I've said it before and I'll say it again (x 2), I don't dance. Never have,
never will.
However, I love going out and hearing a great DJ spin some classy and
unexpected shit.
But my enjoyment isn't any less valid than people who like to dance. Perhaps
I'm a good example of the alpha-idm listener - I'm more content to listen,
nothing has ever moved me to, well, move, so I don't.
I can recognise a dance floor friendly track though, which I suppose is
something. But that may be coz I hear obvious 4/4 and decide it must be a
floor filler.

Here's I think what is an interesting question:
Do you actually go out and dance?
How does you exposure and enjoyment of more mainstream dance music inform
your feelings about electronic listening music?
This came to mind on my drive home from Detroit monday. I personally love
going to clubs and hearing good DJs, whether it's techno, house, hiphop,
IDM, funk, or lounge music. Since I started DJing I've zoomed in on all the
vinyl I have from Aphex Twin, Black Dog, Cylob, etc on the tracks that
actually work on the dance floor.
I had the privelege of hearing Carlos Souffront spin a lot of classic tracks
from the likes of Black Dog and Kirk Digiorgio saturday night, and the
stuff really can work for dancing. Plus, if you never hear these records
on a big system you're missing out bigtime.
So what do you think?
