<p>Recently, I was asked to provide my knowledge on witch house (and other Internet-sprung music genres) for an interview. When I reflected on the whole thing, I started to remember how neat it all was back in the days, before it became clouded with self-awareness and trendiness. I started to think about how it got re-re-re-appropriated, and how it could mean stuff like the below, and stuff like <a href="https://soundcloud.com/witchhousecom/sets/nike7up" target="_blank">Nike7up</a> or this essential <a href="https://soundcloud.com/mindslime/alicia-keys-unthinkable" target="_blank">Alicia Keys remix</a>. <a href="http://betterthansexmusic.blogspot.de/2009/12/black-celebration.html?zx=582594731589e021" target="_blank">This 2009 compilation from back then</a> (made by myself, mostly from Youtube and Myspace rips) reflects the sub-genre’s eclecticism.</p><p>It’s interesting to look back and see what was. Perhaps this comp is not all “proper” witch house; a lot of it is drone, folk or post-punk-related, but at the time it was a more open idea—in any case, I liked the idea of new music with a central theme evocative of magick or the occult. It’s all good stuff, whatever you want to call it.</p><p><a href="http://www19.zippyshare.com/v/11256767/file.html" target="_blank">Download the entire thing here</a>!</p><div>
