  • Test One was my sh!t growing up. For the longest time I thought it was called Test Tube thus having a difficult finding this joint.

    Ah memories.....

    Some amazing tunes in there. Robin S' "Show Me Love" was good to hear after so long. Propsarone.

    The D-Mob was crazy to see after all these years. That guy screaming aceeeeeeeed! used to scare me when I was a kid. Looks so bugged out.

    Is it hard to find an audience for this stuff these days?

    I'm only new to retro house, largely due to me reading "Last night a dj saved my life". But I love the vibe, the attitude and the sound of early house.

    Would it be correct in me saying that most kids who listen to house these days don't seem to give a fuck about their musical history - or at least show any affection to the early house sound?

    everybody says this about all genres, if anything house has a much larger fanbase obsessed w/ its past than most. at least in this country

    Yeah that's what I was thinking. Plus house music never really died off, so a lot of people have been with it since close to the beginning. If anything, serious house fans can be reverent to the point of boredom... see also deephousepage.com

    ^^^Yeah that said a lot of it is driven by this whole soulful/authentic/'realness' thing that would have been bizarre to anyone who was listening to, you know, acid house back in '88 or whatever. So in some sense while house heads are all about history, its a very exclusive/narrowminded view sometimes about what that history actually includes

    Yeah for sure! Although that backwards-looking quality was there at the beginning for those producers who were trying to keep disco alive.

    While I was writing that last post, it occurred to me that I've been listening to 'proper' house since '93, which means that more house music history has happened while I was listening to it than before... where's the grumpy old dude graemlin?
