Back in the day all my D&B loving mates would laugh at me for listening to house, their impression of house is based on the occasional girly vocals and the gay connotations (the sound originated in gay clubs - for a good reason, those dudes know how to cane it, house music wouldn't be without the drugs!). Fuck them, most of them are listening to house of some sort these days, be it electro, minimal/techno, even some dubstep these days, all basically house.
Anyway, any self respecting fan of house should know and love "I Feel Love" by Donna Summer, there are numerous house and even breaks remixes of it, it's the archetypal house track, and it was produced the year I was born, 1977! The track was produced by an Italian guy called Georgio Moroder. Being short of listening material, I decided to check out some of his other stuff and downloaded the album "From Here to Eternity"
It's fucking amazing, in 1977 he made a fully electronic album, basically the blueprint of modern house music. At first I thought it must be a remix album, some tracks are even mixed! Of course parts of the album sound pretty dated and cheesy but this album clearly influenced '80's synth pop (duran duran) as well as modern house and techno. This guy took the cold alien synth sound of Kraftwerk, mixed with the pop music of the time (disco) and came up with the blueprint of modern electronic music.
