Nineties Eurodance Yotube thread.

Maxx: "Get-A-Way"

I love how the toaster repeats "I'm a white man, I'm a white man", as if to avoid ethnic confusion...

MC Sar and the Real McCoy: "Another Night"

Expressionistic robots and silent film clips! I don't think I ever saw this back then.

- Can we modify our own posts here?
- How do I hyperlink text?

Thanks a lot.

Urban Cookie Collective: "The Key, The Secret"

The lead singer for UCC was Diane Charlemagne, who also sings on Goldie's "Timeless", and who I though was superhot back when I was 14. Actually, I still think she is.

Dancing Dolphins!

DJ Bobo: "Somebody Dance With Me"

Who says long-haired Swiss can't rap? I liked this song better though:

DJ Bobo: "Everybody"

SNAP! "Rhythm Is A Dancer

Scatman John: "Scatman"

Rest in peace, Scatman John. We won't forget you.

One of the true personalities of Eurodance, I heard that these days Leila K is a homeless drug addict living on the streets of Stockholm. So sad...

Plavka, the featured singer here, had one of the greatest voices in Eurodance. Even better was the follow-up single, "Find Me", but I couldn't find the video for that. But "Right in the Night" has one of the more innovative Eurodance videos (Jam and Spoon are the two guys playing chess there), and of course the immortal phrase, "just come and get me in my big big bed of love".

To be honest, my participation in this thread amounts more to an altogether mix of nostalgia and ironic hipster posturing, as I still find most of this music very basic and all. But trying a little bit of objective analysis here, I'd say the glory days of Eurodance were somewhere between 1992/1996, yeah, at least comercially speaking (and we can't separate the commercial side here, since that was what the producers were striving for, basically: instant commercial results). By 1996, there were already signs that Eurodance (that unabashed, poppy sound/spirit, at least) was getting eaten up by the emergence of the superclub ethos/culture. I'd say Robert Miles' "Children" and its blockbuster success, more than any other, marked that turning point when "serious" dance music producers took a bite of some of Eurodance's traits (namely the big, hooky synth/bass lines) and sold it in a much more "credible" package. And hence you had your Euro-trance, with stuff like ATB, Ferry Corsten, Paul Van Dyk et al on one side; the hard-dance stuff from Alarma, Cosmic Gate, Brooklyn Bounce, you name it, on the other; and all kinds of stuff in between.
If "proper" Eurodance has managed to survive, it was with acts like Aqua, Eiffel 65 and such, which, in all honesty, were a contemporary variation on bubblegum-pop than anything else. Nowadays, Eurodance has more to do with cover version acts like DJ Sammy, Mad'House and other really subpar stuff like that.
This is my take, at least.

(holy fucking shit)

Pandora: "Trust Me"

I've been trying to figure out for over ten years what other tune this song is reminiscent of, maybe some of you could help...

Sin with Sebastian - Shut Up (and Sleep with Me)

Haha, I remember it was quite funny back in the day that Gianfranco Bortolotti had both a group called Cappella and another onet called Anticappella. I wonder what would've come if he'd united them, Syncappella?

G.E.M. - Yo te Siento Asi (just ignore the video)

This thread = <3

Kadoc - The Night Train

Mystic - Ritmo de la Noche

Last one, I promise.

Sensity World - Get it Up

Oh yeah, someone's put one of my favourite tunes on Youtube:

Urban Cookie Collective - Feels Like Heaven

No video though... :(

U96 - Love Bizarre

The chorus melody of this tune is lifted straight from some earlier British club tune, can't remember what it was though. Very pretty song anyway.

Sorry, it's "Club Bizarre".

Oh yeah, the British tune is "Do You Dream" by Carlton. If someone happens to have the original version of that, please please could you share it with me?

I LIKE TO MOVE IT MOVE IT
I LIKE TO MOVE IT MOVE IT

gonna make u swweat

LOFT - mallorca

MASTERBOY - land of dreaming

Hey anybody knows which euro song starts with a woman singing - bararabop bip bap bobei, bararabop bip bap bobei (or something like that)? I think I just listened to it on this thread but I cant find it anymore.

GUNTHER -Tutti Frutti Summer Love

not from the nineties, but a spot on imitation

I'm loving this:

Someone's finally put this gem up Youtube:

I still have the the maxi CD of "Find Me", and it's one of my most priced possessions.

Cool, someone's uploaded a video by Dance Nation, one of the first Finnish Eurodance acts:

The video is super goofy, but looking at members of group in it, I'm sure they were in on the joke.

U96 had several classic tunes, I'd almost forgotten about this one. When I was a teen the video and the tune felt kinda deep compared to the usual Eurodance tropes:

This one sounds totally dope even today! (At least if you don't count the synth flute.) I can't remember who the vocalist is, but she's pretty great.

In 1993 someone called Beverly did a nice upbeat version of Jennifer Rush's "The Power of Love". I really liked this song when I was 1993, and I still think this is best version of it:

Tuomas, the Snap singer is Niki Harris, a former Madonna backup singer. i like her, but Turbo B, who did 'The Power' and 'Rhythm is a Dancer,' rates much higher for me. but mostly because 'Rhythm is a Dancer' might be one of the best pop songs of the nineties.

wait, jesus, i meant Thea Austin, not Turbo B. jesus, i am delirious.

Well, you can't deny Turbo B was great too.

horsesflu (1 hour ago)

they played this at the waterslides when i was real little. that was one of the first times i ever jacked off in public, after i saw a hot chicks camel toe.
this song will forever remind me of jacking off in a waterslide washroom.

I used to like that song, but I'd totally forgotten it existed. Thanks for the video!

Too bad the video for this isn't on Youtube, but the tune is dope anyway! I loved Def Dames Dope, I even used to own their album with this unforgettable cover:

...but unfortunately I've lost it at some point. :(

a cult group from my country. the synth line is to die for, almost up there with "show me love"

^The backing track is taken from elsewhere, right?

This is weird, thought it might be a joke..

N-Trance - Electronic Pleasure. Absolutely stunning.

Currently watching the 2012 edition of Super Diskoteka 90x on Youtube - it's a huge annual concert with acts like Scooter and Dr Albarn, along with tonnes of beyond-classic Russian Eurodance (Ruki Vverh, Virus, Akula, etc) from the turn of the millennium.

Scooter are amazing. Would love to see them live.

Ruki Vverh are still sounding good, even if they aren't as svelte as they were in their prime.

Dr Albarn

Is this some collab between the Swedish dentist and the Blur guy?

Just lousy spelling, unfortunately.

Alban was looking pretty disinterested, tbh. Russia's apparently the only place where he still releases physical records, though.

Hey guys, I'm doing a mixtape for tonight, and I'm looking for an Eurodance/Eurohouse tune that would segue nicely after Nightcrawlers' "Push the Feeling On", any suggestions? It should preferably be roughly in the same BPM range (120 to 130) and not sound too different from "Push the Feeling On"... "Show Me Love" is an obvious choice because it has the same synth sound, but are there any others?

Man, I'd totally forgotten how hot Jhelisa Anderson was!

Finally someone's added the video for Def Dames Dope's "It's OK, Alright" on Youtube! Quality is crappy, but it's better than nothing.

Btw, I'd never before realised the "us babes got back" line in the song was a Sir Mix-a-Lot reference until I saw her slap her ass in the video and it all clicked!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7Q0G9AWYFA

Here's another one from the same album, the tune is not as good, but the video has some deep nineties styles.
