French still top for House
The term House music is such as generic term for a genre of dance music, and is probably better described from the geographical origins of the genre. If you take classic house which is born out of the clubs of Chicago and New York or Acid house which was generated from the raving period within the UK, mainly London and the illegal raves around the M25.
But what is clear to me, especially thought out the end of the 1990’s to the end of the 2000’s that the French have the most unique sound and loyal following of house music. Daft Punk is the perfect examples of the French music sense and they have kindly handed the baton over to Justice to continue the French reign over the House sense.
But how long can this last for. There has been a lot of chatter about the Parisian authorities creating restrictions on noise levels at unsocialable times making it harder for the classic French house music club to exist.
