I prefer Lady. It's all about that sexy bassline.

chap, Friday, 11 January 2008 12:52 (eighteen years ago)

prefer Stardust but also prefer 'Soup For One' to 'Fate'

blueski, Friday, 11 January 2008 12:54 (eighteen years ago)

I think "Music Sounds Better With You" is one of the most overrated dance songs of all time. "Lady" is still terrific. Better to dance to, better melody, better to DRIVE TO as well.

edwardo, Friday, 11 January 2008 12:57 (eighteen years ago)

stardust obviously

Billy Pilgrim, Friday, 11 January 2008 13:57 (eighteen years ago)

Can I vote for the Commodores song?

Geir Hongro, Friday, 11 January 2008 15:35 (eighteen years ago)

Didn't like either of them when they first came out, but I've warmed towards the modjo track.

If it was French, Sing It back.

I'm pretty sure this, or at least a TS with one of these tracks and another similar one, has been done before and I said something stupid like I liked the one that wasn't French more or something.

jim, Friday, 11 January 2008 20:16 (eighteen years ago)

both of those videos have a nice sense of nostalgia, but man, that modjo video is like a longtime dream of mine. to buy a beater for like 600$ and just drive it as far as it takes me.

jaxon, Friday, 11 January 2008 20:39 (eighteen years ago)

can anyone remind me what this song is: sorta french filtery. sorta ibiza-lite, but has big hipster appreciation. i think it's more recent. the video is following behind the sexiest girl walking in a bikini and going swimming.

Can't decide - these are two of the greatest dance tracks ever.

Spencer Chow, Friday, 11 January 2008 21:38 (eighteen years ago)

3rd option: Bob Sinclar's 'I Feel For You', Supermen Lovers 'Starlight' or Christian Falk 'Make It Right' (<< argh why is not on youtube)

blueski, Friday, 11 January 2008 22:34 (eighteen years ago)

This is no contest.

yep, stardust all the f'n way.

BATTAGS, Friday, 11 January 2008 22:43 (eighteen years ago)

if there were a third option in this poll, what would it be?

Armand Van Helden. Or Phats'n'Small. Or "One More Time" by Daft Punk.

If only "Flowerz" had been one of the options.

Eric H., Thursday, 31 January 2008 15:43 (eighteen years ago)

"Lady" is cheeseball shit for meatheads. "Music Sounds Better With You" is a perfectly executed neo-disco anthem that just happened to be enjoyed by meatheads.

Bodrick III, Thursday, 31 January 2008 20:58 (eighteen years ago)

I spent a month in Europe when these were both out and they're all I heard on the radio in 6 countries and I couldn't have been happier. It seems that on this thread "Lady" is underappreciated. The track missing from this poll is Spiller - "Groovejet". These three form a kind of triumvirate of pre-9/11 fin de siecle extravagant house.

Spencer Chow, Thursday, 31 January 2008 21:07 (eighteen years ago)

Never write anything like that last sentence ever again, please.

jim, Thursday, 31 January 2008 21:09 (eighteen years ago)

Oh sorry, I meant to write, "yeah dude, those tracks were awesome back-in-the-day".

Spencer Chow, Thursday, 31 January 2008 21:15 (eighteen years ago)

pls write more sentences like that spencer

max, Thursday, 31 January 2008 21:18 (eighteen years ago)

"fin-de-siecle" is one of my all-time fave phrases

max, Thursday, 31 January 2008 21:19 (eighteen years ago)

Both of these came out around the time of The war in Kosovo, so it wasn't all roses.

Bodrick III, Thursday, 31 January 2008 21:22 (eighteen years ago)

Thanks max, I really feel like this kind of millenium house became problematic after 9/11 and these were sort of the great anthems just before, when we thought history was over and we were all going to live in a future Studio 54 all the time (along with "One More Time" too).

xxxpost, Never really liked "Discopolis" much besides the name. I mean the bassline is great, but it really lacks the hooks, vocal or instrumental, that Stardust and Modjo both have.

Spencer Chow, Thursday, 31 January 2008 21:24 (eighteen years ago)

anyone who can dismiss Lady as 'cheeseball shit' is not to be trusted when it comes to disco, neo or otherwise.

jabba hands, Thursday, 31 January 2008 23:12 (eighteen years ago)

this is fucking stupid bullshit. a) if you thought that it was the end of history you were an idiot b) if you think 9/11 had such universal significance it would *stop people dancing* you are also an idiot c) if you thought the end of history would be like studio 54 must be kind of depressing for you i guess.

the next grozart, Friday, 1 February 2008 00:46 (eighteen years ago)

i really liked "chillin", loads better than "lady". but for the purposes of the thread stardust comfortably wins and that was a decent vote there.

or something, Friday, 1 February 2008 01:01 (eighteen years ago)

a) there was quite a bit of discussion at the time about "the end of history" in a broad sense - not that it would no longer be written, but that dramatic things like the cold war were basically over - obviously not the case, but there was a kind of fantasy about it.
b) I think that 9/11 certainly caused people to think differently about pop culture, especially music like this that celebrated frivolity and extravagance. I'm not the only person that thinks it had an effect on dance music - I certainly did not say that it stopped people from actually dancing, although I imagine in an acute sense that clubs in the weeks following were less than packed.
c) I of course meant it in a metaphorical way, in that Studio 54 stands for the complete abandon that the best disco and house music promises.

