Onda Sonora explains:
The somewhat strange (and Dutch) title of this mix is a reference to what our friend and respected House music aficionado Red D stated on his social network accounts a few days ago. What was obviously a rant at someone stating something foolish, was also a testimony of what’s the mainstream idea about old school House music these days. Translated the title says ‘Old House doesn’t attract people anymore Mix’ by the way. We’ve experienced some similar outings of short-sightedness ourselves. And it doesn’t seem to be a purely Belgian dumbness. When I told Joey Negro the pure Garage set he played the first time attended Southport Weekender was still a big inspiration to me he told me he couldn’t pull such a set off anywhere else. To be clear; Garage as in the original meaning aka early 90s vocal House.
As I’m someone who likes to go against the flow all this won’t keep me from playing this music I love like little else. Call it wishful thinking or gut-feeling but I believe the mainstream will get it in the not too distant future. With people like MCDE, Kink & Neville and Red D’s own We Play House recordings making some waves in the underground, some youngsters get converted and once you’re hooked there’s no way back. Logically this should lead to more and more people seeing the light. I think the kids only need to get served the good stuff to be converted. If soulless crap is the only thing you’ve heard in clubs, soulless crap will be what you’ll like.
So as antidote to that I’ll keep playing old House music in my sets and mixes. This one being no exception to that. It’s even more. It’s a mix with only early House tracks, mostly vocal ones. To point the way to more of it I’ll give you a short comment with every track explaining a few things and educating those who want a lesson. A bit like I devoured the liner notes of all those excellent BBE compilation and got myself schooled in Disco, Soul and Funk. Here we go.

PS: I bought every single of these records for the price of a WAV on traxsource or even less. And I’ve got the entire 12” for that. What about that.
