Nice to know that I'm not the only one missing this music. Forget the
fact that no one makes it anymore, what I want to know is why no one
throws down the old shit that's already out there. I mean I can find
places that play 'way back' sets of rare groove, classic house, etc.
etc. but I have yet to find a dj (in Toronto at least) who will play
any of this stuff anymore (it's like they threw the records out or
something). The only exception I've heard is "I'm gonna dis you" which
I hear on the rare occasion. But what about Let it Roll (ultimate
fave), Do it to the Crowd, etc. Thank god for old DJ tapes - I can
still dance around my room to them at least.
Incidentally, couldn't the same argument be applied to acid house as
well.
