I won't pretend to know what house music is as I don't. I mean I do play music when in my house so perhaps I should know better.
Saw Avicii mentioned. The album 'True' is wonderful, helped me get through late 2013 while Puncture Bear mentioned Storm Queen's hit which I heard so much of at the time. 🤣🤣 Good good.
I'm not sure who this was in reference to - seems to be me - I did point out though myself that I was aware a lot of the tracks I listed were more pop/dance as opposed to house.
Well, it was actually in reference to WEATlauncher.
No, of course skrillex isn't house music. It's EDM/dubstep. But he makes nicer beats than Avicii or any dutch dj that WEATlauncher brought up (and he's more original in his style). But how do you come up with skrillex anyway?
The problem here is how people are interpreting what constitutes 'house music'.
Satiemaniac is absolutely right in so far as the 'original' Chicago house music of Knuckles, Levan et al go. For an 80s child like me there was always something wildly sexy about tracks like French Kiss - most of the modern stuff that has been mentioned are pale, euro-pop comparisons which bar the beat strip everything away from what was so exciting about the genre in the first place.
You've also go to be careful how you catagorise Daft Punk - personally Homework is the album that fits most neatly into the house genre (check out the track Teachers, where Lil Louis and a number of other house innovators are mentioned, along with the likes of Joey Beltram (Techno), George Clinton (Funk) and so on). The closest to house DP get would be Bangalter's solo stuff on Roule Records - Trax On Da Rocks, Club Soda, etc. Also worth checking out Alan Braxe and early Cassius if you like that sort of thing. Oh, and this piece of genius:
Some of the acts mentioned this far are so far from house it's ridiculous, however a lot of this has to do with the OPs original list of tracks. Could Josh Wink's Higher States Of Consciousness be classed as house? Acid house, yes. Chicago house? No.
Jack to the sound of the underground, friends. This chart based bollocks is for Ibiza piss heads and darlings on Charlie.
Genre interpretation is a massive problem - there's too many and is now leading us off on a tangent which is not helping the guy who asked for recommendations.
Surely just use the list he gave us at the start as the measure as to what to recommend the kid?

BTW - JoD's pick of Ricardo Villalobos... Genius record.
Well said.
Though dp's discovery and H.A.A. are still house, but it's mixed with a lot of other stuff, but it's certainly still made with the house formula. But I understand that those albums don't fit in the regular house genre.
