Delve into the rhythmic archives of electronic dance music as we take a closer look at the vibrant era of Old School House. Originating in the late ’80s and ’90s, this genre laid the groundwork for the EDM scene that resonates with us today, offering a rhythmic journey that transcends time.
Old School House music encapsulates the essence of an era where thumping four-on-the-floor basslines, soulful vocals, and hypnotic repetitions dominated the dancefloor. It’s more than just music; it’s a visceral experience that defined an entire generation.
At its core, Old School House boasts a roster of trailblazing artists such as Larry Heard, Frankie Knuckles, and Inner City, who became the architects of a sonic revolution. Their creations not only shaped the landscape of electronic music but continue to influence contemporary genres like techno and trance.
Whether you’re seeking a dose of musical nostalgia or eager to uncover the roots of today’s dance music culture, Old School House beckons. Living Legend Fritz Kalkbrenner has always shifted between different electronic music genres and has made no secret of his love for house music and early Golden Era Hip Hop grooves.
Now the Berlin-based artist releases his new single “Set You Free”, an old school house-influenced production full of warm vibes, catchy vocal samples and an iconic groove. Once again, Fritz Kalkbrenner is able to stay true to his signature sound and still break new ground.
