i'm genuinely intrigued here... i've heard that in london it's big, but i can't imagine you all playing electroclash. tbh i can't really imagine electroclash being genuinely enthused about as a genre. enlighten me?

best wishes neutral

EDIT this is the best i can find:

What I think is interesting is how much of what the brain dead music meeja is currently calling 'Nu Rave' is in fact just electroclash. New Young Pony Club are pure electro, as are CSS and Hot Chip. The only obvious 'rave' influences are on the likes of Hadouken and not in a good way.

the music cataloguing site i use doesn't describe them as electroclash, nor wikipedia, tho both i think include the faint. when i think of electroclash i think of fischerspooner. they're ok, i thought they were cool back in 2001, but never got "into" the scene as i had a breakdown.

so what's it to be electroclash or synth-indiepop/nu rave?

did it go well smile

sorry for derailing your thread tacks. anyway, it's disappointing that no-one can provide any info on electroclash. wikipedia says "Electro fashion is also known as electroclash, a style that came about from the big underground cities known for a club scene, such as Berlin, New York and Detroit". so maybe the electroclash clubs are referring to some kind of dress code or whatever. cool.

wiki also says of 'electro':

Quote:
Electro music, a genre of music related to hip hop and funk.
Genres descended from electro, such as electroclash, electropop, and electro house, although this use is contentious

i guess it's the whole "we have that genre name already!" thing lol.

like i say, sorry tacks i was just interested in london.

Yep, got that. The name of the song is iteself referring to a street in brixton and the clubnight is referring to both the song and the street.

What a complicated lot we are down south!
