Aye electronic by label but pish singy depressing commercialised shite in my humble opinion mate.

The 90's was the rave scene for me, not shite like that or what was in the charts other than the minority that crept though from the so called underground.

By definition dance/electronic/techno tag I gave doesn't even cover what i'm trying to put to you. I was trying to keep it simple.



I'm talking about the less commercialised stuff made with anything by a Quasimidi onwards that had folk going nuts en mass away fae Top O' the fkn Pops style influences and Radio 1 back then.
