Where do ya's draw the line.....

es-cee

as regards dance music?

is there a genre/genres ya just wish ya could bury? what are your musical limitations, not preferences?

just got the idea from the hardstyle thread tbh, and am very curious if the lot of you are really staunch house and techno heads.

probably crash and burn in its 1st day this thread, but ya never know do ya?

Psyhouse is only played live by arseholes. Very few people on a night out ever want to hear it. There's a certain amount of crowd pleasing that should be done, and being a genre-snob only gets you labelled as a shit DJ. Of course, I'm not saying that only top 40, deadmau5 and rubbish dubstep should be played, but really, there is a certain amount of selling out that must be done if you plan to earn any money at it, and you must play a few songs that the audience likes. Nothing worse than a DJ on stage who is only entertaining himself.

tbh mate, i hate people tellin me what i should and shouldn't listen to, old or new!

i fcukin love late 80's house! acid house is what got me into dance at about 7/8 years of age, so i have alot of love for it no matter what any1 has to say.

other than that, i suppose trance after late 96, would be a big no from me, got very cheesy in late 97 early 98!

Same here.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, this forum is like Royston Vasey a lot of the time. A techno place, for techno people.

I really don't see why people get their noses out of joint about it though when, generally, there'll be a couple of people in agreement even if the bulk of replies are negative or slagging. Take a look in any football forum for a comparison. 90% of people are likely to support 5 or 6 teams and the other 10% will be in for a rough ride defending their choice of team. There's a world of statistics available to settle most football arguments yet people still won't always agree.

Its all music, however I do think its a bit sad holding onto the past. Sounds have moved on, finding new sounds that I like is what its all about for me.

i think your right in one sense, and in another i don't. while i embrace new tunes, ya can never forget what went before, for the simple fact that ya wouldn't have what ya have now only for the pioneers of the day that made it possible.
i love oldskool anything really, don't think theres a genre of oldskool i don't like, but if it wasn't for oldskool ya wouldn't have what you listen to now, so in that sense i think oldskool is fcukin cool man.

any1 agree?

Billy Mays

Hard house, trance (post mid 90s) and hard trance (no offense Asylum faithful) can all get the boat as far as I'm concerned

Yeah, apparently he's a cyborg used by the reptilians to mass brainwash society. There's a whole thread about it in the conspiracy theory forum.

If we agree its electronic then yes, he should be fúcking buried.

jeddie20

Never said anything about electronic? But if you want to make a bit of money at this then as someone said before me you have to play some chart songs.. Just giving an opinion like anyone else..

Fair enough, this is the Electronic Music forum though, bit like posting a Rap in an Indie thread

Well its all relative really, i though it was all going shít about 1998 meself & was major dissapointed with creamfileds 2000.

chemical brothers were the only saving grace of that festival.

What Dubstep have you listened to? I'm very interested to hear...

electrogrimey

Genres I like

House & most sub-genres
Techno
Dubstep/garage/bass etc
Drum & Bass

Genres I don't like

Psytrance
Trance
Heavy dubstep (Datsik etc)
Heavy techno (Surgeon etc, although I imagine I might grow into it)
Disco
Electro-house
Hard house/oldskool/gabber etc

was.deevey

The only Line I draw is between what I will play and what I wont play

That line consists of Good or Bad

old gregg

I was spacing away at some half arsed dj at Knockanstockan around 5am on sat morning when he put on the Beatles. The line drew itself pretty snappy on that caper

other than that, not keen on trance, dubstep and gabber. am pretty fond of the old techno though

Do i know you? why would you be interasted in what i like and don't like?

you don't see anyone else here "questioning" other peoples likes and dislikes? in other words i know where your going with this :pac:

EDIT : Can you genuinely recommend some quality dubstep, I have tried but just didn't do for me.

a rather large line-unless though it was

then i'd be hunting out "the man"

Logical Fallacy

I used to dislike a load of genres, but digging deeper i found stuff from all of them i quite like.

Still not fond of psytrance though.

Labels like Swamp81, Hotflush, Hessle Audio, NMBRS, Deep Medi, Black Box, Nonplus+, Punch Drunk. They all release quite different music, but it all mostly goes under the really broad label of dubstep. There's definitely something in there for everyone.
