girly vocalists & dancefloors & shit .. unless i have a weird idea of what 'broken beat' is
You probably do. Most people that aren't or weren't into it have very bizarre ideas of what broken beat actually sounds like.
its a lot more dwele-remix type polite soulful shit right?? it seems a lot less populist or something
I have to say I'm not all that up on a lot of the micro-genres that keep springing up on the house scene over here. It's very much something that the young 'uns are into, and not only do I no longer really frequent the kind of spots where they play this stuff, but I'm generally the kind of house dude who'd much sooner bump 15-year-old Terrance Parker records anyway. I do like that Kyla thing, though, and, to the extent that I am aware of that scene, it does tend to fairly typically reflect the UK tendency to throw a bunch of different shit in the pot, style-wise - dancehall, r&b, pop, UK 'garridge' - and produce something with a distinctly local flavour.

yeah, it's like the house part is implied...
good mix of stuff taken from pirate radio tapes here:

this is coming from less of the poppy/glossy side of things and more from the percussion heavy vibe.... the guy who compiled this stuff is a dubstep producer, so there you go...
The Omar stuff I know, but would not classify as "Broken" in, I dunno, the Ealing sense of the word. When I think "Broken" I think about the Bugz/Neon Phusion stuff - real science beats. The Omar and that Donaeo business still have, to me, a kind of soca/bloco vibe to them - the beat is still too "Human" to be a broken.
I still think there is unfilled space between where broken tails off and Steve Coleman/MBASE step in. Steve Williamson had a go, check "Journey to Truth" which IMHO is one of the best UK discs of the 90s, any genre.
they play this w/ house music & some of the songs they use in mixes are str8 up house music ... ive been listening to some marcus nasty mixes & theyre way fun. theyll have mcs spitting quaint british party rhymes over 'mirror dance' which is a house track ... i dunno what other kind of music you would call this other than house
Haha....
Post-House???
I would call any of the stuff listed as House Music.
Yes it can get played w/in House Music sets but...
Symbols & Instruments + Rozalla. From when Ibeefa was real man. You know around 94.
definitely...
west london grown n sexy (bugz) vs east london kids music (donaeo et all)
the funky stuff i like sounds like grime at 125bpm, stuff like this: http://www.chemical-records.co.uk/sc/servlet/Info?Track=FB01B
All this shit is really just a development of that whole "UK garridge" thing that emerged in the mid-90s over here. The big influences on that scene were people like Todd Edwards, Mark Kinchin, MAW, Sneak, Murk, Lenny Fontana or Armand Van Helden, all of whom I'd regard as essentially house dudes. It's certainly closer to house than to anything else; in fact, musically speaking, it's a lot closer to my definition of house music than most of what's come out of all those vaguely-related UK micro-scenes for quite a long time.
F*ck all micro-genres.
"mirror dance" is some grade A schitt though...
btw, i never seen that "do you mind" video. that kyla is beautiful!
Or alternatively Aser.
Headz are not knowing the deal.
Most of these comments = Fakeass Nickname talking about rap.
