House & Techno Mix October 2007 Better later than never...here's the house...or rather should I say house & techno mix (iIll explain that in a moment) I promised in July. My good friend technology apparently found it acceptable to cause me suffering again as just after posting the last mix my computer crashed due to a foolish attempt to update my motherboard (thanks a bunch HP) with some programs running. Fortunately, I was able to recover the entire computer, so the mix is still intact. I've been thinking more about using the term house to describe some of my mixes, rather than house & techno. My cousin, Jake The Rapper who now treks around Europe spinning "techno" and lives in the current capital of electronic music, Berlin (how how I envy him), and I had a conversation about this recently when he was here in NYC and it is interesting how some music I might classify as house he would call techno, while he seems to see house as more "cheesy" and focused on gay male culture, or pop music. I feel like a difference in culture between the U.S. -- where electronic music rarely makes pop charts and is more associated with "underground" urban "hip" folks -- versus Europe where pop sounding house tracks make the top 40 on the reg is driving this perspective difference. Anyway, as a result, I am labeling mixes where songs that would be classified as techno are included to be called house & techno mixes, if that matters to anyone. Anyway, I have other rants I've been itching to go on about, including the sad, and awful demise of NYC into a nouveau Las Vegas, essentially undermining the bohemian and underground dance culture that existed here, but I'll save that for another time...meanwhile enjoy this mix which was recorded in July, and I have a few new mixes in the works that I plan to post as well. Oh yeah...screw celebrating Columbus Day here in the U.S., which many get the day off for, but for all of the wrong reasons... Peace!
