What sort of music is this?

[BroccoliSpears]

I want a CD of a specific type of music but I'm not sure what the genre is called. It's clubbing music (at least I imagine it is, I haven't actually seen the inside of a night club for many years). It's got a really obnoxious LOUD pumping beat - quite a simple pulsing beat, quite fast. It often has quite a sweet meoldy over the top - something simple and tuneful and repeated ad nausium, often with a girl or a chipmunk (?) singing. The melody is often something I recognise, so probably covers of old songs.

I think possibly Scooter is the sort of thing I mean, but not necessarily just Scooter and I don't know for sure that Scooter is what I mean.

Trance is what you're looking for.

The new Clubland compilation - vol 13 - would probably do the trick.

I would prob not go for MoS or an annual as they typically only have one/half a CD of trance.

Do you mean this kind of thing

Trance sounds quite peaceful. I don't want peaceful.

I don't want chill out music.

Clubland compilation sounds promising...

That sort of thing MrsR - but possibly even simpler than that. That was almost too tuneful and songlike. I'm sure I've heard stuff that is just repetitive drums and a fairly short vocal repeated too.

Lol - it's no good asking me! I'm hoping someone will tell me...

This is the sort of thing. Is there a compilation of various people doing this sort of thing?

You need Misdee. She's a DJ and Knows These Things.

I don't have a clue. I'm a boring old fart; when I hear this kind of crap music I say the kind of things that my mother used to say when we watched TOTP.

sounds like old skool house to me

Progressive trance/techno (what is popular now) is far from chilled Broccoli! Stuff like this and this, right?

Hmmmm actually, having listened to the scooter link that is more like hard house, or German hard house to be specific

Here's some old skool house. I suspect it's not what you're after?

I've spent the last 5 days in Ibiza and am fairly confident that a Clubland type CD is what you are looking for. It is branded under trance/techno/electro depending on who you speak to but that I'm farly confident that is what you want.

more house

I think Ewe has it actually! mainstream stuff, it's branded under a variety of names techno, electro, trance etc etc

Yes, that Cascada link especially.

Clubland. Will look for a 'clubland' album.

Thank you!
