well I feel dumb, ok sent
― JacobSanders, Friday, 1 June 2012 16:07 (twelve years ago) link
I have a long list, so just listening to some old stuff and whittling it down. Should meet the deadline, but with fairly random ordering ...
― Citizen Smith (Jamie T Smith), Friday, 1 June 2012 16:15 (twelve years ago) link
thanks jacob, got your ballot
don't worry too much about the ordering, i'm going to go through manually and knock all of the kompakt tracks and other indie bs down ten or so places

andrew m i apologize i put you down as andy mOh the confusion. I didn't realise there was another andrew when I chose my name. You get mine as well yeah?
― Not The Other One (Mr Andy M), Friday, 1 June 2012 16:19 (twelve years ago) link
I don't think my ballot is very indie, but it is kompakt heavy. It's what songs I enjoyed playing in clubs, and a few recent songs that make me wish I djed still.
― JacobSanders, Friday, 1 June 2012 16:22 (twelve years ago) link

― the late great, Friday, 1 June 2012 16:26 (twelve years ago) link
I know I didn't join in the nominations so can't complain, but would have voted for Shake Your Body Down, Where's Jason K, maybe Trus'me
Mind you I have whittled to 70 and struggling a bit now anyway.

Ah - I would have nominated that, but I couldn't remember what it was called or who it was by

If this isn't top ten there is no justice, blasting it out at the moment:

I've voted. By the way I hope the Cosmos tune I voted for is the original long version and not the hastily cobbled together vocal atrocity.
― Matt DC, Saturday, 2 June 2012 11:56 (twelve years ago) link
i think that goes without saying. i hope it does as i threw it a vote too, more for the memories than anything.

I saw a voigt&voigt in there somewhere I'm sure.
― Chewshabadoo, Saturday, 2 June 2012 22:01 (twelve years ago) link
one of the most interesting things about this poll for me is (my perceived) notion that EDM tracks are probably among the least "timeless" of genre tunes because it's so given to quick trends and that ceaseless thirst for The Next Big Thing. could be my relative lack of knowledge of 'the scene' though.
― Fas Ro Duh (Gukbe), Sunday, 3 June 2012 00:27 (twelve years ago) link
I would say that if anything the opposite is the case, in particular the format of the DJ mix allows for a constant reintegration of "the classics" into contemporary contexts.
― Tim F, Sunday, 3 June 2012 00:43 (twelve years ago) link
But doesn't that imply that those "classics" have fallen away a bit? Like there needs to be some time away for certain styles to come back and then you recontextualize the classics? Idk I think I view things kind of askew. I was reading an interview with Abrantee where talks about how UK Funky was the thing but then everyone was looking for something fresh and now people are moving to Afrobeats. To what extent does the rise of Afrobeats require the demise of UK Funky?
I'll cop to not really knowing what I'm talking about though. I spent a lot of time at indie discos (lol) and Optimo (which was always engaging with the past and the present) so it felt like a lot of other clubs were very much centred on The Now music-wise in comparison.
― Fas Ro Duh (Gukbe), Sunday, 3 June 2012 01:00 (twelve years ago) link
Like there needs to be some time away for certain styles to come back and then you recontextualize the classics?
This is true of everything everywhere though - it's not like Optimo played lots of songs from 5 years ago.
To the extent that indie discos are/were any different I think this is only because so few songs each year made it into the indie disco canon; my experience of going out to indie discos was that you heard the same songs every week forever because the DJs had so few options. OTOH that was circa 2000 and pre the New Rock Revolution so maybe things changed.
Certainly there are some dance scenes that are more current-focused and ignore the past more than others, but I think if we're going to paint in broad brushstrokes then I would say that dance music pays more attention rather than less to the canonisation of old classics.
To what extent does the rise of Afrobeats require the demise of UK Funky?
Broadly speaking this is correct but of course the very "demise" of UK Funky also has the effect of hardening perception of what its anthems were. By virtue of how they operate clubbing-based scenes have a more collectivist notion of what characterises the sound of a particular era than you might find in, say, rock scenes.
― Tim F, Sunday, 3 June 2012 01:21 (twelve years ago) link
That was, I suppose, what I was getting at. As I scrolled through the 1,000+ noms here, I could only pick a handful that I might consider to be canonised, which is why I'm really interested to see what people have landed on and to what extent there's a consensus.
― Fas Ro Duh (Gukbe), Sunday, 3 June 2012 01:47 (twelve years ago) link
the demise of funky = the moment when i put ill blu & dj traxman on my list
― the late great, Sunday, 3 June 2012 01:56 (twelve years ago) link
ime it was always "try out new band early on" but then the last hour or two would always be "Another Girl, Another Planet" or x Smiths song etc. There seemed to be a real trepidation when everyone's on the floor to try out something too new. Club DJs, otoh, are always reaching for the newest thing, and you might "Ragysh" or whatever (haven't been dancing in a while as you can probably tell) a lot over the course of a few months and then it disappears.
