What we hear today from the dance music? 80% of it is House! Where did he come from? Like all the most trendy, certainly in America, in the the birthplace of jazz, funk, disco and hip-hop. Marshall Jefferson - Move Your Body
Somewhere in the 80's, when everybody were already tired of disco,the need fora new sound increased,so thatinChicago music producersputted together disco and thedrummachine andgot thehousemusic. NotoriousFrankie Knuckles was playing it atthe"Warehouse" club.
The new genre got its name from the name of the club - "House music". Disco was made with a live orchestra drummers and singers, house was composed in home conditions, and everything you need to do to compose house is a four-track recorder and drum machine.

"In the beginning, there was Jack, and Jack had a groove. And from this groove came the groove of all grooves. And while one day viciously throwing down on his box, Jack boldly declared, "Let there be house!" and house music was born. " (the lyrics "Can You Feel it" Mr. Fingers aka Larry Heard)

J - Rocc is one of the the founding fathers of Beat Junkies, and as for me, his debut solo record «Some Cold Rock Stuf» is a real novelty of the year.
Original instrumental hip-hop, that, for sure, will find it's fans.
Tracklist poured with variety of moods, like a bubble on the light. And compositions «Party», «Chasing The Sun» are good examples, wich I like the most.

On March 22nd, CunninLynguists are dropping off their fifth studio album "Oneirology". For all hip - hop fans, it is available on the web. Overall, the album is quite good, but it's not their best work, there are 3-5 dope tracks, but still nothing special. The most awesome track (for us) is "get ignorant", you can hear real Cunninlynguists there, so check the audio in the bottom of the post:). Also there is a view, that a tracklist is monotonous, most of the tracks sound similar and boring, taking into account, that these guys really know how to make music, this fact a little bit frustrating us. So, we advise you to download "Oneirology", but don't be shocked, if you won't hear anything fascinating.
