That sounds awful and pretentious.
I haven’t bought tickets yet , I should / probably will.
West Coast confusion from S.P.A.Z crew.
We become fashionable every 10 years.

Warehouse days of glory you say?
Which sample pack was this? Sorta trying to get a feel for what’s being referenced - my experience is mostly US East Coast here. I don’t think it’s ever really gone away, just gone to more of the not-club venues (if you know what I’m referring to). It seems like there’s still a distinction between that at Drum code-type “mainstage techno”, but no one really seems to fuss about it too much.
Sorry, I should have been clearer. It’s this one
When I was referencing styles it’s always a generalisation but when I think back to those tunes they usually had distinct choruses, verses, breakdowns etc. Not so much automation of filters etc. think Korg M1 bread and butter sounds, 909 drums usually behind a rhythm sample. Not detracting in the slightest but generally of a less polished production. I could list some examples but I’d just get carried away posting my favourite songs!
Ah, go on then…
Trust me, I could post hundreds!

So you’re basically referring to the more UK-y and slightly more underground-y variant of Eurodance?

Yeah I guess so. I deffo hearing more stuff these days that’s arranged in that style. There are a few classics of the genre to come over to us from the states too. Ones that immediately spring to mind are…
There’s probably a lot of stuff that gets labelled as “Hi-NRG” or simply “House” that you’d also greatly enjoy. Dig down! 
Prime example of the newer stuff I mean
Piano, vocal, breakbeat and a dirty bass line. All good stuff.

“Legacy Pet” from the new Clark EP has a distinctly 90s vibe (and this is a good thing):

It’s this Bug Khan And The Plastic Jam - Made In Two Minutes? Thats whats on my 12" Or is that just the version with the rap? Doesn’t sound much like other Reel To Reel stuff… or am I thinking of Reel 2 Reel!!
Classic BTW!!!
Got me thinking of another synth inspiration, the legend that is Frank De Wulf. His influential and seminal classic coming right up… One day I’ll crack that sound! Even tho I’m pretty sure it’s just a snippet sample played across the keyboard!

On a different tip you could put this out tomorrow and it would fly. Class stands the test of time. Its a proper classic off a little label from Manchester. Steve Burgess was another guy behind tons of tunes from the period
