The original article was written by Phil Cheeseman for DJ Magazine, and can also be found online at hyperreal . We've broken up the article into its logical sections, but left it untouched otherwise. It's been ten years since the first identifiably house tracks were put on to vinyl, ten years which have changed the technology behind the electronic music revolution beyond recognition but left the basic structure of house intact. It's seven years since it was being said house couldn't last, that it was just hi-NRG, a fast blast that would wither as quickly as it had started. But then the music reinvented itself, and then again and again until it gradually dawned on people that house wasn't just another phase of club culture, it was club culture, the continuing future of dance music.
People like to dance to house.
