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.

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
Why ARE they laid out like that anyway?
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.

Might as well post the link to the 1990s electronic poll here, in case someone missed it:
PEOPLE OF THE NATIONS, DANCING TOGETHER! It's the 1990s TOP 100 ELECTRONIC TRACKS poll results!
― Tuomas, Monday, 17 December 2012 07:26 (eleven years ago) link
So to get over the end of the 1990s poll I am a 1/3 of the way through the 00s poll. Liking almost everything, and really liking it. Loving the range, aware there were args about what to and what not to include as material for this poll but works to the benefit of the results, meaning I have to do less work, although I'm not in the least worn out yet. From re-workings of cocktail jazz in Moodyman, Theo Parrish doing something similar yet managing to be even breezier to the outright stormy vocals from Ms Dynamite...and then there is the Kompakt crowd. And the latter has a whole micro-range in itself: Koze stretching the limits of a Mauricio Kagel like wackyness to great effect, to the Superpitcher track where the sound of droplets falling at depth placed with an irregularity that pleasingly jars the ear drum is all good in itself.
The only bad track so far is by The Knife -- vocals were weak for a while there and this is the one to single out, but then Lindstrom & christabelle vocal is cool, and Dynamite later on corrected what was an unhappy trend for a while.
The Fives is a good intro to UK Funky: love the video, all a bit DIY, and the way they stand and play and sing and that name has a whole (probably not meant) association to 50s rock n' roll. Zed Bias is the one I wanted to like the most but there's something missing there...maybe that old 2-step slickness not quite there.
I'll be making a CD (or two or several of my favourites here), this is what I have so far:

i've been exploring this thread today, great stuff. i managed to expand the Spotify playlist quite a bit:
― breastcrawl, Sunday, 23 December 2012 21:38 (eleven years ago) link
Don't have spotify but slsk and the youtube blackhole will keep me so occupied.
Loved playing these across the weekend, with about a nanoseconds' worth of fatigue. Ramdon exploration of individual ballots awaits, and the post-list discussion was fab. Will take while to work out all the strands in my head...loved discovering (artists' wise) Booka Shade, Superpitcher and Koze and finally getting down to listen to lots of Kompakt that I began explaoring at the time but never carried on with. And Luomo. That should've been no.1 except the Maclean-Paape-Luomo had a whole euphoria in melancholia thing going back-to-back that felt great to listen to. I can see Lindstrom not being as wtf there are nebulae forming across the sky as Carl Craig. Still, its democracy in action.
Couple more things: I did laugh at Burial and Daft Punk placed next to one another (chimed w/the whole ILX-Dissensus thing in the last few posts). Also surprised that there was as little 2-step as there was...maybe it was all released pre-'00? I think I almost certainly don't take to any string samples chosen (too blandly tonal or simply tonal as in the Sebastien Teller; sampling Skempton by Pantha Du Prince is much more like it and far more inspired), or the way guitars are processed in these (as in La Rock) unless aligned to a v great hook (Rubison really worked). But that's what years of listening to Harry Pussy-style devastation and post-serial strings do for you.
Afuken, Herbert, were the more abstract choices, but that never even began to work on me. The ideas weren't all that. Four Tet was boring.
― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 23 December 2012 23:12 (eleven years ago) link
There were a couple 2step tracks ("Sincere", "Re-Rewind") in the 90s poll.
― Rolling "2 chainz" draadje (The Reverend), Sunday, 23 December 2012 23:17 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah I saw that. I have a tidy basket (more than 5-7 across the two polls) of tunes from that time that I recall (and have compilations somewhere) but I'm guessing either it was late 90s or that the poll was really way more inclined to electronic and dance music.
― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 23 December 2012 23:21 (eleven years ago) link
I think I'll need to read a thread or two where you all discussed the criteria for this poll.
― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 23 December 2012 23:23 (eleven years ago) link
That's because the good Herbert records are from the 90s rather than the 00s
