Woah that Vessel Tune is sick, shame about the fancy schmancy IDM twist and turns in though, EXACTLY the kinda stuff I play out though, thanks for drawing my attention to it.

I don't know if anyone is aware, but I have made some "future organ house" if you like..

anyone feeling this one? I have a few more under my belt I'm working on.

Damn, I'm surprised there's anyone that doesn't know that tune!
EASILY one of the most popular tunes of 92/93, and played by all sorts of DJs crossing over into different styles.
I mean, I usually played harder, more electronic sounding stuff, but I also has a copy.
I got MAD fierce on the dancefloor when that came on.
Suckaz best back up!

It can be incredibly lazy if used poorly with a warbling diva but can blind you with harmonics and deftness of touches if the chords are on point and any drum programming is nuanced

I never realised how much of this stuff there is.

90-94 peak years surely? Masses .. Jersey 100%, tons of defunct small run and world renowned NY labels, all the way through to Europe - Brits went hard at it hard. Fuck, going to have dig hard it’s just full on at work and skiving isn’t an option

It’s a fine line. Rhodes keys have been done to death. Moog solos in house offer similar gold and toilet standards. 90-94 peak period stateside and Italy (organs as opposed to pianos). Certain mates scoff at such sounds claiming organ lines made house less strange/experimental and they have a point. Keep in mind the same people can drone for an hour over finger-click snares on labels that put out about 4 releases only they’ve ever heard of, or male vocals cut and layered without going full preacher man praise His naaamr (Jersey again). Timmy Regisford at Shelter was one epiphany to organs but that’s a way back in the long ago where drugs may have warped perception

Flying Records used to sell Italian organ-y imports for taking the piss prices. Dean Thatcher et al. Got caned to oblivion so it devolved quite quickly into generics. Cue tags like ‘jazzy’ to justify a bit of musicianship yet jazz is def one term applicable to Chicago’s nuanced later wave producers eg Glenn Underground/SJU). People like Gemini added harder elements too but had a mass of grace and swing. Without detouring into the “what ever happened to Gemini?” mythos, add Boo Williams whose health is all over the place currently

Massive array of options, have no idea how to condense it. Played out, the right organ track at just about the right hour can levitate listeners. Venus was a superb night for Italian organ tunes, Paul Wain, Christian Woodyatt and DiY a maniacal circus but selectors with trustworthy ears could always bring an intimacy with organ tracks. Even techno bods like Justin Berkovi have rolled out a production intersectional to all the above. Add Black Coffee pre/proto amapiano before it lifted off outside of South Africa

It can be too much as a mix as in every track is organ based but such a statement could be just as easily undermined with a well researched tracklist to leave an indelible imprint

Logged in trying to think of Balearic Death contenders = too much tune (never a problem)

I hate this tune. Plastic dreams is about right, sounds like the bombastic excesses of trance more than anything.

There is great organ house but that is not it.


try this for starters



loads of Ron Allen stuff.

bullshit
hating on it because it's popular and crossed over into different scenes
slinkier and funkier than any trance and also more that the tune you posted to me in response which also sounds more like the kind of music I would hear out at meat markets more than a place where people actually cared what was playing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meet_market

Next Evidence = always worth exploring. lyric content is a bit embarrassing but as a starter for 6am reveller leveller



few late era moments:, Mateo and Matos with a terribly lazy title but I’m addicted to the chords



Paper - reliable more often than not and while Np“?…

In recent years, the term meet market has become neutral or even been reclaimed largely by commentators on the single scene and event promoters.[9] For example, a number of singles event promoters have chosen to name their events after some variation of the term. These uses include "Meet Market" for a singles mixer,[10] "Meet Market Adventures" for a company catering adventure experiences to singles,[11][12] and "'meet market' for Moses" for a Jewish singles event designed by religious organizations trying to ensure Jewish marriage and continuity.
