Your opinion on Eurodance back then, and now in 2024?

Probably about 10-13 years ago I used to think eurodance was considered commercial pop cheese, and it probably was at the time. Eurodance borrowed a lot of influence from the emerging electronic music scene of the golden era, but it was still commercial.

Reflecting back now in 2024, eurodance wasnt that bad. Sure some are really cheesy but I think sometimes eurodance is easier to listen to than trance. But trance will always be better imo.

Does anyone think 90s-00s eurodance is still better than most of the stuff in the radio out today?

Anyone care to share some good eurodance tunes btw?

the more eurodance tunes I discover, the greater appreciation I have for the genre. Tracks like Haddaway - What Is Love is a classic, but there's also other incredible tracks as well.

Don't forget tracks like this but I have created euro dance tracks which you've heard personally I think the track I made sound better than the current tracks being made in the commercial dance scene.





More house/synth pop



Similar to Jamiroquai

It was always at its best when borrowing from trance of the day. Jam & Spoon, Dance 2 Trance, Snap!'s Rhythm Is A Dancer, and this little gem of an act that really needs more modern love...

At the point now where I can’t listen to another euro dance song without getting mad. Overexposed to it for far too long

al-andalus will once again prevail from his ashes and that will be his music. There no lite pianos, immortal team in this 92-94 will not budge. barbaric ideal ... 100% sulfuric, acid, baader meinhof anger to make the brain float as if it were a chainsaw slaughter for components that constantly evaporate your body with proper Prussian performance... sleepwalk myself I don't need to buy opium, José Mourinho does it perfectly.
They talk a lot about jail lifting destruction, reform, but they are too riggly chicken to add a pirate radio station to our boys and girls to use FM radios in the lonely madhouse. It's not as difficult as it was in 90ies, it's not even case of VHS anymore
I wonder what we mean happened with DJ DSL. The tried and true old bunker and drop bass subsist in 45 + 8 and confuse them 94 times with early terror / lost hardcore. Serious nightmares, bad things. 💣

I loved Eurodance. We called it just "Dance" here in Mexico. Thanks to that style I discovered Trance. One of the tracks that really got me was Encore Une Fois by Sash!

Nowadays all the music uses a lot of Compressors so old Electronic Dance Music sounds somewhat weaker overall but definitely there are still beautiful tunes. Even the cheesy ones.

Eurodance was kinda mainstream in Mexico during 1989-1999. Last year I went to a Dance event with Wighfield, Crystal Waters, Jenny from Ace of Base... So there's still a small market (and love) for Eurodance nowadays!

I see what you mean. There are TAs who grew out of trance once they became young adults. For me personally, I still bump uplifting trance depending on the track.

You might like this but it was quite popular from 2002-2004 where they had those hands up in the air tracks with the vocal samples

that track would've been good enough to be released on Tidy Trax back in the day.
