This is what VNV really sound like. This is the ultimate in electronica for me. No guitars. Fantasy, passion, anthems.....privilaged to have seen them do this live on several occasions .

I associate that with body popping.

I bought this 12” in early clubbing days at Coasters, Brighton.



Then I this loved down nights at very different types of club, but less said about that the better on a macho football forum. :lolol:



Nail on the head. Definitely the music that works best with body popping.
Tons of people that were Detroit style Techno enthusiasts or artists the world over, kept and still continue to keep Electro alive.

Mann Parish stumbled into fame in the early Hip Hop community when he made Hip Hop Be Bop as a space filler on a demo tape for a gay porn film soundtrack demo and it got picked up for release. The rest is history.

I didn't like Male Stripper as it was nothing to do with the Hip Hop/Electro scene of the early to mid-eighties I was in at the time.

OK, here is one of my five favourite artists, for numerous reasons I won't go into on this happy thread. Some of the electronica that Bryan cooks up is sublime. Try this melodic piece with visceral undertones. I may post some of his more wayward stuff later...

Read some of the comments in the messages below on the link. Something about his work resonates when you are at the complete bottom.....and even though it is grim.....somehow you perk up. Will never stop listening to this master. Kept me going in dark times. I don't understand it but there it is.

A couple of my (Brighton based) mates taught themselves body popping and break dancing.

Although straight (said in deep voice :lol:) I loved all dance music, including all the stuff played in gay clubs, when most other clubs didn’t. That track was one of many. Luckily in Brighton, as well as gay clubs, there was the legendary Rory at Coasters too.

I’ve always thought exactly that about Joy Division, New Order, Bunnymen, The Smiths. Whilst narrow minded philistines such as the incredibly boring Steve :wanker: Wright always made it plain that he considered it depressing (because it wasn’t West Coast rock); simply by loving the music to our core, myself and my mates found it brilliantly uplifting. Counter intuitive. The same principle with some stunning, melancholic classical music.

I love youtube comments. People literally around the globe, with the same passion, they get it too.

Detroit's finest from the mid 90s
By this point Electro had been long detached from any Hip Hop involvement and was part of the output of Techno producers.
Drexciya were the main standard bearers for this forgotten bastion of electronic music.

Underground Resistance. One of the most important all time Techno labels from Detroit with Legendary status and deep rooted music morals. Sony famously approached them to licence a track from their catalogue by The Aztec Mystic - 'The Knights Of The Jaguar'
UR refused and Sony subsequently ok'd the production of a direct copy thinking they and all their courtroom power would bully silence out of UR. UR took them to court and famously defeated them heralding a huge victory for independent music labels the world over.

Here's the track in question.... A perfect Techno track.
