| A few years ago, after reviewing my fair share of techno 12-inches for this website, I started to feel like dance music wasn't about anything anymore. Which isn't to say the music wasn't good. What was missing was the point. In its earliest days, or so I've read, house was a feeling and techno was the future. When I received a promo in the mid-2010s, what seemed to matter most was if it was peak time, or not. Perhaps as a result, I started to crave music that evoked an authentic sense of place. One that reminds me, as I scan through hundreds of tabs and hyperlinks per day, that the floor really is solid and people truly do speak and music has a meaningful story. I wanted to feel the passion of real scenes, fostered by people with the kinds of joys and struggles that force one to seek escapism through art. Turns out, there are many versions of these people and this place. In dance music, we were just living in a bubble. One of the 2010s' most exciting changes was its focal shift from Western Europe to other places around the globe. These sounds and the individuals behind them combined electronic club music with culturally traditional styles, amounting to some of the freshest ideas I've heard in years. |
What's also quite telling in that list is the almost complete lack of records that could be played in a normal club setting in the decade that brought rave back.
It's just feels kind of dispassionate overall, like they're just ticking off boxes. It's not even a good home listening list, there's almost nothing from the burgeoning ambient and neoclassical scene. (I discovered this site recently though, which covers that stuff really well - https://stationarytravels.wordpress.com/)

I think the use of "scene" rather than "scenes" was deliberate. I've definitely found a lot of neoclassical creeping into my listening over the last half decade, and it does feel like there's more overlap there than ever with ambient. Not just in terms of composers integrating more electronics but also blogs, playlists and algorithms more readily associating the two.
For what it's worth, the tracks list is much better and actually somewhat representative on what was played in house, techno & bass music clubs:
