My favorite things: Musicianship

In the age of Auto Tunes and 808 machines it's refreshing to see house music producers keeping the tradition of musicianship alive. Now don't get me wrong I know house/dance music is also created electronically hence its title "electronic music" but house music's roots run deep in live instrumentation.

A recent example is Micky More's remix of the Angela Johnson track “Better“. More's version which dropped December 2009 exclusively on iTunes is a nicely done 123 bpm house version, with live instruments.

Watching this video is cool on so many levels. We get a glimpse into music production and are reminded that no matter what new machine or device is created nothing beats music created my people. It definately puts the soul in soulful house music and that's why it's one of my favorite things.

DJ Kneeka: The first lady of Charlotte house music

James Brown may have professed it’s a man’s world in his classic tune, but Nicole Williams aka DJ Kneeka turns that theory upside down every time she steps behind the DJ booth and does her thing. DJ Kneeka is cool, down to earth and an amazing DJ. Hard to believe she's be at it less than 5 years! Click the article title to check out my recent chat with her and find out for your self.
