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

Daniel Taylor - "M.O.R.D. (Loco Dice Remix)"

His best tune alongside the son of raw remix.

why yes tim, they are, that's why i was listening to so much radio slave at the time

Not a criticism! It just struck me seeing them listed together like that.

Obv long ass was a minimal m.o. at the time.

We should do a POX of funky percussive minimal (a la Dinky's "Horizontal") and other techno for Rev.

good life (luciano)

not so much minimal anymore as shading into rainforest maximal

he would like safari (holden) i bet

as well as houle's "bay of figs", son of raw, luciano's "good life" and misc. "ballet"

Is the "on and on" Guido Schneider remix too dry? Amazing percussion on that.

Schneider releasing a tune called "As Dry As I Can Be" was a great guilty lol of minimal.

Dunno about Houle, he's pretty rigid for rev's tastes? Like I get that he's funky in a techno sense but I think you need to have already internalized
machine beats to view him that way?

Curious to know what techno post oh 2007 (that's not actually like industrial post-dubstep or something, though that too I guess) people think fit into this category.

rev likes mike q?

ballroom rigidity is different to techno rigidity though, there's still that snare-heavy stepping vibe however muscularised.

First person to spring to my mind is S Max who always had a more loose syncopated feel, than much of the mid-00 crossover house/techno sound.

Since 2007 he's been leaning more towards that post-dubstep techno sound: http://soundcloud.com/wholemeal-music/s-max-promo (a mix, but with plenty of his own stuff)

Rev was the first person to introduce me to Mike Q.

I've had 'Solitary Flight' on a loop (on my stereo and in my head) all weekend. However the only version I seem to be able to find sounds like it was recorded in a bin. Is this normal?

LOL, well I think you've nailed the Detroit House sound. That style always sounds great on a club sound system though.

It should sound like this anyway:

dog latin - is it better than 192 kbps?

tim what about BRUTALga square?

LOL ask Rev but I think not.

I think something more like this:

Or maybe something like this:

Maybe we should start a separate thread for this - not just for Rev but to explore this line of reasoning.

i'm confused about what this strand we're looking for is...

but, as ever, an excuse to post youtubes of yore is hardly needed

we're looking for funky, bass-heavy, percussive minimal tracks with a "take you on a journey" vibe that are slightly inferior to but approaching the quality of radio slave, particularly the ones tim and rev hate

haha nice try vahid:

(a) I don't think they need to be "take you on a journey"

(b) I love Radio Slave but I don't think Rev would at all

Basically Ronan, Rev thinks he doesn't like techno/tech-house/minimal, but gets with house and uk funky and post-dubstep and etc. and is always talking about how he likes grooves that are primarily driven by percussion (rather than, say, arpeggios). So I was brainstorming tunes I think he would like, esp. after he loved Dinky's "Horizontal" (but didn't care for Metope's "Selvsyn") which I posted upthread.

minimal tracks with a "take you on a journey" vibe that are slightly inferior to but approaching the quality of radio slave

at what point did you think this was about you, anyway?

this is the first thing i think of, hasn't aged well, used to love this though, it's a eulberg remix, not labelled that clearly here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGUehbxH-cw

actually listening through i'm enjoying it still.

another one... the secret "gehts noch?"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWe744c6YFo

god that used to go down so well in clubs.

Yeah I was trying to think of an appropriate Eulberg tune too. That one's great! Not certain if I've heard it before. Possibly too boshing for Rev (I think he might turn his nose up at anything with big tearing bass riffs, but perhaps not), I'm not sure.

Meanwhile MikoMcha here's the Luciano Live @ Silo, Belgium mix:

I will also upload the Krystal Bucharest live set shortly as I always think of that as "part 2" to this.

always all about me tim, solipsism get into it

this attempt to blow rev's mind has sparked quite the discussion. only half joking. being reminded of some good things i overlooked then because it was often just off what i wanted to hear. did enjoy a bit of matthew jonson at the time, but the only one i return to is the speicher mentioned above (not by name tho) "dirt road and the boat from soundwave" with the mole. so fantastic still, and one i can't believe i didn't vote for. probably place high if i was to vote again today.

hell let's listen shall we

interesting list, wish there were a few more big room type joints in it tho

my fav jacques lu cont is def his gwen stefani remix, surprised that didnt get a mention. and my mindgarden favorite is his remix of "sex & sun" but im kinda lonely on that one

i think this is much better than prototype
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfHNuoTqFug

Dancing in Chicago gave me v different experiences than this, the 2000s would have been all about dennis ferrer and instead of that mark e edit it would be an edit of bill withers "Harlem" and there's no WAY "Mirror Dance" wouldn't be there, or this white label of natalie cole:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6W-IQyW6Vo

Yeah, I was actually quite surprised that Prototype placed instead of the (in my opinion FAR superior) I look into Mid-Air

Frequency > Prototype too

my Kompakt choices would be v different from the ones that made it probably. i think the ultimate Superpitcher is "Heroin," i like him at his most enervated

theres also a whole circle of cheesier club classics that i think i associate more w/ when i went out dancing ... green velvet's "shake & pop", Classixx "i'll get you," simian mobile disco's "it's the beat" (i preferred "I Believe" but at the time "It's the Beat" was the bigger club song)

thing is, w/ all this stuff i was getting into old stuff at the same time. so a track like
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5XS1CZV9w4

might as well have been 'new' or like a Still Going joint to me.

oh yeah roisin murphy's "let me know" would have to make it !

oh well sorry for monday morning quarterbacking

i assume cut copy was too indie pop for teh dance massive? ill admit that i would have voted bob sinclair's "world hold on". maybe i should just make a list

tim f otm re: Shakedown "At Night"

other songs I'm surprised not to see:

modjo "lady (hear me tonight)"
xpress 2 "lazy" (except in dog latin's list)
"groovejet"
"lola's them"

im sure theres more if i think abt it but w/e

in the 2-cheesy-but-cmon-its-still-better-than-[zing!] category, deepest blue 'deepest blue'

ill admit that i would have voted bob sinclair's "world hold on"

not gonna lie, i would have voted for 'love generation' if i'd remembered it existed

Lady would def be in my top 100 tunes. Also etienne de crecy's "am I wrong"!

whats everyone's take on this as a moodymann track?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3xUeYuwmq8

You mean that he originally put it out as a KDJ track in 1999?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arsZacqvkc8

He's done that pretty often hasn't he.

I voted for "At Night", and probably would have voted for "Lady" if I'd seen it - there's a bunch of 99-00 stuff which I think will slip between the two decade-in-dance polls. There's some frankendance/Modular/indieclash stuff I certainly danced to last decade (begrudgingly or not), but it didn't seem to fit. Not sure what kind of catchment something like Kavinsky would fall under.

re: Rex the Dog, he had a fairly much flawless run for a little while - that dub of Depeche Mode's "Photographic" (and the uh associated "Since U Been Gahan" via DJ Earworm) was way better than it needed to be.

Been listening to a lot of these entries this week. Some I like well enough, many I must admit I find a bit of a snooze. That Still Going track is the epitome of snooze in my book - much duller than Spaghetti Circus. Other tracks I can't stand because they've been used in one too many TV adverts or DVD menus etc, although that's no fault of the track itself. I didn't really see what was so impressive about I Feel Space personally. I'd heard it a few times before and, well it's a nice little tune but it didn't blow my mind or anything. Oh well, sorry for the negativeness. There's plenty of stuff here that I do like too.
