It's ironic people are moaning about Daft Punk when, like them or not, they're a gateway band for people to get into dance & electronica.

I also happen to enjoy them (shockingly) and believe that 2010's electronic scene will be entirely dominated by DP and remixes of their stuff. Material will be their own new album due as well as an epic Tron2 soundtrack (which is shaping up nicely, much much darker sound then previous DP records).

On top of this there's a lot of momentum behind Soulwax releasing a pile of stuff, which will also help draw fans in.

These types of acts might not be to everyones tastes, but they get people started, it's up to the newer acts to make decent music that people can hear. And outlets need to come, too. Radio Soulwax seems like an interesting project in that respect.

I don't think 2010 will be the mega year people want it to be for dance music, but it'll get the ball rolling in a really good way

It could be a good year for dubstep, so far a lot of dubstep has been people jumping on the bandwagon and throwing out cheesy remixes, so hopefully next year it will get a bit more refined, and we might see a few good albums come out.

Agreed they are rubbish, I would also love dance music to stay underground, really don't want a situation where all the electro pop folk flock to the techno nights because the see it as the done thing.

Clearly you've never tried to be a promoter so, I'd be absolutely delighted if all the electro pop folk flocked to our night because they saw it as the done thing... I'd never in a million years change the nature of what we do to please them or to attract them, but surely a club packed to the rafters with people is better than a half empty one?

personally id rather being at a gig with 100 genuinely interested people as opposed to 400 and the majority of them tossers, there for the scene.

If your worrying about numbers from the point of view of being a promoter, there are other, more accessible genres to promote.

hahaha. they're clearly very commercial tracks jonny, but let's all have another one of these arguments where everyone points out why you're wrong and you tell them it's their 'perogative' to disagree with you.

3...2....1....go!

Hopefully not! Going mainstream is never good for quality!
