Do you listen to unce music?

[Pauly 4001]

Anyway - There is a lot of really crap techno out there. But there is some great stuff too.

Here's some great stuff

Kompressor Does Not Dance!

 

[Spectrum]

Another "unce" reference.

 

[Wyvern]

Not Wubwub, but Dubstep Korn IMHO goes hard

 

[Wyvern]

Also Techo rock.

Only once in a while...



Seriously, being a Broadbass owner for 3 days now, I feel the urge to come up with something.
Would this here qualify as at least half-time unce?

Blue Monday doesn't really have the pronounced hi hat "unce" sound, it's more like a half-open hi hat sound to my ears. That song still slaps 40 years on, but I think it's "pre-unce".

 

[MonetBass]

My mind immediately went to this scene.

unce, oontz, boots 'n cats, boots 'n pants... I love all the names for this thing and we all know what each other's talking about.

I feel like the music (mentioned by OP) would be more like "boots 'n, boots 'n, boots 'n, boots 'n" than the "boots 'n cats, boots 'n cats".
(Basically, a constant "Bass hit" on every beat, rather than every other like "Bass n Snare, Bass n Snare" etc.)

YMMV

Agreed, which I why I prefer "boots 'n' pants" to "boots 'n' boots" or "unce, unce."

This is such a silly and fun conversation!

I love the unce. I love bass, and synth bass is no exception. Also it's all rooted in disco, which has some of the best basslines ever.

Luke Vibert has been at this for a few decades now and he's serious without taking things too seriously

Ah, a prime example of "Eurodance". This is the stuff that was largely responsible for introducing the masses to house in the early '90s.

Ooooooh, I remember. I remember everything. EVERYTHING!!! I was so glad glam got wiped off of the earth by Grunge. Spent some time in the US when Nevermind exploded and I was all in. Then, coming back to Europe, there was nothing but the dentist from Holland aka Dr Alban on the air. Total disappointment, because I came home with the illusion that finally there was hope for European radio stations. Nope. Wanted to eat my flanel shirts. Made me angry in a Henry Rollins kind of way. 3 years later I find myself in the midst of the electronic Time Warp Club scene of my area (no 70s connection here, none!). No chemicals for me, but man I had and have to admit the events were intense. Still play in a Grunge tribute band today though

My dad showed me this song (and introduced me to Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes) when I was a kid. I never made the connection between it and "unce" music until just now!
