The Kernel Loaf Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 EDIT: and i havent even gotten into the darker/alternative stuff like Aphex Twin or Squarepusher. though the latter might even fall into "rave" which i think can also be considered as a sub-genre of dance...Squarepusher? Rave?Tom Jenkinson (AKA the pusher of squares) did have a techno side-project under the name Chaos A.D. , but apart from that, Squarepusher isn't rave at all.

Lemonade Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Ah, rave, now that takes me back.... There was a Dance Anthems special on early 90s rave on last Sunday, I almost wanked with nostalgia all the way through it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

betamax Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 Snafu is where its at for Dance music in the deen imo....Ive had the dubious luxury of clubbing in a lot of big cities (New York, Berlin, Amsterdam, Barca etc) and Snafu compares well with the best.

betamax Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 I've found very few aberdeen dance acts that I like... but I admit that I haven't really dug deep into it.I quite like some dance music.... but I hate trance and hard house... that stuff is just brain numbing.I also hate all that ministry of sound stuff that gets churned out' date=' just not my cup of tea at all.[/quote']you are possibly just hearing the wrong stuff (daytime radio pish), but theres a quite a bit Im sure you would dig. Its a wide genre thats still developing, and theres some good electro based stuff. I shall attempt to infiltrate your head with some soon!

betamax Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 Still' date=' it's no Manumission or Pacha![/quote']I dont think it tries to be to be fair. More like a small backsteet one in NYC or in Europe, like the ones that dont have a sign and you have to knock on a door (hoping its the right place) as there no doormen. Sofas, small dancefloor, good bar selection and relentless good sounds, low wanker quota and all the focus on the music.Aye I know theres doormen at Snafu but that simply cos we live in a shithole full of Neds.

That's also why I love Estaminet. It's always quiet and chilled out but they have ace DJs on every night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wax Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 Betamax is absolutely right. We're in no way trying to be anything like Manumission or Pacha. There may be some crossover with regards to special guests, but the concept behind Snafu is completely different. I think we're more along the lines of Cielo in New York.We're not to everyone's taste, but if the definition of everyone is people who frequent large, commercial discos and dance to the current Top 40 or wedding classics, then we're doing our job.As for Estaminet, it's a shame what's happened to that place. Neglect and a lack of standards has ruined a great destination for both food and socialising. I hope they get the place sorted out and back to what it used to be. The music's still as good as it used to be, but the place is just grubby. Still remember that time my Cream of Leek and <something> Linguini was drowning in milk. That was the last time I ate there.

bryn Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 Dance music automatically means it isn't a good clubWho can dance to rock music? Who goes to clubs not to dance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryn Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 Hard Normal Daddy was VERY rave-y.Was it? Doesn't 'rave' imply consistent 4x4 bass drum? I just hear jazz when I listen to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kernel Loaf Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 Hard Normal Daddy was VERY rave-y.No it wasn't. It was extremely jazzy, just like most of his material.Rave is very repetitive (as it is intended to be danced to), whereas Squarepusher is anything but samey. Clearly you haven't listened to Feed Me Wierd Things, Alroy Road Tracks, or Ultravisitor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