Spencer Chow, Friday, 1 February 2008 02:10 (eighteen years ago)

sorry that was an xpost to "That one guy"

"Chillin'" was great too, but Modjo will always be "Lady" to me.

Spencer Chow, Friday, 1 February 2008 02:14 (eighteen years ago)

yeah jeez enrique

i really liked "chillin", loads better than "lady"

yeah me too, and also the Aloud mix of 'What I Mean'

this has made my day

baaderonixx, Friday, 1 February 2008 09:34 (eighteen years ago)

Maybe time for us to do a CDR "Now that's what I call the end of history" mix with all this nostalgic filter pop.

baaderonixx, Friday, 1 February 2008 09:36 (eighteen years ago)

The correct answer to the original question being obviously Spiller - "Groovejet"

baaderonixx, Friday, 1 February 2008 09:37 (eighteen years ago)

Shakedown - At Night really came out two years too late.

Matt DC, Friday, 1 February 2008 09:52 (eighteen years ago)

love At Night but it's a touch more angsty than either of these maybe?

Probs my fave filter-disco record of the bunch. Interesting factiod: This track had a Vitalic remix before he was big.

Kinda nsfw video, btw.

Bodrick III, Saturday, 2 February 2008 18:01 (eighteen years ago)

MSBWY > Groovejet >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Lady

HI DERE, Saturday, 2 February 2008 18:05 (eighteen years ago)

Groovejet kinda came off as a Armand Van Helden rip to me. Similar sound to his "Professional Widow" remix 'cept less garagey. Good tune, though.

Bodrick III, Saturday, 2 February 2008 18:07 (eighteen years ago)

I agree with whoever it was saying that both these tunes are ridiculously fetishized & overrated in general. I prefer Modjo fwiw & have never found MSBWY anything special, in fact it more often sounds simply annoying & inhuman to me.

'At Night' prob. better than both of these really... & I have to confess to a crush on that girl (Moony?) aka D.B.Boulevard whilst here.

fandango, Saturday, 2 February 2008 23:43 (eighteen years ago)

IS BOB SINCLAR A PEDO

Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Saturday, 2 February 2008 23:46 (eighteen years ago)

have never found MSBWY anything special, in fact it more often sounds simply annoying & inhuman to me.

Big part of the track's charm is the fact that the vocal sounds a little bit out of context, as if it has been sampled. BUT that distance gives it a real melancholy feel, making it all the more "human". Outside of time or whatever...

Modjo was just some bandwagon jumping horseshit for the blue WKD crowd, a year later as well. Phats and Small fall into this category too.

Bodrick III, Sunday, 3 February 2008 02:27 (seventeen years ago)

groovejet sounds nothing like professional widow - other than being based around a guitar loop

blueski, Sunday, 3 February 2008 14:03 (seventeen years ago)

Slap bass loop, touch of latin percussion...not a direct rip, but you can hear the connection. There's some "You Don't Even Know Me" in there as well.

Bodrick III, Sunday, 3 February 2008 14:26 (seventeen years ago)

House records in cross-pollinating and influencing one another shocker.

Matt DC, Sunday, 3 February 2008 14:29 (seventeen years ago)

I'm sorry I missed this! Modjo, of course.

Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Sunday, 3 February 2008 14:33 (seventeen years ago)

Yeah, of course, I said I liked Groovejet. Van Helden had a couple of huge hits while still making cool, credible records, was reportedly charging half a mil for a remix, course people are gonna be influenced by him. And I'm sure he was in turn influenced by DJ Sneak, DJ Gusto, Todd Edwards, all that stuff. I like to think about it.

^^^ this is true.

a) there was quite a bit of discussion at the time about "the end of history" in a broad sense - not that it would no longer be written, but that dramatic things like the cold war were basically over - obviously not the case, but there was a kind of fantasy about it.

for fucking rubes and hubristic neo-cons at the time, yeah.

b) I think that 9/11 certainly caused people to think differently about pop culture, especially music like this that celebrated frivolity and extravagance. I'm not the only person that thinks it had an effect on dance music - I certainly did not say that it stopped people from actually dancing, although I imagine in an acute sense that clubs in the weeks following were less than packed.

i don't think house is all about extravagance rly, or even "frivolity" -- like, compared to what? i can vaguely remember the "new seriousness" of september-october 2001, but the idea that 9/11 banished extravagance and frivolity from our pop culture is o_O to the max. this Changed Everything rhetoric is pretty US-centric anyway.

c) I of course meant it in a metaphorical way, in that Studio 54 stands for the complete abandon that the best disco and house music promises.

ech -- more of a jet-set wankerthon surely? cokey sleb hang-out -- the place to see andy warhol in, uh, 1977... and not that much to do with the best disco music. is that a good metaphor for what the 90s ought to have been? i suppose it depends.
