Go on Amazon and do a House music search. Also go to listmania and type in House music and see what artists pop up. I was the same way a few months ago, and I discovered a bunch of good house music artists.

Insignificant posting from an insignificant poster
Ill tell u how i started...

Actually, this cat uploaded a house compilation of all the latest n greatest 12 inch disco and soulful house tunes on bx back in 05. Took a chance on the download and voila... my fixation for the genre took full flight after that.

Please check out these labels. Its all i ask of you..


1. Bargrooves
2. Fierce Angel

And my personal fav...

3. Hed Kandi


Ill post some videos later to give u a brief introduction to the soundscapes of house music and a bevy of its most coveted gem from yesteryear all the way thru its peak until now (its not what it used to be from the last decade... But youll occasionally run into some truly solid productions n original blends to exception renditions/remixes.


If you are certain u want to partake in this journey... I will guide u thru a sonically captivating expedition, and it could potentially change ur life: forever.


You ready b?


Lets geaux get em.


Umph.

I listen to drum and bass. A different kind of electronic music. What I do is just listen to different radio streams. Look for track lists or a lot of times the djs will tell you. Or you can message them on aim or whatever, while they're mixing.

There are many styles of House, House means something different to many people. Me myself I like Soulful, Deep, Garage House.

Just hit up youtube and likes, and pretty soon you will find your sound. And by the way, House music just isn't the stuff you see now on MTV or the stuff, that everyone and their Mama thinks is House these days.

Go clubbing.

Problem solved.

Didn't know it was so simple :rudy:

I appreciate everyone else's input though. I like the electronic stuff like Kaskade "Move For Me" and Afrojack " Take Over Control".

But I'm also looking for the more soulful stuff too, the "original house music" ya know?

This Egyptian chick from one of my lectures who talked to me about rap put me on to some house artists. Another way would also be to listen to house or electronic music that might have some rap verses in it.
