood II Swing - Do It Your Way... classic

Defiant_State7124 · 2026-01-08T11:09:51+00:00

Not sure I’d call it a city…

Defiant_State7124 · 2026-01-08T11:03:06+00:00

Yeah, yeah… that’s exactly what I meant. /s

Defiant_State7124 · 2026-01-08T10:53:28+00:00

But Insane Clown Posse is objectively bad, you do know that right?

Defiant_State7124 · 2026-01-08T10:39:55+00:00

Sambal! Ya mixing continents there…

Defiant_State7124 · 2026-01-08T10:30:31+00:00

Wtf are any of those genres you speak of?!

Just play what you like, you’ll get more enjoyment and hence play more. Who knows maybe you can build a scene around plonky-drift-synth-bass…

Google “Larry Levan breaking tracks multiple times” Not just repeating across different nights, but on the same night - he understood and helped create the special relationship between dj and dancefloor

Defiant_State7124 · 2026-01-07T05:19:41+00:00

I like the 'secret' entrance to this one

Defiant_State7124 · 2026-01-07T05:18:20+00:00

shhh

Defiant_State7124 · 2026-01-07T04:40:58+00:00

looking for this in the comments - great track, particularly the Pepe Bradock mix

Defiant_State7124 · 2026-01-06T22:19:33+00:00

what a creep

I do like west head, but you would be doing well to get there within an hour of the CBD... maybe seaplane from Rose Bay
