Second spring for Electroclash (Page 1 of 17)

so having a negative opinion is forbidden in this thread?

Corrected - and yes, i want negative opinion...
3, 2, 1, go!

just like another mtf pop revival, in my view.

nurave and electrocrash sound and feel absolutely the same, and I think the term nu-rave was more like an invention by music magazines to have some new style they can praise. I have some friends who listen, to the digitalism stuff like 24/7, and there are some decent tracks on their album.

If you wanna hear some very italo-inspired electroclash/2-step whatever, you can check stuff from chromeo - kinda timberlake goes italo. Shitty vocals, they make really great instrumentals though imo.

I wouldnt say there is a second spring of the so called E-clash. Peaches and others have to do their job and so they ride the rock / indie  - wave, with some help from those electronic producers (like Simian Mobile Disco) and try to sound modern (well produced). I can hear the stuff on radio very often. It fits the daily program with all the guitar stuff beside.

the clash wave is still a thing on myspace with all these little bands, computer rockers and crying girls, indeed a clashy (bad) sound and its getting on my nerves since years, thats why myspace sucks a bit too.

imo Miss Kittin, Peaches or Fischerspooner are far from that so called electroclash. The few stars from the early 2000s with the chance for better productions and possibilities, because they were always better than the rest of it. It does not mean that I like their stuff.

For me it is more the era of Ed Bangers   even this shit is well produced, but it was born from the Daft Punk, Oizo family bla bla, another backround to create a huge designed thing,... stressy e-rock is the word for this maybe.

anyways, it only can get better, no?!

I heard metalo is big in the UK

I think you're full of prejudice - I mean the term invites to hate the music, like it was 1984 with Italo

It is just the other side of the medal of praising everything which sounds like Detroit.  I never read bad reviews about that...

Personally for me there is too much music around to get the full picture. But I like The Juan Maclean    THE FUTURE WILL COME. Is that clash, or disco, or wtf

shred everything you know

Mr. Maximal you have 666 posts just right now!

can't agree more about miss kittin. hard working gal, not like the scores of models/actresses/hi gloss mag trash/djanes that get to play big clubs these days mostly because of their look and or celebrity status.
i'm really looking forward to meeting her next week in zurich and even more so to get the crowd warm for her!

have to admit i have't followed her much in the last few years but in my book she's never been in the electroclash corner. electro yes, techno yes, but not electroclash. she even played some of the more electroish italo tracks at the time when i went to her shows and downloaded a bunch of live sets from the net.

very apt assessment kris! the funniest thing about electroclash was that NO ONE REALLY CARED ABOUT IT after about 2 months. it had dropped from headlines, clubs, etc almost entirely. the only people who really ever brought it up after the initial buzz were those in our very own extended circles (i was guilty of more than a few anti-electroclash rants myself back in those days)...
as far as electroclash revival...the term itself initially existed only as a marketing term describing all sorts of different, barely related genres - so what would the revival even base itself on? i'd imagine any real 'revival' would manifest itself as yet another vague, cheap, and marketable buzz word, ala nu-rave.

Not even interested in hearing any tracks of those artists.
