What is the quintessential House album? Like the Kind of Blue or Illmatic of House? Something that can tell me "this is house music" preferably for ambient house but any things fine

House and edm are shit
Logan Long
a lot of electronic music, especially dance music, is not centred around albums, but more singles & live sets, so i'd argue there is no 'kind of blue' of house
Adam Anderson
Then what are some good songs?
Hudson Phillips
Is deadmau5 a meme?
Brandon Allen
deadmau5 is shitmainstream edm
Colton James
idk the definition of house even desu electronic music is so genre fluid who cares
Levi Garcia
it's more that EPs are a more popular format than LPs
Matthew Kelly
That's kind of a silly question because electronic music isn't about albums - it's about singles, which are then played in live sets.
That said, I think the first two Daft Punk albums will be remembered as quintessential house albums in 30 years time. Discovery *probably* edges out Homework because you bloody americans took ten years to discover DP, and then it was all just ONE MOOORE TIME FAGGOTS!
>inb4 french touch isn't house. Fuck off it is.

Deadmau5 is good, not my thing but I like this song. He did something different. Wasn't much else going on that I heard about.

Aurora got me this on wax for my birthday, my favorite album I own.

I really wouldn't say that's categorically true.

I used to have illmatic too but I sold it for a dime. It went to a good cause though, the guy I sold it to is a real head. Where I learned about hip-hop from. He grew up in cali and used to trade mixtapes in his school yard.

Yeah, you're right. A minimalist album is a thing of wonder, but as far as the popular genres are concerned (house, for example), albums are very much second fiddle to 12" singles, and digital sources like beatport.
Xavier Adams
He probably meant dance music - at least certain genres.

Larry Heard was in Melbourne last week. I am still angry that I didn't go. Such a chooooon
Lucas Fisher
He ended up playing piano for a church for a while if I'm not mistaken. He made lots of religious music later on, it's a good gig.

Ok. Individual tastes, obviously, but here's what has been tickling my fancy setwise recently (Aussie here)
This whole set is fantastic but it moves around Disco-Tech-House quite a bit. This track at 12:30 is fucking mint. A lot of live sets do, I guess. Mall Grab is moving to London later this year. Expect big things
Bicep are Nth Irish, and along with other UK house artists have a pretty distinctive style. This is my highlight of their set.
I expected a wirey little italian sort of dude when I first listened to Julio Bashmore. He's a big, scottish redhead though. This set is great, and the album 'Knockin' Boots' from last year is sensational.
Massimiliano Pagliara has been my favourite club gig this year. This sooooong!
Honestly I think the reason I'm dumping whole sets with markers on individual songs is twofold: Firstly 'albums' are less important for electronic music IMHO than live sets. And secondly, just FUUUUCK these pros know how to play a crowd.

or Homework or Screamadelica.
