Post IT'S OFFICIAL! ("dance" music making a come back,
- I Am LOVING what is happening RIGHT NOW!
- I AM LOVING WHAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW!

I remember for some time now I've been mentioning my DMC Theory (Dance Music Comeback), the fact that dance music is making a come back....well,

NOW IT'S OFFICIAL!

I absolutely COULD NOT believe what I was hearing on the radio - BRAND NEW HILARY DUFF! Song Title: "WITH LOVE! This is COMPLETELY UNBELIEVABLE! I remember back when I thought "1,2 step" was something to be excited about. I remember back when the faster beats were DYING and BECOMING LESS of a norm on top 40/rhythmic mainstream radio and t.v. stations were TURNING AWAY.........yes, TURNING AWAY from faster music..

NOW LETS RECAP:

It started out BACK when "1,2 step" and "my humps", and "loose control" and "control myself".....etc and stuff similar to that started playing on the radio. I introduced my DMC Theory, making the prediction that dance music was IN THE PROCESS of making a comeback. I stated that all it would take is ONE person to use a faster / dance-like beat, and have that song become successful, and it would only be a matter of time before other people started catching on, copying that style, and as more and more up-tempo songs became popular, it would only cause an increase in the amount of people releasing HITS with FASTER BEATS, encouraging and FORCING people to get used to and accept faster beats........ Shortly after I had a FOLLOW UP REPORT, based on the fact that THIS STARTED HAPPENING. THEN, I make another statement sometime during the middle of 2006, where I said "If this is how things sound now, just wait and see what it will be like next year"

THEN COMES THE END OF THE YEAR.

What do most people do at the end of the year? They reflect, so...

LET'S REFLECT:

"s.o.s." - Rihanna"......"man eater" - Nelly Furtado......."Control Myself" - L.L. Cool J............."ain't no other man" - Christina Aguilera..........."Smack Dat" - Akon........"sexy back" - Justin Timberlake........."promiscuous" - Nelly Furtado.............."git up" AND "so what" - Ciara............"tempurature" - Sean Paul........."fergalicious.. -

AND THAT'S ENOUGH - I DON'T EVEN HAVE TO CONTINUE!



NOW IT'S THE BEGINNING OF THE NEW YEAR, it is 2007!

Once again, I remember BACK.... I repeat, BACK when "1,2 step" seemed exciting. I remember when I thought "just loose it" by Eminem was something to jump around about. I remember when Pitbull released "hit da floor" and I thought I died and went to Heaven. I was amazed simply at the fact that music had already REACHED and WAS BEGINNING TO PASS the average speed of freestyle. THIS WAS ALL BEFORE S.O.S., GIT UP, FERGALICIOUS......ETC.
We have now reached JANUARY 2007, the VERY BEGINNING, less than 1/12 of the entire year, - LESS than 1/12th, and BAM!

GLAMOROUS - FERGIE / PROMISE (REMIX) - CIARA ... .. .. .... .. .
WITH LOVE - HILARY DUFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wait - just stop and let it sink in for a little while.....

O.k........ now, only THREE weeks have been completed so far this year. THREE up-tempo songs have been ADDED to, or at least started to play on top 40/rhythmic radio / mixshows.........

if this continues to happen even near the rate at which it is right now, imagine how many up-tempo / dance songs would be released by the end of THIS year. At this rate, think of the odds, the chances... the POSSIBILITIES that exist - The odds of an actual dance song being released this year has DRAMATICALLY INCREASED since this time last year, and when you add in the fact that these faster beats are more break/bass/freestyle sounding, the odds of a FREESTYLE song being released are EVEN HIGHER! So if this is the case, you can assume that at some point someone will eventually think to add in an electro sound with the bass/break beats, because the odds of that happening HAS ALSO INCREASED..... Notice how the artists releasing these songs with faster beats are sounding now - it's more on the FREESTYLE side than the BOOTY BASS side. Actually, this should no longer be classified as a theory, because there is now enough evidence to conclude that at the LEAST, one straight up freestyle song WILL be released AND become a hit before this year ends, and this now has more valid evidence and proof behind it than the whole global warming issue does! (Do the research, and you will find out that global warming is still questionable, meaning that it is a POSSIBILITY that it is happening. The dance music coming back IS happening!)

THIS IS THE EVOLUTION IN MUSIC, NOW.

