well then i'm on my own again

btw I nommed saturn strobe twice so I lost those 13 points in nothing.

well then i'm on my own again

nah, I like the toscodisco mix as well - there is a promo comp w/ about eight or so mixes of that track & most of them are good-to-great imo.

hatersgonnahategifetcetc

britishes getting all "omg this tune perfectly encapsulates the ear to ear grin of going whooooosh with your uni mates in a muddy field"

maybe it needed more Justice though

i would rather listen to justice than all this aeroplane shit

idk complaining that people find a music that is more-or-less designed for a very specific purpose and setting really great in at that very specific purpose and setting seems a bit ??

i don't see anthing wrong witht aht

oh but it's DESIGNED to be SHITTY!

i mean, whatsherface who did that FRIDAY FRIDAY song was designed for a specific purpose and setting too

your poptimist philosophy is soft like babyshits

if y'all europeans could learn to JACK THEIR BODY TO THE BOX instead of sitting around all red-faced and grinny in fields then maybe your birth rates would catch up to ours

I read an article the other day saying the US birthrate has declined to be on a par with Europe's.

cause we're listening to toro y moi and double shadow and grimes, that would make your birthrate decline too

my list of nebulous best 00s w/e

01 lindstrom - another station (todd terje remix)
02 henrik schwarz - leave my head alone brain
03 lamborghini crystal - rollerblading through a virtual world
04 cassius - sound of violence
05 noisia - the tide
06 sex worker - the rhythm of the night
07 studio - life's a beach!

feel like this tune is at the dead center of vahid's jack vs europe dichotomy.

making european music

to me that just sounds like a latter-day green velvet production

maybe w some spacious k-house influence

Poll results are fine by me, feels very heavily weighted towards the old bobbins threads but that's not unexpected or unpleasant.

Wasn't really expecting a Moodymann track to walk away with #1, I Feel Space was a surprise though.

mmm - nous sommes

totally forgot this one

tlg u voted for 1999s 'knights of the jaguar' u loon.

ah well

99 was already the 00s

would be great to get all these banners on a tumblr or a site somewhere for ease of linking/appreciation. really i just dig the ~~class~~

Who wants to start a Tumblr for it? This is not me volunteering.

If I'm following Rev's template correctly (bold for didn't place, bold+italics for only vote):

03 grace jones williams blood (aeroplane remix)

If this was nommed it would have been top 20 I reckon

I was going to post the Coldplay remix that someone nommed as a joke entry in the top 10 but completely forgot about it.

Was it the TWD? I can see that not being a joke – ignore or put up with Coldplay dude’s keening vocals and you’ve got a lush, stately Kraftwerk cover by JLC at the end of his imperial period

would be great to get all these banners on a tumblr or a site somewhere for ease of linking/appreciation. really i just dig the ~~class~~

this was going to happen for the 2010 year-end and still hasn't

If this was nommed it would have been top 20 I reckon

Really? I like it, but I've always thought of it as a bit "lol Tuomas."

it's not as *spits* indietwee as Paris, but it's about as great and with a MUCH better original song

tumblr only lets you put up 10 pics per post and i also screwed up but until someone does better: http://ilxpolls.tumblr.com/

That Partial Arts tune is of an era of Kompakt tunes where I listened to them a fair bit at the time and then never again. This covers basically everything the label did from 2006 onwards mind.

Yep.

Wish I had found the time to vote.

What no "I Remember House"?!?

Kinda weird and discouraging seeing how little overlap my ballot has with most of those here even though a bunch of my votes managed to place. :/

Rev if it makes you feel better i adore every single one of the tunes in your list except for a handful of post-dubstep ("Wut", "Hyph Mngo", "Getting Me Down") which are only in the "good" category for me.

I think a key reason your ballot is quite different is you seem to have less than ten tunes from the first half of the decade.

(my own ballot seems about evenly split between first half and second half)

Yeah, like I said earlier, I wasn't listening to dance music at all until around 2005 or so.

that jacques lu cont remix of "talk" is an amazing tune

they played it two weeks ago and at "last-party-ever" thing for a bar that got shut down (with a weekly electrohouse schedule) and it turned the floor into a sweatbox!

Now that this poll is over, you can nominate stuff for the upcoming 1990s electronic music poll. The deadline for nominations is September 15th:
