No it doesn't. It's a diverse genre and not all of it is shite.

I'd be inclined to agree with you, YKI. Any genre has good stuff and terrible shite.

[Dirk]

There's loads of good dance acts/producers, such as:

 

Groove Armada

Daft Punk

Faithless

The Prodigy

Darren Emerson

Les Rhythmes Digitales

Aphex Twin

The Chemical Brothers

Orbital

I can't believe you didn't include Haddaway in there!!????

 

"What is love" is the godfather of all 90's dance music

 

saw him live two years ago at a student festival, the crowd went absolutely mental, and good old Haddaway responded accordingly. it was, of course, a kind of ironic cheer from our part, but he didn't seem to mind. apparently he was launching his come-back with a german producer, didn't go too well I guess

 

anyway, he did "what is love" 3 times in total, as the crowd demanded it, it's the only decent song he had anyway! in the end he started cracking up, he laughed and said "I'm losing my fucking voice man!" but then he just kept on singing coz he was obviously having the time of his life, being a superstar for one night only.

 

good ol'Haddaway

 

"rhytm of the night" by Corona is also a classic, we still take the piss out of one of our mates after he thought it was "river of the night"

[Guest L4 Lad]

ok a few more i forgot to enter:

 

haddaway - what is love

corona - rhythm of the night

real mccoy - another night

strike - u sure do

paul van dyk - lover

real mccoy - runaway

faithless - insomina

[Dirk]

The Paul Van Dyk tune behind Lover was actually called Angels. It was Rachel McFarlane who put the lyrics over the top of it and called it Lover. Angles has no lyrics other than the repetition of 'Angels. Angels.Angels.'

[bri]

frankie knuckles, todd terry, tony humphries.

[Dirk]

That Paul Van Dyk tune is called For An Angel, just remembered.

[BENIRL]

"Higher State of Consciousness" thats the track no sure of the dj

[Big Ig]

L4 Lad, those songs are fucking gay in the main, and weren't you about 2 1/2 in 1993?

 

That kind of dance music (crap, for the masses, overly vocal shite) put me off a genre of music that I'm now well into for years during the early 90's...

[BatChainPuller]

Joey Beltram - Energy flash

Big Daddy Kane - Aint no stopping us now

808 state - Cubik

Xpansions - Elevations

Silver Bullet - Bring forth the guillotine

Renegade Soundwave - Space gladiator

The Ragga Twins - Spliffhead

 

Ah the memories...... come to think of I don't actually remember that much.

[Vincent Vega]

Anyone who knows the creators of the people who created these crazy noises is obviously some kind of gaylord. One or two Gary Ablett's and it all sounded like one giant all night record to me. I've never bought a "dance music" record in my life. That was Saturday night fun, my record buying belonged to people who had talent.

 

I have seen 808 State, N-Joi, Faithless, Leftfield, Orbital and The Orb live though, and all were great, though I think that had more to do with the Gary's than any particular talent.

 

Gimme Pink Floyd and a giant cone any day.

Its a talent if you can make music that fits so well with a drug tho, some of the nights I had were just the best - like you say, I can't really listen to that stuff much now I've retired from the pills - scares the shit of me nowadays.

 

Some dub and some nice weed do just fine for me.

[Slam Daniels]

I've got a mate who can sing the whole of that song by 'Adamski ft Seal'.

 

More of an aquaintance, actually.