Bottom line, it's official. Dance music (mainstreamwise) is back, and this is only a BREIF PREVIEW of what's to come. It is NOW THE NORM to hear up-tempo songs MAINSTREAMLY, and this is only the beginning. All those people that think "everything with a fast beat is techno" will shortly begin to assume that they now love techno, and that techno is IN once again. Mixshows on the radio will have a WIDER RANGE in bpm's, where you will hear not only top 40 alternative, pop, r&b, and hip hop, but also BASS, FREESTYLE, AND BREAKS, And you will also notice the faster beats, EVEN ON URBAN/HIP HOP stations! Have you noticed Ciara's new album, "THE EVOLUTION"? Did you notice what she did? Have you heard "Get in, fit in" by Ciara AND listened CLOSELY to what she was talking about? SHE know what's happening...

I didn't even begin to touch on the fact that HILARY DUFF has decided to jump in on the action and use a faster beat, and you should not adjust your computer screen or go to Walgreens and buy a pair of glasses or try to cut and paste and perform spell-check on this because I did say HILARY DUFF! There were no typos. Now it's safe to expect a freestyle hit from anybody.

I don't think there's much more I can say. If a freestyle artist, or at least an artist that produces a freestyle hit is delivered by American Idol, that would just be too much, but that possibility NOW EXISTS.

SUMMER IS COMING....................just imagine how it will sound by SPRING.

were something to get excited about. I recommend you take a music appreciation class at your local community college. A good analogy is how a starving man would think a Twinkie is great, but there's so much better and more fulfilling food out there. Those songs are the equivalent of musical junk food, but without the shelf-life!

As much as I would like to believe you about dance coming back, we (meaning the mainstream young to young-middle aged people here in America) have become so ghetto-fied (and radio station PD's playing music that is "safer" than ever) that I can't see dance making a comeback, and definitely no where remotely near like it was in the mid 90's and before, where you could turn on your typical CHR-Rhythmic radio station and hear a dance tune or two regularly.
.
Now that doesn't mean you won't occasionally find a Cascada or DHT-like tune pop up on CHR-Pop stations once in a while, or maybe even another "Movin" type station or two to pop up nationwide, but the listening audience and radio programmers have "evolved" (yes that was in quotes for a reason) to the point where a major dance comeback will never happen, barring some humongous event that causes some major change in our culture.
.
Now I don't think dance will ever fully disappear, and I think some recent technologies, ie internet radio, MYSPACE, itunes, satellite radio, and other things will keep giving producers/artists reasons to keep creating it, and used correctly might even make a buck or two on it. I think with the right promoting through the intenet (i.e. Myspace) and the easier way to get music out to people (i.e. itunes) we'll see a couple artists do ok. There is still a decent sized audience out there that likes to hear a dance song here and there, in fact I was amazed to see (based on some reresearch we did) the amount of people here in Yuba City/Marysville who like freestyle along with their hip hop, r&b. While there is still a little bit of an audience out there, there is no way to get the music out there to the masses by radio (again as radio programmers will no longer consider mixing in a dance song in their playlists).
.
Oh yeah, I still believe what I've always preached in regards to dance/freestyle artists not giving up making dance/freestyle to focus strictly on hip hop/r&b. How many ex-freestyle or dance artists have really made some major noise in non-dance genres. And how many ex-freestyle artists have made any noise switching over to the house/trance styles.
.
Anyway, dance is a much smaller market than hip hop and r&b. And now even reggaeton. Everyone is a reggaeton artist now. You wouldn't believe some of the crap we get sent into the station. So anyway, in dance...much less competition. Much better chance to make some noise, especially with some of the very talented producers we have in freestyle and dance music. Actually, a good chunk of them have a TON more talent than some of these producers putting out today's hip hop, r&b, and (c)rap. Today it's all about putting out a totally non-creative background beat, and then coming out with some type of gimmick that will get the kids hooked. And because our youth has become so ghetto-fied, all you need to do is come up with some new stupid-ass word or saying, and make sure you talk about your stunna shades, ghost ridin, smackin that, your grill, your whip, or getting hyphy... and you've got the kiddies hooked.
(Side note: there is hardly anything funnier than hearing a 50 year old newswoman talking about kids getting hyphy. They were doing a story about some sideshows in Modesto where some kid fell off his car while ghost riding, and the news lady said something like this... "the young man was in the moving car, and then he decided to get hyphy..." Oh man I was almost in tears!) ROTFL
.
But yeah, anyway, other than a dance song occasionally popping onto a CHR-Pop playlist, I don't see any major dance comeback, as much as I would like to.

