Black Dice - Mr. Impossible

I never really thought of Cone Toaster as a dance track, tbh. It was easily one of the least dance-oriented early DFA records. In fact, I always thought having Black Dice on the label in those days was a way to pin down an extreme noise end of the spectrum of the sound they were charting.

when i saw bd in london, mb three years ago, there was some dancing

As an aside, I was on Discogs the other day and was amused by this: "Punk funk label set up by James Murphy, Tim Goldsworthy and Jonathan Galkin."

I haven't heard DFA described that way for ages, mainly since their sound became sort of ubiquitous or at least normative throughout the 00s. Anyway, reminded me to compilations like this one.

In any case, agree that Black Dice have become way more dancey over time, but especially by now mining 90s genres like breakbeat, gabba and drum'n'bass, combining that with their noise-roots. To my mind, they also always arguably had electro-influences, but mainly through stuff like power-electronics.
