95. DJ Zinc - Super Sharp Shooter (Ganja Records, 1995)
322 points, 6 votes.

http://i1326.photobucket.com/albums/u641/Lixenixen/supersharpshooter.jpeg

http://youtu.be/bwX6d4wZcso

i have a feeling that on the dancefloor the easy roller opening/spastic melodic bassline for the rinse-out formula he perfected (the apex of which being "super sharp shooter"?) was a killer. but unfortunately by 97 i had stopped raving, and have been to about 4 jungle nights since.

― jess, 9. helmikuuta 2002 3:00

dj zinc's "super sharp shooter" (okay the beats are fairly typical rectilinear jump-up, but that B-LINE)

― jess, 6. toukokuuta 2002 3:00

this isn't really a question, cos my mind's already made up. anyway, i felt like dancing this evening, but couldn't face another late night out; so i was going to just go down the pub & get drunk, but i didn't really feel like that either. instead i'm home alone listening to old trance/techno/jungle tunes (how great is super sharp shooter??) VERY LOUDLY and dancing round the lounge like an idiot. possibly this has been brought on by too many cups of tea and not enough food, but whatever's got me in this mood is clearly a good thing that should be done more often.

― toby (tsg20), 1. helmikuuta 2003 23:48

1048. DJ Zinc was the inspiration for the character of Robbie Rotten in hit kids TV show Lazy Town. During one episode, Robbie hums excertps of "Super Sharp Shooter" whilst attempting to foil Stephanie's attempts at making a trifle.

94. Acen - Close Your Eyes (Production House, 1991)
324 points, 5 votes.

http://i1326.photobucket.com/albums/u641/Lixenixen/closeyoureyes.jpeg

http://youtu.be/K7I6BR_XY10

look, what i really want to know, though, is, what the hell happened to acen. he just disappeared one day. i heard some weird story about him dying or something, and then like 20000 people saw him at a rave AFTER he was supposed to be dead. obviously this is fucked, but i must have got it from somewhere. E's were well good those days, but they weren't THAT fucked. ok, someone clear this up?

― gareth, 7. kesäkuuta 2001 3:00

Acen is an absolute classic. "Trip II The Moon" was the shit, but "Close Your Eyes" was even better. I've converted more people to dance music in general with that song than any other.

― Dan Perry, 7. kesäkuuta 2001 3:00

Maybe the closest thing old skool hardcore had to an outright mad genius? Sometimes a little too mad and meticulous for the dance floor, perhaps. His tunes are structured like proper pieces of music, designed to be listened to from beginning to end rather than just wacked on as floor fillers.

― chap, 6. helmikuuta 2008 20:40

I don't know if this qualifies, but Acen's "Close Your Eyes" is a stimulant-based experience if there ever was one.

Tuomas, Tuesday, 11 December 2012 20:25 (eleven years ago) link

Perhaps the most emblematic house single of the decade? Still a fab tune, anyway. Though I prefer the version with rapping, because, you know, I love 90s dance raps.

Tuomas, Tuesday, 11 December 2012 20:27 (eleven years ago) link

Show Me Love is more emblematic imo

Ismael Klata, Tuesday, 11 December 2012 20:28 (eleven years ago) link

Great to see this rolling out. Love all of these so far. Re: Like a Motorway, it's a shameless Hardfloor rip-off but so brilliantly done. 303 porn.

I was gonna say the exact same thing as Ismael

I loves you, PORGI (DJP), Tuesday, 11 December 2012 20:40 (eleven years ago) link

Finally >>> Show Me Love. Perhaps because I don't hear its influence in countless bad dance records.

91. Amira - My Desire (Dreem Teem Remix) (VC Recordings, 1997)
326 points, 4 votes, one 1st place vote.

http://i1326.photobucket.com/albums/u641/Lixenixen/mydesire.jpeg

http://youtu.be/lvVIyKHXJ9U

Amira - My Desire (Dreem Teem Mix) The name says it all. "My Desire" does the whole yearning shtick as well as any indie record ever has, because it captures the texture as well as the narrative of the sentiment. For dancing with tears in your eyes.

― Tim, 11. helmikuuta 2001 3:00

People who wanted to vote for "Flowers' plz vote for "My Desire" instead. Thanks!

Hadn't heard that one before, but it's really dope, so thanks for repping it, Tim!

Tuomas, Tuesday, 11 December 2012 20:46 (eleven years ago) link

Also, I believe that tune has the highest points-per-voter ratio in the whole top 100.

Tuomas, Tuesday, 11 December 2012 20:53 (eleven years ago) link

That's because it's one of the top five pieces of recorded sound

Tim F, Tuesday, 11 December 2012 21:09 (eleven years ago) link

No prob. I won't have time to post any more results today, but I'll continue tomorrow. If someone was disappointed with the very dancey top 91-100, there's some non-dance music too coming up next.

Tuomas, Tuesday, 11 December 2012 21:30 (eleven years ago) link

Voted for Super Sharp Shooter, Close Your Eyes & Open Your Mind rmx. Thought I'd voted for My Desire remix too but looking through my ballot apparently not, glad to see it show up anyway.