I think I gave the wrong impression by using the words "dance music". I try to use the most basic, simple terms, that even those who don't know much about faster beats can understand, and since the phrase "dance music" is understood by most as faster music, I use it, this way I'm safe in making sure that anybody can at least have half a clue of what I'm trying to say. I would assume that everyone, or at least a majority of the people in a Freestyle Music forum would know what I was talking about if I used more precise definitions in music, but since what I write is usually cut and pasted when I post topics such as this, it will always seem a little off when the term "dance music" is used, but to someone else in another forum who doesn't know the whole history of "dance" music, it would make perfect sense to see certain artists I listed used as examples of "DMC/Dance Music Comeback". I usually don't have time to write, then rewrite, changing certain things for different people who may have more or less knowledge when it comes to this, so I just stick to the most simplest terms possible, short of calling everything with a fast beat "techno", and then copy and paste. The REAL meaning behind "dance music is making a comeback' is really "The Beats Are Speeding Up!!" And the fact that we have already gotten to the point where top 40/mainstream music has already started accepting speeds that surpass the speed of freestyle, and as long as this continues, the possibility CONSTANTLY EXISTS, and INCREASES for the chance of someone actually creating a brand new freestyle song and making it successful. Of course, many of those songs, like "control myself"...etc don't appeal to me, but it's exciting to see that THIS TYPE OF SOUND IS ONCE AGAIN BEING ACCEPTED, and you NEVER know where things could go from here! It will NEVER be the same as it was back in the 80's or 90's, and I did talk about this fact in another forum, but just the fact that the bass/freestyle sound elements are starting to be resurrected, it's exciting enough for me, mostly because I like faster beats and I'll take whatever up-tempo-ness I could get from radio now. Yes, i could mix all my own stuff, but it's not always as fun as when you know that you're hearing what thousands or billions of people are also hearing at the same time, and the fact that all these faster songs are coming out, I've noticed stations (while mixing) would even throw in some EXTRA stuff just because it fits, that they would never have played back when "yeah" by Usher, "freek-a-leek!" by Petey Pablo, and "goodies" by Ciara was the average speed. I remember back in those days - just a FEW years ago, shortly after all the faster stuff abruptly died, I was excited about those songs- which were about 105 bpm! But that's all radio had to give. It didn't really help much that Britney released "toxic" because MOST d.j's had nothing to mix it with (at least on air, following formats) and they would always either play it last or cut into something half the speed of it. I remember how many people believe everything with a fast beat is either techno or old school, especially when they don't know the song, but now that these NEW songs are using fast beats, people can't just logically assume that everything with a fast beat is old school, especially when the songs are OBVIOUSLY new. So this leaves only one problem, the "call it techno" problem, but sooner or later, rather SOONER, these youngsters, the future of this planet, will begin to realize "hmmmmm - this must not be techno, because there's something kinda different about it that makes it FIT IN with this top 40/pop stuff I like....."

But it doesn't really matter about all that - BOTTOM LINE, This NEW GENERATION, where 20 or 30% of them are - (o.k., maybe I'm being too generous here) - 90% of them are ignorant of dance music, this faster music will only cause them to OPEN THEIR MINDS and accept faster stuff, which opens THOUSANDS of doors when it comes to music creativity.

I remember my younger sisters used to hate EVERYTHING fast, until Ciara released "git up". As usual, the radio and MTV told them it was cool, so THEY also accepted it as cool, and now that they hear all these other faster songs, they've FORGOTTEN that "fast music was out".

These days, it's not about what people like, it's about being BRAINWASHED, so I'm glad and excited that people are being BRAINWASHED to listen AND like these faster beats, because

that's the best "we" can do right now.

Me, I'd rather have it like it was back in the 90's, with Jocelyn, Lil Suzy....... I'm not even going to start because I just used half of my computer time at the Library typing this, and if I get into that, it will be a whole different issue. I should just get away from everything and anything that has to do with music for a week because once I get into it, I just can't stop, so..................I'M DONE.

After the long repetitive posts, I would like to ad that just because it's sung by a black chick doesn't mean it's spelled "git." The song is called "Get Up"

Freestyle will never come back, nor any other dance Music, Trance, House, Name It........It will always be around..But not come back..

Heres what will come back...or should I say Come: RnB on Freestyle Beats....

you got a dope freestyle beat , vocalist, with Image..marked 2007 / 2008...forget it , It's freestyle...and thats that..Program Director will call it old school and toss it.

Now on the other hand, You got a dope Freestyle sounding Beat with a RnB singer sprinkled with a Rapper ...you got your next Radio top 40 hit.

It will not regress to actuall freestyle music...It will only progress to new RnB with Freestyle loops..because thats whats in right now, and its been working well for all who have been doing it.

