sorry, i think i've been permanently damaged in one ear by working at Ministry (mag) and in the other by dribbling deep house purists who act like Naked Music is the pinacle of sound.
i'm not saying all house = bad, i love my Trax, Theo Parrish, Romanthony and Moodyman records to the core, but by volume (and house sure has volume) surely i'm allowed to say vast swathes of it is generic, dull or commercial? Put a donk in it?!
yeah i wasn't arguing there isn't loads of horrible shit out there as that would be silly, or that deep house isn't as boring as any other generic dance music, god knows i've walked into a house shop and not been able to find a single record i like as my experience of house music is so different to the people who like the kinda music that doesn't take any chances, funky has a lineage in british house history, stuff like bleep recrds in sheffield and leeds etc if you ask me, id call them house records, they always did themselves.
