The contexts from which the Deep House sound emerged are forgotten: sexual and gender crises, transgendered sex work, black market hormones, drug and alcohol addiction, loneliness, racism, HIV, ACT-UP, Thompkins Sq. In the words of Sylvester: reality was less 'everybody is a star,’ and more 'I who have nothing.’Twenty years later, major distribution gives us Classic House, the same way soundtracks in Vietnam war films gave us Classic Rock. The majority of DJ’s - DJ’s like myself - were nobody’s in nowhere clubs: unheard and unpaid. Most Europeans still think 'Deep House’ means shitty, high energy vocal house.So what was the New York house sound? House wasn’t so much a sound as a situation. Besides, New York Deep House may have started out as minimal, mid-tempo instrumentals, but when distributors began demanding easy selling vocal tracks, even the label 'Strictly Rhythm’ betrayed the promise of it’s own name by churning out strictly vocal after strictly vocal. As for the sounds of New York dance floors themselves, today’s house classics might have gotten worked into a set once in a while, but the majority of music at every club was major label vocal shit.
House is hyper-specific: East Jersey, Loisaida, West Village, Brooklyn - places that conjure specific beats and sounds. After all, it’s that larger context that created the house movement and brought you here. I shit you not.)Let’s keep sight of the things you’re trying to momentarily escape from.
I think of one time in New York when they wouldn’t let me into the Loft, and I could hear they were actually playing one of my records on the dance floor at that very moment. House isn’t so much a sound as a situation.There must be a hundred records with voice-overs asking, 'What is house?’ The answer is always some greeting card bullshit about 'life, love, happiiness….’ The House Nation likes to pretend clubs are an oasis from suffering, but suffering is in here with us. There are no plans for a vinyl edition because the bass spatialization effects that give many of these recordings their sonic character are incompatible with vinyl mastering techniques. The audio on the 2014 CD is identical to the 2008 first edition and subsequent represses on Mule Musiq. This is the rhythm of empty midtown dancefloors resonating with the difficulties of transgendered sex work, black market hormones, drug & alcohol addiction, racism, gender & sexual crises, unemployment, and censorship. While the world celebrates the revial of New York House Music, constructing utopian fictions about the genre as it goes along, DJ Sprinkles retreats deep into the bowels of house.