The fact is, To the Teenybopper listening to the radio right now, This music is new, and its hot because for the last 10 years all she or he has been hearing is slow RnB and Rap, But now we have a new trend of fast paced RnB with freestyle elements and samples all over it....But they dont know that , to them its new and fresh....To those of us who do know that, well we dont count, we are old, Non radio teenyboppers who all have jobs and dutys and we have been snipped out of there Target.

I would love for freestyle to come back, But it aint happ'nin Capp'n.
it aint Urban, It aint Black, It Aint Hip Hop, It aint "From Da Streets", It aint Bling Bling, Hummers and Hoes..It aint whatz Poppin...

Now to us it is...we know its Urban and in fact is from the streets, but its then, not now. Our generation dont count..Not to radio.

Prepare for the New Music......RnB on Freestyle sounding Beats, nothing more....and this too will fade out just like the Hyphie Movement....all in time.

Yeah I think that is more of a possibility. I've had discussions with Mario about how I really loved what they did with "Turn The Lights Down Low" by Christina Marie and some other tracks. That was a track, which if done by someone like Ciara or someone else who is all over TV/magazines/internet, and all the kiddies already know, that song could have been HUGE. Seriously a nationwide hit. But again, had to have been done by an artist already known, with a huge label, and tons of money behind it. GREAT freakin song for radio. Even for today, years after its release.
So yeah, I agree with you that this is the closest we'll get, and also with KDM's revised explanation.
And yes, I'll admit it's kind of nice to see some of the more uptempo songs.
And Joe, I know we've had our discussions about "all the creativity" that went into a song like "Fergalicious", but somehow I still find relief listening to something like "Fergalicious" after listening to something like Danity Kane.

Faster tempos are one thing. Great melodies and meaningful lyrics that people relate to are another. Just imagine for a minute there was no "Give It All You Got" by Afro-Rican, and we were all impressed by this great new track, "Fergalicious". WTF is that song about? It's custom-made for the kiddies, and other emotionally immature/undeveloped listeners out in radioland; which seems to be a larger and larger portion of the market. I think this "ghetto-ization" of the music is a reflection of the population itself. It's now official: the average American home now contains more televisions than human beings. Makes me think of that old bumpersticker, "Beam me up, Scotty, there's no intelligent life down here" :cry:

I like Fergalicious, Permiscuous, and Last Night...Great tracks if you ask me....I've already faced the facts of whats become of our ENT. Industry and the new brain washed kids we call our future. Once you get past it...It aint so bad...It's Like our parents complaining because the radio aint playing there stuff, we are no different. It is what it is. Life moved on with out us, we can either move on with it or get left behind and kick rocks with "More Freestyle" Protest sighns...I think I have moved on and look back at freestyle music the way I look back at My 1980's cartoons....Great stuff and only my generation knows about it...Oh and I love KDM's Mixxes...Keep doin yo thang bra....Those mixxes should have no problem making a dance floor jump..

You shouldn't have to lower your standards. There are all kinds of great independent projects out there that can be found out about from P2P, Myspace, word of mouth etc. You don't have to let yourself be insulted by the barrage of crap on your radio (Laffy Taffy, Chicken Noodle Soup, etc). If you truly love good music, unplug yourself from the matrix-like false reality of radio and search for something better.

I had a long talk with former Wyldstyle DJ/owner of 510 Studios and he said one day he was told to play some ridiculous song (forgot what) and he just had to put the needle back on the turntable and walk away from it all. And that was years ago. It's gone beyond generational differences to being a complete dog & pony show.

I Live in the Bay Area which is 1 of the capitols of almost every form of EDM there is! Jungle, Breaks, Techno, Trance, Some Ghetto Tech Producers, BMore Club is starting coming up here, Grime, Dubstep, Ambient, Down Tempo, Garage, Acid Techno, Acid Trance, Progressive House, Disco HOuse, Deep House, Tech House, Hardcore, Breakcore, Happy HArdcore, etc....

*looks reeeeeally hard at my surroundings*

In the past 15 year, I've been working in promotions for dance music events! I set up events, I work at the events, I assist DJs in what they need help in when they get to my events, I throw events, I clean up @ events! I've done weeklies @ venues around the Bay Area, I've done my own MOntlie, I've done 1 off events above ground but have done more underground 'cause that's where my heart is. I talk to DJs, I know DJs, some of my best friends are world wide known DJs & they all spin the genres of dance music mentioned above.... as it stands right now, I"m part of like 17 different crews here in the bay area!

