nomination and discussion thread for possible top 100 electronic dance tracks of the 00s

Nobody rates dubstep anymore?

Mala - left leg out
Kode9 - black sun

Lucien-N-Luciano - Amael
Coyote - Too Hard (Aeroplane Mix)
Pheonix - If I ever Feel Better (Buffalo Bunch Remix)
Stars on 33 - I Feel Music in Your Heart
Agoria - Les Violons Ivres (orignal mix)
Ada - maps (orignal mix)
Speedy J - Krekc
Geyster - Under the fuse of love (Lifelike remix)
Lifelike - so electric
Kaito - Awakening
Marc Romboy & Stephan Bodzin - Callisto
Todd Terje - Snooze 4 Love

Lucio aquilina - magic m
Alter ego - Gary (tiga remix)
Andy stott - massacre
Echospace - Empyrean

Cassy - Idle blues

Durr how can you possibly vote for even a third of the tracks you've nominated?

Isn't one of the points of a nomination thread is to provide as many choices as possible for voters?

cos/mes - natural lifespan (acid mix)
ital - ital's theme
sex worker - the rhythm of the night
jacques renault - tuxedo dance
pink skull - oh, monorail!
beautiful swimmers - swimmers groove
matthew dear - deserter (four tet remix)
lamborghini crystal - rollerblading through a virtual world
malvoeaux – targets
thugfucker - disco gnome (tale of us remix)
teengirl fantasy - portofino

gotta strike a balance b/w choice and overwhelming everyone w/ 1000 different options - also there is the chance we might end up w too big of a list for google forms to handle

well, okay. but it's not like I nominated obscure tracks that no one's gonna vote for. they're rather obvious, really. so when will this process end?

questions that effortlessly sum up the spirit of ILM

josh one - contemplation (king britt funke remix)

idk, i kinda like the idea of this thread as a compendium of everything ilm thought worthy of consideration in the 00's, even if it is a little overboard in terms of actual options

i'm about 5 tracks in to listening to all of this thru and already i haven't got a fucking clue how to vote

i think there should only be 50 options and we each only get one vote

how to select the 50 options?

promise to leave it be after this.

― Jibe

Ha, thanks for reminding me of the existence of

the Eternals - Wrath of Zeus

DJ Koze - Brutalga Square
Jens Lekman - Sipping On The Sweet Nectar (Bogdan Irkük's Love Nectar Mix)
Röyksopp - Remind Me (Someone Else's Radio Remix)

I guess 500 nominees are enough?

per person? yeah, i'd say so

i think there should only be 50 options and we each only get one vote

I think there should be 1,000 options and we each get 50 votes.

capping noms seems counterintuitive, esp at this point in the process

Antena - Camino del sol (Joakim remix)

I also think we need a month between noms and voting to give people a chance to listen to things they haven't heard before

The Chemical Brothers - It Began in Afrika
The Chemical Brothers feat. Q-Tip - Galvanize
Juno Reactor - Pistolero
Scooter - Posse (I Need You On The Floor)
Scooter - The Question Is What Is The Question?

I don't think loving a track for a week justify putting it as one of your top 10 or so tracks in 12 years.

fuck me, it's the dance gestapo

What if the on heady week we loved it for was back in 2003 and we're having to refresh our dancefloor-damaged memories? All my vinyl is on the other side of the world and my portable hard drive's dead - it'll take a little while to piece together clues from old emails/messageboard posts/etc.

on = one, heh.

for example, it seems slight un-fair to me that 5 #10s has the same weight as 4 #1s, or that 5 #20s have the same weight as 3 #1s. i guess what i'm saying is that it seems to heavily favor the center of the distribution which might be why so many "middle of the road" choices place relatively high on certain poll threads.

