Dance Forum Feedback - How do you want things done around here?

Zascar

100% agree with the notes on genre etc etc when posting a track, but a lot of the time people just do not bother. So should we try to enforce a certain coding when posting a track or will that just put some people off?

Techno alone would need about 10 threads

That's what we want to avoid really. Techno is an incredibly wide genre, we all know this. The kind of techno I'm into is primarily 127-132, but then there is also some more downtempo melodic stuff too. Correct me if I'm wrong but there are not too many people here into 150bpm stuff, I've not seen much of it anyway. But regardless I don't see why we cannot have one techno thread just as long as we put an indication as to the type of bpm or style it is.

I'm suggesting one for house/electrohouse, one for tech house and techno, and I'm looking for suggestions as to how to classify the rest, while tying to minimise the number of threads to try to cover the majority of what people here are into

Well I for one ...yaddayaddayadda....127-132 is lullaby music not techno......:D.


Ok, if it was up to me i'd classify like this :
1/Minimal, Tech house/Deep house/house.
2/Techno.
3/Electro, Breaks and dubstep.
4/DnB, Jungle, Hardcore, breakcore, speed core and other 160+.
5/Trance,Hard house,Hardstyle & jumpstyle.
6/Electronica and Ambient.
7/Dance to Tipperary

Some fans of different genres will be abhorred by that but thats just my take on it and then you have 7 threads taking up a load of space when 1 was doing the job.

I don't claim to be any techno expert but a simple look at the 'Techo' categories on beatport, whatpeopeplay and juno etc, most of it is sub 130 or so - I hear very little 135+ in my searching. Anyway, we digress...

What does anyone think as to suggested splits? I think 7 is too many - you'll find 2 will be very popular, another 2 only a little and the rest barely at all...

There have already been threads here on about what beatport call techno and imo 90% of it aint what I'd call techno, and in my head my opinion is by far the most important one:):)
Now we're entering a whole new game of soldiers ... like i said, 1 thread would probably do fine if used right.

Personally I'd rather just keep Jungle, Dubstep, Grime, UK Funky and DnB to one thread and keep anything ending in "-core" to it's own thread.

Breakcore has nothing in common with what i'm into, you might as well have techno and hard house and trance sharing a thread because they share a BPM count.
