Well I learned at an early age i liked to dance. At school dances I would dance a lot. I used to hate country music until i learned something very unique. When i was junior in high school I paid 300 dollars for this very authentic looking fake Nevada drivers license. It made me 22 years old. Well, I started the bar scene at a young age. We had this one bar that had a disco upstairs called the upper room and a country bar called the bamboo tree downstairs. Well I started going there on the weekends with a few of my friends who also had the same kinda ID as me. Well im a very good at observing things and after going to this bar i learned that i always had to ask girls to dance upstairs in the disco and sometimes get turned down, but downstairs in the country bar there were all kinds of women who asked me to dance the 2 step and i always had to say no. Hell i didnt even know how to do it at that time, but it looked like fun and i figured it was a good way to meet more women. So i took some country dance lessons that were offered out at the Junior College in my home town. My buddies thought i was a nut. They laughed at me, but when i learned how to country dance and i started wearing my boots and hat and the whole get up and they saw me having a good time and dancing and meeting all these women who were 4 years older than me, they stopped laughing. Its funny how your tastes change when u keep an open mind. I used to never listen to country music. I always said it sucked till this happened to me. The women downstairs at the tree were so much nicer and easier to talk to. Hell they knew i wasnt 21 probably. They laughed with me at all my bullshit. The women upstairs were more upity and fake to me. It got to the point where i wouldnt even go up there anymore. Well they closed that dive down about 8 years ago. lol I had a lot of good times there and thats where i started listening to country music more and to 2 step.

Dance Music Definitions
Acid:
Made with a Roland TB-303; TB stands for Transistor Baseline, it's a kinda drum computer. Acid is a high squeaky sound. normal bpm (130) (2)

Ambient:
No defined beat, just chill-out sounds. (2)

Club:
Simple bassdrum; influenced by disco

Euro-dance:

Mostly female vocals and male rap. Always a loud, well-defined bassdrum; normal to fast

Euro-rave:
Consists of fast breakbeats and a typical rave sound. (Synth); always very fast (160+) and loud;

Gabber (gabba):
Made in Rotterdam; VERY fast (180+); not music really ;-) (2)

Garage:
4:4 house wiv singin' and loadsa hihat

Goa Trance(1)
Goa trance is recognised by the following characteristics that distinguish it from other forms of trance.

1) a very steady 4/4 beat.

2) lots of very psychadelic sounding wobbly noises, and acidy sounds. 3) a lot going on, noise wise. No poncey Detroit minimalism here - just chuck in loads of boingy wibbly noises, all on top of eachother. Imagine early Eat Static, but with less imaginative rhythms, and you're getting close. Pyschedelia is the key.

4) It is traditional, but not obligatory, to have at least one sample from a cheesy 50s Sci-Fi film or Star Trek sample per track. "All channels and frequencies clear", "The electrons do it to the neutrons, the neutrons do it to themselves", kind of thing.

5) Tracks generally go on for ages.

Goa Trance(2)
It's got a really HARD bassline, but not TOO fast, but definately faster than your house and slower than D&B. Then distinct buzzy/wavy/trancey sounds recurring. Solid stuff, nice stomping music.
Handbag House:

70s disco influenced house
Handbag = cheesed up house with squeely vocals. (6)
Handbag Jungle: Early 90's hardcore(6)
Hardbag = handbag with no cheese and no vocals. Surely hardbag = house.(6)

Hip Hop:
How about: 'House. What is house? Technotronic, KLF, or something you live in? To me, house is Phuture, Pierre, Fingers, Adonis etc. The pioneers of the hypnotic groove: Brian Eno, Tangerine Dream, Kraftwerk, Depeche Mode and the Yellow Magic Orchestra. This album is dedicated to you...'(8) Or: 'House is a feeling...House is an uncontrollable desire to jack your body etc etc...'

Jungle:
Drum and Bass (!?) (1) DEEP baseline and a well-pronounced breakbeat; also fast (160); many reggae influences. (2)

Nu-energy:
Nu-energy is predominantly characterised by a hard techno-based 4/4 bass beat with plenty of pumping basslines. Melodies tend to be pretty anthemic/epic synth stuff and breakdowns are par for the course. Cheesy, breathless vocal samples can be found in many nu-energy choons too. Basically, nu-energy is the less accessible offshoot of commercial european-type house, mutated in to something harder and faster. leading nu-energy exponents include baby doc (with his choon "Neurotica" being regarded as something of a nu-energy classic), Blu Peter (check out his "Elevator" project and the "magic","first movement" and "shinny" releases, all of which are on React records I think) and DJs Tall Paul and Tony de Vit (i'm not sure if they do their own choons though). Red Jerry (a prolific remixer and one half of JX - you know, "son of a gun" and "you belong to me") is one of the best of the bunch in my opinion. an obvious example of clubs would be London's "Trade" night. Nu-energy attracts a disproportionately large gay crowd and many nu-energy clubs supposedly have a gays only door policy (Note:i'm not getting in to the politics, just telling it like it is). Labelwise, check out React, Moonshine, Hooj.

Punkcore:

Gabba with punk samples. No, as old punks know hardcore = 80's punk. Then ravers stole the expression. Thus punkcore = hardcore. and hardcore really = ravecore.(6)

Techno: Techno is the most versatile of all the genre. It ranges from the intensely hard percussive sounds made mostly of white noise (waveforms-Jeff Mills) to the disco sounds that were around in the seventies (South Side-Dave Clark). The diversity is such that Techno is no longer Techno but a whole host of even more specific "pigeon holes" Like minimal techno, which makes the best club music as there is such a large opportunity to show off ones DJ'ing skills. (7)

Trance:
Many different (synth) sounds, always a clap (or something like it) on the odd beat, so the music goes: beat - clap+beat - beat - clap+beat - beat etc. IMO the best trance comes from England;

Trip Hop:
Semi Hip Hop stuff with bonus acid bleeps and less lyrics (3)

Music based around hiphop beats with little or no rapping and employing electronic sounds (bleeps, acid riffs?) rather than old soul funk or jazz samples (but not exclusively); covers the 120/130 bpm acid-hop of the dust brothers, tales from the woodshed, bomb the bass with justin warfield...... to the laid back beats of mo'wax and the bristol sound; the two extremes don't sound very similar at all and most people hate the term including james lavelle (mo'wax mainman) and tricky (used to work with massive attack)

;D ;D ;D
