Late 70s early 80s in Bradford was amazing.mangocrazy wrote: ↑Tue Feb 14, 2023 8:06 pmThe 90s were the decade that I 'got' electronic dance music; techno, house, breakbeat, drum and bass. I had some of the best times of my life on the dance floor in that decade. They were also the years when I put the most amount of miles on bikes and did the majority of the track days I've done.

Re: What in the actual fuck
Kind of got drawn in as following Cabaret Voltaire they got more 'dance' but the rise of the independents like Rough Trade and Factory was But even back in 'mod' days when Motown was all the rage the labels like Chess and Stax were the engine room. It's like the music industry has tiers...there's the fluff on the top and the good stuff underneath. Awards ceremonies seem to be all fluff...because it shifts units.mangocrazy wrote: ↑Tue Feb 14, 2023 8:06 pmThe 90s were the decade that I 'got' electronic dance music; techno, house, breakbeat, drum and bass.

Re: What in the actual fuck
I noticed (peripherally) that Wet Leg got an award at the Brits. If so, they're one of the few non-manufactured bands to have risen to the heady heights of awards ceremonies without being fluff-tastic.Count Steer wrote: ↑Tue Feb 14, 2023 8:55 pm Kind of got drawn in as following Cabaret Voltaire they got more 'dance' but the rise of the independents like Rough Trade and Factory was But even back in 'mod' days when Motown was all the rage the labels like Chess and Stax were the engine room.

And Atlantic label soul (so Northern Soul in essence). Strangely, I arrived at a love for old Motown, Stax and Atlantic via Dexys Midnight Runners!