*looks reeeeeeeeeally hard at my surroundings again*

I have Homies all around the world who are dnb DJs & prodcuers! They have even said that the 3 places in the US that are really up w/ dnb is New YOrk, Los Angeles, & San Francisco!!!!! One of the most well known dnb crews known WorldWide is Groundscore! I"m a member of Groundscore!! I know where dnb/Jungle stands in my area man! We have weeklies like Compression,Phuturo, Jungle Code, Trauma, & Blend that bring in big names like Dara, Reid Speed, Grooverider, Dylan, & Robyn Chaos on weeknights! Then Eklektic, where we brought out Roni Size, Klute, Amit, Disco D (RIP), Shimon.. Hello 2day.. i could go on & on with that! BUt there's Monthlies like Still Doin It that brought out Rohan from Ireland twice!!! There's even Press Records & Future Breaks FM that do a weekly jungle shows on the internet based in SF! Oh yeah.. not to mention that Hive, Gridlock, Push, Flux, & Juju.... 5 of the biggest dnb producers in the world are from & still live in SF.....

*looks around again reeeeeeeally close to my surrounding*

Yeah.. & we throw down all over the damn City: 1015, DNA, Cat Club, 550 Barnaveld, Anu, Glass Cat, Poteng Lounge, The Top, Supper Club, The Cellar, Shadow LOunge, Retox Lounge, Jelly's, 330 Ritch, 177 Townsand (RIP), Mighty, Mission Rock, The End Up, so many venues..... We have Jungle, Breaks, House, Grime, Garage DJs perform in between bands on my statge at Haight street fair every year! We've had the Love Parade & Love Fest gatherings here for 3 years so far & every year it gets bigger & bigger in attendance.. last year it wark marked @ 60 000 people who came for the parade & stay for the day party & even more people who went to the after parties galore in the City, Above & Underground!!!!! Summer Music Conference started here laast year , as a sister event to WMC in Miami... there were over 200 events that went down in 5 days in all the venues mentioned above with DJs from all over the world spining in every genre you could think of! I have Homies all over Cali, Modesto, Sac, Santa Cruz, Davis, Redding, Reno, Tahoe, LA, Hollywood... who come up to SF on a weeklie basis to go to all the weeklies!

*looks arond again reeeeeeeeeeally hard at my surroundings*

Live 105 started getting DJs to spin EDM sets on their weekend shows... other stations like Alice & Wyld that have theire Friday/ Saturday night House, Breaks, Trance shows where big name DJs spin on! Soon 92.7 was brought here to the Bay Area to just play that! I mean... yeah, House, Breaks, Trance, Jungle, etc may not be on the same rotation as Pop, rnb, hip hop, la lala.. but that doesn't mean there's not a huge popularity with something just 'cause mainstream ignores it... I never said anything about that Dude! I'm just on the defensive when you said that EDM wasn't there anymore..I mean.. maybe you underestimate how much of it is sooo powerfully there/ here!!!

*looks around again reeeeeeeeeeeeeally good to see if I missed anything*

oh yeah, i stole my Mom's Digi cam last year & happen to take pictures of almost all the parties, raves, clubs, & gatherings I went to. Now this is all like a years worth of stuff I've worked &/ or been too. Imagine this times 15:

I mean.. maybe i misunderstood what you originally said... but i mean... seriously, this is my life dude.. i know what i'm talkin' about when I say that electronic dance music is stronger than ever especially here in The Bay Area!!!!! Yeah, it's here, but it's stronger & getting stronger!!!! I've been doing this a long Caleb! I'm sorry... i didn't mean to name call or offend you in anyway man! Shit man.. you're my Bro Dude & I'm sorry if what i said before came out like mean & shit (seriously, I tried to be humorous sounding when i typed that before), but really... lol... Hello 2Day, I know what i'm talkin' about when I'm talkin about EDM! I mean... to the best of my knowledge anyway based on what i been through, seen, spoke with, hang out with, etc....

OK.. this is takin' too long

The End :mrgreen:

Back again with my Matrix analogy; if one of you took the red pill and the other the blue pill, you could be standing right next to each other in separate realities, each unaware of the other. It sounds like Osby is tuned into the live, urban, progressive underground-ish electronica/IDM scene in SF which is an epicenter of such activity(props go here to OM records and the like). Caleb seems to be in the "it's on the radio becuase promoters/labels bought dinners, italian leather shoes, hookers, etc for the music director-but we want you to think it's popular opinion/requests" scene. Which is a very convincing scene. You can like whatever you want; my thing is that I encourage people to look beyond what the Billboard/Clearchannel entity spoonfeeds you. You mght find something great.

Its all good Osby, I'm not trting to fight either...But I was referring to Dance Music on a Global Scale....You dont need to tell me that Dance Music still has shows and productions being released...We all Know That...But I think we are all talking about a "Come Back" The same come back we have been talking about for a long time now..
