“House music dominated dance music discourse in 2009, perhaps even more than last year. Gone was much of the fussy, whittled clickety-clack of minimal, replaced by hot 909s, boomy drum samples, syncopated stabs, and looped vocal shots. “Deep” remained the byword, represented in bluesy chords, relaxed grooves and, far too often, sounds and rhetoric designed to invoke the notion of “soufulness.”
\n[…] Ultimately, much of my dissatisfaction with the mainstream of “underground” house this year had to do with its pacing, reliant as it was upon arbitrary 4- and 8-bar sequences that often felt like marching in place, waiting for the obligatory change. It was neither hypnotic, despite its repetitions, nor dynamic, despite its buildups and breakdowns, many of which echoed progressive house in its predictable rushes and denouements. Dancing, like too many cultural experiences these days, felt too much like buffering: drumming your fingers on the desk while you waited for something to happen.” Philip Sherburne<\/a><\/p>\n
