Dance Music (Now with added 'name that song!')

--- Quote from: JLM ---Let's start with the basics and maybe we can figure this out. Can you give me the name of at least one of the DJ's who played the tune? From there I can probably figure out style and that'll help narrow it down a bit.

The problem is, it was played in the main tent, which is a mix of everything. If it was in the breakbeat tent, or PsyTrance stage or anything like that, it would have been a lot easier. The other problem is that it was dropped by incidental DJs. You know, the DJs who play while the next big act is setting up. All of which gave me the vibe that it was a really well known classic to keep the crowds happy while they waited for the main event. That's the only reason I gave it a shot, as the QC forums aren't exactly a bastion of dance music. I shoulda asked someone what it was at the time. I probobly would have forgotten it anyway, I was a little worse for wear.
Anyway, I guess it wasn't Trance, Techno, Drum n Bass or Acid, which leaves Breakbeat. Or 'Nu-school Breaks' as I believe it's known these days.
Anyway, I'll add some more dance crazy to the mix.
Roni Size - Brown Paper Bag
Ebony Dubstars - Power of Rah!
Squarepusher - Come on my Selector
Ralph Myerz & The Jack Herren Band - Think twice (and pretty much everything else they've done)
The Rogue Element - My Style

--- Quote from: kidd o ---dance music is a pretty subjective classification... I've had 200 people dancing at a party to the faint...
does it sound like sasha? no, but that dosen't mean it's not dance...

I've had 50 to 100 people dancing to At the Drive In. Does that mean it IS dance music?
No. Same with the Faint. Same with Radiohead.

So you have to put dance music through a battery of tests in order to prove its purity??
That seems a little ridiculous don't you think? I mean... if its music.... and people dance to it... why try to complicate it with labels and classification?
My sub argument is for other types of music.
Should there have to be a textbook definition for what Jazz is for instance? If there were a group playing music and they claimed to be jazz would you feel the need to approach them and say:
I'm sorry but due to sub clause C of the Jazz litany you all are technically Blues. Please cease and desist the use of the term Jazz.
Last but not least if you listen to the music on wet from birth without lyrics where would you put it anyway?
Remember were still evaluating art here… it can’t possibly be wrong for one person to call something dance music and another to call it something else. They are still just evaluations.
How can it be bullshit to state a preference Barry??

It's a bit coloured, and of a wider scope than just dance music, but if it's NOT in there there is absolutely no chance of it being dance music in the way this thread is set up to discuss.
