Dance music seems to live in cycles...



It was huge here in Cali, back around 89-91, huge underground parties, then it died out for a while, and grunge was ascendent, then it came back big in the late 90s.... What it does is go underground every once in a while, then comes back later, better and stronger.



Just because the media is not digging dance music right now doesn't mean its dead.

Don't feed the troll....

dont worry boy! dance music isnt ending!

me and my friend neil are gonna eventually make a techno band. i think. cuz he asked me one day if i wanted to come his house and make music with him. he has the program reason. and once i get a job, i think im gonna buy some equipment and make a studio in my sisters room. because she'll be moved out by the time im old enough to do any of this. by the way i'm 14. so hopefully in the future, we will have room for more dance and techno lovers like me! ;-) 8) ;-)

dont worry about anything!



oh ya, the thing that pissed me off on the new chemy bros album is the damn nigger vocals in Left Right. that pissed me of a lot. no offense to anybody whos lack, but i absolutely hate rap. defintly when some damn nigger is singing al this jive shit. hate it.

Maybe 'Left Right' isnt the best track but dont say things like that here. Who cares if you hate rap but theres no need to be rasist!



With an attitude like that you wont get anywhere in making music. Thats the kind of narrow mindedness thats killing dance music.



Anways after that rant.....



I agree drum and base is a massive player these days like big beat was in the 90s. It all comes in phases. Im enjoy dance music being unpopular because it means you dont get little kids and people listening to it just to be cool. I like it being un-cool. But im sure it will resurface at some point sounding fresh again.

I think I'll put on the Chems' Anti Nazi League gig now...

when i say "nigger" i meant the jive talk, and the way they sound.

maybe if they actually talked correctly, they wouldnt be called niggers. ;-) ;-)

We do talk correctorly, theres no right or wrong way to speak everyone has there own accents and dialects and are equaly as corect as each other.



Q: What is the correct way of talking?



A: There is no correct way of talking!



Dont use that word as its offensive! Im sure the vocalist and the Chems wouldnt appreciate it. Its when different cultures and sounds come together that interesting things happen with music!



With rasist attitudes music and culture wouldnt progress!

I know you're just trying to get a reaction but posting racist shit on the forum isn't big or clever, even as a "joke".

Listen kid, GROW UP!! Jive talk, nigger talk? What the fuck, don't bring that shit here!! I know you're only 14 but use your head and think before you post. The winking smilies can't save you now.

Im not trying to flog this thread like a dead horse but i really think PTB is going to prove alot and will hopefully inspire people to go and make electronic music.



Its gonna be a big year for dance acts making albums that are different from there prevoius stuff. I think 'Human After All' will turn alot heads, same with Armand Van Helden and Timo Maas new stuff, they should all help boast dance musics profile in the eyes of the young. Dunno what Underworlds album will be like though? :?

You are right about it been a big year for dance music, me and my friends were just talking about it last night, but with a lot the big acts doing stuff this year (chemical brothers, daft punk, moby) it is a bit of a make or break situation for dance music.

I recently read a quote somewhere from a certain artiest expressing his joy at the amount of great music currently being released in electronica.

god I wish I could rememeber who said it cause I was immidately like "really" WTF?



Oddly enough not one of the "oldschool" 95-98 era big artiest to release an album lately has done so without being crtitically a flop, a problem with this plague of bad reviews is they compoud and overflow onto each new album that comes out while decent album from the orb, orbital, juno reactor, chemcials brothers (all pretty much 4 stars) are dragged down for not being anything reveloutionary (lucky to have an orb album with the struggles LX has been going through).



You add to the fact that Each ofthe artiest have personally agendas besides producing the next greatest album of all time (chems explore inpirations. orbital released a so called "final" album .. autchre has been lost in a maze of technological babble/de-constructive nonsense, all the warp artiest seem self destructive actually.. going against anything that remotly gets them popular) I must say that it doesn't help that high profile acts such as Fat boy slim (Horrid album) are flopping, but when something great comes out "I loved the new prodigy" and gets mixed reviews .. it often gets blown off instantly as just anouther sign off the so called death.



What we are experincing is a lot of big name relaese from a variety of "real" artiest that aren't hellbent or delusional enough to think they are gonna release the greatest thing the world has ever heard. instead experamenting with new sounds and either dissapointing, or confusing fans. I felt the same way back when surrender/beaucoup fish/middle of knowhere came out not one of the three blew my mind and I was like holy crap the end of electronic music.. ..I found other stuff to listen to enjoyed a few of the tracks on the albums, ( some grew on me more so than others) and more great stuff came out.



You can't kill "electronic music" it has an infinite possibility of technological sounds to create an infinite combinations of sounds. you can only let it grow stale, buy not letting the artiest to breath and create

Thats a DAMN GOOD POINT.
