dudes/dudettes who jam this are hateable but theyre easy targets, politically naive, musically sort of clueless, clique-y and trendy and all that shit... ultimately no one i really know gets down to this and they dont really play it at places i go, except for the chromeo concert i went to, so, you know, i cant spend all that much time hating it, especially since there are way more valuable and important social and musical faux pas to get indignant about, like people thinking phil collins sucks

hay icecraem and max im not trynna make a thread for complaining sorry if u got the wrong idea altho i do appreciate your keepin it positive in the face of "i do hate those frat boys!" potential of this thread!!
that said im asking a real serious question about what the the deal is w/ this stuff musically, or what its trying to go for and whether its actually going to be 'remembered' u know what i mean?? and while i dont know anyone personally who is real real into this stuff but i seem to run into it pretty often anyway -- it seems like the kind of thing DJs are just 'into' and theres nothing that can be done. i tend to avoid clubs that play stuff like this but it still gets slipped in, even DJs who start off playing rap music end the night w/ this kind of shit.
honestly i have no idea what songs are 'worst' or 'best' and honestly its not about it being too abrasive -- there's much more abrasive dance music out there -- its just about it being not fun to dance to
^^^Heres one of the songs as we were talking about it on rolling ringtone

― some know what you dude last summer (Jordan), Wednesday, 3 December 2008 21:35 (fifteen years ago) link
Umm, well, I guess I technically DJ this stuff.
In my sets its a lot less Baltimore and Juke and a lot more abrasive electrohouse, but same difference.
Artists I like in this style.
Santiago and Bushido (technically fidget)every fifth Crookers track (definitely bloghouse)some James Amato stuff, basically a lot of stuff on Potty Mouth
And I've been mixing it with LA style electro-noize, like LA Riots.
I play this, because it works.
It seems to be very big in Madison (in a limited mostly college kid way).
― Siah Alan, Wednesday, 3 December 2008 22:38 (fifteen years ago) link
do you project the accompanying videos at your nights? that's how it's done at this one night here (DC) and it doesn't help matters imo. i'll dance to this stuff (abrasive electrohouse, the black kids (great name!!!!!), basically everything on here) because the whole room gets dancing and there's an open bar and, well, i like dancing...but it's not even beatmatched?! do you beatmatch?? please tell me you beatmatch.
― W i l l, Wednesday, 3 December 2008 22:48 (fifteen years ago) link
I beatmatch pretty well, and I tend to mix in a lot of older electro-house as well. Stuff like Black Strobe in 2004, older Zombie Nation, Tiga, even some High NRG. Whatever I can get away with basically.
I've been mostly playing at house parties, so no screens.
There's a pretty regular night here called Indie Queer. Its not bad, wouldn't mind playing there.

yeah the idea of, admit it, big beat, with taylor dayne and rap choruses that everybody knows on top, with some lol90s pop dance thrown in every now and again, sounds great to me. but it's all centered on that justice sound which i don't really like at all. and i'm old.

They should try for the Montmartre, its definitely the sort of thing that goes over well there.
A lot of the people who play Indie Queer have things going in Milwaukee too, I don't really know the venues though.
― Siah Alan, Wednesday, 3 December 2008 23:07 (fifteen years ago) link
I think I first decided to play this stuff when I was up in the Twin Cities at the First Avenue. I went there to see Paco Osuna play on the same night as one of the Too Much Love parties. Paco was fine, but the party downstairs had about 5 times as many people there.
I'm like note to self: indie electro/bloghouse/whatever more likely to bring people to venue than Euro DJ.
I saw Jesse Rose play the Smartbar to like 50 people, so even fidget doesn't really have that big a following around here. I like deep house a lot, but it doesn't interest 99% of the people I hang out with.
― Siah Alan, Thursday, 4 December 2008 00:00 (fifteen years ago) link
i appreciate the honest answers esp since folks were clowning this stuff & the ppl who listen to it upthread --
but does this mean the appeal to you is pretty much audience-based, you dont really like to listen to it much? Have you noticed when you do a party or whatever that if you play traditional house people just arent feeling it?
― deej, Thursday, 4 December 2008 00:09 (fifteen years ago) link
I've tried mixing in some other stuff, I got people dancing to some UK Funky house and some Kerri Chandler at one point. But I don't even try that sort of thing unless its after 1:30 or 2 am, the people who actually like dancing will usually stick around for stuff thats a little outside their comfort zone.
I'm kind of torn about the first question, I actually find myself liking this music the more I play it.
I would have considered it hellish to have a Chromeo song stuck in my head even a year ago.
Now its not that bad, I'm basically just trying to find a midway point between my tastes and the audiences.
(I do get sick of the constant requests for Daft Punk songs though).

