What's the opposite to thanks? There should be a button for that.

Sorry but I just can't see how trad and dance music can mix without sounding completely naff. But best of luck with it, post your results and I'll have a listen anyway

Strong trad beats and bodhrán sounds could work with some dance melodies, just like latino beats go well in some house and detroit techno but if you just start trying to put a dance beat behind trad tunes then you're spot on-Its dire.

I'd say it would have to be a hybrid variant of Traditional Irish Music. Any normal Irish trad melodies with accordions, flutes etc just would not work....

Saying that, there was a tune 2 years ago which was one of The tunes of Ibiza that summer, and it had an accordion solo all the way through. Can anyone remember the name? God I hated that tune but everyone else seemed to love it..

Spot on. It could work if you used samples, and cut them up etc, but having whole trad tunes or melodies is going to sound awful.

basic dance/ house beats would not be enough to carry a trad sound, live electronic percussion and variety of foriegn drum is what im aiming at . playing a drum loop over on a drum machine /programme aint going to work only a percussionist playing electronic drum can make it work you have to have the same qualities as the trad members playing a full live production .

it was that steve mac track. which wasn't an accordion. It was a sample of the cafe penguin orchestra's 'Music For a Found Harmonium'. Which isn't Irish by any stretch of the imagination. We had a thread about it if i remember correctly.

that track really pissed me off on many levels, the worst being the cultural ignorance. And the fact that the original is one of the best pieces of music of the past 30 years. And the video with fcukin leprechauns. And the fact that it was called 'Paddy's Revenge' (imaginative title Steve!).All in all, that track pissed me off.

irish traditional music vary,s a lot get the right sound and not so much diddley i diddly music throw in a deep base african drum with sequencers samplers the like .some not so heavy electronic percussion live of course and you might get an idea of what the finished product should sound like your live trad band would not be playing a constant tune but cutting out and in maybe solo parts from diff instruments ,
