50 ballots! Countdown was supposed to start on Monday but I'll be working all Friday so I'm starting it right now. There were 10 ties in the top 100 so I'll be counting from 110 onwards to compensate.

Thanks to vahid for starting and organizing the first part of this poll and to everyone in here who sent in their ballots.

Shit... that's Thin White Duke remix not Carl Craig remix. Sorry about that.

Moka, Sunday, 19 August 2012 21:57 (eleven years ago) link

I most probably won't say much on this thread and it will get stuck in my bookmarks as I slowly work my way through each youtube but thanks for doing this moka, i think this is going to be fun. also the graphics look aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamazing.

Thanks :)

The results are actually interesting for the most part. Even the top 10 has a couple of good surprises and it ended up being more unpredictable than I thought. I think you guys will be very pleased with the results in here.

Also some great discoveries to be made, like the next track which I've never heard before in my life but sounds amazing on my soundsystem:

Moka, Sunday, 19 August 2012 22:23 (eleven years ago) link

Township Funk should have been way bigger than it was imho.

Moka, Sunday, 19 August 2012 22:24 (eleven years ago) link

I have mad love for the next one. Didn't break the top 100 but got 8 votes so I'm happy I'm not alone on it:

Moka, Sunday, 19 August 2012 22:25 (eleven years ago) link

Moka raised the bar on poll images. When the EOY poll rolls around, I'm actually gonna have to put some effort into this shit! Wah.

second only to popcorn (or something), Sunday, 19 August 2012 22:44 (eleven years ago) link

hey moka you couldn't put the year of the song release in there too please? i know it may be bothersome, especially with a genre that is all about shady white labels 3 years before things get popular etc. so feel free to ignore this but i'd just like to see when things were made. or maybe when the overall list is posted stick the year next to it then.

a hoy hoy, Sunday, 19 August 2012 22:45 (eleven years ago) link

Awesome pics Moka.

Tim F, Sunday, 19 August 2012 22:46 (eleven years ago) link

Sure thing a hoy hoy. Per your request I'll start adding year of release for the top 100.

Thanks Tim!

Alright so those 10 were the bonus for the 10 tie-ins ahead. Great songs all around. Will give you a couple of minutes to digest those. Actual top 100 coming on up.

OMG, that version of "All I Do" is incredibly annoying.

Love the banners' design, tho.

the m83 is the first thing i voted for itl i think

well it turns out i also voted for 'vacuum boogie' and 'present lover'

some thoughts so thoughtless

Lamp, Sunday, 19 August 2012 23:33 (eleven years ago) link

Oh shit forgot to add the years. Green Velvet is 2001 and M83 2005.

Moka, Sunday, 19 August 2012 23:36 (eleven years ago) link

I was sure a single first place vote would guarantee a spot here - I guess if the present lover got 1 1st place and two other votes on top of that there's tougher competition than I thought.

formerly EDB (ed.b), Sunday, 19 August 2012 23:36 (eleven years ago) link

Expected this one to fare much better considering it did good on the best 2011 tracks poll.

Moka, Sunday, 19 August 2012 23:36 (eleven years ago) link

i didn't vote but i'm psyched. looks great Moka. there are already tracks i LOVE mainly TPL and Cable Dazed.

jed_, Sunday, 19 August 2012 23:37 (eleven years ago) link

1st place vote means 50 points. According to my table there's 7 nominees fighting for a tie at 50 points. They're fighting for the 356th place!

Moka, Sunday, 19 August 2012 23:38 (eleven years ago) link

7 number one votes that got no other votes? love ILM sometimes.

jed_, Sunday, 19 August 2012 23:41 (eleven years ago) link

I think Getting Me Down was low down on my ballot but not 100%. Good tune anyway, I may have heard it a few too many times by now but can't really hold that against it.

I hope you're around in 3 years, Moka!

I remember falling in love with the Toyboy & Robin "Jaded" video during the 2013 tracks rollout. it still gives me so much pleasure to watch it

Dan S, Wednesday, 10 April 2019 06:11 (five years ago) link

These lists change a lot over the years, I recently ran into this "all time top 500 dance tracks" from 2003 (some listeners poll by a German? UK? radio station I believe), and while these are all pretty much canonical classics, no doubt such a list would look completely different now.

Popular as trance was here there's no way that's a British list.

