Everyone always goes on about hoovers in hard house, but I have never heard one, what am I listening for?

If you listen to a lot of hard house then you've probably heard one!

 

It's not a sample of a real hoover or anything. I think there's an old analogue synth that used to make the definitive "hoover" sound. Unfortunately, about 20,000 unimaginitive hard house producers managed to taint the entire genre by sampling exactly the same sound in all their tunes!

 

Umm sorry, I can't think of a way to describe the sound. I'd give you an example of a tune, but I've sold / given away / destroyed all my old records which had the faintest sniff of a hoover in them!!

 

My other hard house pet hate - that samey cliched offbeat bassline. BOM-Dmm BOM-Dmm BOM-Dmm BOM-Dmm... All bloody night. Use some imagination hard house producers!

blink- you know "are you all ready" by tony de vit, well that's one of the all time classic hoover "choons"....

 

and liquideyes- dysons at ten paces! fair point though, a lot of the time it's difficult to see the originality in some hh tunes.

hoovers are fuking mental WOWWWWWWWW

lol andy farley at SS!!!!!!!

 

erm cant descrive em but come out with us and ill point hoovers out to u all the time, check out hoovers and horns (older tune)

my favourite hoover tune (and only one i really like for that matter) has to be stimulant Dj's - Hoovertime, i still love it to this day

Actually, one of the first tunes to feature a hoover, and pehaps the best example is;

 

Human Resource - Dominator

U ever listened to Ingo - Ready for Dis and bk and fergie - hoovers and horns?? Theyre quite hoovery imo!!

blink - on that cd i gave u theres a tune called "captain tinrib & karim - i've got ya"

 

it features a sped up vocal sample saying (u'd probably worked it out already) "iiiiiiii'vvve GOT YA!"

 

ne way - that sound that keeps looping over and over duing the breakdown is a hoover

I will drag it out in a while cheers matey

Dont think ur stupid m8...

 

At first i thought hoovers and hardhouse had sumin to do with the amount of drugs people took

 

"Your a hoover"

 

Like the amount they snorted was like a hoover.......

 

I get it now tho!

Joey Beltram - Mentasm.... has a classic sounding hoover in it, the same hoover but played faster can b heard in the TDV tune 'Are you all ready' i think.......
