fans of electro, anyone?

it's all in the beat... (with a few cheesy melodies here and there...)

right?

Funkbot - calm down, if u don`t like the music, then just stay out of it.


























That too difficult?

...and I was at this funky restaurant in houston just eating my french fries when all of a sudden i hear this poppin' beat and really perky new-order sounding synth lines...a little bit of dx7 presets too...

i quickly run up to the cashier and ask the guy next to the store's cd player, "What the hell is that? That's awesome..." And I'm dancing around, dropping a few body locks. The guy gives me this really nervous look. He says,

"I don't know what it is...it's a satellite transmission..."

And, while still dancing, I'm like, "what? satellite?what are you talking about?"

His reply:

"It's just muzak."

Maybe I should just stay in my own little world.

i dunno if this "muzak" was really transferred via satellite, but i heard it at barnabys cafe ... which ordinarily plays disco and funk, etc. my waiter-with-an-attidude was the one to set me straight about my nerdiness...dancing to muzak and all

you know you are really out of touch when you start poppin and lockin to breakdance...let's just say i got issues...

so, sage are you going to go to the "bring da noize" party? they're going to have luke slater, green velvet!!!! aaaaaahhhh eeeeeekkkkkk malfunnnncccction

just about to say...i really don't think electro and hip hop have ever strayed from one another...very similar philosophy in both musics throughout history...attitude is a critical component in both, yes? and the robots theme hasn't died yet...

and puff daddy outright copies cybotron's PAC-JAM in one of his latest videos, where he does some crappy breakdancing...you know what i'm talking about...

the cybotron original is a bit better...

The thing I find curious is that electro has come to have two different meanings...people associate it with Kraftwerk and even the more "robotik" sounding 80's hits, but at the same time it is applied to a lot of more powerful european electro-industrial. It is funny to note that a lot of old elektro lacks bass...I guess because when the innovaters like Kvaftverk started doing it, they had ghey little analog drum machines to work with, Roland hadn't even started the TR Series, no?
