So what'll it be, my house or your house?  OK, my house this time … even though rooting through my house tracks isn't usually where I find myself these days ... A friend (the same friend, in fact, that introduced me to House music) once scoffed at the idea of listening to House music as radio -- if you weren't dancing your a$$ off, high, hot and sweaty, with music loud enough to kill plant life, then House shouldn't be playing.  As I started thinking about what I do as radio, I moved away from House toward downtempo.
 
But I just fell in love with my house tracks all over again, thanks to the Giant Step DJ promo service -- they came through with the new Scott Hardkiss joint "Come On, Come On" featuring vocals by Lisa Shaw … there was no way to try and force that into a downtempo box, and so I found myself diggin' down, looking for house-inflected supporting tracks … and oh, they just jumped into my hand:  Paloma, Groove Armada, Bitter:Sweet remixed by Tom Middleton, a Stanton Warriors gutter funk remix of The Beginerz' monumentally raw groove "Reckless Girl", followed by a mash-up of my queen Tracey Thorn singing "Wrong" vs. Sandy Rivera's "Come Into My Room (Soul Vision "The Take It Back" Mix)" courtesy of Ben Watt's first Lazy Dog double-disc … released in 2000, this is the oldest tune on the set and still one of my favorite house tracks ever ...
 
There's more booty movers from lesser-knowns to round out this hour of Reckless Funk, including some fiery funk from the Tiny Trendies (the who?  Yep, that's what I said, too -- but you can look 'em up on Discogs.)  And after the anthemic lift of "Come On Come On", a Younger Brother guitar track that resolves the whole hour of energy into a wash of emotion … (Thanks to Monkey Do for putting me on to this group … )
