Some Call It House Music


Seeing as i had this post prepared it seemed a shame not to share it, so here you go, a selection of great House music for your listening pleasure!

Classic disco vibes and a vocal segment unnecessarily reminding you to 'Get Funky,' its Saturday Night Fever for the modern listener - this solid House release comes from 'Cecille Italy,' an outstanding album compiled entirely of tracks by Italian producers - fantastic stuff

Get Funky (Original Mix) - Pirupa.mp3
 
(please be patient with the players, click play once and then wait)

A buzzing Electro House track utilizing an epic sample of clear trumpet blasts. Slightly harder hitting bass than the original groove makes it one of my choice tracks of the moment, it was released on March 15th and is available here

Loud Sound Games (Fish Sellers Remix) - Mark K.mp3
 
(please be patient with the players, click play once and then wait)

Roman Brisker and Igor Magitman produce some of the best music coming out of the (Psy-Trance dominated) Israeli electronic music scene. 'Whispering' is one of the best tracks from 'Just Another Day,' their  debut full-length album released in 2008 -  its a beautifully textured piece of Progressive that gently wafts along before reaching a powerful climax of steady beats and buzzing electro-synths...get it here

'Tendencies' is hard Progressive House - I really like it  - sure its dark, but with the track breaking to a sample from Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas - 'Mescaline, Ether, Cocaine, Acid,' you know its great .... i also feel naughty because i am listening to a song with drug references in it (small children be warned)

Tendencies - Andretta.mp3

Felix da Housecat has taken 'Sinnerman', looped the opening piano riff, dropped in a funky beat, thus effortlessly transforming the original into a tight Funky House track, without getting in the way of Nina Simones timeless voice. Its probably old news for you, but i think its a must have for any music collection - so its getting posted here!
