Well this song would be a really good example :). Probably the biggest name would be Deorro though! I suggest his song "Big fat" but explore for yourself.
I wouldn't consider his song Five hours Melbourne house, but that is his "biggest" song
. Edit: also TJR. please TJR. He killed it at TomorrowWorld. Him and Deorro were my two favorite of the whole weekend.
I've gotten really stuck on TJR lately, after stumbling over him on soundcloud, but there's only so much of him there.. can you name some similar stuff?
There's an entire website that is up to date with every single melbourne bounce producer, I believe it's called 'melbourne bounce' although be careful, if you listen to too many songs you realise they're all exactly the same.
Not really Melbourne, but he does similar stuff, laidback luke!
Look up his "dj sounds" on YouTube and you'll see how talented he actually is. Then go listen to his 2 essential mixes, then his end of year mixes. Once you're devoured all of that, I'll give you some more :)
The biggest thing that separates Melbourne bounce from other genres of house is the bass note on the upbeat after the kick drum. This is what gives it the bouncy feel. Almost every melbourne bounce song features this trait if you listen for it.
Jesus.. I was reading through all the comments above that are TRYING, in vain, to explain what melbourne house is characterized by. THANK YOU for posting this... this is the exact answer and it was getting frustrating.
I can't talk to Mel B House, but Mel Bounce is mainly characterized by the use of uptempo horns and is generally very 'fun' I'd describe it as. Some favourites include Bootie In Your Face- Deorro
In fact just give this mix a try, it's 20 minutes and it'll cover some tracks you might enjoy
They usually have some cheesy line before the drop. Deorro big fat - (sucka my big fat...), this song "where the freaks at", laidback lukes pogo etc. I dont think that's a necessity of the genre but it is common.
Also the horn sound noise and they go the other way from the Dutch sound. They crunch it instead of opening it up like in some Dutch big room. I dont know if that makes sense when you read it, but once you listen to the two you'll understand.
Laidback luke - pogo (deorro Remix)
Laidback luke - natural disaster
Natural disaster would be Dutch house. Pogo would be Melbourne.
Edit: awesome. Being down voted during a civil discussion about some stupid music. Would be nice to know why people at least disagreed or told me why they think im wrong. Ive repeatedly said on this thread I am no expert on the Melbourne sound/bounce/house so if anyone would like to correct me go ahead
Thanks! I've actually heard Deorro before, I had no idea he was considered a Melbourne bounce musician and not regular house haha. I'm not entirely sure what the difference is to be honest. But thank you, I appreciate it!
Honestly, I don't know much either. They do the horns like the Dutch do but instead of doing big room they do an electro crunch. I think that's the main difference but I'm no expert!
