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

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.

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.

Blajuan

junior boys like a child (carl craig remix)
and
pepe braddock path of most resistance

were on my ballot, but i love well over half of these tracks so far

whoa, i'm so excited! here's an idea, moka: how about you do a search for each track on ILM and quote one or two interesting comments about the track? your graphics are great and all but without words it can feel dry. in fact, i'll do that myself if you give me the full results.

^ yeah I love this feature of old-school ILX polls

but it's a bit hard to feel anything about Moka's presentation is lacking when she's rescued the poll altogether and is blowing up the jpg game

I liked Rocker a lot at the time but it feels kinda clunky now.

never liked 'rocker' at all. made up 'over the ice' made it, even if relatively low, thought it may suffer from an axl vote-split.

rocker was always an annoyance

Mandarine Girl feels amazingly low actually but I suspect that In White Rooms or maybe even Body Language hoovered up some of its votes.

love stl but i overplayed that one

xp. expecting 'in white rooms' top 30 tbh.

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

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
