Dance Music: Where are things at?

I get that we're old and not supposed to get it and I totally get that. But then again I saw more life in my great aunt dancing to 'country roads' at an Irish wedding than anyone in that video

I just watched some it again and the crowd are literally kids. I was wearing flares to Camden Palace a year after everyone else stopped at that age...let them get on with it - half of them will grow into liking what we'd think is better.

Can't really understand how this blokes sells in Ibiza though?
 
Dj Jean already was a legend 16 years ago, as argued by the showboy himself in this epic interview. It's in sort of dutch but I think you'll get the point, in 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... 🚀

So many people around Europe playing slow, dark techno now. Hard kickdrums and dark wailing, garbled lyrics, heavy basslines. Ok in moderation but after 8 hours it actually does your head in.

Circle of life/techno. I remember all the fast hard stuff from 90s being replaced with the down tempo very boring minimal sound of the 00s. Then came back with some reimagined harder stuff again.

Would assume techno will go back underground again and disappear for a few years but unlike trance, it will return again.
 
There's so many different 'techno' scenes now which don't overlap that much. I just spent about 72 hours in France basically immersed in one continuous dark loop and thought I might go mad. The crowd were so nice though I just let it go
 
think i need more context to establish an opinion, but then again, I'm not sure I really care all too much

are DJs from Detroit often overlooked and uncredited? most definitely. are they immune for being ostracised as individuals for being weasels? no.
 
Dance music got caught between commercial stage wankers at one end of the scale and preachy virtuous merchants at the other (and in some cases even overlap..)

the good guys sail under the radar and just quietly play good tunes
