all we've been seeing is it gaining popularity. It hasn't had time yet to even begin to grow old. Though to many scenesters the farting bassline's days are certainly numbered which isn't all too bad since there's plenty more good in electro. Giorgio Moroder certainly managed without any farting basslines!
For anyone who plays it though you certainly have to know HOW to play it.. because jesus christ if someone canes it for 2+ hrs straight it does my head in. It's like butter. Great on toast, in pasta sauces, and many things.. but not the best idea to sit down with a bowl of it and consume it til you get sick!

Minimal is already beginning to die a death.


There is so much shit being released in that mould it's unbelievable.

i guess this would be a perfect time for Armin and Tiesto to start playing it

honestly, i liked this fad since the beggining, i still do, but it's been beaten to death and there's so been so much shit released out there to take advantage of it. and when i mean so much, i mean SO FUCKING MUCH. so perhaps it's better for it to die.

uhmm yes it has, since 2005 most Djs have had crap tracklists with "electro" house. Thats long enough to get old, especially if every other DJ is playing it.

Theres shit being released in every single genre...the good DJ's will continue to find good music to play and the shit ones will lag and jump on a bandwagon later.

I've noticed that Sasha, Digweed, Howells etc have all stopped playing much electro...tech/minimal/prog and fusions of all three are being played more often...

Yeah, but since this is the 'in' thing, or atleast was until recently, the amount of people trying to cash in on it is overwhelming. I mean, I like the stuff, yet if I go to Juno and listen to the latest releases, it's a ratio of 70 shit records to 1 genuine good one. That's why I haven't cared for new releases in a while.

Bound to happen... More mainstream house is going to go in two directions

1. To the more minimal side of things

2. To the deeper/more natural side of things

I just hope some of it it goes a little more to the side of how more popular house was in 2002ish.

It sounds exactly like Kraftwerk.
