Genre Question Posted on: 21.11.2013 by Maryam Fevold Hey guys, Just a random thought/question. With everything getting classified and re-classified into subgenres these days, especially with house music, what's the consensus for the style house music with artists like DJ Dan, Phunk Investigation, My Digital Enemy, etc etc. Certainly hi-energy, but I wouldn't call it big room (i.e. progressive or electro). Is it just kind of referred to as house or straight house?

Evalyn Voges 22.11.2013	Originally Posted by Sambo It's what the chav's next door to me when I grew up used to say. See hard house has BPMs akin or even faster than trance, so it's a pretty good reference point. It's also why most people say prog house isn't really house, because it uses all the trademarks of trance but at fast house tempos, and as a fan of house and not trance and not a fan of prog house, I totally agree. I could pull up some Trance tracks with slower BPM than House right now, if you want. BPM is irrelevant for genres. Just go with what genre you believe the track is...

Antonetta Wikel 21.11.2013	Same with DJ Dan, he's produced some really hard tracks, some disco tracks, funky tracks (this seems his latest groove). I also find certain artists produce different styles based on the Label they'll put the track out on.
Alphonso Deitchman 21.11.2013	It depends on the individual track too. I've just listened to some Phunk Investigation and a few tracks were techno, some were electro, and another was almost disco.
Maryam Fevold 21.11.2013	Point taken - but whether those classifications make a lot of sense or not, sometimes they can be useful. Just wondering how other people referred to that style of house in conversation, or when marketing themselves, etc.
Latoria Kavulich 21.11.2013	ignore the sub genre classifications, they are just marketing labels mate. i tag all my house tracks as either funky, tech or progressive.
