Musical predictions for 2005 ?

Re: Musical predictions for 2005 ?

i would say techno is pretty popular imo

Electro is fast becoming the new funky house IMO!

'dirty' house will rule supreme, electro will still remain popular but nowhere near as commercial as funky house... with a significant rise in indie/electro crossover bands..

now the triple disc 'funky house forever heaven volume 4' compilations are rolling out, funky house will continue its decline in popularity amongst those with any credibility, as hard house did years ago...

d+b will always be d+b, but the techno clingons will fast evaporate in search of something else.. probably back to hard house...

the charts will be full of a band called 'The Bravery'

explain oh wise one...

Agree with alot your saying there.

Electro (the stuff thats popular at the moment) will move further away from what is actually Electro. Probably be the popular thing in '05.

Techno will (hopefully) move back into the shadows when all the hangers-on move to the next thing.

Disco (the proper wonky stuff, not the backs-to-the-wall, wailing diva stuff) will get bigger.

hh is fast becoming more popular just not in the north east there are more and more hh/d nights opening up i n london ,leeds,brum ,edinbrugh,glasgow so with nights opening in majour cityies i would say it has at least another year left r 2 r 3 r 4

Music will move into a new sound spectrum so only dogs can here it...

Eddie halliwell will try to scratch it and G&D will make 397 remixes of it in the first few months..

Judge jules will start a new radio show called wonga wonga in which he will play non stop high pitched whale and dolphine music and dave pearce will die due to eating too many burgers

Scenewhores will switch from electro to emo and scene rock.

NME kids will stop listening to babyshambles and the libertines plinky plonky pussy music and start listening to harder stuff or dancey stuff.

Trance will die.

Techno will be huge.

Hard House will exist only in egypt cottage and leeds.

Hip Hop and R n B will be as irritating as ever and everywhere.

UK Hip Hop will be bigger.

House will be enjoyed byold men (and allie)

Funky house will be blasted in council estates up and down the country.

techno is like d+b, gabba and hardcore, it will always have a sizeable die hard ( and slightly weird) following, i cant see it growing much more to be honest..

it was huge in 2004, but it seems a lot of the 'plastic' techno djs are moving on again, as are their followers...

who knows eh..

another one: all the bands that were good a year ago, will be lapped up by the masses and turn shit overnight

UK and Underground hip hip is RPMs biggest selling genre....

i dunno with tech-trance expanding like, following it's boom in 02/03 it hasn't been quite as big the last year imo

Hopefully.

stephen hakwins will invent a time machine at the end of 2005

Then you can all go back to 1991 and rather than waste your petty cash on rubbish nights have a look at when all the sounds co existed under one roof and realise if you all pulled your fingers out each others ass how it could be again

PUBS will get 24hrs licences and there will 10 copycat VUZZ and twisted logic trance nights in the big market all trying to book djs that bigger clubs dont want them too

prog-trance such as the stuff on Electronic Elements becoming more popular and a bigger part of trance DJs sets

hopefully

most independant record shops will close, distributers will become the new shops, people will buy online, the rise in legal download sites will help cut down on illegal downloading

piracy on software will be prevented with subscriptions being brought into play so software can only be purchased from the manufacturers direct

everyone will jump off the techno bandwagon and onto the the electro bandwagon

hardcore will be introduced at events such as Polysexual, goodgreef, frantic etc

hardstyle will mose out of the mainstream clubs and bacjk underground

one massive club will go bust

Armin van buuren will be top 100 DJ

with the top 10 consistin of sasha, PvD, Ferry Corsten, Tiesto, John Digweed, Eric Morillo, Eddie Halliwell, James Zabiela, hernan Cattaneo

thats my prediction

Hopefully Trance will continue as normal

techno will be where it's at.

trance will stay, just with the same old faces. by dec, we'll probably have a handful of 'class' tunes from the year - but nowt much - bit like last year
