At the end of the 80s house music added deep. Seminal artists like Larry Heard, Marshall Jefferson or Virgo Four abandoned the track-dominated sound palette and introduced musicianship to a genre that was then better known for dancefloor functionality. But it was from 1990 on that the vibe really spread and developed, particularly in New York City. I first heard the term flute house when Roger Sanchez released „Luv Dancin‘“ by Underground Solution. Some also called it ambient or mellow house. But the music was not made for home listening purposes, DJs would use it, too. As a gentle introduction, or as a moment of regeneration during peak time, or as the best possible way to ease the crowd out again into the early morning, so that not a single glorious moment of what just happened the hours before was tainted by something less. A lot of these tracks had enough kicks to have you working at any time, but they also seemed to be created for unique moments, closed eyes, embraces, disbelief evoked by sheer beauty. A lot of these tracks had tags like ambient or jazz in their titles and credits, but they did not really try to be either. The artists involved liked to display their musical abilities, and their skills to establish a mood and an atmosphere. They knew how to write a melody, they knew how to arrange their layers and instruments, they were determined to sound as good as their means would allow. By the time Frankie Knuckles‘ Whistle Song was released in 1991, the flutes, vibraphones, saxophones or similar instruments were already derided, but the sound had come to stay, until this day. This playlist gathers some classic moments that paved the way.
Logic – The Final Frontier (Acoustic Mix) (Strictly Rhythm, 1990)
Wayne Gardiner took Larry Heard’s gentle elegance (the bassline is lifted from Fingers Inc.’s deep house blueprint “Can You Feel It”) and added the archetypical swing of early 90s New York City house. His back catalogue is filled with lots of sublime grandeur, but this track is structured like a jazz band taking turns on their respective instruments, and steadily building up layer after layer of tension and drama in the process. The result is still peerless.
That Bobby Konders quit producing house music for a career in dancehall and dub productions when he was capable of track like this, is still a an irreparable trauma for many. As with many of his tunes, this can completely zone you out. Eight minutes of considerably relentless flutiness, accompanied by a dubbed out bassline and some eerie strings. A psychedelic masterpiece.
The Vision – Shardé (Nu Groove, 1991)
Eddie Maduro was an accomplice of Wayne Gardiner (for example he co-wrote Logic‘s „The Warning“ and supplied its seminal vocal introduction), and this is one of his finest moments. It is named after his daughter, and I am very convinced that the world would be a better place if such a beautiful piece of music would be composed for every child.
The Nick Jones Experience – Wake Up People (Massive B, 1991)
New Jersey DJ and producer Nick Jones with a total gem on Bobby Konders‘ Massive B imprint, with some help by Satoshi Tomiie. Not your typical house groove, but this forever remained a special track for special moments anyway. But if chosen wisely, it can elevate those moments to something completely else, be it in the club or when you are on your own.
Beautiful People – I Got The Rhythm (Club Mix) (Cabaret, 1991)
I assume this collaboration of Joey Longo aka Pal Joey with Manabu Nagayama and Toshihiko Mori came into being when King Street Sounds label head Hisa Ishioka introduced American and Japanes producers to each other in the early 90s. This tracks bears the trademark Pal Joey mixture of hip hop ruffness and deep sounds, but it is way longer, more complex in structure, and it even adds a steady breakbeat to fine effect. Beautiful People indeed, and they sure got the rhythm.
The now defunct UK magazine The Face used to end each issue with a one-liner, but when I read the words “Vocals Matter” there sometime in the mid 90s, it deeply afflicted me. Was there really a need to point this out? In fact there was. A vocalist and a song were basic elements of House Music since its early days in the Mid 80s. Which was not really surprising, after all House was a direct continuation of what started in the mid 70s with Soul and then Disco, and instrumentals where the exception, and not the rule. Then Garage House already displayed its origins in its name, the combination of the music played in both New York’s Paradise Garage and Chicago’s Warehouse. But after its heyday in the first half of the 90s, Garage House’s popularity was gradually declining. The clubs got bigger, and the sounds followed suit. The songs, however, seemed to get weaker in the process, and eventually a good tune became the exception. It might be a bit simplistic to argue that it is much easier to produce a good track than a good song, but comparatively there are not many artists left even trying. I am publishing an ongoing chronological series of mixes consisting of personal Vocal House favourites from the past until the present, and I picked a few overlooked gems for this guide.
Dance Advisory Commission – Free Your Mind (Yesterday’s Mix) (12th Avenue Records 1991)
The sole release on this imprint operated by Ben “Cozmo D” Cenac. Produced by David Anthony, who revived this track for a release on Emotive the following year. But the original record has the better versions. Eternal self-liberation on the floor imperatives, carried by a subtle Hip House aftermath breakbeat, which is just effortlessly swinging.