there's also the option of going the arithmetic progression route but ramping up the common difference every ten or so places, for example 50-49-48 geting 1-2-3 pts, then 40-39-38 getting 11-13-15 pts, 30-29-28 getting 32-35-38 pts, etc... though in my experience the results usually aren't that much different than those gained with the standard '50th 1 pt, 1st 50 pts' procedure, and middle of the road picks inevitably prevail no matter what system you choose, especially if a large numble of people are involved (i guess the only properly anti-MOR system would be some sort of super-quirky/wacky version of the Village Voice model like, i dunno, distributing 1000 points to 10-50 tunes?)

my noms:

Afefe Iku - Mirror Dance
Animal Collective - Peacebone (Pantha Du Prince Remix)
Axwell feat. Steve Edwards - Watch the Sunrise
Deadmau5 - Not Exactly
Dubfire - Roadkill
Duncan Powell - Something Wrong
Feist - My Moon My Man (Boys Noize Remix)
Gadjo - So Many Times
Guy Gerber & Gregor Tresher - Open the Gates
Junior Jack vs Neanderthal - Thrill Me Animal
Junior Jack - Stupidisco
Kaskade - 4AM (Adam K & Soha Remix)
Los Hermanos - Quetzal
Markus Nikolai - Bushes (Norman Cook Mix)
Martin Buttrich - Hunter
Martin Landsky - Let Me Dance (Sebo K Remix)
Rework - You're So Just Just
Sebastien Leger & Chris Lake - Word
Sikk - My Washing Machine

@etc: fair enough. Doesn't have to be a month though

moka - any particular reason other than ruining the ILM "top 100 post-frankentrance tracks of the 10s" we're going poll eight years from now?

― the late great

Well, the poll title says tracks of the 00's. It irks me to include tracks from the past couple of years. Might as well add songs from 1999.

On an unrelated note, I was thinking that maybe splitting it into two polls would be a good idea to reduce the noms. On one poll original tracks and on the other one remixes. Just like they do it on Resident Advisor.

We already have +1000 tracks and at least 200 are remixes.

lets keep it one epic poll

Pantytec - Elastobabe (Soul Capsule's Cosmic Warrior Mix)
Decomposed Subsonic ft Coloma - Part Of The Machine

The Horrorist - One Night In NYC

^^ you'll have to wait for the 90s poll because this is from 96

inside your mind - Larry Heard presents mr white
polo- maxmillion dunbar
in the end (i want you to cry) - tensnake
boom clap bachelors - Love (Tuff City Kids Remix)
The Congo Sound – Say I'm You're Number One (Superpitcher Remix)
Wolfram feat. Haddaway - Thing Called Love (Legowelt remix)
like yesterday - Christopher Rau
Love and Sex Acid - Tin Man
Release yourself - Reggie Dokes
Lush summer rain - Move D
Choux - Bicep
Come this far (reshape) - Fred P
Rick Poppa Howard - Do What You Have to Do
patrice scott - do you feel me
your love terrence parker
closer music - maria

OK

a few reminders

1) even though the list of nominations is not going to be capped - unlike many other polls where people got a maximum number of nominations - the # of votes ARE going to be capped.

2) so whether we go with a ranking or a points system, you aren't going to be able to vote for *everything* you want to, and i am personally strongly in favor of giving extra weight to ballots w/ fewer tracks on them (a point system would make this simplest)

3) this means that you probably want to go through the list and see how many tracks are already up that you'd want vote for before you add any more nominations. for example, i just spent five minutes doing that and found about forty tracks i would probably nominate myself. this means i am now going to flip through my collection and pick maybe ten tracks i really want on the ballot so i can vote for them, rather than just grabbing every mix and compilation i have and nominating every track i enjoyed

4) as EDB said, for the love of god, please control-f or at least scan the list, just scrolling up and down quickly through the list i see a bunch of repeat noms, many of them rather obvious choices too

There's so many tracks now that there's going to be a really thin dispersal of votes presumably with a few tracks getting shitloads and some really surprising choices in the lower reaches of the list.

That depends how many votes we get

yeah even though i am a maths/sciences person and statistics and probability is not my strong suit i can intuitively tell that "long tail" effect is kinda going to fuck over the integrity of the results if that tail gets big enough
