Pots and pans falling down a staircase?

You should take your own advice and not present your opinion as fact.

I wouldn't try to have a conversation about music with anyone from Miami, most pretentious place in the world.
(So much so that you need guidelines for how to critique music)

Chaseteter – read the article again amigo – you'll find that it does infact mention deep house. Read the part regarding tempos within house and it states that usually the slower side of house leans towards the deeper side of things . . . and yes (wink wink nudge nudge) Scuddy Scouse House !!!
I'm sorry but that is one form of dance music that irritates me, there are some genuine producers in the scouse scene that are good at what they do – but for the most part its all about being unimaginative and lazy, and given I have been actively involved in producing various styles of dance music (including Scouse) i feel my opinion is a valid one. The sooner Scouse fades into oblivion the better. I have several friends who are Scouse Dj's/Producers they know my feelings on this and actually agree that it is HAS to a certain degree tarnished the reputation on dance music here in the UK – Anyhoo, great article – I kinda get carried away whenever I see Scouse comments.
Did'nt mean to offend anyone – PEACE !!!!

Wow. Somehow deep house didn't get a mention. Definitely one of the cornerstones of house music. Its cool though, scouse house made it in there lol.

Great piece! I don't know if you can edit it, but it would make this even better if you can add examples of artists that fall into each category.