Swing Out Sister – Notgonnachange (Mix Of Drama) (Fontana 1992)
The Def Mix productions cannot be overestimated in Garage House history. 1992 was probably the year that saw more Vocal led House releases than any other year, as the Majors employed an increasing number of club DJs and producers to sprinkle some nocturnal stardust and dancefloor credentials on their chart bound artists. And so you have the most consistent remixer of the genre, Frankie Knuckles, turning UK Blue-Eyed Soulsters into a showstopping symphony of baroque proportions. His way of arranging pianos and strings into lush elegance is really distinct. It is also totally timeless.
Darryl D’Bonneau – Say You’re Gonna Stay (New Generation 1992)
The original masterpiece, hidden on a mini-compilation by a label supposedly affiliated with New Generation, the home of most of the weird and wonderful Larry P. Rauson productions. The track had a second life on Jellybean in 1995, albeit in way less intense versions. The interaction of main and background vocals here is pure perfection, the vocal performance is anyway. The song is an eight minute plea for forgiveness that is beyond par. I would not believe anybody telling me that she actually did not forgive him after hearing this.
K. London Posse Featuring Dawn Tallman – Caught In Luv (Rhythm Mix Vocal) (K4B Records 1994)
From 1993 on Garage House was played to increasingly bigger crowds, and the sweet melodies of former years were now often replaced by a Gospel led urgency, and heavier sounds. Producers like Masters At Work, Mood II Swing or Louie “Balo” Guzman showed the way, and many producers followed. Including Kingsley O., who released a string of high quality records on his K4B label that paired Diva plus team delivery with considerably twisted dubs. Buying double copies to combine both to best effect became mandatory.
Loveland – Hope (Never Give Up) (Junior’s Factory Vocal) (Eastern Bloc Records 1994)
NYC’s Sound Factory was the temple of the new booming Garage House sound, and Junior Vasquez was its adamant high priest. His rules and requirements for his floor are exemplified by this remix, one of many he did in those years. On this occasion riding on the ever reliable Robin S template developed by Sweden’s Finest remix team Swemix/Stonebridge, but adding those tribal rhythms, those rave stabbing chords and particularly introducing that rollercoaster structure that was diminished to one or two drops in recent years. The vocals do not serve not much more purpose than barely holding it all together, but they are still needed.
Brothers’ Vibe Featuring Teddy McClennan – Can U Feel It (Vocal) (Jersey Underground 1996)
The Rodriguez brothers paying their dues to Larry Heard’s eternal classic of a very similar name. It may lack its puzzling blissful emotionality, but it manages to catch up as deep, dark and dubbed out companion and it kicks you mesmerizingly, with your eyes closed, into realms you were probably not yet ready to enter. And you do not even care if you ever get out again.
Urban Soul – What Do I Gotta Do (Eric Kupper Club Mix) (King Street Sounds 1997)
Roland Clark was an early voice of the New Jersey sound back to the very early 90s, his shattered falsetto perfectly accompanied by the dramatic melancholia of his productions. Eric Kupper, man of many a thousand beautiful moments in House Music history, expectedly manages to add further bittersweet intensity to the equation, and a direct route to wailing with the best of them. If you think that House most songs are superficial and one-dimensional, you might just listen to the wrong ones.
The Klub Family – When I Fall In Love (Main Vocal Mix) (Funky People 1998)
There cannot be enough praise for the contributions of Blaze to the canon of songs in House music. Few were as committed to the tradition of Soul within the genre, and few could update said tradition with a sound so distinctively their own. Thus they were an exception when House came into being and they remained an exception for the years to come. Sometime inbetween, they helped to pave the way to the more spiritual and conscious sound celebrated at NYC clubs such as The Shelter and Body & Soul, and then they ruled it. Never ever write them off.
After a productive but rather short period on DJ International in the early 90s, Craig S. Loftis reappeared with this stunning record (the Blaze inspired “You Are All I Need” from one year later is also well worth tracking down). At that time Joe Smooth had vanished from my radar as well, but even if they had only done this one tune, I would be forever grateful. The way this track maintains a floating excellence over such a monolithic funked up groove is just incredible. And then comes the dub version, and you better watch out.
Big Moses – Deep Inside (Vocal) (Big Moe Records 2004)
Moise Laporte is best known for his sublime “Brighter Days” from 1996, but I cannot recommend this record enough either. I really despise a lot of “Soulful Garage” for its bland Pseudo-Jazz drenched noodlings but here all wrong musicianship temptations are kept in check for a well-balanced sophisticated groover straight for the Modern Soul floor. May the girls and boys keep on swinging, and may the faith be kept.

