awepittance Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 so what i take away from this is there is practically no point if your goal is to get instant attention in music press from making a debut album instead make a bunch of singles hype the shit out of your stuff and wait for the bloggers to take the bait. edit: does this oOoOO act really live in San francisco? i know he did a dj set at the milk bar but that's literally the only time i've heard of him/them playing here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghOsty Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 I was pretty sure witch house was a joke genre thought up by a couple dude's from 4chan's /mu/ board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerwolf Posted August 18, 2010 Author Share Posted August 18, 2010 I was pretty sure witch house was a joke genre thought up by a couple dude's from 4chan's /mu/ board I agree Witch House sounds ridiculous lol. But who on here gives a damn about labels/pigeon-holes anyway? Some of the music is okay. Sometimes the worst thing that can happen is to get labeled in a genre. If it becomes a fad, your music dies on the day that the genre falls out of fashion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghOsty Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 I used to visit /mu/ a lot I didn't care for most of what was posted in pretty much the same copy paste "witch house" sharethreads.. there's a couple sitting in my downloads folder I haven't gotten to though. It's a novel concept most ofit just isn't that good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awepittance Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 http://drownedinsound.com/community/boards/music/4256639 interesting to see a massive Oversteps thread style discussion about it, i see a couple of people comparing it to EBM which i don't really hear, atop: am i not hearing the right tracks? Ebm as i idealize it hasn't really been tapped yet for full on retrofetish revival. I'd love to hear some people doing garagey or minimal techno renditions of late 80s/early 90s stuff.

I'd love to hear some people doing garagey or minimal techno renditions of late 80s/early 90s stuff. maybe they're refering to the Chicago Industrial revival that is closely tied to Drag. Artists like Gatekeeper (who are fooking awesome), White Car and TENSE all have a an EBM influence. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_0JftWlyf4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bepypIZlYRk we could do this movement a huge favour and not give it a bad name.

Atop Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 yeah they are being lumped in there but I don't like either of those tracks as much as the stuff I posted.... always felt that EBM was the worst genre name I have ever heard... Witch House is great for horror fans and people who like puns.... I like stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Backson Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 yeah they are being lumped in there but I don't like either of those tracks as much as the stuff I posted.... damn, serious? i think I like the chicago stuff better than most drag just because its less druggy and more... epic i guess. I'm definately hanging out for the next Gatekeeper EP... maybe i should start a whole new thread... as for the name EBM, i can dig it. well, more than IDM anyway.

Atop Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 eeew, electronic body music? what does that even mean? Wet Orgy Music WOM....just sounds gross to me but I like the music you showed...but sounds exactly like early 80's Ministry to me Salem, Balam Acab, o0o00 all have an older sound but with new elements hidden... and Gatekeeper is the name of an artist on Skull Disco that I like more than the 'drag' one.... What the hell is 'Drag'? another name for shoegaze? Edumacate me.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it sounds less ridiculous, nice even. and trying to apply logic to this, I sound ridiculous. (another name is "screwgaze", but online journalists tend to invent a new name every time the genre is brought up) also, I've heard a bit about the other Gatekeeper. can you recommend any of his stuff?

Atop Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 ahhh, thanks for the low down... kind of witch housey (draggy) in its own way, hehehehe.... love this stuff: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GryqEudDtfI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
posture Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 While so far, I have waded through a lot of shit, I enjoy some of the music associated with the name Witch House. The original link posted in the OPs post had some interesting stuff. I really like this: [youtubehd]J0zYmPKAP18[/youtubehd] It reminds me of Sunsetcorps/Oneohtrix Point Never's videos on youtube. Mater Suspira Vision has some interesting visuals on youtube/vimeo which are pretty weird and interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awepittance Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 i think it would be very easy to create hype around a new fake genre of electronic music with the way the music blog system works today. anyone want to start one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
