    which is obvs a reference to this.

    [deleted] that Praga Khan track is cheese.

    Ravesignal 3 is good but sounds both the most ‘techno’ and the least ‘pop’ of the lot.

      Everyone stopped making disco at the start of the 80s, doesn’t mean it had “failed” either.

      No they didn’t.

      The Dutch and German cheese merchants briefly jumped on the electroclash fad as well, before mostly abandoning any kind of dancefloor sensibility in the pursuit of pop crossovers / radio play, together with generic stadium filler. Don’t see how that has any more to do with “integrity”.

      Exactly! thanks for proving my point. They were pop, and logically followed the path they embarked on.

        “Paul van Dyk without breakdowns” isn’t really a diss either, PvD had some excellent moments in the 90s.

        No he didn’t, music strictly for EDL goons. But still preferable to centrist long kesh stronger prog house types because he was at least honest.

          Tech house and minimal also both died much quicker than prog had when people realised they were just making dull music.

          Is that why Digweed still plays kompakt, Pig and Dan, etc whilst he will never play all the Armin Van Buuren and Transa Dross he was playing in ’97? Great argument my main man!

            well, it got played on daytime radio, along with quadrophenia.

            The same can’t be said for West on 27th.

              Along_the_Wire it’s ok boss, I have your divorce nicely arranged. You’ll soon be a contented man, suffering much less from old man butthurt syndrome. Just give it a week.

                Would have been an interesting remix, I’m sure, but sadly not.

                How were they pop? They certainly didn’t start out making pop.

                How is Armin ‘Virgo’ pop?!?!

                Also, how is this pop?!

                ‘For An Angel’ was also an 8 minute long, basically instrumental club track which was a hit because it was a cracking tune, not because it was wanting to be pop music.

                  [deleted] No he didn’t, music strictly for EDL goons

                  How was the Berlin Love Parade ‘EDL goons’?!?! Lol.

                    Digweed is much worse and less relevant than he was in the late 90s.

                    Meanwhile, DJ Mag’s No. 1 techno/alternative DJ’s biggest tune was an (admittedly dross) remix of Age of Love.

                      To shoe horn an infamous NI prison from the good old days of the 70s or 80s deserves a tip of the hat. Even if it makes no sense whatsoever. In any shape or form. Well done slawsy, you weapon!
