When do I talk about Sasha gigs?!

[deleted] Dance music has always been poppy, rnb influenced, commercial

Only parts of it.

[deleted] hedonistic gear

I don’t see how this is in any way synonymous with the “poppy, rnb influenced, commercial” part of your description. “Hedonistic” dance music can be all of, some of, and none of, those things.

[deleted] you just attach a weird attitude of authenticity for functional music

Err, that’s news to me.

I’ve got no idea who you are, and I don’t know how you can act as if you know me.

[deleted] which cannot ever truly offer the subcultural credibility and validation you so crave

Again, I’m not even sure why I’m responding to your post because you don’t appear to talking to me or about me, but rather shouting in to some imagined void.

[deleted] Own your lane

What the heck does this mean?!

                hugopal no, all of it. disco was the pop music of its day. if you can’t see this, you need to go back to school. This is why prog house failed. Tried to be something it couldn’t, logistically.

                    even 92-93 weapons grade industrial Jeff Mills was operating in a poppy p-funk lineage. just ask @zackster - the best techno is mutant alien pop.

                                I know that in its day some disco was pop music, and some pop music was disco. No idea what the fuck it has to do with whatever you’re blabbering on about though.

                                This is wrong, but again, not sure what it has to do with anything anyway.

                                        Surely while “suaving the Gyaldem” you’d rather be getting “into the weed” .

                                          Total longshot and vague description but can anyone recall a speed garage tune from about 97-98 that has a vocal in it that went something like “Fever…you give me fever… fever”? Was played quite a bit at the time - remember John Kelly and Judge Jules both playing it.

                                            Absolutely, everyone stopped making it after around 2001, and quickly jumped ship to tech house and mnml when they realised they were just making [paul van dyk without breakdowns. The Dutch and German cheese merchants had more integrity in this regard than the south coast numpties.
