Tunes

1995

Impossible to go out without hearing MK's remix of Nightcrawlers. Charts full of commercial dance music cheese from one-hit wonders or anonymous ghost producer factories. Constant vitriolic debate about 'handbag vs trance'. Billie Ray Martin re-releases 'Your Lovin' Arms'. Daft Punk release 'Da Funk'.

2015

Impossible to go out without hearing MK's remix of Nightcrawlers. Charts full of commercial dance cheese from millionaire 'EDM DJs'. Underground sales charts full of ghost producers but also talent from every corner of the world. Constant low-level debate about whether someone is playing 'techno, house, or tech house'.

Winner: 2015, quite simply because now you don't have to buddy up with some douche in a record store just to get the track you want. Thank you, internet!
