It's not even the tempo, for a time I thought it might have been and then remembered that most of my 1st Gen Industrial and EBM stuff is all around the 115-125bpm, sometimes climbing up to around 130 with the 2nd wave of it.
So, it's not the speed.
That got me thinking what it could be with House that I don't like, I mean the music is just fine as it is, I can appreciate it's well put together and all.

I've finally pegged it though, why I don't like house is because it's usually really happy, kitsch and camp (which probably has a few people who know me a bit better 'rofl' about now) and essentially, I'm just a sour aggressive and kind of cranky person.
What house needs, is like what Techno got from Gabba & Hardcore, Punk did to Top40 & Prog Rock and Psy & Goa did to trance...

-a sound toeing in the face and lots of swearing.

And, that's why I don't like House.

Oh meja, look.... I was like that a few years ago, listen to my mixes from my Shows from like 98-2003..... I was more of a Trance, Hard House, Tribal and Progressive House. I think its just I started getting older and wanted to just stand back and groove. I mean come on girl, you have to have heard that inner funk, tap your foot grab your loved one by the hips and just start moving to the beat. I just started to get into this Deep, Jazzy Funky House just a year ago.
Its like the way I felt about good Trance back when it was the shite and when every Dj that is the shit now, was just starting out...... I guess it is with age..... kind of like I just want to chill and bop my head to a nice slow bumpy crinkle up your nose like O'Call just let one rip... you know.... funk

That's why I love house music

Not everyone understands House music; it's a spiritual thing; a body thing; a soul thing........ as spoken by Eddie Amador

...it's a old guy, stoner thing in other words.

Ha ha ha yeah that is it... ha ha ha

I know you don't like house but..... lets keep this on me lol


no it think I figured it out why I have gravitated to Deep/Funky House. (Sitting here ordering some new 12s from kushrecords.com)... Its a real close quarters type of music. You go to a chill bar where people just want to mingle and have a few drinks and then by around 1am you start bringin in the funky harder shite......
Maybe about a few hundred of House Music Lovers and I also like the fact that House Music is more Diverse in its racial make up in artists. More of a soulful vibe from allot of different cultures infused into one awesome funky vibe. And yeah, it has a latin/R&B feel as well....... thats just me....
Now don't get me wrong I like other generes and love to mess around with others, but I know that when I am 70 years old, I will still be jammin in my walker, to the soulful funk of House...


peace in the middle east and mandella is free!!

^^ I hear ya.

Groovy house and to some extent deep minimal techno (not that clicky shit, I mean the really rich, bass heavy shit)is more social / socializing music than hard house, techno, trance etc. where people are too busy rockin out to really talk all that much.

I enjoy good house, but it has to be in the right setting and context I guess.

I can always listen to techno

edit: there's lots of ethnic diversity in techno too, but not everyone can get past it's faster, harder sound. Lots of good latin-sounding shit too. Check out DJ Preach - No War in the Summer (it's on iTurnem)

I'll have you know I hate flatulence. Fair enough after a few ciders I might do a sly one but not like the last time. My mate who used to sit next to me in Science at school used to let rippers off all the time that stank. So once I heated up a bit of carbon on the bunsen burner, put it on his stool when he wasn't looking, suddenely I heard a blood curdling scream and saw him jump out off the stool.

I love house but I like mine progressive and deep, it can have tribal and electro elements. Even have a certain groove to it but most importantly it has to have structure, along with a intelligence and sophisication too.

That's Ayumi Hamasaki in my sig (that's the cover of her single "Endless Sorrow"); and in my avatar, Natsume Soseki

More than his literary style (which is just too complicated as he wrote in literary Japanese), I like it how he fought everything and everyone (including himself and his insecurity) in order to become one of the major exponents of world literature. Soseki is a Chinese idiom meaning "stubborn", actually. "Seki" means "stone" and "so" seems to mean "gargle"... go figure what the Chinese had in mind when they came up with this expression
