Ishkur's guide (link in the first reply to OP) is the most comprehensive guide I've ever seen!

Re: Recommend house music to somebody who has NEVER listened to it bef
If you don't consider Daft Punk, Basement Jaxx, or Groove Armada as House Music, then what do you think House music is? Daft Punk is responsible for funky house coming out of obscurity and into the mainstream in the 90's. Granted, these groups may not sound the same as "brilliant" groups like Alice Deejay or the Venga Boys, but that doesn't mean that they aren't House.
Personally, I would say that the Venga Boys is more trance than House, although many would disagree since they clearly do incorporate some House elements in their music. What differentiates House from Trance is NOT the drumbeat, which is what I think confuses most people. House simply sounds different than trance. Trance is, for the most part, melody-driven. The Venga-Boys' "Let's get this Party Started" or "Up and Down" (which sound EXACTLY the same to me) is built around the melody. On the other hand, the most important factors in most House music is the bass and the drums. Listen to "Around the World" by Daft Punk, which I would consider to be an archetypal house track, and you can hear what I am saying.

sander kleinenburg danny howells adam freeland seb fontaine dave seaman danny tenaglia honestly, find any of the CDs in the Global Underground series of mixes and you'll be off to a good start. house music isn't really like rock where you can say "hey this is a good song." there's sooo many mixes and remixes that unless you really want to take the time to track down new stuff every day it's much easier to find a DJ you like and then just find some of his sets. plus, half the fun of electronic music is hearing a sick mix (as in song a is playing and the dj mixes it with the next track to transition from one to the other). if you just get a bunch of tracks then you'll never hear that half. at first it will all sound the same but if you keep up with new sets and new tracks you'll recognize the track you heard last week and start to hear the transitions and that's when it gets really fun. it's actually a pretty deep scene once you get into it. it's amazing how fast tracks explode then disappear. it can take one week for a track to be made, get to the DJs, and have everyone EXPECT to hear that track when they go out on friday night. next week, all the DJs are playing a remix of the track. week three, the track is gone, never to be heard again. if you're not going out to clubs things will move a little slower, but really, that's the fun part of electronic music. so find some mixes that you like (DJs will stick to the same styles of tracks) then find some other DJs that are similar then find out when one of them is playing naer oyu and go see them. oh yeah, i think david guetta (http://www.davidguetta.com maybe?) has a free weekly podcast. from what i remember it was pretty good and would be very accessible for someone new to the genre, without being overly commercial and/or 10 years old. one final note, i haven't listened to house music in a while and was never really that into it, so the guys i mentioned might not be dropping the hottest tracks, so if you like what you hear spend some time to go find new stuff. the music is always changing and that's what makes it so great.

Couple of links: http://www.progressive-sounds.com/ http://www.protonradio.com/ [/ QUOTE ] I have only heard of Proton via breaks mixes, though there's a lot of house/progressive/breaks that's basically interchangable for genre. On that note, Hybridized is great: http://www.hybridized.org Don't get the latest Andrew Kelly mix though, it's weird/crap.

Re: Recommend house music to somebody who has NEVER listened to it bef
House music suggestions:
JUSTICE!!! (if you haven't heard their album 'cross' yet, you're missing out. Deep Dish Doc Martin Danny Tenaglia Roger Sanchez Erick Morillo Satoshi Tomaii Fatboy Slim Dj Dan Chemical Brothers (I'm only throwing them in here because they have a GREAT new album out) David Morales Danny Howells Desyn Masiello Donald Glaude I rarely listen to electronic/dance music any more, so some of those names might not have many new mixes out since 03-04 when I fell off the dance music scene.
