Partly inspired by the Daft Punk thread...I've got the early house years pretty well covered, but my knowledge of dope house trax of the past ten years (with the exception of Baltimore stuff) is very spotty- a little Daft Punk here, a little Armand Van Helden there, some Felix Da Housecat...etc. Anyone care to shed some light on the best house records of the last ten years? Maybe some top ten lists?
House music from '97 to '07: what's good?
- Thread starter erewhon
- Start date
hands down worst "producer" evurrrrrr, capt cheese...
Not House Music he certainly is house music
"U Don't Know Me," "Flowerz" and that one song w/ the puerto rican chick talking about how she wants to have sex w/ you = classics
couldn't listen to anything he's done recently though...turned into a 'dancerock artist'

sample slayer was dope. i dont claim to know anything about house music, but there were some useful tracks on there that i still play today (word up doc, reservoir dogs).
Armand Van Heldon was huge right around 1997-'98 with his "Professional Widow" Tori Armos remix that tore up the clubs, or in my case rave parties in Chicago as I was "too young to party" legally. I know he had a few more big remixes and helped spawn the bastard "speed garage" subgenre.
97-07 favorite house records (subject to change)
can't claim comprehensiveness, house has been something i've been exploring for about 3 years in between rap releases but consider it more of a personal list
1. CZR - Chicago House Experience (1997)
2. Basement Jaxx - Rooty (2001)
3. Theo Parrish - Parrallel Dimension (2000)
4. Moodymann - Black Mahogani (2004)
5. Luomo - The Present Lover (2003)
6. Michael Mayer - Immer (2002)
7. Archigram - Crydamour Presents Waves II (2003)
8. V/A - Get Physical 2nd Anniversary (2004)
9. Mei Lwun Presents Uno Compilation, Vol. 1 (2004)
10. Green Velvet - Green Velvet (2000)
that green velvet is technically a comp of stuff from earlier but since most of that shit was only avail. on 12" before i figure what the hell

my list, btw, is both mixes and 'artist albums'
some more - the rest of the Basement Jaxx albums and the two Atlantic Jaxx compilations, Derrick Carter's "About Now," Roy Davis Jr "Traxx from the Nile", Deep Dish's "Yoshiesque," Armand Van Helden's "2 Future 4 U," various releases on Kompakt (total 3&4 esp), Luomo's debut, Herbert's "Around the House" & "Bodily Functions," Superpitcher's "Today," kind of veering in and out of techno here tho.
honestly one of the best things to do if yr into trad-style house is go to http://www.deephousepage.com/ and check out some of the mixes...

A few of my faves which probably fall into these years:
1. Blaze, Productions
2. Isolee, Rest (not really "house" per say but who cares)
3. Derrick Carter, Squaredancing in a Round House
4. Greens Keepers, the Ziggy Franken Show
5. Anything by Theo Parish, Moodyman, Norma Jean Bell, etc.

Theo and Moody are def on the top of what kind of house music I like. However, Armand Van Helden and Daft Punk, do not fall under house music. There are so many sub genres, that it is hard to name a bunch of producers.
Ill have to go brew a cup of coffee and look through my records before I come back and name em.

Yeah, I'm kind of feeling the Green Velvet stuff I've heard. Sometimes the lyrics could be a little bit more minimal and/or less self-consciously "inspirational", but the beats are pretty hard to hate on.
The only Cassius track I know is "La Mouche", which hints at better things, but doesn't knock me out or anything. Are there any tracks in particular to seek out?
Cosign. That album is so nice. I have Science Fiction on my iPod right now, but I don't like it quite as much.I believe Carl Craig's "More Songs About Food and Revolutionary Art" makes the cut, though maybe thats techno and not house per se.
Televised Green Smoke
one of my favorites ever
