In all the reading I've done, many articles about the early rave scene in North America make reference to the music being around 120 BPM, "about the speed of a heartbeat in the womb." Your conception of what constitutes "real rave" is skewed by your geographic and temporal locale.

Afterhours is a state of mind, but significantly, it's more a state of 'I don't mind'. A determined continuation, contentment and relief that 'it ain't over yet!' An injection of music into attitude and occasion which creates an emotional wave forth that isolates globally, a ringing harmonic, a signal to a like-minded collective that 'we are only us'.

DJs don't play hard because the drugs aren't good enough anymore....our heads would explode if we tried to dance to good ole hard beats

And you use the thesaurus too much for a forum post.

Hard beats have been replaced by quality elements in tracks, and quite frankly, trash on "Slow minimal house" all you want, but producers like Gui Boratto seem to be able to do no wrong. Bodzin, Woolford, Tom Pooks etc, these guys release quality track after quality track.

Like I said, these days, well thought out bassline + good (often repetitive, but still) melody + appropriate effects = good tune, the big techno and prog boomers just aren't as present or "in" right now, the big boomer tunes are falling under the "Electro House" category still, and usually consist of bloops and farty bass, + a melody that is the exact same note pattern as the bassline, but a different instrument.0

Music changes because people get bored and move on, whoever said prog is coming back is 100% right in my opinion, but it wont be that repetitive prog from 2000-2002, it will be more like the stuff Sasha and digweed used to play in 2003, crazy melodies, unique basslines and HIGHLY danceable, minus the "epic" prog flavor, I imagine the come-back-prog will be a bit funkier/happier and have ridiculous tech house elements in it, left over from that fad.

Just my prediction though, not based on anything substantial

You think that post requires a thesaurus?

Nando Dixkontrol... hard shit and number 19 on the dj list...

I agree, that for me, the music doesn't make me dance as much as it used to. Use to dance 60 hours per week, now can't even dance for more than 10 hours... I'm not the only one...how to explain that people stopped going out in afterhours and that all hard tech events are packed... But for me Offer Nissim is like Madonna... good commercial music on the radio, that's all.

Miss Preach a lot... in fact the only places i've danced my head off in 2007 was at Bal en Blanc (during Wizz and during Preach), Allnight at Radar07 (which was quite hard enough, Nick Pilon (what a set man!!!), DJ Dan and King Louis killed me playing their harder stuff), Bad Boy Bill @ circus, Ferry Corsten @ Circus, MP3 with Pat Cara and Michel Simard, Franco Fabi at House, Beach Club & Circus, Hugo Turenne @ Stereo, Michel Simard @ Stereo and @ Circus, Just Jonathan @ Stereo bar and the year started with Derric Carter and Steve Lawler @ Circus, also Creamer & K @ Tribe was not bad at all for my kind of dancing... Not all of them are really hard properly said, some of them don't even play my preferred style, but they bring the hard edge out of their music. Also, checking my list again...it depends on the mood you're in before attending the event...and yes the drugs are a factor...who tooked GH or K at Aria?...no one that i know of...

Maybe too old...not a chance!!!

Forgot to mention, that for some people a good DJ is one that doesn't move his hands from the mixer unless he has a gun to his head. For me, a good DJ is one that puts a track on, goes dancing on the floor, comes back, mixes, and goes dancing again, (so that a sniper won't hit him, lol)...that makes and energizing party... This is why I love Corsten (ok he doesn't dance on the floor, but in the booth!!!), you look at the guy and he inspires dancing and partying. The interaction between DJ and Crowd is so much forgotten by some of the grungy, minimal type of DJs. Not to help with our dancing.
