Scouse House

[IdleRich]

Wg are you the Ig? Cos in that guise you were one of my favourites - except for Catalog, maybe version, 0bleak, shaka etc - but changing your name means I like you less which is totally unreasonable if true

No

Long before my time the Sunrise was called Clear and was home to Voodoo for years




In my head it was an amazing space but I never actually went there without being on MD I don't think, so honestly fuck knows

At the same time as that Lil Jon mix the proper mad non-violent nights in Liverpool were on Seel St




Don't think I was at this one but the DJ Bone set still holds up I think. The pills were still crazy then but they were about to get horrible for a bit if I remember. Had some very weird experiences on them winter 2003, loads of really speedy ones

I stopped taking them seriously in 2004

Anyway scouse house bit shit really but it was a great era to be a kid

Sunrise at about 4am when the Nukleuz style took over was probably what took us over to techno nights really, before I knocked all the MD on the head and started sobering up a bit instead



I think at the same time you also have loads of Lisa Lashes/Tidy Trax style "Extreme Euphoria" stuff going on as well. A lot of this era is just based on really strong pills I think and then when they fall off the whole thing falls apart

in terms of the timbres used, I really see a great parallel between here and:

RAPTOR HOUSE ESSENTIALS

TUKITECA these soundfonts are something else really

www.dissensus.com

at least the parts of the scouse I'm interested in: the shortgated dotted tacky preset leads, rhythms are different, but the sound is very much the same.
not into the post-vocal uk hardcore bits as much

@wektor is by far the most assiduous musicologist on this forum today. @mvuent is the most intelligent writer and @sus the most ambitious. my generation do nothing but sedify, masturbate and accuse each other of the most egregious sins like fascism & pædophilia.

I love "sedify," is that sedentary/sediment + edify?

 

[woops]

What generation is that?

I'm constantly still diligently researching and staying on top of new electronic/dance/experimental/leftfield music (maybe stuff that isn't liked by this forum, but still) as I've been doing for decades, and I'm starting to produce music again after 33 years as I'm slowly getting my head around ableton.
