Any fans here?
Or are you all only Alties/Indies? :P
Spent a few nights in the Hacienda, went clubbing at Back to Basics in Leeds, Eden/Temple in Bolton and a few spots in the Midlands, and had a wild time (Its all a bit fuzzy tbh!) Got into dj'ing house on some Technics 1200's, never really seriously but alas all the vinyl has gone and moved onto cd's (Got around 40 gig of tunage on my hard drive) but I still have my CDJ's set up in the lounge and do have a dabble from time to time. Play at house parties now and again and my mate jams along on his Bongo's (He used to play in Eden/Temple back in the day).
Stuff I like to play varies with my mood but usually the likes of Fred Fualke, Eddie Amador, ATFC, MAW, Bob Sinclair, Loleatta Hollaway, Ministers de la funk, Praise Cats., Cahill, ian Carey, Pete Heller, Soul Avengerz, Milk and Sugar, Tom Novy, Bimbo Jones, Soul Providers etc etc etc...... I'm sure you get the picture.. Proper what I call Funky House but not all this commercial crap you get churned out these days.
I like some Soulful House and a bit of Electro (but not much)
I despise 'Bouncy House' (My son pollutes my decks with it and I have to leave the room when he mixes!)
I suppose I got a bit disillusioned with the music scene and stopped clubbing a couple of years ago (It must be my age!) and prefer to go to gigs these days. I do still love house music but I've also always liked Indie and other guitar based genres. I'm listening to a bit of breaks at the moment and can recommend Fort Knox 5 (Check em out there awesome!)
At least this thread has inspired me to fire up my decks tonight so thanks for that MW!
I think this was somewhere in Oldham?
