bit harsh?!

but somewhat true

Lol at the "thinly veiled populism" bit: you don't hear them calling out Warp for selling out when they suck Grizzly Bear's dick every 3/4 years.

And that's just the flaw in the point they've put across which is completely untrue anyway.

Hotflush has been hit and miss for me for a while though.

It a par, but let's not kid ourselves here, it's fairly spot on.

i hated house music 6 months ago, i quite like it now. i even have some house tunes on wax. :O

still can't dance to it though. the people dancing in that video are cracking me up

The Japanese have made a perfume that smells like little boys' anusses. Well done Japan. Well done.

i dunno man, hotflush and hyperdub aren't my favourite labels but still! what do they mean by thinly veiled populism?

Bandwagon jumping is my interpretation

I think it has to do with exposure; house (shitty or not) is pretty much the most common form of club music. Seen quite a few people I know go down the house route past their 20th; never really got why (nor did I care for it).

I guess so. I've always been aware of it and listened to a little bit, just that repetitive 4x4 beats never kept me interested in a club environment. maybe I'm just enjoying this particular Craig Richards set and haven't been converted fully just yet.

Can't dance to it for shit either. You kind of have to bust actual dance moves, and I hate dance moves.

I view it as pop music trying to be underground (or the other way around). The last few albums have gone a bit more pop (and I use pop here like I use it to describe stuff like SBTRKT, Katy B, Kito etc). I like them though. Except the Laurel Halo and Hype Williams ones; those are Hyperdub's lowest points imo.

fuck I hate it when someone says that I generally don't care for house music. I may like a release here and there, but I still view it as background music and have absolutely no desire to dig deeper into it.

It's way easier to dance to than dubstep for example!

It's like everything though, an entire night of one genre gets boring to me

i just couldn't stand any repetitive 4x4 beats for a long time, once you get over that though you're good to go

what! dubstep is eaaaaasy to dance to, house is so hard i have no idea what to do and you have to move way too quickly to keep up.

everyone knows house is more danceable than dubstep b/c its closer to heart rate

what kind of house are u listening to?

See dubstep is perfect for me as I can just stay loose and bop around a bit, House is too slow for that to happen so the arms have to be employed and it's all downhill from there for me!

Well I still think Hate would be a stong word! Im not here to say you should go dig and like it, I dont give a monkeys! its just like saying "I Hate Beef" having only eaten Mc donalds burgers and the odd value steak thats all.

Check out Sashas- Involver 2 thats a favorite of mine but thats prog house, out of all the other hundreds of splinters of house..
