If you are at a dNb night then Hype is dance floor friendly. If you are at some crap bar in town, then commercial clubland music is dance floor friendly.

The term itself is nonsensical. I can quite easily dance to 'flashcore' or any form of hardcore above 160bpm.... but give me something slower and i can't move to it. it's too slow. You have to dance like a bird with all your effeminate moves and you look like a tit. How can anyone move their body so slowly and feel comfortable? You just end up looking like a lady boy such as Justin timberlake.

What are you trying to achieve? more listeners? If that's what you want then start playing gatecrasher.

If it's the music you wish to advance rather than the number of participants then it's going to take something radical.

Those who push the boundaries and carry on inventing new sounds always leave genres and produce something on their own...then the previous genre becomes stale, just like your staple 'techno' scene now.

venetian snares
la peste

All moving in their own direction producing something you don't affiliate with many others...

Or you can go the other way and producers start to produce music for the masses and the genre they were once pioneers in, also falls apart...

eg sell outs ... then all the wannabes who are part of the 'hero-worship' of these former pioneers remain and copy this music - thus, the previous genre (in all its glory) has taken on a ghost image of dilute techno with added sweeteners.

Shout going out to the aspartame crew.. haha
If I want to hear a bag of spanners falling into a spinning propellor, I'll do a wingwalk on the Crunchie bi-plane and lob a toolkit and listen REALLY hard to the next 2 minutes as the engine disintergrates around me sending metallic thrashing sounds crossed with the wind, a grating of metal and ultimately a crash as the plane impacts into the ground.

I don't want to hear that though. It's just not my cup of tea.

My cup of tea is made of throbbing basslines, screeching 303's and a vocal telling me that "it's the plumber".

Horses for courses though innit.
