Anyone here from the U.S and into House Music?

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

I'm into Funky House like Crazy Cousins, but I'm not sure if that's what you mean

Yeah UK Funky is kinda hard to get away from if your into dance music. Crazy cousins pretty much personify UK Funky, which isn't quite a good thing cause all the good tracks sound identical! It's a young scene that needs to grow.

Its funny Wadeb_21 mentioned Chicago House, the reason i posted here was because recently i went on a 8 hour Youtube Binge looking for old Rave/Acid/ Techno/ Hardcore tunes from the late 80's early 90's and i came across one tune i remembered

YouTube - Neal Howard - The Gathering(Club Mix) 1988

I always associated it with Acid but turns out this and a load of other tunes were of the Chicago House genre... Good Music!

I wondered if anyone here knew if this scene was still alive, or if there were some subsequent spin off/ sub genres that had emerged along the years?

It's wired, i never really though of the U.S as having a house scene

Ignorance

It's typical of 'urban' UK music, they all go through fads of what everyone listens to. It used to be 2-step which actually went mainstream, then Dubstep, then Grime, which was a great scene until every little twat from Somerset started putting videos out on Channel U bastardizing what the music was about. Bassline had a brief spell last summer, I heard its still big up north & now it's UK Funky. It will die out long before it grows. Only Dubstep & Grime have really survived their respective fad.

Still I'll put up some of the best Funky tunes recently just because

I don't mind Dubstep/ Grime... I was brought up on the Dub sound as a kid so Dubstep is like second nature to me but then again, this manifestation of Dub aint all that... However, i there is one tune all cockneys must like!

Dropped it last week as it goes.
