Current trend of old rave riffs, pop vocal samples and higher BPMs

Poll added. I’m a fan. I just turned 45 and what people are playing now in regards to the guestion makes me feel young again.

Dan Judging by his latest one it’s a defiant Narp from me.

I’m liking a lot of the music from “The Idol”. Not generally a fan of pop though.

@SM001 I was so into this when a mate played it at our midsummer-party.

I posted the original (instrumental) of that tune on here when it came out 5 years ago - I think I might have said it was the tune of the year as well. But you all ignored it.

That vocal on top if it is an abomination.

SM001

Homegrove Works a treat. (Sorry Hugo) Not a good example of what you described in the original post though.

Homegrove Worried that I’m with Hugo on this one, that vocal is fucking horrific. 😅

A similar “trend” which pretty much meets Hannu’s description in the thread title has been going on in techno for a few years as well, except in that case “higher bpms” has equalled more like 150+ bpm.

SM001 Ariane Grande is not pop enough for you? Don’t apologize to Hugo, ignore him.

hugopal

Homegrove Don’t apologize to Hugo, ignore him.

Maybe you’d have discovered that Barker tune way earlier if you didn’t.

But I do have to reiterate, sticking that vocal on it is vandalising a cracking track.

SM001

Homegrove I was thinking more “bouncier” tunes.

I also posted the below track on here last year (wondering if rhouses might dig the vocal sample) and to me it also sounds like the sort of thing Hannu is talking about. DJ Heartstring almost exclusively make and play this kind of stuff and their tracks have been quite popular in some techno circles lately.
