Originally posted by SYSTEM-J Yeah, some old PVD livesets would be wicked. I remember Sasha saying in an interview he used to play at E Werk regularly in the mid-90s, and PVD would come on after him. That must have been fucking unreal, given the two were both at their absolute peak at the time.

I have a lot of stuff on my old hard drive which I will get access to when I go home to my parents house for the holidays. I will upload some stuff when I get back. I also have some really cool old Sasha sets, from the real progressive house days before it really became progressive trance, and some Sven Vath sets where he is playing trance and hard techno which are also really interesting and would probably frighten the crap out of the majority of his cocoon label fans from today.

On the RA album list, I cant believe the Scuba album wasnt ranked. That was probably my second favorite album after Solar Fields album. Really strange.

Found this online. Its mislabeled as this is from 1994 at tresor and not 1997, no way he was playing these tracks in 97. Also i think whoever uploaded it, put the tape side b first then tape side a.

the quality isnt the best but gives an idea of what was actually being played at that time. Ill upload other ones when i get a hold of them.

Paul Van Dyk Live at Tresor Berlin 1997-16-01 by Classic_House_Mixes on Mixcloud

Elektrostatik was so far ahead of it's time it's not even funny. It sounds like something that only could have been made in the last 4 years, stylewise. And it still sounds monstrous in a club.

top tracks is out!

meh. thought there were a lot of better tracks that fit even the ra model or scene better than the ones they have. I did love time though.


UPDATE:

For instance, take inspector norse. Its a fun big room song but to me i have a hard time telling it apart from the cheesy swedish house mafia or aviici sound. Its the hipster equivalent of levels. No real substance behind the beats. Meanwhile the big room sound that was done right, Scuba-Action, isnt even on the list.

Mark Anthony bought 10 vinyl copies of "New For U" to celebrate the #1 rank.

Well, under the right circumstances, Inspector Norse, does exactly what it needs to do, in the CLUB .

I agree actually, not saying I hate the song but there were better big room songs this year in my opinion and just because a song is a banger on the dance floor does that mean its the second best song of the year? The song to me just doesnt have enough depth to it.

I actually liked a decent portion of that list... Inspector Norse being a favorite of mine this year of course. But what's up with that one horrific trap song they had nominated? Or the first song they had a sample of? Both sound so ridiculously amateur.

And surprised not to see Disclosure's Control on there, or anything from Maceo or Eats Everything.

Hahaha, NO Scuba, which I find hilarious. So many blogs seem to be basically saying "SCUBA HAS GONE CHEESE MINISTRY OF SOUND LOL BYE". Whatever.

I actually can't disagree with a lot of this list, honestly.

How many times have you seen PvD and Sasha?

Oh, give it a rest with this idiot-logic.

Didn't think so.

Standard RA affair if you ask me, nothing to see here. Lots of great tracks. My only surprise is that nothing Ostgut made it.

The answer is not zero, incidentally, I'm just not giving your spastic argument the oxygen of publicity.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

As ever, I don't give a fuck whether you believe me or not, because again there are other TAs who can verify that I'm not lying.

That's true in a way, first time I gave Inspector a listen, at a friends house it was, with average monitors, I actually skimmed through it because I wasn't getting into it, and then I've heard it again in a couple of mixes, it didn't grab my attention either, and then I saw Gilles Petterson, and during his marathon he dropped it, and then me along with 500 more people went berserk (In a good way)..

So since they're charting dance music I think it has earned It's place, I agree it doesn't have that much depth, but it definitely makes the cut, and in a unique way of It's own.

Besides you said you liked "Time" so, there's a song with depth, and It's 3 places below Inspector, so I don't have a logical explanation of the ranking system, besides impact and longevity.

P.S. Surprised to see so little techno.. Probably because It's hard to choose a standout techno track, for me anyway, I see them all as one long flow.

My main point is that a song like Scuba-Action has just as much big room bounce to it. Killer live, but completely ignored bc apparently RA and the nazi moronic hipsters who read it have decided that scuba has sold out. Meanwhile they all love a track which is even more of a big room sound.

Oh wow. Wow wow wow wow. Those comments on the RA post are just SLFJLSKaklsdfj;alskfj;asdkjf;awieojfpo;

RA is like 70% house. Not that surprising.

INSPECTOR NORSE SUCKED MY PENIS IN A WAREHOUSE ONCE

TRUE STORY

Originally posted by Sykonee Claude played at Shambhala this year. Naturally, I fucked off to go catch Longwalkshortdock instead, who was playing at the same time. Here's what he did at the end: That, my friends, is how you put on a show!

HOLY FUCKING SHIT

Quite a good list imo. Joy Orbison put out some quality stuff this year with Ellipsis being my favourite.

You don't even need that, a reputation of not being full of shit is good enough.
