I'm just gonna come right out and say it - I don't like house. You'll never find me in the house tent at a festival, ever.
There are always exceptions to the rule. Those exceptions are generally viewed to be Prog House or Electro, not real house. And to be fair, I've never delved deep into the house genre. Dutch house is something that I believe is popular, but I've never taken the time to really get into it.
I think what has ruined house for me is the constant pop culture surrounding the genre. And you know, maybe that should be a new genre - pop house. But the constant crap being put out by producers like Hardwell, Swedish House Mafia, Tiesto, and their evil leader, Guetta, make me want to shoot myself in the head.
I go to shows where, let's say... Excision is the headliner. Sweet. Supported by Liquid Stranger. Awesome. Supported by Savoy. ... Okay, never heard of them before (this was over a year ago, mind you), but I'll give them a shot. Boy, was I scraping at the walls.
Swedish producers Daleri on soundcloud recently put up a mashup of 16 top-house songs at festivals. I'll let you guys decide what to think.
