ITS HAUS MUZIK!!

Beyond any shadow of a doubt the sound of the worldwide underground in 09' is deep, dirty, soulful House music. This isn't just signified by the explosion of UK Funky onto the worldwide scene but instead signifies a sea change in sensibilities; people want music that not only moves the body but reaches deep into your mind and soul with psychedelic inclinations. Here's a few songs that have been massaging my brain as of late.



This is a stone cold classic from 1996. Truly transcendent dance music from Kerri Chandler, the House legend from New Jersey. This song really carries a timeless air about it, Hallelujah indeed.





One of my favorite surprises of 09' comes from Detroit native Andres. His Andres II EP clocks in at under 30 min but is full of a mix of Dilla style grooves with more dance ability and a heavier R&B-house slant. I'd have to say this is probably the most soulful music I've heard in quite awhile.



Geiom can't sit still. He's dabbled in just about every style of urban UK dance music this decade. However i'd have to say this is possibly my favorite style of his. Eyl Booty has obvious nods to UK Funky but the production values are incredible and the percussion spot on. This is one for the 2AM crowd, a mind bending experience of bass, booty shaking and serious grooves.



Cooly G sits squarely in the middle of the Dubstep/Funky crowd while not really wanting to be part of either. Her music carries a signature broken-beat feel mixed with wonderfully moody atmospherics. Weekend Fly was just released on the Hyperdub 5 comp and is perhaps the strongest track of the whole bunch. Perhaps the track here least indebted to House is only because her style is so unique. However it's power in the dance in undeniable, its true future music.




Carry on.
