Just a little topic I though I’d open to discussion – Do you restrict the tunes you listen to to one specific type of underground dance or are you quite happy to genre hop?
I recently saw a couple of threads on dontstayin.com where a couple of techno heads were really rippin it out of the hard-house fraternity and whilst I’m sure there was a certain amount of tounge-in-cheekness about it, I do find it odd that some folks feel such a strong aversion to other forms of what is fundamentally one larger scene (electronic rhythm based music).
Me, I would like to publically declare that I LOVE all genre’s of dance:
I love techno first cause that’s when I first tranced myself out
I love Hardocre for it’s overexcitability
I love Trance for it’s sonic imagery
I love hard-dance and hard house equally for the gurning grin they put on my face
I love D’nB for its badness
I love Gabba for it’s ridiculessness
I love house for it’s ponseyness
I love oldskool cause that’s basically where it all began
I love tech-house and tech-trance cause they bridge gaps
I even love Speedgarage and Bassline House though they make me feel cheap! (just kidding!)Then there’s the links historical and otherwise between genres – oldskool begat hardcore and D’n’B as far as I can see, House, Techno, Trance and other hard dance crosspollinates itself all the time. This is all good as far as I can see – inbreeding is never healthy :crazy_fre
I find that the stuff I listen to goes in cycles with the seasons – winter is totally for techno and hardcore, summer is much more a housey affair (oh – and techno, always with the techno :bigsmile: )
Anyway – I’ve rambled on long enough – what do you think?
January 25, 2006 at 8:58 pm #1068512indeed all music that is good music is good music
good music is music made by someone because they love it, not because they want to make a buck
i listen to music from techno to rock steady reggae to hip hop to harcore to dub to dylan to jazz to electro to world to punk
we’re the only species that can dance
so make the most:bounce_o:

younger brothernot all “dance” but i can dance to them all and i don’t know if you class them as underground but i like them 😀
January 25, 2006 at 11:04 pm #1068511I have my favourites and that’s what I listen to the majority of the time. Namely: Techno, Breakbeat, Old School and Drum & Bass
They may be my favourites but I enjoy loads of other music, sometimes even classical and the like (although I can’t handle opera).
I think it’s a shame when people shut themselves off to other types of music and wont let themselves enjoy it.
Music is fakin wicked, and if i didn’t have it in my life I don’t know where I’d be right now.
January 25, 2006 at 11:10 pm #1068510I listen to pretty much ll genres of urban music as well as a fair bit of rock/pop/ska etc (mostly from the 1980s). Our crew (ketwork32) even has a “wrong” session where we play 70s/80s tunes, as does HDFK (they did this at synthetic circus)
The only things I’m not that keen on are UKG and R&B/rap tunes which have violent/negative lyrics – I do feel that because music is powerful – its a bit fucked up making a living out of bigging up all that violence and degradation of women and encouraging youths to follow you…
Even if people are musically talented they are using their talent for the wrong reasons – its like in the war zones where people make up songs to sing about killing the enemy… I don’t mind political comment (there is a lot in some 80s tunes) but not keen about stuff like bragging about wanting to kill all your enemies entire family and the street culture of violence and guns
February 3, 2006 at 10:00 am #1068517FOR DANCING:
HOUSE, HOUSE AND A LITTLE BIT MORE HOUSE!
D&B FOR MY STRAIGHT NIGHTS(LONG STORY)
LATE 70S EARLY 80S DISCO/FUNK.
AND ANY OTHER DANCE MUSIC EXCEPT UKG, NO ANGER FOR ME!(WELL I HAVEN’T LISTENED FOR ALONG TIME SO IT MIGHT HAVE CHANGED!)
FOR LISTENING:
I’M TOTALY OPEN MINDED SO………….ANYTHING!February 9, 2006 at 12:40 pm #1068515Personally, I can’t understand why people get so purist about music. What they are doing is closing themselves off to the possibility of finding something else that they love.
My favourite is psy trance, but I will never say no to Techno, Breaks, DNB, Jungle, Reggae, Dibdub, Acid, House, etc etc etc. My only regret is that I will never live to hear all the great music that’s out there. 😥

I hate that stuff and I believe that it is powerful enough to encite violence. And there seems to be SO MUCH of it on the satellite music channels.:rant:
But other than that, bring it on!

February 17, 2006 at 11:15 am #1068513I’m with you guys for sure, I hate the idea of being stuck with only one otype of music and people who shut everything else off do annoy me. All music is linked in some way and everything has come from everything else so i think its important to appreciate most types of music even if you don’t particularly like them. Of course I have my faves; dnb, funk, indie, hip hop but variety is the spice of life! :wave: raaa :satisfied
