OOh!

Let it be Gabba!

Why hasn't there been an old-skool/jungle-techno revival lately?

i think dance music dates faster than any other genre, mostly due to the combination of the simplicity of the music itself, and the vast amount of producers out there waiting to be heard. the thing is... dance music is also timeless in ways that a lot of non-dance oriented music isn't. the only thing that gets played out fast is the voices, beat-styles, or even just changing scenes due to outside factors. if a song inspires dance, it doesn't matter how old it is. there are only so many target BPM ranges you can dance within. there are a limited number of unique rhythmnic pulses. the foundations essentially stay the same - it's the decorations that change. that's why there have been (white label) remixes of these sacred cows pretty much every year since they came out.

the new version of 'You Got The Love' is exactly the same as the remix from ten years ago but with weaker drums. utterly worthless.

Presumably there has been a bit of this within the scene itself - people like High Contrast remixing 'Renegade Snares' etc.

to my ears, right now landcruising certainly sounds more relevant than innerzone orchestra

Fezaffe, why you break heart?

three years pass...

Jacob, do you know the new version of "Hypnotic tango" by Master Blaster? Maybe you should give it a try...

It's so rediculously over the top, i love that version. Their album is great too.

I mean these guys don't give those italo tunes the reverential treatment at all like the Bunker dudes etc but totally maintain the utter cheesiness factor - 00s style.

The ultimate goal of pop is to eventually (or rapidly) become irrelevant, so congrats to everyone listed in this thread!
