A post about HIP-HOUSE

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

If "about" means "listing three records and asking you to tell me about other ones"

Jungle Brothers - What U Waiting For?
Cookie Crew - Rok Da House
Missy Elliot - 4 My People.

GO ON THEN.

And does it/can it "work" other than as an occasional "wow this is good hey" palate-cleanser?

'Sharon Phillips - Want 2 Need 2 (Trentemøller remix)'

/\ SO GOOD


the mshup of Fix's 'Dope Computer' and Tag Team's 'Whoomp There It Is' at the start of Ultramix 93 part 17 = best hip-house ever! i'm sorry it goes into Lenny Kravitz...

a good one from back in the day that's been forgotten about: Wendell Williams 'Everybody'

also Doug Lazy of course - his 'H.O.U.S.E.' sampled 'The Robots' very well

i had good fun last night putting Outhere Brothers first two #1 singles over proper techno tracks by Claude Young, Beltram and Richard Bartz (Ultramix 95 spoiler!)

2 In A Room also count - 'Wiggle It' obv. but also 'El Trago'

much more recently Masters At Work did 'Da Bump', but it's only OK...

it TOTALLY works as a genre-meld but then of course i would say that.

Steve I have those higher-bitrate gabba rips for you! Remind me! (They are still v quiet tho, this is the CD's fault)

oh great! as long as they're high bitrate i can make them louder anyway (oh noes dynamic compression now ruining old dance music too hehehe)