Matt DC, Wednesday, 10 April 2019 08:34 (five years ago) link

Yeah my guess would be Germany as well

Uptown VONC (Le Bateau Ivre), Wednesday, 10 April 2019 08:37 (five years ago) link

It's a nice shapshot from just before the whole minimal aesthetic took over.

Siegbran, Wednesday, 10 April 2019 08:42 (five years ago) link

(and electro)

Siegbran, Wednesday, 10 April 2019 08:44 (five years ago) link

16 Here's Johnny Deepack 06:52

With a hardcore track that high, has to be Dutch actually.

Siegbran, Wednesday, 10 April 2019 08:47 (five years ago) link

Not enough Dido or Dave Gahan in that list. And where the hell are Grand Funk Railriad ffs.

nashwan, Wednesday, 10 April 2019 09:09 (five years ago) link

gui boratto, 'a beautiful life', just hit the playlist.
shivers all over.
still does its magic.

mark e, Wednesday, 10 April 2019 09:09 (five years ago) link

It's a nice shapshot from just before the whole minimal aesthetic took over.

It's also a nice snapshot from just before pressed pills gave way to pure powder.

lukas, Wednesday, 10 April 2019 11:52 (five years ago) link

o_0 at that list of 500

zama roma ding dong (Eric H.), Wednesday, 10 April 2019 15:16 (five years ago) link

Lotta good stuff in there obv, but doesn't excuse the majority of ... that top 10.

zama roma ding dong (Eric H.), Wednesday, 10 April 2019 15:17 (five years ago) link

any time I see lists like that I think back to this good oral history of Berlin techno book (Der Klang der Familie -- has an English translation, would recommend) and at the point where trance-like things are starting to happen all the late 80s guys seem disgusted

mh, Wednesday, 10 April 2019 16:12 (five years ago) link

With the exception of the occasional Tiga or Roger Sanchez or later Basement Jaxx track that list feels way more 1999 than 2003, I'd have expected more golden age Paris house in there by 2003 for one thing.

Matt DC, Wednesday, 10 April 2019 16:21 (five years ago) link

It is just the contents of an external hard drive of 192kbps m4a files dl'd from BitTorrent that PewDePie gave away to a first responder.

nashwan, Wednesday, 10 April 2019 16:24 (five years ago) link

list is good ... for me to poop on

the late great, Wednesday, 10 April 2019 17:14 (five years ago) link

honestly though i can’t imagine a scenario wherein a ranked list of 500 things is not a total waste of space

the late great, Wednesday, 10 April 2019 17:16 (five years ago) link

Skipping through it a bit more, that list of 500 is of course way too full of then-current trance hits that have really not endured but if you strip out the 2002-2003 material it’s pretty solid list of mainly house classics.

Siegbran, Wednesday, 10 April 2019 18:05 (five years ago) link

Sad Dad House (Thee Macallan 18 Year), Wednesday, 10 April 2019 20:28 (five years ago) link

Very safe

viborg, Thursday, 11 April 2019 05:03 (five years ago) link

I agree with much of it but safe generally seems to be the direction that top rated dance music is headed these days, which I guess is why I brought up "What's A Girl To Do"

viborg, Thursday, 11 April 2019 05:04 (five years ago) link

With due respect I'll just be really glad if we can forget all about that awful top 500 trance list that we felt the need to post in its entirety.

viborg, Thursday, 11 April 2019 05:05 (five years ago) link

yes in regards to forgetting about trance (at least for the moment)

I like a lot of Thee Macallan 18 Year's list

Dan S, Thursday, 11 April 2019 05:19 (five years ago) link

Xpost: i can totally see at least 10 of those tracks making it to this poll if it ran today

✖✖✖ (Moka), Thursday, 11 April 2019 05:34 (five years ago) link

my list will be full of lofi hipster shit

brimstead, Thursday, 11 April 2019 05:36 (five years ago) link

Only about a quarter of those 500 are trance to be fair, but yeah it’s a real time capsule.

Siegbran, Thursday, 11 April 2019 06:48 (five years ago) link

four months pass...

weird im not seeing storm queen 'look right through' on any of these

ILX’s bad boy (D-40), Tuesday, 27 August 2019 08:10 (four years ago) link

I love “look right through” but if I had to choose between that and “reckless with your love” it’s the latter.

Tim F, Tuesday, 27 August 2019 09:00 (four years ago) link

"Reckless" is 09 ~!

ILX’s bad boy (D-40), Monday, 9 September 2019 05:12 (four years ago) link

Which I guess raises the question why you're looking for "look right through" on this thread?

