RESULTS (of the very nebulously defined) 110 ELECTRONIC DANCE TRACKS of the 00s

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.

Well, they're all basically based on a template I made and I'm just tweaking colors here and there but thanks! Glad you all like them.

we do!

yahhh amazing

i like the pictures

OH SHIIIIIIIIIIT!

How did I forget to vote for Maybes!?

OMG, that version of "All I Do" is incredibly annoying.

Love the banners' design, tho.

Ok, here we go! And we open with a tie.

99. M83 - Don't Save Us from the Flames (Superpitcher remix) (157 points, 5 votes, 1 first place vote.)
Youtube: http://youtu.be/0aJypxFrVkU

the m83 is the first thing i voted for itl i think

well it turns out i also voted for 'vacuum boogie' and 'present lover'

some thoughts so thoughtless

Oh shit forgot to add the years. Green Velvet is 2001 and M83 2005.

98. Blawan - Getting Me Down (158 points, 5 votes)
Year: 2011
Youtube: http://youtu.be/sIkhewd69SE

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.

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.

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!

7 number one votes that got no other votes? love ILM sometimes.

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.

97. Hatchback - White Diamond (Prins Thomas remix) (159 points, 6 votes)
Year: 2007
Youtube: http://youtu.be/zzOny-VHg7A (original mix since Prins Thomas version is not on the tube).

The banners are exquisite, yeah. I'd forgotten about "All I Do", need more Bump'n'Flex in my life. Lots of things resembling things I've voted for turning up, so can't complain.

7 number one votes that got no other votes? love ILM sometimes.

Actually from those 7 songs with 50 points only 3 of them are number one votes. The rest closed at 50 by chance.

cheers Moka.

Here comes a triple tie.

Year: 2002
Youtube: http://youtu.be/52q-K7HKumI

Cool! really looking forward to checking out stuff on this thread, i can allready tell there is going to be a lot of "why didn't i vote for that" moments for me. along with finding cool stuff that i missed first time around. And the graphics look great! thanks for making it happen.

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.

"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.

Maria is so gorgeous. one of the tunes that defines Kompakt for me.

Funny you say that, I also feel that way about it. Feels like the pinnacles of the whole Cologne sound to me.

This one is two great KDJ tracks in one. first bringing the abstractions and tense strings then dissolving halfway through into blissful rhodes jazz.

Wow, awesome! Nice Sunday night surprise to find this rolling out. Love the images.

I need to catch up a bit, but we've already had my #8 and my #15.

The gap between voting and now has made this more interesting, I think, as I'd forgotten which things got ruled out in my late cuts from 100 or so down to 50. Things I voted for that have ranked so far:

108. Junior Boys - Like a Child (Carl Craig remix) (147 points, 7 votes) [my #39]
99. Green Velvet - La La Land (157 points, 9 votes) [my #37, mostly a vote for every time I've seen him live, though]
98. Blawan - Getting Me Down (158 points, 5 votes) [my #8]
94. Underground Resistance - Transition (160 points, 5 votes) [my #15, really surprised to see it this low]
85. Alter Ego - Rocker (165 points, 5 votes) [my #24, no idea why I rated it so highly tbh except for nostalgia]

Solitary Flight was my number 9. Love this track, I only discovered it a couple of years ago. Such a great sample flip, I have probably listened to the Bladerunner OST hundreds of times and yet, when i heard Theo's take on it though instantly familiar i could not place the source. maybe because everyone samples like "these moments lost in time" or "tell me the first thing that cames into your head when i mention your mother" random SFX or even techier parts of the score, but in theos hands "memories of Green" takes on these like weary gospel vibes or something. rather than what i associate with bladerunner vibes.

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"?

yeah it’s an interesting dialectic

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.

the future and the old school are no substitutes for the genial!

"Reckless" is 09 ~!

Which I guess raises the question why you're looking for "look right through" on this thread?

ahh lol i posted in the wrong thread ... that initial message was a response to ppl's 2010s lists, too many tabs open

I've literally heard wanker MC's just chant 'the future...the future' at d&b parties

Noise Factory to thread

Lol revisiting these results and ballots as I’m revising my own 00’s lists and it’s so noticeable how I made so many mistakes this poll. Wrong videos linked, tracks skipped by accident, not considering the number of votes as tie-breakers.

Anyhow a 2010s poll follow-up would be interesting but doubt we’d have as much participation as we did back then. 50 ballots is a lot for ilm standards.

this list, and I say this with affection, is the most 00s hipster house party-ass list of all time

Is that a compliment?

01 rex the dog prototype
02 juan maclean give me every little thing

This is a legit 1-2 imo

a 2010s poll would be fun imo

I still abide by my top 10 at the time:

the mfa - the difference it makes
gui boratto - atol
ellen allien & apparat - way out
milanese - caramel cognac
mikkel metal - victimizer
paul kalkbrenner - gebrunn gebrunn
adult. - hand to phone
dntel - (this is) the dream of evan and chan (superpitcher remix)
invisible conga people - cable dazed
quarks - i walk (superpitcher schaffel mix)

Soundstream - "live goes on" was a song I didn't know before this poll but it would probably be at the top 10 nowadays. Maybe Easy Lee on the top 10 as well... but I still love all of those songs on my original list too much.

This is a legit 1-2 imo

https://i.ibb.co/rkVvL9f/ezgif-4-800bc970e0.gif

that was just an individual's ballot, right? the overall #1 was Lindstrom, I Feel Space.

yeah that is etc's ballot.

the overall #1 was Lindstrom, I Feel Space.

https://i.ibb.co/rkVvL9f/ezgif-4-800bc970e0.gif

lol ok yes i apologize if there was something in my post that made it seem like i thought etc.’s ballot was the actual poll results.

“I feel space” really is a jam. It sounded really great in the middle of that M.A.N.D.Y. Body Language mix.

love that record
