You mean that he originally put it out as a KDJ track in 1999?

I voted for "At Night", and probably would have voted for "Lady" if I'd seen it - there's a bunch of 99-00 stuff which I think will slip between the two decade-in-dance polls. There's some frankendance/Modular/indieclash stuff I certainly danced to last decade (begrudgingly or not), but it didn't seem to fit. Not sure what kind of catchment something like Kavinsky would fall under.
re: Rex the Dog, he had a fairly much flawless run for a little while - that dub of Depeche Mode's "Photographic" (and the uh associated "Since U Been Gahan" via DJ Earworm) was way better than it needed to be.

Been listening to a lot of these entries this week. Some I like well enough, many I must admit I find a bit of a snooze. That Still Going track is the epitome of snooze in my book - much duller than Spaghetti Circus. Other tracks I can't stand because they've been used in one too many TV adverts or DVD menus etc, although that's no fault of the track itself. I didn't really see what was so impressive about I Feel Space personally. I'd heard it a few times before and, well it's a nice little tune but it didn't blow my mind or anything. Oh well, sorry for the negativeness. There's plenty of stuff here that I do like too.

this reminds me of that month a year or two ago when i had to bail on two separate weddings of close friends because i was broke. three months later i had more than enough money to travel abroad but they'd already got married and i'd missed it

I agree with Matt that a lot of this list feels like it's tracking personal history - and in particular ILX history - in a way that the 90s list is unlikely to.
Funny to think that rolling dance music threads only started in 2004. I looked to see what threads we first talked about "At Night" in and it was splayed across all sorts of threads. I like to think that's a tune that would gotten a big ILX crossover if we had had the rolling/polling infrastructure we have now.

Just want to point out that Daft Punk are at #10 rather than #1, it's the layout of the page that's a bit odd. #1 is 'I Feel Space'.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 4 September 2012 10:42 (eleven years ago) link
Why ARE they laid out like that anyway?
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 4 September 2012 10:44 (eleven years ago) link
I remember there was a rolling dancehall thread in 2003 that got a lot of action.
What I think ignited the dance threads in 2004 (in addition to you moving to London and starting to rave in earnest) was the sense of everything converging that year. I think arguably the "Kinda New" remix was the moment in this regard.
― Tim F, Tuesday, 4 September 2012 10:44 (eleven years ago) link
xp yeah i know, if i'd thought daft punk were number one i would have been much more displeased
and yet "kinda new" is absent HMMMMMMMM
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 4 September 2012 10:47 (eleven years ago) link
an ilx search i just did suggests that the rolling threads all started in 2004 -- but i guess there were threads that were rolling before they became "rolling threads"
Matt, i think the layout is like that because that's how tumblr automatically lays out images, with the first one full-size and the rest stacked. So if the tumblr-creater had put them in 1-10 rather than 10-1, Lindstrom would be biggest.
i like the way it's come out because one more time might not be the best but it is still BIGGEST

That dancehall thread was amazing - one of the first "I'm living in a golden age of music" moments via ILx. Lex, I wish you'd voted; I probably wouldn't have been the only vote for "I Love Asphalt"! I do wonder if Tiefschwarz & the Pearson Freeform Five remix were victims of the frankendance that followed in their wake and were unjustly tarred w/the same brush.
― etc, Tuesday, 4 September 2012 13:09 (eleven years ago) link
Tumblr wouldn't let me just stack them up evenly for whatever reason. I use Chrome, and the way they're set up you can click on the big one and it will bring up just the picture and you can just arrow through them in order. Clearly that isn't working for everybody.

Both Dissensus and ILX have informed my dance tastes, but the Dissensus I used to be interested in hasn't existed for a long while.
