"I dunno if it counts as funky house"

progressive house actually! or, rather, progressive at its most melodic, most poppiest. the tune's been out for a few months, and the accompanying Kaskade album ("Strobelite Seduction") is very good, basically a bunch of dead-pretty summery takes on Iio's "Rapture" (+ a few obligatory Cafe del mar-type ballads) (one of which is kinda nice too!).

i love this type of progressive house because i love trance melodies, but trance in general is too fast for me... so now i can have my cake and eat it too at house tempo! i don't know how long this sound's been doing its thing, i've only been getting into it in the last several months, but i'd wholeheartedly recommend searching out:

Kaskade - 4AM (Adam K & Soha Remix)
Paul Keeley - Sunset Boulevard (i think i played this more than any track this year...)
Deadmau5 - Not Exactly (...except maybe this one, what a banger!)
Adam K & Soha - Twilight / Who Cares Really
Spiritchaser - Not Far
