Wallpaper From Fhe 70s

I love 70s. Maybe it's because of sexual liberation of HIV-free generations or those funny hairdos and pants but one thing for sure, I adore furniture from 70s. When I decided to re-decorate my flat I realized that I want something retro on one of my walls which will fit my mom's 35 years old coffe table and armchairs perfectly and finally I found this: you're gonna love it if you like 70s. Take a look!

Deep House Music

House music is a collection of styles of electronic dance music, the earliest forms of which originated in the United States in the early- to mid-1980s. The name is said to derive from the Warehouse nightclub in Chicago, where the resident DJ, Frankie Knuckles, mixed classic disco and European synthpop recordings. Club regulars referred to his selection of music as "house" music. However, since Frankie was not creating new music at that time, it has been argued that Chip E. in his early recording "It's House" defined this new form of electronic music and gave it the name "House Music".

The common element of most house music is a 4/4 beat (a prominent kick drum on every beat) generated by a drum machine or other electronic means (such as a sampler), together with a continuous, repeating (usually also electronically generated) bassline. Typically added to this foundation are electronically generated sounds and samples of music such as jazz, blues and synth pop, as well as additional percussion.

House music is uptempo music for dancing and has a comparatively narrow tempo range, generally falling between 118 beats per minute (bpm) and 135 bpm, with 127 bpm being about average since 1996.Far and away the most important element of the house drumbeat is the (usually very strong, synthesized, and heavily equalized) kick drum pounding on every quarter note of the 4/4 bar, often having a "dropping" effect on the dancefloor. Commonly this is augmented by various kick fills and extended dropouts (aka breakdowns). Add to this basic kick pattern hihats on the eighth-note offbeats (though any number of sixteenth-note patterns are also very common) and a snare drum and/or clap on beats 2 and 4 of every bar, and you have the basic framework of the house drumbeat.

This pattern is derived from so-called "four-on-the-floor" dance drumbeats of the 1960s and especially the 1970's disco drummers. Due to the way house music was developed by DJs mixing records together, producers commonly layer sampled drum sounds to achieve a larger-than-life sound, filling out the audio spectrum and tailoring the mix for large club sound systems.Techno and trance, the two primary dance music genres that developed alongside house music in the mid 1980s and early 1990s respectively, can share this basic beat infrastructure, but usually eschew house's live-music-influenced feel and black or Latin music influences in favor of more synthetic sound sources and approach. As new recordings adhering to this general style emerged, The house genre divided into a number of subcategories and one of them is probably the reason you are here: Deep House Style.

Deep house is a style of house music. It is loosely defined by the following characteristics that distinguish it from most other forms of house music:

- relatively slow tempo (110-125 bpm);
- de-emphasized percussion, including:
simpler drum machine programming;
gentle transitions and fewer "build-ups";
less "thumpy" bass drum sound;
less pronounced hi-hats on the off-beat;
- sustained chords or other tonal elements that span multiple bars;
- increased use of reverb, delay, and filter effects;
- a featured solo R&B vocalist, often male, exhibiting soul, jazz, and/or gospel influences;
- jazz influences or samples in the instrumentation.

Not all of these need to be present or fully satisfied in order for house music to be called "deep house"; fans of the style typically just identify it by its subjective "feel" rather than by the presence or absence of specific elements. The term "deep house" first appeared in the music press in the late 1980s, usually in reference to the music of Larry Heard.

Inland Knights

>>> Download Mp3: The Littlemen - Stoned (Inland Kingts Mix)<<<

I've been listening this Inland Knights remix over and over during last week which made me focus on this duo. Shame on me that the track is from 2005. Anyway this one may be an amazing opening title for a mix. Under the Inland Knights moniker the pair have been fruitful, releasing tracks on labels such as Ralph Lawson's famed 20:20 Vision imprint, Panhandle Records, Vista, Siesta, Sunflower, NRK, Low Pressings, double down and many more. Their blend of jazz and funk, dynamic percussion and vocal hooks has been instrumental in catapulting the Inland Knights to international popularity. Their DJ sets are a fusion encompassing most styles of house, from dubby deep house, disco and garage to four-to-the-floor tech house.
Now into 2006, Inland knights will be concentrating on a two part ep to mark
the 50th Drop release. This will be coming out towards the autumn and
feature loads of new tracks plus maybe one from the vaults, and be released
as a part one and part two ep package. An ep for San Francisco’s Amenti is
also on the cards.Despite their success as producers,and over eight years of releases under their belts, they refuse to withdraw into the studio and will continue to DJ and tour extensively. Riley notes they are always looking to balance their performance and production schedules. "If you start to do too much of one,"
he says, "You start to miss the other."

I'll Make Some Noise

"I'll make some noise" is a 127 BPM House mix with minimal, tech and deep house elements ands starts with Steve Bug's amazing B-Side "Summer Nights". If you like deep house stuff I'd advise you to take a look at Love Vibe or Fiascoish Friday but if you like something techy go ahead and download this one. Enjoy.

Minimal / Tech house



ANDRE, David & DJ SMALL presents BODYTALKERS - Jack The Beatbox (12") Brique Rouge France

Audio Soul Project is back again with Brigue Rouge France's "Jack The Beatbox". Although I'm getting sick about electro samples hacking into Tech house records, this one is tasty! On the other hand it's such a pleasure that seeing all of those House producers jumped into electro madness in last few years are coming back to their roots again. Briefly, house beats are IN again. Ok, I have to admit that reasonable amout of electro feeling is just nice and establishs diversity especially in a mix but hey guys please don't overdose it, One Trentemoller is just enough and He's doing his job perfectly.

Deep House



DEMARKUS feat DANI DEAHL-You Remind Me (12") /Lazy Days US

As a Soulseek addict, I've been enjoying this one for a while and it finally came out from Lazy Days US. Let alone the beauty of the title track, Fred Everything's interpretation of "You Remind Me" is definately the smash of the week.

Funky /Club/Vocal House



Soulmagic-Soulmagic(12") /Soulmagic

although it seems like people at the Soulmagic label have lack of imagination and creativity for naming, I really liked the first release of this one. Probably it's because of the smooth vocals. There is nothing THAT special about this one but although Funky/Vocal/Club House is the genre with the most new releases every week it's so hard to find even a single nice record to pick and highlight unless you are spinning in a beach club in aegean coasts of Turkey and you are looking for some disturbingly screaming female vocals with brain damager snare drums before so called build ups for playing between this summer's Hot Turkish hits.

So I picked this one one. Deserves a shot.
