RESULTS (of the very nebulously defined) 110 ELECTRONIC DANCE TRACKS of the 00s

I don't think I know the original mix but that guitar lick in DJ Koze's mix of "minimal" is so funked up yet supple and mirage-like

Oh damn "deck the house" rocks. Just so fun. Akufen live was one of the funnest, sweatiest shows I've been to.

ronan otm

but when did he turn into eire pipe cox

I love when akufen throws down those bluesy/honkytonk harmonica "micro"samples on his deck the house type stuff. Just adds this awesome bit of swing and character.

It's on the Muzik Best of 2002 CD, it sounds like Lemon Jelly except crapper.

loool

Is superb post-Mille Plateaux type stuff by akufen. highly recommended. Not at all like Deck the house.

56. Fischerspooner - Emerge (210 points, 9 votes)

"Emerge" is sort of the modern-day "Sugar, Sugar" yes.

Electroclash is fucking great! Fischerspooner's "Emerge" is electroclash, right?
― Mr. Snrub, Friday, May 14, 2004

55, not 56. I've been really screwing up the numbers today.

And I just realized that the 'emerge' version I have had on my ipod all this years isn't the actual single. Apparently I was only acquainted with the DFA remix after all.

US video link: http://youtu.be/M4uSTdJo4zk

DFA version the one I latched onto.

I saw Akufen walk in to talk to people around the end of mutek this year! Fond memories of a dj set I saw him do at night, outside, near a lake years ago.

I love the original Emerge. Super sparse and perfect. Haven't listened to the album in forever but remember it being really good.

I liked the second album, too. Judge me.

second album was better than the first, even if it had no 'emerge' holding it up

I regret not voting but am happy to see so much stuff I would've voted for making the cut. I'm a little sad that "Transition" didn't make it higher; that's a really "big" song for me.

xp, dang I need to check the second one out I guess. Don't remember hearing much about it, at the time.

I want the rubicon DVD so bad. Not for the video really, just to have Rubicon ON DVD

yeah i really feel like transition should be much higher. I don't remember seeing it in the submissions (i thought it was like 98 or something or i would have voted for it top 10) does anyone know if it was added later in the post voting period, or i just missed it?

I think I nommed it and I nommed fairly early from memory.

oh well, good nom! such a classic.

I think I like Bitches Brew more than 'Fizheuer Zieheuer', it also has some horns on it.
― Omar (Omar), Thursday, November 23, 2006

so, the promos of 'fizheuer zieheuer' have dropped and it's totally insane - i can't stop laughing whilst listening to it. it definitely lives up to the hype. a parping, dubbed out, industrial klanking balkan freak out. i've no idea how long it is but i felt it could have gone on a wee bit longer. :)
― stirmonster (stirmonster), Friday, October 6, 2006

Fizheuer's context is firmly early hours; that's when Villalobos generally DJs (even in London he never starts before 5); the concept of dancefloor friendliness changes the later the hour, but at the same time it's not like you could ever rock a party with Duso.

And that's a 54 not a 56 again.

Love Fizheuer Zieheuer, love the way the drums drop in and out of time. Perfect for any occasion.

by time I mean sync

Brutalga Square I could never get that into. Koze Comes Around got a lot of love but I wasn't able to warm up to it so much.

Probably needs to be heard in the proper environment/context

52. Antena - Camino del Sol (Joakim remix) (217 points, 7 votes, 1 first place vote)
Year: 2006

Antena's "Camina Del Sol (Joakim Mix)" is just too big for words - it's like, trance revivalism meets Ame meets Carl Craig meets, I dunno, just skyscraping largesse. It's almost too big: the whole thing feels incredibly deliberate. But it would be pretty astonishing on the dancefloor.
― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Sunday, October 1, 2006

Was the #1 vote you Tim?

I went to Las Vegas once and I swear one of the best moments I had there was hearing 'camino del sol' on a club. I don't know if that makes my Vegas trip lame or awesome.

That said I prefer the original one since I knew it first and I have more memories attached to it but the Joakim mix is huge.

Damn I need to hear that. The original is one of my favorite songs ever.

joakim himself dropped 'camino del sol' remix when i saw him once. it was huuuuuuuge. as is he!

Shit, those handclaps on Life's a Beach. Best band since Junior Boys. Best band since the Shangri-Las for fucks sake.

Oops actual 51 Track is LCD Soundsystem's Losing my Edge and this is 50.

Too many good quotes on that LCD song. Care to dig some for me while I arrange the image?

im fine w/skipping lcd soundsystem tbh

Despite adoring both "Life's a Beach" and "Losing My Edge", I didn't vote for either for fear that people would get angry with some interloper indie-ing up the proceedings.

Alright here we go again:

The lyrics are funny, the beat isn't as good as I was hoping, and it goes on a couple of minutes too long. But I like it.

I played this for some record collector pals once and one of the more rockisty said something along the lines of "yeah this is pretty funny but it's more of a techno hipster thing, he's not referencing like, the sonics" right before "THE SONICS....THE SONICS...THE SONICS." A+, James Murphy.

I fucked up the Studio thing twice. I think that's my alarm call telling me to sleep. Until tomorrow then! Hope you're enjoying the countdown.

Thanks for all the effort you've put in Moka! This is great

^^^agreed, though listening to so many jamz late at night is not conducive to me sleeping

these are gooxd picks but transition was a top 10 for me too, surprised it ended so low

thanks again, moka!

stuff i loved today:

69. Crazy Cousinz - Inflation [flute @ 1:19 hooked me]
61. Gui Boratto - Beautiful Life [suppose this seems corny to many? it is, but so am i]
60. Matias Aguayo - Minimal (Dj Koze remix)
59. Sebastien Tellier - La Ritournelle [not big on the vocals, but they're a blip, love everything else]
