Looking back, it's as though the scene was so sickly in 2005 that the only people left going to clubs were the real wreckheads, the ones so fucked you could take 90% of the music out and they'd still try and dance to it. Dark days.
Yeah, really not feeling this track either. There are a few good tracks that came out of the mnml storm, some (not all) Villalobos for example but most of it was and is utter garbage.

This track is atrocious.
Approx. 2005-2009 was like the dark ages of electronic dance music

At least dubstep was good then
I think 2007-2009 were pretty good. 2007 had a lot of seminal records and 2008/2009 were around the time real techno and house came back. Also great crossover with dubstep when it was still fresh.
2002-2006 were fucking garbage though. Like every genre of electronic dance music went to absolute shit somewhere in that time frime. Mcprog, mindless tribal techno, jump up drum & bass, shitty funky house, electro house, mnml, microhouse, anjuna trance and the list goes on. Dear god.
