Borrowed Nostalgia

Dance music is in a really fucked up place these days.  Seriously, what the flying fuck.  What happened to the glory days when "blog-house" wasn't even a genre and Ableton Live didn't even exist.  Back before people thought thought laptops were legitimate instruments.  

It's got me in a  'throw back' sort of mood.  The song that put an entire sub-culture into perspective.  Respect.

Tenorion

If you don't know what a Tenorion is yet, get acquainted.  It's essentially just another electronic sampler/sequencer but it has the added advantage of visual effects.  In other words, making the sampler more 'rave friendly.'  Just check out the video to get a better idea of how it works.  

The video contains the very talented and equally beautiful Little Boots covering Hot Chip's "Ready For The Floor" with just a few pre-loaded samples.  Rad, I know.  I would love to pick one up, too bad it would set me back $1,200.  For that price, I could just buy two copies of Ableton and do work.  

...But it makes music look so cool.

ROGER WATERS & SYNTHI'S AKS
by electro

This is the electro equivalent to the "Big Bang" [or maybe even Genesis if you luv Jebus].

I love how their smugness transcends the decades and is as palpable today as it was back then.

I wonder if I could be the next Justice if I got an analog synth/sequencer like that.  Probably.  I might even have the edge on them since I've got Ableton and they don't.  SUCKAS
