Wish #4: Lucky Paul “Thought We Were Alone” (Money vs. Gold Remix) & a new sound of House 

This year I got back into house music - thanks to the discovery of the new house sound of the Wolf + Lamb, Soul-Clap, Visionquest, Benoit + Sergio, and No Regular Play crew.  

What’s cool about it is that it’s kind of like post-house-music house music.  House used to be so genre driven, a la “tech-house” or “deep house” or whatever.  It got bogged down in its own genre rules and thereby got boring.  But the beauty of this new sound is the subtlety and mashing-up of so many different influences - hip hop, R&B, techno, disco.  It’s slowed down, song-oriented, and live performance driven.  You forget you’re actually listening to “House Music”.
