Life is grand: On dance music

    Rave on brother! :) You've got it right there, some of those acts you mention will be carried with me to the grave also. Like you say, it's the music of our generation even if not the underground tunes of little known artists. Maybe we're consumers of the commercial product but it's good. There's no shortage of adrenalin provided by a good mix of Faithless or the latter day Binary Finary. It would be funny all the same to see the future of our generation on the porch with dance music shaking the neighbourhood. :D

    My fav act at the moment are The Knife. They're an electro duo from Sweden resposnible for this track (covered by Jose Gonzalez for that Bavaria TV ad)

    If you like your down tempo house then Alex Gopher is one to check out too. French and Chicago House is my love when it comes to House.

    Fish Go Deep (Cork group) probably have the most subscribed to podcast on iTunes at the moment. Each week they release their Saturday night radio show to the world. It's well worth the download.

    Dance music isnt something ive ever fully been able to get into although I do listen to a bit of the likes of The Chemical Brothers, Daft Punk and the likes from time to time. Music seems to come in waves and I'm sure a period of dance music is due in the next few years.

    You mean you didn't hear it thumping out of my headphones all day, Niall?

    Seems like a few of us ravers have been reminiscing...
