Larpers

This is what our very own Simple P likes to do on the weekends.  I'm fine living out my dreams through a screen.  Anyways, Larpers like House music, right?  Here's some House jams.

-M


Just Won't Do (ATFC & Warren Clarke Re-Vamp) - Tim Deluxe, Analog People In A Digital World feat. Sam Obernik (Golden Banana)
Totally obsessed with this one.  Another one of those songs that's just like, THIS is House music.  Totally makes me want to dawn a costume, go outside, and play Legend of the Seeker.

We No Speak Americano (Original Mix) - DCUP, Yolanda Be Cool
By no means a new track but new to the blog.  Wow.  Everyone get this, everyone.  Even people that don't listen to House music will love this one.

Nothing Better (Original Mix) - Eddie Thoneick & Erick Morillo feat. Shena
Really great track, love this one.

Malfunction (Original Mix) - Louis La Roche
You should know what to expect by this point, and if you don't, French Disco gold.  This one's got chopped samples galore.

Bubble Gutz (Original Mix) - Apster
Another fantastic Dutch track.  Look's like Apster is on Afrojack's label, Wall Recordings.


Thekla Riddim - MJ Cole (Crazy Banana)
This track is crazy.  So dancey, so amazing.  I can't even really explain it, absolutely worth a listen.

Drop That (Original Mix) - Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike & Albin Myers
Going for a Dutch sound with this one with a Prog build.

Rocketship (Starkillers Dub) - Shiny Toy Guns
Ravey sound exploited.

Also a big shout out to Wesleyan's own Alphda Delta Phi.  I love you, and I want to play at The Grotto again.

Oldskool Thizzime

Treating you today with a batch of Oldskool UK Garage tracks, for those of you that don't know, UK Garage is a genre which developed in the mid-nineties in england, inspired by RnB, Chicago House, and Acid, Garage producers began making a unique sort of house, with a DnB like west indies sound palate at hand, that english love for breaks and wobbles, with a dark techy trance-like vibe, that would be subtle at first but the fast distinctive 2-step shuffle and sweeping wobbling basses began to come to the forefront,

As it moved further away from house, and emphasized garage's unique characteristics it would eventually evolve and divide into its subgenres of Grime, Dubstep, and Bassline, starting in the early the '00s.

As the '10s begin we have seen these forms going back to their roots, embracing the RnB/House vibe, but nonetheless are now informed by the innovative sounds of Dubstep and the like. Some Dubstep producers started trying their hand at a tribal sort of house in the late aughties using a distinctive afro/latin beat, inspiring a massive wave of producers to try their hand at this exciting new mutation of Garage, Funky. The sound is constantly evolving, and producers are constantly motivated to enter new sonic territory, as such we can see a few more subgenres on the horizon, think the J.Orbison/Joker/Guido progressive sound or Zomby&Ikonikas dark 8-bit vibes, oi, idk interesting stuff ahead under the Silly, Funky, & Soulful umbrella of Garage.

Anyways here's a taste of where it all started, beats from the '95-'02 era, thought i'd give you a history since ill be passing a few of these out over time, feel*