Eins musste man den Italienern schon immer lassen, sie wissen meist sehr zeitig welcher Sound sich in qualitativer und kommerzieller Hinsicht zu kopieren lohnt. Das zieht sich von Adaptionen amerikanischer Discomusik der klassischen Phase bis hin zu heutigem Minimalgeklacker. Natürlich hat das auch oft zu sehr originären Interpretationen geführt, teilweise wurde auch etwas ganz Neues daraus was sich an die Ursprungsländer als Ursprung zurückverkaufen ließ. Die musikalisch fortschrittliche Fraktion von Italo Disco wäre ein Beispiel, diverse ältere House- und Technoproduzenten in den US-Metropolen können es bestätigen. Ein wirklich glückliches Zusammentreffen war die italienische Annektierung von House. Wurden die ersten Chicago-Trax noch mit massivem Pianoeinsatz und plakativsten Disco-Diven-Samples Ende der 80er zu Chartbreakern à la Blackbox verkehrt, an denen sich insbesondere die englische Breakbeat-Szene schon seit Jahren erfreut und abarbeitet, griff man Anfang der 90er den New Yorker House-Sound auf, für den vor allem Labels wie Strictly Rhythm, Nervous und Nu Groove standen, neben zahllosen anderen anbetungswürdigen Kleinstadressen mit gelegentlichen Geniestreichen. Auf einmal erschienen Importe aus Italien, die in der Sanftheit und Emotionalität der US-Prototypen geradezu badeten, denn in den Großclubs in Rimini und Riccione wie Peter Pan oder Ethos Mama reichten die großzügigen Flächen und Bassgrooves von Produzenten wie Wayne Gardiner, Bobby Konders, Mood II Swing, den Burrell-Brüdern oder Nathaniel X nicht einmal aus, da ging es um andere Räume und ein anderes Gemeinschaftsgefühl auf der Tanzfläche, da musste mit dem großen Pinsel nachgebessert werden. Wenn man Italo House dieser Jahre beschreibt, verfällt man deswegen schnell in azurblaue Klischees, denn tatsächlich eint alle diese Stücke, dass sie eine mediterrane Selbstzufriedenheit ausstrahlen, die mit dem vom urbanen Alltagskampf geprägten Melancholieklang amerikanischer Großstädte nur noch in Resten zu tun hat. Stattdessen bekommt man hier eine reiche Palette an Sounds und Arrangements, die teilweise bis knapp unter die Kitschgrenze stoßen, auf der Tanzfläche aber nicht nur für die kollektive Glückseligkeit aufgebrezelter Einheimischer und der clubeigenen Fächertänzerinnen sorgten. Reichlich Urlauber waren genauso von dieser warmen Umarmung eingenommen, und reisten mit einer musikalischen Utopie in ihre grauen Vorstädte zurück. So etwas erzielt man natürlich nur mit Könnerschaft, und die Produzenten hinter Omniverse beispielsweise, Ricky Montanari und Moz-art, wussten schon seit etlichen Jahren was bei ihren Tänzern funktioniert und was nicht. Beide waren seit den 70ern hinter den Decks, ersterer fing eher als klassischer Disco-DJ an, letzterer war einer der wenigen Cosmic-Pioniere, die heutzutage jeder schon damals kannte. Und „Antares“ ist neben „Alone“ von Don Carlos die Genredefinition, sechs Minuten wie ein übermütiger Sprung in einen glitzernden Pool, und wenn man am anderen Ende wieder auftaucht, sieht man schöne Menschen in luftiger Bekleidung und schweißtreibenden Bewegungen, und da kommt auch schon der erste Drink. Es geht auch ohne Kopf.
So viel zum Thema trippig. Könnte ich dafür schon anwenden den Begriff.
Ist das eine Platte über die Du im Plattenladen nachdenken würdest?
Wahrscheinlich ja. Möchte sie aber noch ein bisschen länger hören.
Bist du jemand der Platten im Laden etwas länger hört?
Ich höre gerne ein bisschen länger, weil ich ansonsten gerne mal etwas nicht entdecke, und dann denke „das ist es nicht“. Aber dann merke ich, dass sich das entfaltet, wenn man ein bisschen länger reinhört. Umgekehrt ist es mir auch schon mal passiert, dass ich ganz schnell reingehört hab und mich zuhause frage, was ich da mitgenommen habe. Das hier mag ich von der Stimmung ganz gern. Die hat schon ein bisschen was Düsteres, aber gleichzeitig auch was ganz Entspanntes, wo man sich reinlegen und dahin fließen kann.
Ein Soundtrack-Feeling?
Ja, auf jeden Fall. Da kann man schon mal ein bisschen wackeln, das könnte ich mir für ein Anfangsset super schön vorstellen. Zum Reinkommen.
Das ist die neue Lowtec.
