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

death to false HIPSTER HOUSE

lol @ mh

hmmm no berghain-ish techno so far...and probably there won't be one?

Seems like the whole Berghain sound is kind of opposed to the sort of anthemic song of the season type tracks that make it in these lists. Excepting stuff like Yours by Steffi, how many Dettman tracks stand out as individual works of mastery?

dettmann-type tracks, that is.

yeah, I get what you mean. but I thought something like EQD would place.

all of them

and some of that EQD will place high i think

I think the only Shed I voted for, actually, was Well Done. That said, I would support seeing a handful of his stuff in the top 40.

I'm doing penance for never having heard "Transitions" before today by putting it on repeat.

I wonder how much of "Once In a Lifetime" I can sing along to it.

none if you know whats good for you

i voted for well done and an EQD track, don't really expect to see either tbh

eqd vote might get split, well done my son will not place

predictions for top ten anyone?

42 ricardo villalobos easy lee
43 theo parrish falling up (carl craig remix)
46 nathan fake the sky was pink (holden remix)
47 omar s here's your trance now dance

Had these as my numbers 6/7/12/5, pretty surprised that none of them were top 20 or even higher. In fact 6 of my top 10 have now appeared, and I suspect 2 of the ones that remain won't place, but at least one will be top 10.

yeah, i'm surprised easy lee and c2's falling up didn't place higher

predictions for top ten anyone?

― karl...arlk...rlka...lkar...

'One More Time', 'Miura', 'Rej', 'Tessio', 'I Feel Space'... Other possibilities: 'La Rock 01', 'OAR003-B'... ?

Will there be a m_nus release?

blood on my hands? psychotic photosynthesis? coma cat? reckless with your love? unfinished symmetry?

38. Röyksopp - What Else Is There? (Trentemoller remix) (264 points, 8 votes)
Year: 2005
Youtube: http://youtu.be/zzOny-VHg7A

I think, for me, this one actually has everything the original had and more, like even the quiet bit is more deftly produced, something about the way the strings well up in the breakdown is so much more affecting, and I did like the original alot but it was a bit of a used style I thought, the Trentemoller one has this really weird dramatic, almost cinematic feel to the breakdown, which I didn't get in the original so much, good and all as it was.
(then it has a ridiculously ott pay off!)

I was thinking a while back that Andre Kraml's "Safari" had this secret property which brought the best out in its remixers, maybe this track has it too.

37. Todd Terje - Snooze 4 Love (264 points, 8 votes)
Year: 2011
Youtube: http://youtu.be/rQx5EAfirhc

If any 12 this year deserves it's own thread it's this one. both 'ragysh' and 'snooze 4 love' almost clinical in their perfection. 'bonysh' popped up on my ipod the other day and sounded like a great club tool also.

It's driving me crazy how the portamento only kicks in on the top 2 notes of the arpeggio. Or maybe he's just put the two notes really close together and not quantized them. But it's a sound that is both jarring and yet slightly exciting, like, I listen out for it every time to see if I can work it out. Manages to be both expected and unexpected. Clever.

i only REALLY understood it when i danced to it at a party. and only when i couldn't put my finger on what it 'is' (trainspotting as self defense etc), i realized this is a proper unclassic dance anthem (of 'knights of the jaguar' proportions), but in EXTREME slow motion. it's totally fucking with temporality, i think. it's almost like it has managed to exist only through creating a loophole through time, escaping a nanosecond before the canon of the dance has completely closed.

Voted for this. No shame. Top stuff.

Oh btw, I forgot. Snooze 4 Love had 1 number one vote.

36. Daft Punk - Face to Face (275 points, 9 votes)
Year: 2001
Youtube: http://youtu.be/dKJfJMMsqX4

I think Face to Face by the dafties and Godd Edwards is the best pop song of the new millenium....any thoughts????
― geeg, Saturday, July 13, 2002

The line in "Face to Face" on Daft Punk's 'Discovery' that goes "...when you finally get involved, face to face" makes the song seem for a second like some 80s after-school special about confronting a friend about his worsening drug habit.

I also heard this yesterday. Sometimes, my revulsion at the tastes of the general population has detrimental consequences as, in this instance, it resulted in me missing this awesomeness.

35. Sweet Female Attitude - Flowers (Sunship remix) (277 points, 9 votes)
Year: 2000
Youtube: http://youtu.be/dKJfJMMsqX4

. Any song that samples the famous Satie piano riff is automatically uplifting and gorgeous (for example: "Flowers (Sunship Mix)" )

I really love these last two tracks.

I don't know what this track is but it sounds like The Spice Girls being mashed-up with a generic garage song. Must be a British thing.

They do get positive points for using Satie in the remix in a somewhat subtle way.

Never even noticed a Satie rip, the chords are the same yeah

This is why a nebulous Electronic poll is so problematic because of "sounds likemspiecegirls" crap

YES for flowers!

am I the only one who's lukewarm to snooze 4 love?

I don't know what this track is but it sounds like The Spice Girls being mashed-up with a generic garage song. Must be a British thing.

A million points deducted from Moka.

sorry, Moka, I'm drunk

Xp lol yes

which satie song are you guys talking about?

lol, at least give me time to listen to it properly. This is my first encounter with the song and it doesn't fit my current environment at all.

If you guys love it that much I'll give it another chance later.

In the right venue, "Face to Face" is my favourite song to dance to.

Flowers is like the ultimate peak hour UKG song

Lifelike and Kris Menace : Discopolis is this years Rubicon
― fe zaffe (fezaffe), Tuesday, June 21, 2005

both the ass and the tune are absolutely amazing. imagine hearing this while planting your face in that.. pure bliss!
― gr8080, Thursday, May 1, 2008

damn i just watched the discopolis video and now i want to change my vote
― max, Thursday, May 1, 2008

lifelike and menace will never do anything that will top 'discopolis'.
― haitch, Monday, May 5, 2008

I've never watched the Discopolis video before. Suddenly it makes sense why my non-electro friends were into the song so much.

Never saw the video, fucking love post French filter house forever.. The trance-ier the better. Not the best song by lifelike or menace tho but still awesome

Can't believe anyone would vote for that poncy " I feel Space" shit over this.

I swear there has to be better discopolis endorsements on ilm than that shit

Lifelike needs a 3disc comp like menace, seriously

i can't believe we haven't talked about the herbert mix ... holy shit, it's like the next level of beardo disco, the first update on the "kiss me again" template ... total shambolic overload.

I really need to round up smith n hack remixes
