How Larry Heard made house music deep | Resident Advisor 

Nothing sad/lonely about house

I disagree. It has depth in textures and layering, not necessarily sadness.

Check The Godfathers of Deep House South Africa. They are keeping the sound very much alive

@@danieloliver4558 I think more accurate is the sense of drama.

@@ericricky8460 also Amapiano using Deep House

I read an article saying that to this day, many house pioneers never got paid royalties for their work and to this day, are still fighting for royalties. 💔

Kraftwerk definitely contributed alot but never created a new music genre

@@koreyp2845 Kraftwerk were music genre.

@@jeshkam They never created a genre

@@koreyp2845 Isn't "The Model' the first ever synth-pop song, with verses, bridges and choruses? And "Numbers" the 1st ever electro tune?

For nothing else, start at home!

yep the best DJS all rocked vinyl non of this auto bpm crap. i miss my vinyl and regret selling it all.

@@djsubliminalreeve mimimi stop crying digital age has brought about dozens of good musicians that still know how to mix vinyl

Yep.

@@djsubliminalreeve so do I.

on god

You summed it up. I personally cant get into liquid drum n bass unless it has that background ambience deep house is noted for.

Yes 🔥

Yes I agree

If it's too light or bright in tone for me it's not deep. It should have some soul, remincing on jazz and blues sonic textures.

Aaron Richter exactly. To me house is not much dance music but spiritual music. Great for night crusing on a freeway.

A B true.. Just as long as it's not gospel tinged which changes everything

Transkei81Native especially during Corona 💯

Lol I'm here because I'm looking for new music. Gqom and amapiano are nice but I'm looking for something more soothing 😉

Lekker bro

@@bhuuthesecond my beats are exactly that.

Totally overlooked if you are in the EDM and festie scene, but not #4thosethatKNO

Yep. I mean even in Chicago they emphasize Frankie, Farley and the Hot Mix 5 (which is ok) while this dude never gets enough cred

Roomy Lan I agree with you.

Not in my circles, but I'd agree he deserves wider exposure

In the mainstream normal working world,Larry Heard is not a household name. Yes he is criminally underrated and overlooked.

Mark Davenport you ain't lying... Deep house makes you feel a sort of way. This is why I grew up listening to the house group Ten City who is from Chicago also which borrowed heavily from Heard

That feeling you get from that song is actually your "hidden language" responding to the music. We all possess it but some of us never experience having an actual conversation with music. That song actually spoke your hidden language. Have a good night....and House Music All Night Long!

I was about to comment the same thing about mystery of love. To this day I get this overwhelming feeling about it. The same thing about

Can you feel it.

Couldn’t agree more - this track has had a lasting effect on me. Arguably the best house track ever

Jt +1 !!!

ebrainv true that am in South Africa and i have one of his cds "the best of Larry head" here most us who knows his music, we respect him highly

totally

First thing I thought. ,'Thats it??!" Some subjects don't work well in short format. but whatever, I'm about to dig some wax out of my closet!

Absolutely.

deep as puddles

Truth. I'm very selective about the House and EDM I listen to because I was raised on the parent musics that Deep House borrowed from. I could hear it off a few chords. It is the harmony of the synth and the drum and mood. The complexity in the arrangement

like a loose woman

Doesn’t get thrown around as much as lo fi -_- now deep house with a little bit of hiss and crackle and a fuck load of reverb is called lo fi house

Can confirm. It was more fun in the '80s and '90s because (1) we didn't have phones, and (2) we weren't all facing the DJ -- in fact most people weren't paying attention to the DJ at all. People went to dance clubs to dance.

Must have been much less people with burned out dopamine receptors from molly abuse

Nowadays people model their happiness based on how the world sees them i,e, their social media identity. Back then in the 80’s people did not had that concept, once you were in the party that was all that mattered really, there was no notion of telling the world were you where and what you were up to, hence, giving out human brains more headroom to actually enjoy the present moment. Nowadays sadly is not the same, people are not only wary of how they must “portray to the world” they are also constantly living in fear of the big brother eye, scared of being filmed and mad fun of online etc... the digital age is kinda goodish but not entirely perfect...

@@synthiamodulatta9720 Brilliant considerations. Sad but true

You don’t need to base your happiness around the people around you in a club, if you think phones and drugs ruined the club scene, stop engaging with them and be happy in your own self

Rico Crockett couldn't have said it better myself!

Holy fuck this is exactly how it feels!

Right on point! We share the same vibes!

Check out jarenet B1 Zenith Best track I've heard

Couldn’t agree with you more!

I thought the Jackson family were from Indiana

⚡⚡⚡

You'll just gave it the name. It's rooted in the Brooklyn basement parties

Lol! I used to have these battles back in the day with one of the guys I was stationed with from Chicago!

Vincent Larry INDEED

Producers made house. You did nothing :)

Nubian Archer ummm no

from the first touch I reconized the robbery in discretion...

What song?

