And what about hip-house?

I love hip house!

Some of it was corny but it was a lot of fun.

In a SOS magazine review Joe Zawinul (from weather report) made a bold claim to have invented the hiphop beat. Maybe its true, shit I dunno. A seriously talented guy nevertheless. Or he could be goin' senile in his old age lol

I know a black guy making dnb...

That's an impressive trick for a pianist.

It'd also be a deeply stupid claim coming from anyone not called Clyde Stubblefield.

I think music created itself

Does skin colour really matter? I mean, isn't this an archaic question?

Firstly, to TVD, sorry for helping take the thread off topic. Unless of course, you've been enjoying it.

Secondly, I want to say that my remark was a reaction to this statement:

soulkraka wrote:house and techno were invented by black people.

which I am uncomfortable with because of its strict and absolute tone.

I was trying (and doing so quite badly) to suggest that lines could perhaps not so easily be drawn.

I'm not a big fan of labels (or absolutes) like black, white, house and techno, because they often seem to be inaccurate from some perspective.

I have also learned to be skeptical of histories and the people who write them. Perhaps this is as a result of having learned how African American history has been distorted and largely left out of text books for the last 200+ years. Or it's because of the poorly documented and supported Christian history lessons I've had rammed down my throat.

Regardless, I should allow that soulkraka and the widely accepted histories of the genres in question may be dead on accurate, from a certain perspective, which I may too adopt, with more information.

Thanks for the links TVD.

No. Just curiousity on the original poster's part.

I've met a bunch of people out here in Boston, who are trying to get that vibe back. Actually, most of the deep house heads I know really feel this. That's what really has drawn me to deep house / house music.

I don't think so necc... Blacks in electronica are very rare (or so it seems anyway), I'm always curious to see who else is as well.

I've REALLY been curious as to how many KVRians are

Any Black People Making Electronic Music (Beside Hip-Hop)?
