I feel like nobody outside the N.Y. scene appreciates old school 90s hard house, which has a serious influence on a lot of the electro bangers being produced today. Guys like Mark V & Poogie Bear, Dj Trajic, Irene, etc. As a beginning dj, I would love to start incorporating this stuff into my work, but the problem is i don’t spin vinyl, have no money to upgrade to vinyl, and don’t know any good record stores within 10 miles of me. I need a good source for hard house in mp3/wav format, but it seems the majority of online stores I go to seriously lack good hard house.
Does anybody know of any sites online that sell old school hard house? Any tips or points in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
Within the last year I just got back into electronic music after a whileand couldn’t believe the old hard house influences.. I think alot of those labels went under which probably explains why the tunes aren’t available as mp3’s (legally).
it was and always will be uk hard house.. i just took my opportunity to announce their ceasing of pressing vinyl in a thread associated with hard house in general rather than start a new thread about it
after late 2003 tidy seemed to just keep churning out the same old sound, as if their producers were just changing a template and dropping in a different vocal sample.. actually most ‘hard’ labels seemed to be doing that at about that time!
All of this brings back memories of throwing parties and the sound clipping because hard house dj’s pushed things too far (or maybe i didn’t rent good enough equipment).
OP here, so glad to see other DJTTers who appreciate the old school. And yeah, there’s def still djs who rock the hard house, but always on vinyl (since they have their stuff from back in the day) And Jesc nailed it, UC and Abstract are my favorite labels in the genre.
We could say that the heyday of Alcoholic House U.S. came in 1999-2000, with a lot of producers and labels in the middle of editing a high-quality issues, which had transnational arrangement. But equal all trends, after a eager climax comes a respond, and it is from 2002 when the style is losing capability, umpteen producers are passed storehouse techno, you do not do parties, umpteen labels uncommunicative … Refuse only a few, among them a actress DJ freshman to the environs to try to elasticity new impetus to the communication, DJ Ironic. Supported his own label, Opposition Recordings, and collaborations with the likes of DJ Tony, Roundabout K, Crowbar X, etc, release, having a pupil important scratches and over refinement in the drums. And now there are only two real lively labels in the scene hard house American Opposition led by Ironic (with collaborations with the unreal Boogie Hold and outside artists as Bass drum Project or Te Soldier) and T3H, captained by Dj Violent.
