Fidget House?

Zascar

I heard someone talking about this the other day and thought they were joking. Then I heard an ad on spin1038 for some radio show "playing the best in techo, electo and fidget house"

wtf?

Load of s**t. i wounder if U2 had a say in who to remix them , the crookers? get the boat.

The name is a bit of a joke really. Its pretty much less than 10 guys doing all the productions that are part of this genre. Crookers, Herve (The Count), Sinden, Switch, A1 Bassline, Jack Beats etc

The kids love it and to be honest I dont mind it. Can see its appeal for a drunken party or whatever. Isnt it really just Electro House though albeit a little more interesting and slightly less cheesey?

Sinden mentioned it in one interview as a laugh because he didn't like his style being pigeonholed and the interviewer was asking him to categorise what he played/produced. It was a pure joke and then all the blogs took the term for gospel!

Everything from Electro house, Bassline, Baltimore, Miami Bass, Ghetto Tech, 2 Step seems to come under the so called "genre", depending on who you talk to.

Personally I play a lot of this sort of music; like electro house in the broader sense, it's starting to get some bad press from the music aficionados (snobs) but that's just due to a lot of the more commercial stuff that's creeping into the charts. Look to Diplo for a masterclass in this sorta thing, he was probably one of the best acts I saw at EP last year

WHAT a pile of ****e. Went to see Sinden at the EP- ****. There was about twenty people in a huge tent at it, it will die a death shortly this kinda stuff. Herve has talent but is wasting it on associating himself with crap like "beeper"

To be honest im quite a big fan of the crookers and kissy sellout and herve.I just think there are too many snobs in music these days and once something becomes kinda popular everyone starts dissing it.

That's fair enough but I'm not a big fan of any rock/indie remixes and that crookers one is no exception. I have plenty of their discography and like a lot of their tracks e.g. magic bus, atomic baile boy, big money comin'

I dont get this ****e, Ive been called a music snob many a time. Im just a music fan not a music poser. If you want to listen to the ****e music that is directly marketed towards you then be my guest, but dont call others snobs because they have taste and you clearly dont if you like this ****e. Its not the fact that its popular that it annoys me, its the fact that it actually is poorly produced, poorly thought out and only appeals to the lowest common denominator of music fans.
