    Default Newbie to House

    Hey guys,

    Regular follower of the blog, teach myself something new everyday or brush up on skills, but with a background in Hip Hop / Pop and other popular American music, I'm really making a push to expand my knowledge in House / Electronic, and just about any other genre...

    Anyone have good suggestions for blogs / sources of info that I can follow to keep up with new music as it emerges?

    I suggest you study the old a little at the beginning. Hard to know where things are going if you don't know where they have been.

    Have a look in the forum for a thread on "if you could only play one track", lots of gems in there.

    Look up house and techno history (wikipedia), lots of early details.

    Just some suggestions, Phil.

    Thanks for the info guys, appreciate it! Took the words out of my mouth Phil, I did some generic studying on song structures of typical House-style music to get a better acquainted with it...Always a good idea to learn your history...

    I always suggest browsing beatport.com. Probably the best way you can get a sense of the different genres thus helping one distinguish between electro, house, techno ect...
