Where to start? What are the essentials? I know a couple of remixes, some of the stuff with Mark Fell and that's about it.

I don't fight, I run away
there's a Comatonse (Terre's label) bandcamp now, so you can listen to some things here:
https://comatonse.bandcamp.com/
try Soil, Die Roboter Rubato and Love For Sale as a mixture of ambient type things

there are also clips at the Comatonse site:
http://comatonse.com/soundfiles/index.html

for longform try: Soullessness and Deproduction
for deep house: Midtown 120 Blues

for youtube videos you need be quick because Terre has them taken down periodically
for more in DJ Sprinkles deep house style, Queerifications & Ruins is up at the moment:


for other forms of dance music, you might check G.R.R.L., though I can't find a link to that right now

the deep house is probably my favourite stuff. I could listen to that for hours :)

Germans are always dressing up in African American drag. Distasteful. Cut and paste soul.

Hush Now.

Sprinkles is American and djed in the NYC gay and drag scene from the 80s onwards. She's pretty much as credible as it gets.

Sounds German to me. Also the music is dreary and interminable. Like being stuck in a lift and the Muzak looping on forever

I mean if you're gonna skim through it at 10seconds per track you're not gonna get it. She's all about that long form slow release pill packet. It's music that rewards patience. It's not about bangers.

I've given it a go a few times over the years. Just button pushing for Pavlov's conditioned dogs. Here's a black preacher giving it some. Soulful. Etc etc etc. For the mugs.

People are easily fooled. And more than that they want more of the same. even when it's ersatz and rote.

They want to feel 'soulful' they want to feel plugged in to the big warm African American soul machine of the olden days. They want to pretend that's still possible. House is a feeling.

But we need to take a stand against this sort of thing. It's grim. Disgusting fetishising of a rotting corpse
