1988-club 1235 (level) my first encounter with house music. not going to go into detail but through time i've been through all sorts of genre and sub-genres. 96-98 ny house and cheesy shit like tong, jules, oakie, etc. 98-00 trance heavy days 00-01 progressive and west coast 01-02 who cares, whatever makes me move whether it be house, progressive, tech house, or techno. before 98, u don't even wanna know...lol... ever hear speed garage??? lately ive been feeling that dubby boring house music. shit i can smoke out too and just veg. very minimal, nothing much going on, yet effective. craig richards, dj dano, and tyler stadius are good examples of that quirky sound.
