Wait a minute... these arn't new tracks!!!

[project.one]

Alright... so, has anyone else been noticing this?

All these new tracks that I keep hearing being released on vinyl and such, alot of them sound an AWFULL lot like oldschool house and trance tracks I remember hearing and listing to way back pre-1997 (and earlier).

Some SpeedGarage tracks I keep hearing getting played around at parties, that people are saying are "Brand new SpeedGarage tracks", well, I think I used to have that same track on vinyl as well, but mine is an old school HardHouse track!!!

Ive head almost a dozen SpeedGarage tracks that are susposed to be new, but I have them on Vinyl, they are hardhouse! LOL They just slowed em down and added the warped basslines!

Same with some Breaks and DnB!

Please dont get me wrong, loving it all.
And not ALL tracks, just keep noticing it here and there!
Just find it kinda funny!

Anyone else noticing this?
Or am I in my own world again?

that's just what happens when people make dance music from reason refills, downloaded loops and sample CDs. a couple of years later, someone else makes a tune from the same sources, and the musical gene pool gets watered down a little more.

if you want your own sound, you have to make your own sounds.

House music in general is pretty notorious for blatantly ripping off old disco samples. Check out Dave Armstrong's Make Your Move or Daft Punk's Harder Better Faster Stronger for examples thereof.

That being said, c'mon man. it's speed garage. it hasn't really changed much since 1997 except that the uk took ahold of it, threw in a bunch of hip-hop samples and got rid of the four-on-the-floor beat.

Christ, Uniting Nations are horrible for this, as are Public Domain... really not much variation on the original themes, and to top it off it's not like they really go digging that deeply for obscure samples (Uniting Nations released Out Of Touch shortly after Dave Armstrong put out his cover of the Hall & Oates classic, Public Domain put out Operation Blade almost right after Pump Panel's Confusion remix was featured on Blade....)

*insert joke about all Speed Garage sounding the same anyways*

Plus Crazy Frog. Seriously, name a single genre of dance music that has yet to produce some subpar remix of Axel F. Come on people, let's get some inventive ideas already!

4 tracks:

Track 2: Bassline: plug your nose and say the following: WHMMMMMWHMWHMWHMMMMMWHMWHMMMMMMMMMMMM
Track 3: melody: "doo dododododo dodododdodododooooooooo" and so forth
Track 4: Random samples "Round 1.... FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!"

^^ Every single speed garage song ever made.

Especially good if you get four people together. All about the A Capella Speed Garage.

Yup, sounds about right.

It's funny because I made all the sounds and it worked.
