you and dance music.

tinyman  said about 5 years ago  or at  11:25AM on Wednesday, November 1 2006 in music

how are you and dance music getting along?

do you go to dance music parties and dance till you can't stay upright?

do you have a few mixed cds?

or do you think techno just isn't music?

can't tell the difference between trance and drum'n bass?

think dance music is the dumbest thing ever?

personally, i'd say my music collection is 70% electronic, 30% rock.

great.

yes.

no, it's some of the most vital music created in the last couple of decades.

very easy to tell.

a good proportion of it is smarter than the people who deride it.

i dont think dance music makes me wanna dance

blake3030  said about 5 years ago:

I've been listening to lots of dancey type stuff.

i'm not into long repetitve stuff though.

I like people that use the sounds of dance music to create catchy 'songs'. I like songs. I like structure.

Lo-Fi Fnk, Muscles, The Junior Boys, The Knife, etc. These bands are doing it well.

well i like to dance.........................................50s and 60s r & b and 1970s disco mainly.


anonymous  said about 5 years ago:

probably should've titled the thread "you and electronic music"

hmmm....


tinyman  said about 5 years ago:

maybe, but i was also hoping for people to come out of the closet not just with songs that kidda were electronic in nature (kraftwerk, the knife), but also the more hardcore, ish-ish-ish-ish-ker-DOOF-DOOF-DOOF-DOOF-ekDOOF-DOOF-DOOF-ekDOOF-DOOF-DOOF- kinda music as well

i still play Leftfield, Prodigy and Underworld but they are all pretty dated by now.

KOMPAKT 4eva!!!

but also the more hardcore, ish-ish-ish-ish-ker-DOOF-DOOF-DOOF-DOOF-ekDOOF-DOOF-DOOF-ekDOOF-DOOF-DOOF- kinda music as well


yeah..... not keen.

I used to like drum n bass back around 2000/2001.... but it all jsut gets too samey. Could never listen to it for more than 30 mins.


tinyman  said about 5 years ago:

to my ears, Underworld is timeless. have you got into the Riverrun series?


tinyman  said about 5 years ago:

and in drum'n bass, i love downloading the Hospital Records podcast because the guy loves digging up some leftfield, original drum'n bass. some melodic stuff too.


Godzilla  said about 5 years ago:

I have the Everything Everything live album, a 7" single of Underneath the radar, and about 5 versions of Born Slippy on different compilations


PaulsGrandfather  said about 5 years ago:

how are you and dance music getting along? Not very well, I used all the hott water and now he's pissed.

do you go to dance music parties and dance till you can't stay upright? Nope.

do you have a few mixed cds? I have plenty of mixcds, none of them dance.

or do you think techno just isn't music? Techno is not music. It is the sound of Satan farting.

can't tell the difference between trance and drum'n bass? One's shit and annoying and one's shit and boring?

think dance music is the dumbest thing ever? Not ever. I mean, asbestos was pretty dumb.


tinyman  said about 5 years ago:

on the official underworld website, www.underworldlive.com , there's been a series of 5pound downloads called Riverrun where they've got half hour of new material mixed together in each one. Lovely Broken Thing is more the typcial underworld of old, the other downloads sees them pushing their more experimental, down tempo areas. look around that website and you may also find a massive, 3 hour mp3 of a fantastic radio jam they did.


KevinArnold  said about 5 years ago:

I am forced to going to dance clubs with mates because thats what they like.

To me there's good and there's bad. The bad is rotten the good is well good.

I will get up and dance but ply me with alcohol and i'l dance to a guy playign a piano accordion.

I think just about any musiccal form is valid and enjoyable.


blake3030  said about 5 years ago:

You are your mates' bitch, Kev.


KevinArnold  said about 5 years ago:

Correct.


triptolemus  said about 5 years ago:

Dance music is GREAT! How else could talentless hack computer geeks like myself break into the "music" industry?

I'm sure there's good dance music, but I've never been much of a dancer & I don't take nearly enough pills to really enjoy it.

Call me old fashioned, but I like hearing music played by people, on instruments...not programmed into a computer. It's not just dance music though...I have issues with heaps of "bands" lately for the same reason... ie. They can't actually play their instruments very well. When I was a lad...you learned how to play FIRST.

I like old skool rave hardcore set. prime eg. dj easygroove at fantasia '92

I only like breakcore at specially designated raves. also still waiting for sXe breakcore movement

I think ''lower state of consciousness'' by zzt and ''papua new guinea'' by fsol would be in my top 20 tracks of all-time (dance music songs ye)

other dance music =

egyptian lover
'alcachofa'-era villalobos
basic channel
old dubstep, when it actaully had a ''step'' to it (digital mystikz)
