If House is a feeling, what feeling would that be? - Dallas Dance Music - Dallas nightlife, music, tickets, and more

ManWithNoName · 05-12-08, 07:29 AM

I've always been intrigued by that phrase. Trance (at least not the watered-down kind) is pretty obvious what the emotional response is. Other genre names, like drum-and-bass or electro point to how it sounds. It seems like trance is the only genre with a name that points to an emotion.

Ok, I know, I know, what's in a name. So tell me, what is that feeling that people think of when someone says, "House is a feeling".

I have my own take but what is yours?

lol audri!

yeah i was about to say it probably feels like the runs.

House is what it feels like when you get molested by drag queens.

For real though, to me house feels like home. I almost equate it to what the womb might be like. All warm and cozy, with mom's ever present, steady heart beat setting life to a rhythm.

For me house is about happiness and love. I've been so uplifted by it at times I've actually shed a few tears of joy. When I get that overwhelming sensation of joy, to me, it's even more intense and pleasurable than sex (and trust me, I love sex). It just warms my heart when I hear it. Puts me at peace. Something about it just connects with me on so many levels. Makes me feel powerful, energized.

It can also get so funky that I just have to jack my body, no matter where I am. My car is basically a mobile disco. I was at this coffee shop just the other day listening to some new shit on Stompy with my headphones on and I caught myself several times bobbin' my head, stompin' my foot, and groovin' my torso in my chair. I realised ppl were watching. lol

I love the whole style of house. I love how househeads look. How they dance. How they act. I love how the people who are into house are so friendly and approachable. I love how you can bring your girl to a house show and not have to worry about her getting groped or fucked with. House is a friendly place. It's sophisticated. It's sexy. It's sweaty. It's flirty. It's playful. It's dirty. Its so many things.

its kind of a chalky burn on the back of your throat.

Well put, Matt. I would also add the word 'family' in there as well. Go to a good house show and be prepared to be approached by anyone and to be able to approach anyone. No attitude, no BS... just friendly good times. People may joke and laugh about that, but there's no other scene that I have ever found that is quite the same.

Truth.

thats true about house in dallas. good people in dallas. i've seen some crazy house egos in other towns though.

joe holmes · 05-12-08, 10:36 AM

I agree guys. Family, community, VIBE. That's what house is about!

Sexual Chocolate · 05-12-08, 10:43 AM

It is the movement of a heart, the collision of two or more strings in a greater cascade of sound; the meaning of all wisdom.

Okay, the stuff that lets you know that everything is going to be alright.

That last sentence is what really encapsulates it all for me. A good house tune makes zombies, mass murderers, and the Cloverfield monster at your door seem alright.

Roos · 05-12-08, 10:46 AM

In reality though, it's just Disco combined with technology. And Disco always provided that same feeling too... Well, if you are old enough to remember.

I like how the house scene feels very tribal in a more modern sord of way.

Roos · 05-12-08, 10:49 AM

Did you just say 'sord of way'?

I could let that one go except that the 'd' isn't really right next to the 't'.