Jetzt wo du es sagst finde ich es gar nicht so abwegig. War jetzt überhaupt nicht der Erste, der mir einfiel, aber doch schön.
Terre Thaemlitz – Hush Now (DJ Sprinkles Broken Record Mix) (Public Record) 2006
Alt?
Ulkigerweise nicht. Das ganze Knacken gehört konzeptuell dazu und ist ganz schön übertrieben. Also wir haben hier Jemanden, der schon ein sehr komplexes Verhältnis zur Clubkultur hat.
Obwohl ich sagen muss, dass ich die Knackgeräusche im Moment dezenter angenehmer finden würde. Also es nervt mich gerade. Am Anfang dachte ich noch: „Oh, da bin ich wirklich voll reingefallen, dachte halt es ist ein altes Stück.“ Das ist mir zu inflationär eingesetzt. So ein bisschen ab und zu hätte ganz viel Charme haben können. Aber so ist es: „Guck mal, ich hab eine lustige Idee.“
Der Mixtitel ist „Broken Record Mix“.
Das ist mir jetzt gerade zu gewollt.
Und wie findest du die Musik ansonsten?
Die könnte hübsch sein. Ich höre ich mir aber lieber eine alte Platte an mit ein bisschen Knistern. Und ich finde das Vocal-Sample total blöd, ist so ein bisschen cooles „Hey Hey Hey“. Es kommt auch zu oft.
Das ist Terre Thaemlitz als DJ Sprinkles.
Das find ich erstaunlich, weil ich den eigentlich toll finde. Die Idee an sich wäre nicht schlecht, aber es ist mir überall zuviel Gewürz drin.
Aber es geht schon in die Richtung von „Midtown 120 Blues“.
Ich würde das Sample rausnehmen und das Knistern reduzieren. Dann wäre es echt super. Hat eine schöne Stimmung und einen tollen Oldschool-Charakter.
Die Art von Bassline benutzt er gerne, erinnert an „Nude Photo“ von Derrick May.
Das finde ich ja ganz toll. Ah, jetzt wird es auch mit dem Knistern weniger. Vielleicht gibt es das auch als „nur leicht angestaubte Platte“-Mix.
Das ist nur als MP3-File erschienen.
Ohne Sample und mit weniger Knistern wäre es der Hit. Aber es gibt tatsächlich andere Tracks von ihm mit ähnlichen Basslines. Wirklich schade, weil ich den sonst ganz grandios finde.
Aber es ist eigentlich eine sehr konsequente Haltung, etwas so Schönes zu verhunzen. Vielleicht bringt er es ja noch ohne Knacken heraus.
Konsequente Haltung ist natürlich ein Argument, aber ich frag mich immer, was eine konsequente Haltung nützt, wenn es mich nervt. Und ich finde das so schade, weil das ohne das Knacken garantiert eine Platte wäre, die ich kaufen würde. Read the rest of this entry »
Seit House Mitte der 90er Jahre die Großraumclubs eroberte, befindet sich House mit Gesang in einer erheblichen Schaffenskrise. Wo vorher Hymnen mit schönen Melodien mit Armgeruder im Club mitgesungen wurden, herrscht nun Überforderung hinsichtlich der Diva plus Kirchenchor-Standards und Unterforderung hinsichtlich der Tatsache, dass in dieser Konstellation nicht mehr eingängige Songs in der Tradition von Soul und Disco benötigt werden, sondern nur noch einschüchternde Breitwandspiritualität. Und wenn mich später heute noch ein Blitz aus dem Himmel treffen mag, der Gospel ist schuld. Dabei gibt es eigentlich genug Beispiele, wie man das Thema für alle Seiten gewinnbringend angeht ohne sich in imperativen Grußformeln auf Filterdiscobasis für die Handtaschenklientel zu erschöpfen oder gleich die ganz große Messe abzuhalten. Lovesongs zum Beispiel, die einfach so schön und wahrhaftig sind, dass der Himmel nicht erst beschrieen werden muss damit er sich öffnen möge. Bei dieser Platte von 1992 macht er das jedenfalls ganz von selbst. Ursprünglich von Mood II Swing zur ihrer besten Schaffensperiode ausgetüftelt, machen Masters At Work in ihrem Remix aus dem Song eine herzerweichende Erklärung an die bittersüße Hilflosigkeit, die nur die ganz große Liebe auszulösen vermag. Elegant schwingt er dahin, dieser Track, von wenig mehr zusammenhalten als einem genialen Klavierakkord und diesem überzeugenden Hilferuf von Silvano, der mich aus etwas rätselhaften Gründen immer an eine Garage-Version von Chris Isaaks “Wicked Game“ erinnert. Aber rätselhafte Assoziationen sollte man niemals verleugnen.
