i always thought this song would be perfect if covered by dag nasty (in their best period)... could work so well as a skaty hardcore tune...

I think if it had been that good an idea Snuff would have done it by now...

Weirdly enough I was in my friend's car last night listening to the new Me First & The Gimme Gimmes album (which is great!) and, in my head, trying to come up the best early 90s rave tunes that were ripe for being covered in a skatepunk fashion such as this. Then I got drunk and forgot them all

Featherweight dance acts from the late 80s & early 90s that released multiple singles (and in some cases, albums):
Bardeaux
Double You
Fun Factory
Twenty-Four Seven
Def Dames Dope
Alex Party
Ice M.C.

... all of which have a place in my heart!!!

Revive after hearing 'Let Me Be Your Underwear' dropped into the middle of a Jayda G mix.

Feels like nu-Balearic and wedding disco revivalism between them have turned a fair few of these into acknowledged classics now.

Hi Tek 3 "Spin That Wheel"

aka the best song ever

destroy

the “late” great

or should I say ‘the poster formerly known as great’?

!!!

Was waiting for that.

I have some old French "Now!" equivalent called Boulevard Des Hits lying around somewhere. Most of it is either hilarious or total shit. Cock Robin? Kassav? Zouk Machine? Hypnoteck? Liza Minelli?!!!!!! ARRGH!

"let me be your underwear" and "spin that wheel" are like undeniable. people hate fun i guess. also come on those are somewhat talked about. joey negro isn't exactly out of the conversation - that one is on one of his compilations from a few years ago. "spin that wheel" is au courant because of octo octa, at least it was last year.

fuck an idm revival i want an electrohouse revival. no one talks about electrohouse. no one talks about edm. i had the illest sex with this kid in his electric daisy carnival bedroom to an edm mix a few years ago. i don't really want to go to edc but i want an edc friend or two in my life so i can check out mixes now and then.

there's a crowd in my small city that is all about searching for and playing their somewhat obscure "thing" defined by pretty strict paramaters and oh my god that hyper-curated extremely tasteful sound can be so incredibly boring. someone posted a teki latex mix on the mixes thread and ra touted it as this example of like fun vocals mixed with sick beats but the beats themselves were just like raw reduced ballroom ish house - again, "tastefully" fun. kinda boring. i wish people would hype it up a little bit. flirt with being dumb and commercial and obvious. heaven fucking forbid.

i never hear anyone talking about reggaeton and that's like an instant party starter. i wish i had a better entry to it - no idea how to start.

someone loan map a time machine so he can go back to 2003-2004 ILM :)

lol
