    Nothing wrong with house, in my mind. If someone starts a mix with house tunes, that's fine, but move onto the trance later.

    I hate trance. It's been a creative dead end for about 10 years now. (IMO natch, before Vicky throws another hissy fit)

    Dance music has kinda peeked in my opinion. There are now two types commercial drivel and that produced by DJ's and record labels who are right up their own arses.

    Time to step back and go old school, for the younger of you out there dig up some old stuff from the very late 80's to the mid 90's there is gold to be found if you aint heard it before. Im currently enjoying Shades of Rhythm, Bizzare inc, Prodigy etc as well as old school DJ sets from the likes of The Rat Pack, Jumpin Jack Frost, Grooverider etc...

    Look, there's nothing wrong with the past. I think we should indeed celebrate the earlier dance tracks. But we shouldn't be held hostage to it. The scene now is not the same one as when it was starting out in the late 1980s.

    dance has been around before the late 80's

    Well yes, I'm just referring to when the Strings Of Rhythm records and the like were first seen. Dance music is of course a mixture of other music. House, for instance, was preceded by disco, there's no hiding from it.

    i don't think any music has a definitive root...maybe the first sounds or whatever but all styles have an influence...that influence is developed and messed about with to create a new unique one...thats why i think there'll always be music and it'll never become too mundane though it's been gettin shitty this past while...all genres included.

    I'll agree with that. I think dance music is in unchartered territory nowadays, all much more commercial. There'll always be good music out there. Sadly, there's always be crap music too.

    yes but sadly there's more crap than good...it saddens me when people mention dance they conjour up images of cheesy tunes with some girls voice over the top...i supose some of it is listenable but there's so much more variety in dance that people are oblivious to and is forcing so many sub-genres into the underground...but is that really a bad thing

    Trance is better than HardStyle by far. HardStyle is not musical what so ever, it has no decent rythem and it will never change but being at 170BPM or what ever it is, with a few wanky tech synths in it.

    Dance music is not dead, but it's dying. I have no interest in any commercial rubbish like Call On Me but there are talented DJ's out there, and there is allways Underworld to fall back on.
