Unbroken1 Don’t get me wrong, I love proper house music, but clubbing was always about a sonic experience, listening to new sounds and enjoying the unpredictability of the ride, fill a night with tracks that people already know and that dynamic is very flat IMO.
Well said. Seems it’s just a difference of perspective. People who listen to the radio (or, well, used to) seemed to have no problem hearing the same song over and over again. They knew it. They could sing along, The liked the familiarity. I think most of us are the complete opposite. A well placed classic can do wonders but I like the feeling of “oh what the fuck is this” far more. Trying to figure out what it was. Trying, back in the record days, to hunt it down. That was all part of the fun. But we’re the minority for sure. Look at hip hop clubs. They all play the same 30 songs from the past 30 years ’cause that’s what most people want.
