The Philosophy of House
"Some try to take up the role of the conservator, dragging music into regress. What is lost today is the immense openness house had toward different styles. Its attitude was to acknowledge the future and be willing to push for change. Nonetheless, that very same philosophy led to a fragmentation and compartmentalization of house. More and more subgenres were formed and separated themselves from the main stream of house. Compared to decades ago, the protagonists of these micro-house genres are quite narrow-minded. They replace the philosophy of house with a dogma of distinctiveness. Simultaneously, it is a path to true distinctiveness, the distinctiveness of versatility house always embraced. Regardless of “genrefication”, afro house, tech house, vocal house and deep house remain equal elements of musical cosmos."
