sax with dance

conceited

What do you call saxaphone mixed with dance music .I love listening to dance mixed with instruments. What genre is it or is it not a "genre" Or am i daft and it's just a sax mixed with whatever house trance elctro etc.

Example

Its called 'saxosonique' music.

Okay, I'll take my tongue out of my cheek now. You are daft! But would think that certain types of music like acid jazz or nu jazz would feature it a lot more.

I find it very difficult to differentiate between the different genre's.
How on earth do you know what type your listening to ?
Haha thanks.

The technically minded can explain it all in terms of number of beats per minute, and then perhaps features like 'hoovers' and breakbeats used in rave or the gradual change in the structure of the tune that might signal progressive. But hard to beat just listening to tunes, maybe on something like youtube and reading the 'more info' section. You'll quickly get to distinguish between the main ones, house, techno, ambient, drum n bass, trance etc - the classic sound and pace of each is completely different. Once you listen to enough you'll easily pick up all the sub genres, say funky house or progressive house or minimal techno. There's no real art to it, its like figuring out the difference between punk and grunge and metal. Sometimes the borders can blur a little, and in general I'm not even sure the descriptions are that important at all. But guess if you're standing outside a club and it says 'trance' on the flyer you might like a fair idea of what you're facing.

Two anthems I can think of with a sax, or at least a sax sound, are

Guru Josh - Infinity
http://ie.youtube.com/watch?v=YNlDczS4YK4

808 State - Pacific
http://ie.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUhyFfuHGUg

And now for something completely different
FSOL - Far Out Son of a Lung and the Ramblings of a Madman
http://ie.youtube.com/watch?v=7g0sNbHWf9k
(Think thats a trumpet, or that jazz trumpet sound, that they use)

St Germain's 'Rose Rouge' - live version, so sound aint great, but you can see the sax player work his stuff...
