bonbonmaison Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 i agree, alot of clubs are playing hed kandi tracks on non kandi nights :loopy: :loopy: House music has been around since the early 80's so unfortunately you will find other clubs / events playing "house" music - sorry to be the barer of bad news but "hed kandi" did not create this genre of music..

WYEXILE Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Hed Kandi, soulless pop house for coked up builders with perma tans. Couldn't be further from the roots of house if you tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WYEXILE Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 This is sad news indeed. I am 36 now and have been into the clubbing scene and the whole dance music vibe since the mid 80's. Things have now gone full circle from the days of "Cairo Jax and Roxy" to the best night out in the country, including Gatecrasher, Bed, The Music Factory......Oh the good times we had!! Now what do we have.......Nowt, thats what. The music itself is doing the scene no favours either. You have the likes of Ministry of Sound who were once the market leaders in new and pioneering acts now churning out the type of Euro trash that I was bombarded with in Germany. Whats going on out there? Easy cash in or just lazy producers and DJ's who have made the money, released the TUUUUUUNES and are now sitting back and looking towards a fruitful retirement. It is sad with a capital "S" that our great city no longer has nothing to offer. The best night in my eye's at the moment is the regular "Hed Kandi" nights as they seem to be steering clear of the rubbish the clubs are churning out now. Sheffield is by far not the only place to be affected by this as it's happening country wide. The dance music scene seems to have ran out of idea's in general. Happy Hardcore is even making a come back!!!! Just a mature clubbers point of view. I disagree, Hed Kandi symobolises everything that is wrong with the house music scene. For true house music see Back to basics, the plug (on selected nights), Fabric and Bugged out. Here are a smattering of clubs which are still booking proper house/techno DJ's e.g. Andy Weatherall, Jeff Mills, Derrick May, Mark Farina, DJ Sneak etc etc House music is about pushing boundaries, it's about 'the underground'. This is everything that Hed Kandi isn't but thinks it is. Sheffield used to ahve one of the best kept secrets in terms of house nights 'the pin up club'. Small venure, great crowd and absolutely bangin house beats all night. Shame it disappeared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
