Musical predictions for 2005 ?

hopefully punk will make a welcome return and dance will die well
whatever masquerades as intelligent electronic music,
cant abide the trainspotters with windrunners who in ever increasing numbers mope around the dancefloor not even throwin some or any shapes.
Thast why its called dance music if it was meant to pose to it would be called POSE music.

Techno will never die
Hardcore will make a return in HH clubs
Wonky Electronic music will be bandwagonned even more
Fun size jonny will start playing funky music and be known as fun size funky

thayts not much of a prediction saying that they were doing that last year , plus hardcore is also doing it by it self you just have to look @ air in brum godskitchen is struggling to fill it every week but hardcore till i die sells out there on a monthly bassis same goes with poly
yet pepole keep saying hardcore and hard house are going to die
but they continue to sell out nights at some of the uk's bigest and best venue's bout time pepole relised it wont die its only dead in north east an thats about it rant over

one of your better posts like derek. Bottom line is that some promoters want it to die up in NE. Couple that with the fact Newcastle dont have the feeder towns near by like Sheffield , Manc Brum and Sheffield to fill hard dance events on a regular basis is why "hard dance" is perceived as poorly attented up here
There are many other reasons but cant be bothered to go into here and now

Its dead in the north east cos people know better than to listen to shite music.

get a clue mate

all typesof music have rubbish records released on that scene.

Its just that a lot of the newer less musically diverse hard house producers think that to progress the genre they need to make it faster and harder. Time and again when a musical form has been speeded up faster and faster and harder and harder its widespread appeal disappears: see hardcore, happy hardcore, gabba, hard house: if psy trance and acid trance ever get bandwagoned like HH did around 2002 to 2001 then it may potentially go the same way

too true mate thats what north east is all about cheesy clubbing

the ting is what pepole are failing to realise is hh is acuttly stating to get back it follwing and its getting stronger and stronger with new events opening up in london wich now has quite a few hh nights leeds edinbrugh,glasgow,brum,and sherwsbury and a lot more weather you like it are hate it it will always be there

its fashionable for people to write things off derek, you are right from a certain point of view

yeah events like hardcore heaven have done joint events with clubs like frantic, and helter skelter have incorporated goodgreef and polysexual into their rooms at their events

but im talking about the actual events (goodgreef, polys etc) booking hardcore djs on their own without gettin hardcore events to do the rooms for them

Punk never left....



oh and I think the Rakes will become big in 2005

2005 for me is all about dirty, twisted house music with a touch of tribal and a sprinkling of electro.

linney if musicwas food you would be eating pizza or pot noodle

Strangely enough, Margharitta pizza is my favourite meal......

I dont...

they sound too much like every other band and look too much like franz ferdinand.

that made me chuckle.....