Tim F, Monday, 9 September 2019 06:28 (four years ago) link

two months pass...

Just like hip hop in the 90's, I've been slowly realizing that the 00's might be the ideal electronic music period. remember sometime around the mid-00s how it felt like everybody wanted in on it. it sounded like the coolest, exciting music to listen to and it was fusing around with every genre that wanted to join in on the party and threading new grounds every passing month. While in previous decades it was more of a clubbing experience, people were now hearing it on their cars, on their headphones, on their house parties. It was fun and colorful but it could also be deep and affecting in ways that it had never been before. People stopped thinking of it as 'cold, machine' music - it could be cold, sure - but it was also as bright and warm and human as any other genre could be.

Maybe I'm wrong and old and it's as much a communal experience this decade as it was in the 00's. I'm just wearing my nostalgia goggles because I really miss those days.

✖✖✖ (Moka), Friday, 29 November 2019 18:20 (four years ago) link

I’d probably disagree more with:

“It was fun and colorful but it could also be deep and affecting in ways that it had never been before.”

Unless you simply mean that it was finding new ways to continue to explore being deep and affecting (something which it also was in previous decades), in which case, sure.

Tim F, Friday, 29 November 2019 20:53 (four years ago) link

xp you are wrong, it’s true

djdirtbagstyle, Friday, 29 November 2019 21:25 (four years ago) link

I hate the idea that dance music gains significance by being deep and meaningful tbh, sometimes you just want a b*nger

boxedjoy, Friday, 29 November 2019 21:48 (four years ago) link

like I love a tears-at-4am Kompakt anthem as much as anyone who went clubbing in the past twenty years, but there's just as many goofy, functional and/or simply striking tracks that are just as personally significant

boxedjoy, Friday, 29 November 2019 21:49 (four years ago) link

i liked the 00s in dance music but this was probably to a large extent because i was 19-26 during the decade and, you know, dancing on a beach in barcelona or in the sub club full of MDMA half the time

#FBPIRA (jim in vancouver), Friday, 29 November 2019 21:49 (four years ago) link

Moka all that stuff happened in the 90s already

Yeah I know, I barely experienced electronic music in the 90’s, I started in 1997 when I was 13 with the popular alternative labels like warp or ninjatune. Internet was nowhere as fast and easy back then in my country so it was until much later that I actually discovered all the great electronic music from the 90’s and it was as banging and beautiful as it was in the 00’s. But as I said, I’m just wearing my nostalgia goggles. I was 15 in 1999 so it was until the 00’s that I actually started experiencing electronic music in a wider, social context so I’m specially fond of the tracks of that decade. Someone 10 years younger than me would probably tell me the 2010s was his ideal era for electronic music.

In my experience the 90's was more magical, in the 00's underground matured. Of course I also stopped taking e right in 2001. But that b*nger thread (heh) got me thinking about the party I went to in the mid-00's, a Sunset Party on the rooftop of the SF MOMA iirc. It wasn't bad but wasn't one of the more magic Sunset gatherings I've been to. Anyway as I was riding the elevator to leave the party, and I wasn't even that old at the time, there were some late teen/early 20's kids griping about the 'old people' at the party. It was kind of a defining moment for me.

Otoh at one of the last Sunset Parties I went to I was with a DJ pal who kind of in the 'inner circle'. I was feeling the buzz and talking about how magical the parties were and he took that and ran with it, babbling about the 'magic' for weeks. I love the guy. In retrospect it's clear that 'magic' was mostly the result of heavy cocaine use from what I saw although I was never inducted into the inner circle. The 90's magic was definitely more straight MDMA which is a BLAST for the experience of communal bliss through dancing to hypnotic grooves.

have you all ever noticed that going back to the old school, doing it how we used to do it, getting back to the roots, etc is an evergreen trope in dance music? there are tracks from like 1990 talking about going back to the old school!

Right, in contrast with the obsession with "the future" in some of the music. I've literally heard wanker MC's just chant 'the future...the future' at d&b parties.

Also the advent of smartphones, FB, etc drastically changed the scene starting in the early 00's. Just as the internet completely reshaped the music industry. Can you imagine getting rich off of one 12"?

yeah it’s an interesting dialectic

Anyway not sure about the geography represented here but there was just a decent list of top US rave anthems of the 90's on Mixmag that got me a little wistful.

the future and the old school are no substitutes for the genial!

Which I guess raises the question why you're looking for "look right through" on this thread?
