1) the vocal end of poppy microhouse (luomo-core?) is getting deep housier all the time, as is vocal broken beat.
2) it's the one dance music that goes over well w/ hipsters and proles over on the other side of the rap/dance divide (theo parrish for the hipsters, jill scott remixes for the proles)

Vladislav Delay going more R&B with the next Luomo album seems like a logical progression.

best comment ever!
i dont really like target either. i dont like all the stuff he does with pianos, and his beats wobble between "really good" and "really boring". those aim high comps are peppered with boring tunes by target on it. "they dont know", that doneao tune is a good example. its sort of ok because of his trademark accordian, but it could really easily be Another Rubbish Target tune. i dont mind riko but D double is awful. that stupid sound he makes is, well, stupid!
i think breaks are a bit of an easy target. like big beat, they are super populist and kinda naff but they are sort of compelling, in a listless way (?!). like, i was dancing to breaks at the weekend, and it was good to just sort of feel...nothing...just like beats, and bass.

yeah, that's a pretty good way of putting it - maybe no wonder j lavelle is calling his new (fashion) project "surrender"? you could also note his predilection for black-on-black-on-black color schemes ...

For me Exit Planet Dust is like drinking Belgian fruit beer. Intriguing, a little strange, outwardly appealing but having to take more than a few sips is more than the body can stand. Whenever I hear 'The brother's gonna work it out' and the crunching bass and beats comes in, I'm praying for the record to end.

I wonder if we're watching the normal life cycle of a major genre being played out here.

'Give It Up' is a good example because the 'tribal beats' thing has seemingly disappeared entirely from the Dance palette this decade. Plus, the way that track is structured follows a certain model which I'm not sure exists anymore. The marimba-like riff that comes in halfway through really lights the whole thing up and it feels more like a pop song than an underground club thing as a result. But this line was blurrier then and now seems much more clearly defined. Or maybe I'm wrong and there are similar recent examples of a similar thing today.
Talking about tracks like this in terms of their crossover success I often find useful but then the charts seemed more relevant then than they do now too. I was just thinking that you may well get a 'French Kiss' sort of track in the top 3 today if the gimmick was plugged well enough, but you don't seem to get sublime instrumental dance tracks in the charts today like you once did with 'Pacific', or maybe even Robert Miles 'Children'! So what is their relevance, in that respect?
