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

god, i always forget dissensus still exists

I thought dissensus was shut down after the whole sex ring scandal.

(sorry)

today on the internet, a message board thread discusses a message board thread discussing the original message board thread

It's cool that they posted our poll but it would be more cool if they would release some new tracks.

Thank you for this poll btw, discovered so many great things. (If someone has the spotify link handy so I don't have to re-read the thread?)

Might as well post the link to the 1990s electronic poll here, in case someone missed it:

PEOPLE OF THE NATIONS, DANCING TOGETHER! It's the 1990s TOP 100 ELECTRONIC TRACKS poll results!

So to get over the end of the 1990s poll I am a 1/3 of the way through the 00s poll. Liking almost everything, and really liking it. Loving the range, aware there were args about what to and what not to include as material for this poll but works to the benefit of the results, meaning I have to do less work, although I'm not in the least worn out yet. From re-workings of cocktail jazz in Moodyman, Theo Parrish doing something similar yet managing to be even breezier to the outright stormy vocals from Ms Dynamite...and then there is the Kompakt crowd. And the latter has a whole micro-range in itself: Koze stretching the limits of a Mauricio Kagel like wackyness to great effect, to the Superpitcher track where the sound of droplets falling at depth placed with an irregularity that pleasingly jars the ear drum is all good in itself.

The only bad track so far is by The Knife -- vocals were weak for a while there and this is the one to single out, but then Lindstrom & christabelle vocal is cool, and Dynamite later on corrected what was an unhappy trend for a while.

The Fives is a good intro to UK Funky: love the video, all a bit DIY, and the way they stand and play and sing and that name has a whole (probably not meant) association to 50s rock n' roll. Zed Bias is the one I wanted to like the most but there's something missing there...maybe that old 2-step slickness not quite there.

I'll be making a CD (or two or several of my favourites here), this is what I have so far:

69 crazy cousinz inflation
70 sticky boo! (ft ms dynamite)
71 superpitcher mushroom
73 sound stream livegoes on
74 the fives it's what you do
75 rex the dog prototype
77 lindstrom & christabelle baby can‚äôt stop
78 cosmos take me with you
79 partial arts trauermusik
80 dolle jolle balearic incarnation (todd terje's extra dill mix)
83 theo parrish solitary flight
87 booka shade mandarine girl
90 closer musik maria
95 still going still going theme

Bah! Apparently you people hate joy. "So much love to give" is one of the all time greats. Like being beaten over the head with sunshine.

To much sunshine gives you painful sunburns and skin cancer that makes you DIE!

i've been exploring this thread today, great stuff. i managed to expand the Spotify playlist quite a bit:

http://open.spotify.com/user/sp10000/playlist/5FJTVtqnzpjzfdBGj0UecW

Don't have spotify but slsk and the youtube blackhole will keep me so occupied.

Loved playing these across the weekend, with about a nanoseconds' worth of fatigue. Ramdon exploration of individual ballots awaits, and the post-list discussion was fab. Will take while to work out all the strands in my head...loved discovering (artists' wise) Booka Shade, Superpitcher and Koze and finally getting down to listen to lots of Kompakt that I began explaoring at the time but never carried on with. And Luomo. That should've been no.1 except the Maclean-Paape-Luomo had a whole euphoria in melancholia thing going back-to-back that felt great to listen to. I can see Lindstrom not being as wtf there are nebulae forming across the sky as Carl Craig. Still, its democracy in action.

Couple more things: I did laugh at Burial and Daft Punk placed next to one another (chimed w/the whole ILX-Dissensus thing in the last few posts). Also surprised that there was as little 2-step as there was...maybe it was all released pre-'00? I think I almost certainly don't take to any string samples chosen (too blandly tonal or simply tonal as in the Sebastien Teller; sampling Skempton by Pantha Du Prince is much more like it and far more inspired), or the way guitars are processed in these (as in La Rock) unless aligned to a v great hook (Rubison really worked). But that's what years of listening to Harry Pussy-style devastation and post-serial strings do for you.

Afuken, Herbert, were the more abstract choices, but that never even began to work on me. The ideas weren't all that. Four Tet was boring.

There were a couple 2step tracks ("Sincere", "Re-Rewind") in the 90s poll.

Yeah I saw that. I have a tidy basket (more than 5-7 across the two polls) of tunes from that time that I recall (and have compilations somewhere) but I'm guessing either it was late 90s or that the poll was really way more inclined to electronic and dance music.

I think I'll need to read a thread or two where you all discussed the criteria for this poll.

That's because the good Herbert records are from the 90s rather than the 00s

Whoops, wrong decade :(

I often feel like that

listening through the results in this thread again, the whole mix of songs is surprisingly concise, you could probably make setlists out of these.

Had forgotten Lindstrom and House of House tweeted about this one. Dissapointed Carly Rae nor Grimes still haven't tweeted back to us about past year's poll.

My ballot would be completely different today. I don't think my number one would even make it

has there been a better poll than this one? found so much amazing stuff from this list.

this was a great poll, a lot of amazing tracks were represented....Wut, Hyph Mngo, Archangel, So Weit Wie Noch Nie, Tessio, Relevee, One More Time, Heartbeats, Casual Friday, Dexter, Inspector Norse, Body Language, East Lee, Blind, Falling Up, Brutalga Square, etc etc.

wonder what would be added to this list from the last 6 years

*Easy Lee

Was just this morning looking forward to the results of a 2010-2019 electronic dance tracks poll.

I like that “In A Beautiful Place Out In the Country” is considered one of the great dance tracks so far this century

love Shackleton’s “Death Is Not Final”. Laurel Halo’s “Chance of Rain”, Oneohtrix Point Never’s “Sticky Drama”

I think that Octo Octa’s “I Need You” is flat out amazing, the best dance track I’ve heard in a long time, the best track of 2019 so far for sure

This is for my parents
This is for my lovers
This is for the people I care about

For my family
For those who support me

you mean so much to me
you mean so much to me
you mean so much to me
you mean so much to me
you mean so much to me
you mean so much to me
...
I need you

I guess that sounds over the top

doesn't feel that way with the track

I would assume Peggy Gou's "Itgehane" and Koze's "Pick Up"

On a Springroll!

^^^

tofu productions - the warmth

Agreed that "I Need You" is outstanding. "Itgehane" is also quite pleasing to the ear.

The more recent hit I'd put on a "Inspector Norse" tier is "What's a Girl To Do". Although a reissue it was highly rated.

Novelist x Mumdance - 1 Sec

I really hate "What's A Girl To Do", that synth melody is so cheap and crude and ruins any atmosphere it has

Akanamali would do very well on here

There's such a big difference between these 90s and 00s polls - both obviously full of great tracks but the energy level in the 00s was way lower.

"what's a girl to do" would be nothing without the frisson created by the rub of the garish funky scribble of the lead against the delicate atmosphere laid underneath. it's one of those things where the hook is so iconic and attention-grabbing that it has to phase in and out of taste as time passes, it's not subtle enough to fit in everywhere, but that's the case with most tracks that become anthems

that's a great, otm post

but the synth lead was always honking, at least the DJ Haus edit treated it with the bad taste it deserved

boxedjoy v wrong. Defo time for a decade poll, come on er, someone

'what's a girl to do' was released in 2004.

I think it only really became famous when it was re-released in 2015 though, followed by the DJ Haus edit

the resident advisor retrospective thing has made me remember how cool some of the trackier techno of the time was, e.g. dj minx’s “a walk in the park”

kind of sad there’s not much of that on the list!
