It's really a shame that more people don't get into house music. For those of you who don't know, house is what many of you refer to as "techno" although it isn't techno, it's house. House generally has a 4/4 beat, runs between 120 and 130 bpm (beats per minute) and often has a soulful vocal, a smooth bassline, and lots of magic with the high hats...
Anyway, my description is probably not serving you well, if you don't know what house is, then you probably wouldn't even understand that description. Let's just say that it is great music that makes you want to dance. My point of all of this, is that I am in a house groove right now, I am digging the laid back soulful house of Paris... man is it good. I walk through the city, and ride the metro all the while listening to this soulful, uplifting music called "house." It seems to connect me deeper into the city, unlike some other forms of electronic music that feel more foreign in these parts. It's amazing.
Now I am *hoping* that there are a few of you out there that know what I'm talking about. A few of you who get the whole vibe. Well, back in 1987 there was a song released called "Can you feel it" by Mr Fingers, and from that song almost every major house record was born. Not only house records, but techno, breaks, the whole lot... they all use samples from this magic cut. So, in honor of hose music... and in honor of the most random post I have written in a while; here are some of the lyrics to "Can you Feel it."
In the beginning, there was Jack, and Jack had a groove.
And from this groove came the groove of all grooves.
And while one day viciously throwing down on his box, Jack boldy declared,
"Let there be house!" and house music was born.
I am, you see,
I am the creator, and this is my house!
And, in my house there is only house music. But, I am not so
selfish because once you enter my house it then becomes OUR house and
OUR house music!" And, you see, no one can own house because
house music is a universal language, spoken and understood by all.
Man that is GOOOOOOOOD stuff.... LET THERE BE HOUSE!
So where's the link love? Give us some links to some good house music!! :)
