Dance Music

Hello, I’m increasingly in the mood for dance music these days but I don’t know much about it or have many friends who are into it and can give me recommendations.

I have been informed I like ‘outsider house’

Some artists I currently listen to - DJ Seinfeld, Ross from Friends, Barry Can’t Swim, DJ Sabrina the Teenage DJ, Ben Böhmer, Honey Dijon, Shire T, Sofie Tukker, Purple Disco Machine, Caribou, Four Tet

Thanks :control_knobs: :blush: :headphones:

Hi! Quick starter question, do you tend to prefer mixes or EPs/albums?

I mainly listen to albums/EPs but I’d happily listen to mixes as a way of discovering new(to me) artists of a certain genre

Been playing this recently

I am going through my spotify library and listening to stuff i don’t know and had this on yesterday

Rupture//Rapture - Abandon

I think it counts as dance music. quite dark minimal/melodic techno maybe? It was pretty great.

(i don’t know the people you mention so apologies if its wide of the mark)

Are you on Spotify? Happy to sort you a playlist. Very much my vibe.

If not, then Nicolas Jaar’s Against All Logic (AAL) albums are well worth a listen. First one is more lo-fi house, second one is a bit more hard/electro edged

I am on Spotify and I would love a playlist, thank you!

Already an AAL fan, forgot to mention in the OP :slight_smile:

From the sounds of this, maybe DJ Kenan and Kel

I’d check out the Resident Advisor podcasts. A huge archive of mixes by hundreds of amazing DJs. I’m sure everyone you’ve listed that you like will have done one on there

Is there a lot of talking? Mixes sound good but I cba to listen to loads of chat

There is zero talking. Just your own when you say something over the top of it like “oh my gosh James Holden that’s a really nice groove your laying down, I’m just going to stand up and shake my booty for a bit if you don’t mind”
