What i love about house music is that i never have to be in the mood for it.
Living life itself is a parallel to house. Shiit goes hand in hand for a fella.
When i get in the whip, i have the confidence in my random button on the player, that it would shuffle it to a tune that would serve as my temporary moment of escapism.
The track comes on, the beat commences and suddenly, i immerse myself in the production and it's game over.
The last song i recall having this celestially incredible feeling is...
House can be about life, persevering, social woes... it can be about falling in love. But the way house musicians pen the lyrics is almost synonymous with how the song is recorded. It's sync with the harmonies and the way it meshes is something straight out of a mother's womb; as if its pairing was designed to perfect specifications of the music gods.
Sorry if ramble. But you can see my enthusiasm and passion for the music is beyond my own existence. You see? The roots of house music originated from the soul and disco sounds of the 70's. The 4 beat pattern is essential to the manufacturing of a fundamental house record. Now, i may be a bit partial because i grow up listening to it when my parents use to have Boney M, EWF, Jack 5, Donna Summer, etc.
Now, with disco/soulful - the music is the same, just an extension of the grooves but with different artists and contemporary instruments. The torch still burns on.
When you feel it... you'll know.
If you don't believe? Let Stevie tell you how i feels:
"All I Do..." is listen to these powerful gems.
Let's get it.
