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!
[deleted] get to fuck, you piece of shit.
Ravesignal 3 is good but sounds both the most ‘techno’ and the least ‘pop’ of the lot.
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.

It’s Quadrophonia . It matters.
[deleted] it’s probably time for bed, Flares, you tired, withered old cunt that you are.

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.

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!
Hugo v Flares is a real battle of wits.
Digweed is much worse and less relevant than he was in the late 90s.
So we’re agreed he was crap in the 90s? Better tell wire and latte 42.
How was the Berlin Love Parade ‘EDL goons’?!?! Lol.
Alec Empire can tell you of nazis hailing trance-techno as a true aryan dance music!
Also, how is this pop?!
Italo disco updated for the 90s. Listen to Cyber People - Void Vision from 1985!
How is Armin ‘Virgo’ pop?!?!
Good job deploying his disposable Junior Vasquez rip off but ignoring Communication, Blue Fear, etc.
