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

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:

Here are two (very different tracks) I'd have placed very highly on my ballot if I'd remembered to nominate

In retrospect I madly underrated Inflation and overrated that Killers remix.

i wouldn't be surprised if you have the closest ballot to the actual results

I am simultaneously annoyed about that and annoyed about 'Gazebo' not placing.

pedestrian ;-)

Read through my ballot and I'm shocked "watching you" didn't place. That track is sex for the ears. (forgive the cliche)

So anyway folks:

hahaha which ilxor wrote that?

Hey we're on Fact! Glad you guys liked the images enough to make a tumblr of it :) They look great all organized like that. Thanks Gukbe!

Here's

I don't know what that 'here's' is doing in there.

Very cool, props to Moka and the late great for the getting this thing all the way through to completion.

And whoever did the tumblr too.

Oh hey, Gukbe. Thanks, guess I needed to read more of the thread.

And me for the initiative? Just kidding.

I'm not going to bother reposting my ballot, since it's already up on the other thread and was perhaps slightly too whimsical/spur of the moment.

Listening to this list on Spotify has lead to me to believe that ILX really loves arpeggios. A lot. And pop vocals.

And 80s references. Sounds about right.

who doesn't love arpeggios?

Drummers?

True kvlt deep house heads? Those who pray at the church of JACK?

i pray at the church of jack and while i'm down there i'm all over the arpeggios.

Yeah, I'm trying to think of what the exact opposite of Geir would be. Somebody who likes completely rhythm based dance music?

Anyway I'm picking up on a bunch of Kompakt stuff that I missed the first time round, and its all good by me.

i think, god willing, we're all the opposite of geir.

I just thought it was interesting how of a piece everything sounds.

The things that really stick out sideways are like Basement Jaxx and Zed Bias.

Somebody who likes completely rhythm based dance music?

Sup.

Congratulations Rev, you are the Anti-Geir.

I did get that unfailingly polite man to tell me to fuck off once.

I was going to say Osunlade or something but I think even he likes arpeggios.

;_;

Or perhaps he cynically deploys them for use in the lucrative Euro-man market.

u know kraftwerk liked some arpeggios

fuck those guys they suck

would you rather listen to neon lights or acid tracks i thought so

Uh, tough question. I think I've listened to Neon Lights about 3 or 4 times a week for the last 6 months.

Although recently I've been leaning on Tour De France a little more.

ok now imagine doing that with acid tracks and how much more awesome that would be

actually imagine a lamonte young style installation where acid tracks plays over and over and over again

(as if that's not an arpeggio either)

Maybe this impression of the list is reinforced by Spotify not having most of the Detroit tracks.

It seems like the list gravitates towards a maybe a more trance friendly sound?

Like the disco stuff is sort of trancy, the Kompakt stuff is trancy, etc.

acid trax humms along in the back of me somewhere constantly but then so do a lot of things.

xp. this concept of trancy makes no sense of me whatsoever, do you mean euphoric?

no sense 'TO' me.

he means "euro"

OK if you use Kraftwerk as a sort of quintessentially European form of dance music, heavily informed by the classical tradition.

Its where a lot of Italo comes from, EBM, Trance Europe Express.

Trancy meaning music that isn't explicitly Detroit or Chicago influenced and more in line with Moroder or Kraftwerk.

Yeah, I know how influenced by Kraftwerk and Moroder the Detroit techno guys were.
