![]() ![]() ![]() Blaze hearken back to the early days, before acid house or drum & bass or Goa or trip-hop or electroclash, back when house music was the only music. From post-punk new wave to early hip-hop, and from salsa and meringue to funk and soul, house music became one of the first truly integrated musical styles in the history of pop, openly embracing black, white, Hispanic and gay cultures in a positive atmosphere of communal celebration. ![]() The direct descendant of disco, it also incorporated sounds from just about every other genre active at the time. With roots stretching all the way back to Larry Levan and the legendary Paradise Garage, Blaze play a style of house that could best be described as timeless.Įven during the music’s infancy in the mid-and-late 1980s, house was very much a mongrel genre. If there is such a thing as “orthodox” house music, it can probably be found on their turntable platters. Considering the endless stream of constantly shifting generic permutations that defines modern electronic music, it might seem almost quaint to reflect on a group such as Blaze. ![]()
