And he fails to mention New Order anywhere in the entire article? Compares LCD Soundsystem to PJ Harvey & Pavement? I'm sure people have burned in hell for less.

I thought the article was much better than most of the articles on this topic have been, though as per usual at times the "signs of life" can seem to take on a disproportionate level of importance. The Tiefschwarz mention is alright because Tiefschwarz are flagbearers for what is currently the biggest sound in dance music, but I would have considered "breakcore" to be marginal at best. Actually I'm glad that he grouped Tiefschwarz and LCD Soundsystem together because I think it's useful to compare the two groups' similarities and differences.
Although had he actually talked about electroclash it might have been pertinent to note (and this is where Ronan's point comes in) how Tiefschwarz take the electro framework and reinvest it with a ravey actual-dance-music energy (hence electroclash having saved dance music while still being "over" - it's like a "vanishing mediator", or is that vanishing antithesis?).

Ronan totally OTM.
That's why this
In fact, some North American D.J.'s and producers like Richie Hawtin have moved to Germany because the climate for electronic music is more supportive
is basically the whole story. Maybe Simon needs to move to Cologne? ;)Said it in another thread some time ago but dance here is seeing an influx of young people. And this year Dance Valley is probably going to become a three-day festival, so in rockspeak were actually getting into 1969/ the Woodstock phase. :) Now where are The Stooges?

If you're thinking about the mainstream (in the US) and why dance is not as popular (anymore), then you have to look at how the public generally tends to listen/view artists: They want a *face* something which isn't as prevalent in dance.

actually, DYOH debuted at no. 14 and went gold half a year later. Not bad at all, but the "teeming throngs" line feels a bit facetious, especially since they've released two albums since then have each done worse than that.

She's right. (Google "lenny bruce," "vaughn meader" and "kennedy" together to get a fuller explanation.)

yeah, when were prodigy and fatboy slim hip on the real dancefloors? never. its all about the singles and compilation mix albums in the REAL danceculture. the culture that brings money to the table, the 'kids'
They aren't waiting on a new Daft Punk either, they just want Dave Clarke to put out a new mix album.

In the UK in the 90s there were dance #1s coming out on a fucking conveyer belt. The big problem is that most of them were rubbish.
