DHS - House Of God

The Lounge General Discussion

Okay, most if not all of you should know this track - if you don’t, go look it up!

My question is this… I was 10 years old when that song came out, and I wasn’t clubbing at that time, but was anyone on the list doing so? And if they were, then what the hell was going? Occasionally, I find these psychedelic gems that were and still are far ahead of their time. My guess is that MDMA and LSD were more plentiful then… Raving was just kind of being born, and the drugs were abundant.

In any case. If you can recommend DJs that were spinning years ahead of their time, then please drop me some names.

Thanks!

I remember a mix of this that featured Bill Clinton talking about his affair with Monica Lewinsky.

If you like that wait until you hear Detroit techno: Robert Hood, Jeff Mills, Carl Craig, Stacey Pullen, Underground Resistance, Alan Oldham, DJ Bone, K Hand…

I have hit some Dave Clarke I liked, and then I found some I didn’t… I will have to search him hard. I did see a video with him DJing back in the day, and it was phenomenal. Dude was scratching techno, and at one point it looked like he was reaching behind the mixer and somehow cutting the signal on/off really fast… or maybe it was a two-pole switch at the top of the channel… I couldn’t tell… but he was doing it really fast and it sounded rad.

I remember this track, definitely a classic. Those very simple early records still speak to me - miles more than some of the totally overprocessed stuff being produced today.

I get some of the same nostalgia from this record from 1990:

I have listened to a fair amount of Detroit Techno, and there is some good stuff to be sure… but I feel like “House of God” and Meat Beat Manifesto are playing on another field… something about that breaky-music from the early 90s with those sometimes cheesy-ass vox samples… it had some special qualities.

I like Detroit techno a lot, but I feel like it’s hyped a lot too… part of a slick marketing campaign or something… again, not trying to hate… just saying.

There’s no hype or marketing around Detroit techno. Just a constant battle to keep the memory alive - most people asked still think techno was invented in Europe by white people :roll_eyes:

MBM/Jack Dangers was great though. I saw them play live many times in the early 90s. Very important influence on breakbeat and jungle scenes.

Makes me wonder about Elektro… I don’t know much about that world…

Cool, thanks. There’s like 50 million remixes of it, so you saved me some time, not counting those spent in YT wormholes.

Yeah, that wailing sound in the background could really vibrate some chakras or something…

My fondest candyflip memory (and I don’t have that many) was to the Josh Wink laughing song… fuuuuuuuuck…

I suspect Techno was originally made by aliens. People (white, black and other) just ran with it… one theory.
