Alright so those 10 were the bonus for the 10 tie-ins ahead. Great songs all around. Will give you a couple of minutes to digest those. Actual top 100 coming on up.

I was sure a single first place vote would guarantee a spot here - I guess if the present lover got 1 1st place and two other votes on top of that there's tougher competition than I thought.
― formerly EDB (ed.b), Sunday, 19 August 2012 23:36 (eleven years ago) link
Expected this one to fare much better considering it did good on the best 2011 tracks poll.
i didn't vote but i'm psyched. looks great Moka. there are already tracks i LOVE mainly TPL and Cable Dazed.
― jed_, Sunday, 19 August 2012 23:37 (eleven years ago) link
1st place vote means 50 points. According to my table there's 7 nominees fighting for a tie at 50 points. They're fighting for the 356th place!

I think Getting Me Down was low down on my ballot but not 100%. Good tune anyway, I may have heard it a few too many times by now but can't really hold that against it.

Caught up on all the youtubes now - from the ones that I wasn't familiar with before, I think Invisible Conga People - Cable Dazed is my favorite so far. Really the Killers & M83 tunes are the only ones that I'm not too keen on, so a pretty good start.Heading to bed now, will rejoin the fray after work tomorrow. Thanks again to Moka for the work on this.
― I Shall Be Re-Released (Mr Andy M), Monday, 20 August 2012 00:10 (eleven years ago) link
"Transition" should be much higher imo. but i didn't even vote for it as i thought it was pre 2000. it just feels like an all time classic.

Just like hip hop in the 90's, I've been slowly realizing that the 00's might be the ideal electronic music period. remember sometime around the mid-00s how it felt like everybody wanted in on it. it sounded like the coolest, exciting music to listen to and it was fusing around with every genre that wanted to join in on the party and threading new grounds every passing month. While in previous decades it was more of a clubbing experience, people were now hearing it on their cars, on their headphones, on their house parties. It was fun and colorful but it could also be deep and affecting in ways that it had never been before. People stopped thinking of it as 'cold, machine' music - it could be cold, sure - but it was also as bright and warm and human as any other genre could be.
Maybe I'm wrong and old and it's as much a communal experience this decade as it was in the 00's. I'm just wearing my nostalgia goggles because I really miss those days.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Friday, 29 November 2019 18:20 (four years ago) link
I’d probably disagree more with:
“It was fun and colorful but it could also be deep and affecting in ways that it had never been before.”
Unless you simply mean that it was finding new ways to continue to explore being deep and affecting (something which it also was in previous decades), in which case, sure.
― Tim F, Friday, 29 November 2019 20:53 (four years ago) link
xp you are wrong, it’s true
― djdirtbagstyle, Friday, 29 November 2019 21:25 (four years ago) link
I hate the idea that dance music gains significance by being deep and meaningful tbh, sometimes you just want a b*nger
― boxedjoy, Friday, 29 November 2019 21:48 (four years ago) link
like I love a tears-at-4am Kompakt anthem as much as anyone who went clubbing in the past twenty years, but there's just as many goofy, functional and/or simply striking tracks that are just as personally significant
― boxedjoy, Friday, 29 November 2019 21:49 (four years ago) link
i liked the 00s in dance music but this was probably to a large extent because i was 19-26 during the decade and, you know, dancing on a beach in barcelona or in the sub club full of MDMA half the time
― #FBPIRA (jim in vancouver), Friday, 29 November 2019 21:49 (four years ago) link
Moka all that stuff happened in the 90s already
― brimstead, Friday, 29 November 2019 22:46 (four years ago) link
Yeah I know, I barely experienced electronic music in the 90’s, I started in 1997 when I was 13 with the popular alternative labels like warp or ninjatune. Internet was nowhere as fast and easy back then in my country so it was until much later that I actually discovered all the great electronic music from the 90’s and it was as banging and beautiful as it was in the 00’s. But as I said, I’m just wearing my nostalgia goggles. I was 15 in 1999 so it was until the 00’s that I actually started experiencing electronic music in a wider, social context so I’m specially fond of the tracks of that decade. Someone 10 years younger than me would probably tell me the 2010s was his ideal era for electronic music.

In my experience the 90's was more magical, in the 00's underground matured. Of course I also stopped taking e right in 2001. But that b*nger thread (heh) got me thinking about the party I went to in the mid-00's, a Sunset Party on the rooftop of the SF MOMA iirc. It wasn't bad but wasn't one of the more magic Sunset gatherings I've been to. Anyway as I was riding the elevator to leave the party, and I wasn't even that old at the time, there were some late teen/early 20's kids griping about the 'old people' at the party. It was kind of a defining moment for me.
― viborg, Saturday, 30 November 2019 03:00 (four years ago) link
Otoh at one of the last Sunset Parties I went to I was with a DJ pal who kind of in the 'inner circle'. I was feeling the buzz and talking about how magical the parties were and he took that and ran with it, babbling about the 'magic' for weeks. I love the guy. In retrospect it's clear that 'magic' was mostly the result of heavy cocaine use from what I saw although I was never inducted into the inner circle. The 90's magic was definitely more straight MDMA which is a BLAST for the experience of communal bliss through dancing to hypnotic grooves.
― viborg, Saturday, 30 November 2019 03:03 (four years ago) link
have you all ever noticed that going back to the old school, doing it how we used to do it, getting back to the roots, etc is an evergreen trope in dance music? there are tracks from like 1990 talking about going back to the old school!
― djdirtbagstyle, Saturday, 30 November 2019 03:07 (four years ago) link
Right, in contrast with the obsession with "the future" in some of the music. I've literally heard wanker MC's just chant 'the future...the future' at d&b parties.
xpost
Also the advent of smartphones, FB, etc drastically changed the scene starting in the early 00's. Just as the internet completely reshaped the music industry. Can you imagine getting rich off of one 12"?

Anyway not sure about the geography represented here but there was just a decent list of top US rave anthems of the 90's on Mixmag that got me a little wistful.
