I'm pretty sure someone who grows up listening to classic rock might frown upon, say, Muse or Sigur Ros, but it's still good music even if it's not "about" the same things classic rock used to represent. Trance =/= dance music. Get over it.

You ever been to a club?

Since there are no clubs or "raves" here we usually just dance at my apartment with my gf. Both with headphones on. And in the dark. It's fun. It's been a year since I was at a gig, should get traveling soon to get to know eu clubs but people who dance the most at gigs (in Finland), I say 50 % of them are really fucking high on something since they could never dance sober, especially if someone sees them do it.

If you have the right settings, do you go clubbing weekly? I know I would if there were any clubs around.

Yeah, many many threads in music discussion about the best trance to give birth to and shit. Not sure if that's really what its about. To me, dance music is best at home in clubs or at outdoor raves, or in dusty warehouses. Dance music is NOT at home anywhere you don't have room to spin around in circles while the pretty lights make your brain fizzy.

I honestly think that in all areas of EDM, the balance has been lost. There is now a huge split between ambient electronic and dance music, which I don't think occurred previously. Its like there's now a huge split between four on the floor and broken beat genres, and a huge split between drum and bass genres (over 160 BPM) and house based genres (under 140).

The net result is less music that blurs boundaries, more DJ sets that just find a groove and safely stick with it, more music that all sound the same. Theres no contrast in dance music anymore. I don't think ALL trance should be danceable, but I don't think that DJs should only play really dancey stuff either. The odd ambient track in a dance set is part of the beauty IMO.

PS
I go out 1-3 times a week (used to be 4 times/week a year ago) and like to dance, which isn't to say I'm good at it.

We should get a dance thread specifically made for posting videos of sweet moves. I could benefit from it, since my dancing looks like I'm just running stationary lol.

I cannot dance at all.

C'mon anybody can dance just move to the rhythm.

I'm starting to sound like a Zumba ad.

my one real talent as a producer is rhythm so the importance in a good bassline/groove pattern is there. but i dont hit the clubs these days so my shit tends to lead to more home listening. so its fair to say if you dont make shit geard for the clubs or cant make music for the clubs then the chances of a dj playing your work is slim
