A friend of mine in Ireland said of the "Soulful House" genre that it is comprised of records that appeal to House Music fans and tunes that appeal to Modern Soul fans. The amount of tunes that fit in to this latter category are in the minority. A few that spring to mind are: Luther Vandross- Are you using me Hardsoul feat Ron Carroll- Back together Kenny Bobbien- Rise Above the Storm Michelle Weeks- By Your Side Kerri Chandler- Tomorrow I reckon these tunes could be spun in a Modern Room. They are much more Soul to me than House. I like some Jazz/House stuff as well. One of my main criticisms of the Soulful House genre is that they are trying to recreate the classic 7ts Soul/Disco sound and in most cases they fail to do that. Often the vocal can be good but the music in the background is just very sterile a lot of the time and the prominent repetitive beat is very boring. However, there are some gems to be found if you look hard. But I prefer the old Soul sounds of the 6ts/7ts/8ts to be honest. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Epic Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 The one thing I love about this scene is the different angles we all take on the music. Only last week I heard a conversation in which TTBA was described as a "Northern Soul" classic. On here it has been likened to House. I see it as a "New York Disco Classic". In the glory days of Motown they made soul records with a danceable beat - this leads me to think that they must have been making "Soulful Dance " music. Nothing really changes - only the "handles" we put on the music. PS - Good shout on Vicki Sues version of Daylight - I've been boring people to death for many a year with the same opinion.

Motown records of the 60's had a heart and a soul, this music is just cold. Agree with you up to a point Pete - however comparing Motown to House music leads me to this conclusion. The Northern scene only plays a very small percentage of the music produced in the sixties at Motown. There are plenty of modern dance records that do use traditional instrumentation - again the modern dance scene only plays a small percentage of countless titles which are released every week - it's all about picking the right ones. In fact much the same as picking the "right" sixties Motown tunes. There are plenty of modern tunes with fantastic soulful vocals. Again it is all about conceptions of the music - many people who were never into northern soul & buy contemporary dance music see northern as sounding all the same.

chrissie Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 (edited) House,Disco and Funk are all played,and are part of the Genre commonly referred to as Modern Soul. Well it must be a very wide genre, where as I said in an earlier post, I have no objection to the odd hour of what I personally consider to be modern, i.e. 70s/ early 80s danceable soul, but when it comes down to electronic house or funk music I think that is something quite different. To my knowledge I have not heard House or Funk played at any of the across the board nights or modern rooms that I have been in although I may of missed it cos I don't tend to spend more than an hour in there at any one time, but this is only my personal experience.

This may seem very sad to most, but I have never heard Soul Sam Djing and I probably wouldn't pay that much attention to what he was playing. Why does everyone seem to want to have open season on peole who prefer 60s soul and keep trying to hammer the point home.....it doesn't do it for me in the same way 60s does, niave, blinkered I may be to some of you but heh its just the way I am . I can't be as totally blinkered to more modern, soul as some of you think as I class "Footsteps" Womack & Womack one of my my favorite tracks of all time, but still not sure I would want to hear it played out apart from perhaps in a modern room.