cant believe this formulation is a decade old:
My theory is that 2008 breaks down like this:
1) Too much of what is good and popular is not populist (nu-deep-minimal; space disco/balearic for the most part; upmarket dubstep)2) Too much of what is good and populist is not popular (UK funky house)3) Too much of what is popular and populist is not good (blog-house/frankendance; downmarket dubstep)

Here's another little time capsule from upthread:
If anything this stuff is probably the North American version of grime. It has a lot of the same weaknesses and will probably have about the same longevity as a genre. I can't really get upset about this stuff because it is going to go away as quickly as it came.

I don't think the formulation really applies anymore because the whole notion of scene allegiance within dance music has broken down further since 2008. At least as far as I can tell (and note I am now 35 so perhaps am not the best person to ask) less people than ever are really invested in organising themselves into distinct audiences around particular sub-genres. This was already going on of course and really you could say that dance music has simply followed rock music's lead - rock music was already in this state a decade ago.
There will always be exceptions of hardcore faithfuls, of course. But the difference I discern now is that a lot of the long tails from what was about ten years ago have basically converged into a kind of broad, stable disco-house-techno continuum where most people are into bits of everything along that spectrum and all that is really left to judge is the thoughtfulness or charisma with which particular stylistic narratives are executed.
The other big intervening development obviously was EDM, but I think people miss some of the nuances of EDM's impact: it was and is so obviously crass that I feel like it has had the perverse effect of pushing a lot of people who might otherwise be (and historically were) into relatively-crass material like blog-house or etc. towards more tasteful material.
In respect of this frankendance specifically I just don't hear much that really sounds like it now, which is probably a function of the above: I feel like much of the audience for it has basically split three ways between EDM, hip hop and techno, i.e. they've chosen to go with whichever frankenstein bodypart they liked most rather than stick with the whole corpse.

TBH I think this would have happened anyway with a sizeable proportion of them. I guess the main difference between now and then is that structurallly there just isn't a *need* for a gateway drug from rock music into dance music proper - at least not in the UK and Europe where there are plenty of kids now young enough to have been played house music in the womb. In the US there might be but the gateway needs to be from another direction, I guess this is where EDM comes in.
A tempting but probably not entirely accurate narrative centres around the moment when the Justice Fabriclive 37 mix was shitcanned, Caspa & Rusko were drafted in at short notice and the rest, as far as cartoonish mid-range blare goes, is history. Somewhere there's a parallel universe where that never happened and the evolution of EDM took a slightly different course.
(In addition to just getting into house/techno/disco a lot of the newly grown-up fanbase drifted towards post-dubstep, particularly the jukier more rhythmic side of Hessle Audio, bits of Night Slugs etc.)
It's also significant that 'electro' as a catch-all term for dance music as used by indie kids has virtually disappeared over the last decade, anything termed electro now is more likely to mean DJ Stingray or Helena Hauff or something. By which I mean it veers a lot closer to 'classic' electro with techno elements thrown in, rather than electroclash or frankenhouse or anything similar, and it's not really dilettante-friendly music in the same way.