Ain't Too Proud To Neg (Mr Andy M), Tuesday, 11 December 2012 21:50 (eleven years ago) link

90. The Sabres of Paradise - Smokebelch II (David Holmes Remix) (Sabres of Paradise, 1993)
331 points, 5 votes.

http://i1326.photobucket.com/albums/u641/Lixenixen/smokebelch.jpg

http://youtu.be/4E7DKirMqQI

It's an interesting subject because there really are 'gateway' records which got former indie boys into dance. Orbital's "Halcyon" did it for loads of friends at University and the remix of Sabres' "Smokebelch II" was another one.

― Tom, 23. helmikuuta 2001 3:00

I don't know if I'd have Smokebelch so high, I love it and all but isn't it more the pinnacle of a beautiful old style piano breakdown rather than a massive seminal record in its own right?

― Ronan (Ronan), 22. marraskuuta 2002 13:20

Prachtig! Ga 'em direct weer opzetten. De David Holmes-remix was de mooiste, meen ik me te herinneren.

Tuomas, Wednesday, 12 December 2012 08:32 (eleven years ago) link

I think David Holmes is the only artist in the poll who got more votes for his remixes than his own tunes.

The highest rated remix in the whole poll made it to 10th spot, by the way. I guess that's bit of a spoiler, but now you can start speculating what it is.

if so *spoiler* 'show me love' for one isn't placing, unless ilm really likes 'put em high'.

So: The Answers (or something), Wednesday, 12 December 2012 09:14 (eleven years ago) link

336 points, 5 votes.

http://i1326.photobucket.com/albums/u641/Lixenixen/turquoisehexagonsun.jpg

http://youtu.be/jRyYISMXbwc

Anyhow since getting my hands on MHTRTC all I wanted was more BoC stuff - there is something about their music that stops everything else cold. The whole childhood nostalga this is definitely there for me - on the first listen, without any idea of what to expect besides "they're on warp", I was taken straight back to 70's/80's marine wildlife/science documenary projections on the wall at schoool, as well as that wierd huge overpass somewhere in Ammerica with a million cars on it - remember that?

Anyway, MHTRTC has been in my daily travelling stash of tunes EVERY DAY since I got it, and has since been joined by IABPOITC and Geogaddi. It's like they are making music just for me - was nearly in tears when I first heard Turquoise Hexagon Sun, and again with Kid for today and IABPOITC itself. And as for Over the horizon radar - well, That was Kleenex time...

― Johann Morton, 27. helmikuuta 2002 3:00

Sinewy electronic chillout music deeply informed by hip-hop and Robitussin. The beats are mesmerizing, the environmental flourishes in the samples are breathtaking, and "Turquoise Hexagon Sun" is just mind-boggling.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), 2. lokakuuta 2002 17:44

like being sprayed with giant windex bottles of hypercolor twinkle dust. like the turquoise hexagon sun is engulfing you. pleasant as it is, it's almost too much, too saturated, a day dream binge.

― Honda (Honda), 12. toukokuuta 2003 20:22

Boards of Canada - "Turquoise Hexagon Sun"
A man attempts to commit suicide by jumping off a cruise liner into the ocean. The music starts once he is underwater. At first there is only darkness, then we get subtle flashes of brightly colored fish. A glowing object in the distance comes closer, until we see that it is a beautiful mermaid, who pulls him into a cave in a reef, where he passes out.

Thanks suare, but everyone has different tastes of course. City on the edge of forever is very good, but I don't think it was in the nominations, and after almost none of my nominations placed in the 00s poll, I thought I'd rather boost other tunes nominated by other people this time around. Losing Control is by far the better tune to dance to though.

If you know The Bounce, take a listen to this too: http://youtu.be/3DdO2Mq9ZNQ

The remix of Nothing To Fear has barely left my bag over the last 3 years.

Chewshabadoo, Monday, 24 December 2012 09:54 (eleven years ago) link

I'm on a phone can't play the track you linked, what is it?

Always so pricey:(

I thought a repress was on the cards but don't know if that ever happened / is going to happen

suare, Monday, 24 December 2012 10:46 (eleven years ago) link

I think I got lucky and found a slightly crackly one for £10 a few years back, and used the old PVA glue trick to clean it.

Chewshabadoo, Monday, 24 December 2012 11:18 (eleven years ago) link

The linked track is basically a remix MAW made, they then used the rhythm track from that as the basis of The Bounce.

Chewshabadoo, Monday, 24 December 2012 11:19 (eleven years ago) link

As Losing Control was my number one pick, I’m going to put a link here. Always smashes the dancefloor in my experience.

I'd just like to reiterate that you all should be fucking ashamed of yourselves for not placing "Gypsy Woman".

The Reverend, Friday, 6 September 2013 03:44 (ten years ago) link

Unfortunately something happened to that playlist cos it had a lot more tracks on it but somehow the majority of them got deleted off it, still not sure if it was some fuckup on my part

I'd just like to reiterate that you all should be fucking ashamed of yourselves for not placing "Gypsy Woman".

Well, la da dee la da da to you too.

Chewshabadoo, Monday, 9 September 2013 17:43 (ten years ago) link

I think I prefer Surprise these days.

Chewshabadoo, Monday, 9 September 2013 17:53 (ten years ago) link

Rev, if I'd been able to vote there would have been 3 votes for "Gyspy Woman"
