most of the big names in the NY garage scene have been mad stagnant for the last 10 years. Blaze, MAW, Frankie Feliciano, Kerri Chandler, etc, have all put out the same songs over and over again. Throw some boom claps, a rhodes, jazz guitar, flute, mix and bam another song.

The most interesting stuff has been produced by folks veering away from that formula. People like Matthew Herbert, Moodyman, Daft Punk, etc.....

here are some personal favs of mine in the last 10 yrs.

ian pooley - coracao tambor (needs rmx)
matthew herbert - bodily functions/scales
swell session - music in her eyes
4 hero - starchasers (maw rmx)
moloko - sing it back (herbert dub)
iz & diz - mouth (brad peep's rmx for friends)
pepe bradock - burnin
recloose - dust
abstract truth - we had a thing
victor davies - brother (bougie soliterre rmx)
tom & joyce - vai minha trizteza (Mr. Bob s mix)

ps: Cassius, for all you mowax fan boys, used to be known as La Funk Mob.

What's still funny to me is that most of these tunes are from the 90s. So while we may be talking about the last 10 years, no one can really think of anything from the 2000s!

BTW Herbert's stuff was way better before he tried to get jazzy with it. If you haven't already, try to peep his older stuff that used to be more techno-ish, and less jazz-techno fusion-ish!

artist in bold are from 2000's

also herbert is the man, I like both sides of his output (early/later phase).
 
scale is barely house any more! its like chamber pop

i like it, tho

around the house is a great herbert album, prob more along the lines of what he's talking about. in that vein there's a bunch of minimal stuff, like farben's textar
 
it's not house at all, but inspiried by his techno/house output. Point of the post is to show how stagnant "garage" house is nowadays. Nobody in that scene takes risks.

Scales is just a solid album, one of my favs from 2006.

I think you mean "titles" in bold are from 2000s. All those dudes definately made music in the 90s.

now you're just arguing on semantics.

those records all came out post 2000, check discogs. Now if you were to rephrase your question as "new artists in our current decade".....
 
Anyone heard Score yet from Herbert. I highly suggest it. Very beautiful.

and that abstract truth is taking me baaaaaaack! haha! I should drop that one again and see what happens.

Lots of good leads--thanks! Now I've got some listening to do.

The thing about house stuff from this period is that every record looks equal parts dope and wack, and there's just so much more of it to sort through. From a digger's perspective, it's way easier to stick to the 80s through early 90s, because you almost can't go wrong with a few trusted labels, artists, an intriguing song title, etc. Once you delve into the later stuff, I feel like all bets are off. I can sort of guess what style of house a record might be by looking at it, but there's no way I can no it's gonna be dope without listening to it.

this has definitely been my experience as well, with a few exceptions (i.e. kompakt circa '02-03 is pretty pure)

That's because it was House Music's heyday.
