In my DJ career of reasonable length, the most dichotomous music I have ever had the pleasure of playing is Europop, generally defined as any music that sounds like Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem on crystal.
People either like the stuff or they hate it. There is no in-between. Of course, I don't understand the latter people; after all, the heart palpitations don't hurt THAT much.
But that's also because I grew up with the classics of it -- such as:
Blue, Eiffel 65
Around the World (La Di Da), ATC
Castles in the Sky, Ian Van Dahl
Of course, there are the ones that are as subtle and well-spoken as a horny teenager.....
Everytime we Touch, Cascada
but those are nicely countered by the ones that successfully manage the taut and precise balance of energy, lyric, and make-you-want-to-move that good electronica and trance should.
With video for Jamie of I Must Be Dreaming......
Blinded, Hannah
