For me, one of todays problems with dance music is that its too genre based. Id like to hear a bit more diversity in a set more often.

Eg just been listenin to some upto date electro and although I quite like it it gets a bit much after a while and a bit samey

I heared an old Hacienda mix the other day and how refreshing it was to hear a little bit of everything... house, garage, techno etc

Diversity still does happen ;)
 
There is shit new dance music just as there is amazing new dance music... just as there is shit old dance music & amazing old dance music - it's all subjective.

However proportion-wise I'd say the years 1988 (& before) to about 1994 are so special - because everyone is still chasing tunes from this era - & they still command a price. That is why they are called 'classics'.

The two tunes above were created in 1984 & were played on reel to reel tape & adored before even being finally pressed on vinyl in 1985 & 1986. They were both so ahead of the game for the time & even today are revered, respected & loved... you only have to listen to the crowd reaction whenever they are dropped to see this.

But then they weren't created in the be-all & end-all universe that is Manchester so they don't count :rolleyes:

Likewise you can NEVER create the buzz from back in the day... it was new, fresh, exciting, naughty & NOTHING like it had gone before.

Easty, no offense son, but you are wrong - you weren't there back in the day & you I doubt you remember growing up in Thatchers Britain... with the exception of Blues parties everything closed at 2, you had to wear a suit to get into a club & the music was shite.... Acid House & Raving changed everything

I'm sorry if this comes as a shock but there is a huge great big world outside of the M60 circular
