But like most successful things they will change and evolve - this is a sign of popularity and should be welcomed imo. There is no need to lose the history or recognition that the fathers of house deserve, but I fully support more and different people getting involved...<br /><br />Why do you say 'decline'? What do you mean?Chris Woodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03253278920337499938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905519941411355306.post-77600500207649715402011-05-07T03:27:14.911+01:002011-05-07T03:27:14.911+01:00House is the soul of music.

The reason it needs to come back now is that dance music has lost its connection with soul during the last 10-15 years and it's what we all need. <br /><br />African-Americans invented House from disco, rare groove, and jazz-funk and we can trace its decline to the abandonment of House by African-American producers for hip-hop etc. House (and its sibling, techno) NEED the Afro element. White folks just don't have the soul. If you don't believe me, just compare some deep early 90s House or the Detroit masters with Berlin techno or tech-house...see what I mean?<br /><br />So, when our African brothers and sisters embrace the dance floor once more, as they are beginning to do now, we will get back to the heart of House; and everyone will groove better.Decadeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07480940477967537902noreply@blogger.com
