House and garage had a definite pattern of midi horns by degrees (a phase of development in production technology and people learning?), all on labels worthy of attention, too much of a micro niche and too boring to explore with your ears
Least favourite, signature, gimmicky horns are in sketchier commercial elements, Miami winter music festival soundtrack catalogue ie the dregs of soulful, can’t listen to “praise His name” for the 50th time and I fully grasp gospel influences just not backed up by dodgy horn chorus filler (dubs often dial it back)
DJ Spen is a repeat offender, a genuine force when it clicks yet he purged excruciating garbage too, enough to go full Frank Booth at times when people play it that cliched. Jovonn, a producer among the best at his peak, oooph one or two ultra shockers but hating is fairly redundant. Jovonn is a beast live and his discography is among the summits of house, I must own 90% of his output with stacks of *Baltimore releases and lived all over *Jersey. Timmy Regisford can play subterranean transcendental garage, he can play horn tedium b’dah b’dah <><> all night too
*Nothing but love for the gaffs steady on the horns eh
