[lawler]

Any fans on here?

Doubt anyone been to any Retro nights...but worth a shot

[lawler]

Ye that kind of stuff.....in particular the Retro nights....thinks its more of a Northern thing :-/

(Not like Motown etc lol like piano house etc)

[lawler]

Yeah I know what you mean there is a lot of st remixes.

Some can be quite good though if they are done prerly lol

Cant beat nights like this...going out just for the music...good times

[lawler]

I do agree with you...It used to be about the music but now can be seen as 'chav'.

Do like the oldskool music thoug; espcially when its mixed in with more elctro style funky house.....cant beat it

[lawler]

Northern Soul is a bit even more before my time....more like early/mid 90's - big piano style house music.

Go on Youtube and type in Paul Taylor - Retro...and that will be the kind of stuff...

You know you're getting old when the music that formed you as a person is now considered retro.

There's life in my glowsticks yet however.

House with huge piano breaks used to be referred to as Italian House.

The finest ever piano house tune was Derrick May as Rhythym is Rhythym doing Strings of Life.

Strictly speaking May was a Detroit Techno producer but Strings is just so epic, so so epic as to sound fresh as a daisy today despite being recorded in 1989.

When it was first played at the Paradise Garage the crowd loved it so much it was played 7 times in a row.

That is a really great exampole of what Piano house is....Rhythm Foundation - Let the whole world know is also a good one.


I know what you mean about the politics but I just went for the music really....nothing in my opinion came close to it

Some of us did not have the oppertunity....would have been great though!
