Hello friends
I’m looking for some recommendations of artists that I could discover whose productions are in the same style/vibe as artists like Earth n Days, Cassimm…
I really love this style of House Music, with a very groovy bassline and a drum rhythm that gives the sensation of fast BPM.
As I know that among you there are some who have a broad musical culture, any suggestions will be appreciated
Kevin McKay is the one who immediately springs to mind.
This is how I normally approach it, check out the artists ‘DJ Top 10s’ page on Traxsource. Then you can see other tracks they recommend which you would imagine match their style.
Thanks Stu
I will check !
I have already found Zsak who has a style quite close to Earth n Days, I really like his productions too
Ive been off it for a while now due to not having any house gigs, but that type of style was exactly what I was into. Filta and Ben Sims are 2 more that I know I liked for that driven groovy beat stuff.
Ill check Zsak out when im having a browse later Gaian.
In fact, it’s not surprising that Zsak is very close to Earth n Days’ style, as I’ve just realised that he’s actually one of the two members. Zsak is the pseudonym he uses for his solo productions.
Hahaha that’ll make sense 
I am more than sure that our @djliquidice is a mine of knowledge on reference artists in the same style and should have some wise recommendations 
@STU-C Indeed Traxsources and the playlists of the aforementioned artists are full of nuggets.
I think I should definitely spend a lot more time listening to these playlists on traxsource to make some great finds.
I find the whole Jackin House section quite good for finding some too, you have to wade through a lot of rubbish but they are in there.
I’ll do a SQL query against one of my Funky, Jackin & Disco house purchases & i’ll post a list of =)
sadly, i find the same thing w/ record pools.
But, on the positive side, it’s great that there are so many artists producing XD
The question I’m asking myself is how do artists like Kevin Mckay, Lissat, crazibiza, Ghostbusterz and so many others manage to obtain copyright for tracks that could be described as remixes/redrums of the original works, since they sometimes take over the entire original stems. It’s not even sampling here, it’s downright complete vocal/instrument stems on which a big bassline has been added, along with a few effects and drums that sound contemporary.
You’re not going to tell me that they’ve all obtained the rights to all the disco/funk/pop/80s music they cover. Especially in the context of a clearly commercial use, since they then sell the tracks.
Or the solution I see is that they produce and publish without worrying about rights and they credit the owner of the original work on publication, and a commission on sales goes directly to the credited artist.
It seems like anyone can release a remix of anything these days because there are so many artists and producers covering the same tracks, especially in funky house/Jackin House/Nu disco.
How does this work ?
Thanks in advance for this contribution! I was sure you were the right man for the job 
I think people sometimes just roll the dice. 
That’s a lot of people rolling the dice successfully
Kevin Mackay has been around for about 30yrs and is a bit of an underground legend by all accounts. He has his own record label so I’m sure he has just agreed royalties with the OG artist or label?
His Donna Summer edit I used to hammer at my old house gig
I wrote some quick and dirty code for my recent traxsource purchase @Gaian. Paste the below code in a Chrome dev JS Console and it will generate the below table.
var result = "| Song | Artist | Label |\n";
result += "|--- | --- | ---|\n";
document.querySelectorAll('.trk-row ').forEach(function(row) {
if (row.className.match('hdr')) {
return;
}
var anchors = row.querySelectorAll('a');
var song = `[${anchors[0].textContent}](${anchors[0].href})`;
var artist = `[${anchors[1].textContent}](${anchors[1].href})`;
var label = `[${anchors[2].textContent}](${anchors[2].href}]`;
result += `|${title}|${artist}|${label}|\n`
});
console.log(result);
The table is too large so I’ll break it up into two parts / two posts.
PART 1
Part 2
