basement jaxx - romeo / where's your head at / breakaway
space cowboy - i would die 4 u
the streets - weak become heroes (royksopp mix)

1999!

WRONG

hahaha, so true. so i will change the topic: Dance Tracks of the 00's for IDIOTS.

knows what garage sounds like, knows who bob sinclar is, knows who armand van helden is.

Lex - the Trentemoller thread is here - it's the funny O that's screwed your search for you.

i'm just saying.

Is electro for boring bearded blokes in anoraks?

Electro can be annoying when it's cheap, but there are incredible breaks and electro tunes. When a track is innovative and tight without being cheesy, then it can kick on the dance floor. Girls love it! And women are extremely important on a dance floor. Sexy girls I need!

So some 'house' house 00s TUNES! anyway.

DJ Sneak 'Fix My Sink!'
Tim Deluxe 'Just Won't Do'
Derrick Carter 'Where U At'

does that le knight club song that goes "i'll be here for you/love was meant for two" fall under this blanket and if so what is this track's name?? it's been bugging me for, um, minutes now

Time Out

Nightlife - Previews - Ellen Allien

SECTION: Pg. 119

LENGTH: 441 words

Bugged Out, at the End, Saturday

Since championing the early techno sound in her home town of Berlin in the early '90s, Ellen Allien has pushed the electronic scene forward with the determination of a hyperactive person obsessed. Her own production (check her essential 'Orchestra of Bubbles', a recent collaborative long player with Apparat; we're caning 'Retina' in the office) flits between melancholic electronic folk and hard-edged dancefloor business, while her record label, B*Pitch Control, is simply one of the finest around. As for her DJ sets, well, might we suggest you rock on down to the Bugged Out hop to find out for youself?

Your label has boasted some of the biggest records over the past year or so. Do you feel pressure to constantly find the new 'Washing Up' by Tomas Andersson?

It shows me that a good track finds its way, no matter what. Thanks to Tiga for the remix! A label needs a track like this in order to survive. And it was nice to hear the track at festivals and see people singing along, recognising it - that's what makes a hit. This connects people, it's fun and has a lot of positive energy.

How do you find running your own label?

The team is great, so it's not a lot of work for me any more. It was hard to build the label, to find the right people. But now the basis is there. You have to have good people to work with, if not, it's really stressful.

Do you drop a lot of your own music in your sets?

Yeah, I play a lot of B*Pitch releases ... because I am a true fan of our music!

What's best about Berlin's scene?

Its diversity and development, its change. Everything is moving. Everybody is moving, too. People who come here push things forward. Art is big here. Berlin lets you breathe and is still affordable for artists. There isn't a lot of money here, but a lot of vibe and energy and ideas.

Is electro for boring bearded blokes in anoraks?

Electro can be annoying when it's cheap, but there are incredible breaks and electro tunes. When a track is innovative and tight without being cheesy, then it can kick on the dance floor. Girls love it! And women are extremely important on a dance floor. Sexy girls I need!

Does minimal house put you to sleep?

No, just boring minimal. Then I really have to go home. I love hypnotic minimal though. When it's trippy, groovy ... Then I cannot stop dancing.

They say Germans don't have a sense of humour. Tell us a joke.

The British humour is so much better indeed. When I hang out with Brits, it's always fun. There is definitely German humour as well, it's just kind of hard to understand. It's very dry, but funny.

Describe your DJ sets.

Hypnotic dance.

Interview: Simone Baird.

I've noticed that posts from the last couple of weeks are unsearchable. I don't know if this is a recent development or if it's normally the case.

A couple of reasons I think:

1) the fact that there were quite a few artists who were switching between UKG and R&B - not just Mis-Teeq, but Artful Dodger etc. Actually there are artists who've switched between UKG and house (MJ Cole obv, and a lot of producers like Grant Nelson have now gone back to making house entirely) but these tended to be the more unknown 'scene' producers - i.e. the exact people your other posts imply are less important to people's understanding of dance music.

2) grime was so obviously hip hop-aligned that it has retrospectively made the whole post-speed garage narrative seem more urban-based.

3) 2-step is just so easily co-opted into an R&B context - would we consider Usher's "You've Got It Bad" or Jem's "They" to be "dance music" over R&B?

Having said all the above, I do think it's wrong to over-emphasise the "urban"-ness of UKG - precisely because I don't think you can ignore the way this music was treated by people actually into the music as a scene (i.e. going out to clubs), as opposed to the hypothetical kids on the bus or Sharons & Traceys at Wetherspoons Pubs (sounds like the equivalent of the pubs in The Rock in Sydney). Despite the prominence of vocals, the majority of 2-step tracks weren't actually deathless chartbound pop songs set to the catapult their singers into successful R&B careers, but functional dance tracks designed to be played in the mix (ha ha you coould probably argue the same about R&B sets though I guess!)..

For me, leaving UKG out of this thread is entirely practical: my top 25 list for UKG would be as near and dear to my heart as my top 25 list of all house/techno, if not more so. I'd be here all day - and that list has been made countless times in other threads anyway.

No, just boring minimal. Then I really have to go home. I love hypnotic minimal though. When it's trippy, groovy ... Then I cannot stop dancing."

Ha ha, I totally understand this distinction, it gets it spot on!

from Wiki: Often, a person will post a sincere message about which he is emotionally sensitive. Skillful trolls know that an easy way to upset the person is to falsely claim that they are a "troll." In forums where most users are similar to each other, outsiders may be perceived as trolls simply because they do not fit into the social norms of that group. It can sometimes be difficult to distinguish between a user who merely has different values, views, or ideas, and a user who is intentionally trolling. This can lead to genuinely hostile behavior, including flame wars.
