House is a fast-paced videomusical crash-course in electronic dance music that transforms the early morning routine into a one-man dance party. DJ Scott Hardkiss demystifies house music genres as original house tracks are created directly from the rhythmic cutting of sound and image as one medium. Blurring the lines between a music video and documentary, the video is simultaneously entertaining and educational. House often screens together with Bassline Baseline by Nate Harrison in a program call Get To Know Your Dance Music (GTKYDM). The two videos were originally curated together by Cornelia and Holger Lund at Fluctuating Images in December of 2005. In 2007 GTKYDM was published on DVD by Raum für Projektion. "As a lesson in well done edutainment, Shalom’s "House" tracks down the different styles, production procedures and cultural habits of electronic dance music. Switching between the fast-cut videoclip aesthetic and the fact based narrative of an interview with DJ Scott Hardkiss, this videomusic documentary stands for an inspiring new genre of music related film." — Tim Tetzner, curator of Handclaps.