Ben2k109 Fade

@@Ben2k109 > It was in Fade. It also sampled "Deep Inside" by Hardrive and "I Get Lifted" by Barbara Tucker. Those 2 from NYC, not Chi.

Jerry I its called sampling its legal and ethical your deep house homeboy is getting a cut from kanye - smartass

hahahaahhahaha

I’ve read that Heard was influenced by jazz and gospel, but no references to classical music influences. No doubt all contemporary, commercial music is the result of cross-cultural collaboration, but Why this imaginary connection between house/techno and white European classical music? The idea that Black music is legitimate art ONLY as it is compared to the European ‘Masters’ is a very subtle form of racism. It is IMPORTANT to understand that House, Techno, Disco, Funk, Soul, Rock, Blues, Jazz and yes even Country are rooted in the music of Black and Afro-Cuban cultures. Otherwise, you do not understand the music, and are only ‘whiteplaining’ - NOT educating - and are deepening the injustices done to those who never received due credit, nor compensation for their music.

Larry heard is one of my favorites aswell a true pioneer and prototype in house music

Yes indeed! Burial and the narrator's voice brought me here, but the wisdom made me subscribe.

Agreed! So much more you all could do. Marshall Jefferson, Frankie, Joe Smooth, Jesse Saunders, Chip. The list goes on 🎼

except he fled there and has lived in Memphis for decades...#notmentioned

Fr fr...

Chi forever? Not if the ops keep at it. Chicago is killing it'self! :[

James S house music is one of the main reasons ChiTown is on my bucket list

FYI for the vast majority who never knew, this whole house thing started in NYC gay black clubs, including Frankie Knuckles, hometown NYC www.nytimes.com/2018/03/01/obituaries/boyd-jarvis-whose-synthesizer-fueled-dance-music-died-at-59.html

i love you

In the early 90s breakbeats and house shared the same dance floors, so I see them as pretty close relatives :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Gwfs96sfNrI.html

I was a DnB and Hip hop DJ from '97 to '05 playing FL to VA to NYC. All of our "crew" were House DJ's except myself. I learned to mix hip hop and house first. Occasionally I would play a House set and they were among the best I ever had. great times.

Huh ummm 86 King Street the other Larry, Larry LeVan.

Most of them gay.

Laurin Joel Schafhausen like your father

Haha lol what is your problem? That is a fact.

@@laurinjoelschafhausen the welfare state destroyed black families. Government, single parenting and divorce confuses kids and effects them through adulthood.

fuckin eh we did !! And techno 2

I was working as a DJ & listening to House in the late 80's/ early 90's in Townsville of all places. Mostly stuff like Inner City & Steve Hurley. I managed to work some house tracks into the dance sets, but most peole were clueless, apart from 1 other DJ & a French tourist. 😁

Dcup when you dropping a new single my guy?

yeah, we need more phat Dcup boogie house funk!

That’s cool, I remember buying some of your tracks on beatport before

Dcup Indeed!!!!

YESSSR!

DCook ,yeah maybe in Chicago but we was mixing like that in the east back in the 70s . Yall was late.

I was referring to strictly his production and the genre defining "Can You Feel It". I'm well schooled & studied in DJ culture and the roots. Yes mixing and party culture has firm FIRM roots in the NYC underground. Mancuso & Loft, The Garage and Leven etc etc.... but for production and "deep house" as a genre...Mr. Heard is GOAT in my book.

shizzlers0135 Larry Heard wasn't ahead in his time, he was in his time! I was 16 in 1989 and house, deep house or more generally techno weren't for just happy fews. On radios and dancefloors you could listen to it, not only in USA, I'm french and this is my teenage music! The fact is that, nowadays, few house music makers are really in their time or ahead in it, most of popular ones only recycle without any creativity. Luckily we can still hear very good house music but not in mainstrem medias like the 80's and 90's. For my generation it was a kind of golden age! But I still looking for good sounds and there is a lot, I just have to go to it because it doesn't go to me easily! Actually it's a more exciting quest...like a treasure hunt!!! Sorry for my broken english. Have a nice day!

You are APPRECIATED. They insert themselves in this anyway than can. PS - Wild Thing only exists because we made Rock & Roll too.

Or people can just make music and stop trying to box it....

😅😅😅

Who cares man just enjoy the music ffs

Rite

And don't hate the race that innovate da music

Ikr!

Just get his back catalogue

Try 'Mr Fingers - Cerebral Hemispheres (full album)' for starters...

Thanks! I will now post under every second Video on youTube that "there is more to it" and that you "just had to be there". Its so helpful.

I agree....

"had to of been", what does that even mean?

@@TvangsProd2 using colloquial speech in writing does look odd

M Riley I agree, but everyone SHOULD have been all Frankie and Ronnie.....especially Ronnie. Larry Heard brought the musicianship. No doubt about it. However, Ronnie = “Deep House”. Ron Trent said it perfectly.

i say musicians i meant more the melodies and compositions they come up with, that aren't solely the percussion and rythm, not that a drummer doesn't count as a musician
