House / Dance fans anywhere?

[Charlotte_Ringwood]

Wondering if there are any House / Dance music fans around here.

I've loved electronic music since the 80s when I think listening to Jean-Michel Jarre tapes set me up to love anything synthesized! Through the 90s I've loved house and rave music which continues to this day.

I also produce House music though my released stuff is under my dead name Chris Ringwood but got something coming under my new name at least!

Love to hear from anyone with similar tastes.

Oh, Charlotte, I love this!

I am an old rocker at heart (Pink Floyd, Blue Öyster Cult, AC/DC). I think Pink Floyd and Elton John are the ones who got me hooked on synthesizers. While living in Germany in the 80s, I got introduced to Electronica as a genre. There was a very popular discotheque where we would go to hang out and party. Each night of the week, they had a different theme. I remember the place would be packed in the middle of the week on "House Night". It was so much fun!

Then, still in Germany, I discovered Kraftwerk.

Thanks Lori. Pink floyd are brilliant - "dark side of the moon" naturally lends itself to my ears.I totally get how living in Germany you'd get introduced to electronic music. Kraftwerk are of course legendary and that you post I like vert much. "More fun to compute" is a personal favourite with its deep hypnotic sound.

Germany has fuelled a lot of the dance music scene too creating some amazing Techno music. The other big Techno  home being Detroit.

A lot of these influences merge to make the electronic scene I love and glad to hear you've had some positive experience of it too.

I think Denmark, especially Copenhagen, is another city known for Techo. Long ago, I got invited to an online live stream of a rave party there. It was wild, and the music was so good. The video was crap, but the audio came through very well.
