you'll have to listen to it yourself, i'm not going to rewind, but i'm pretty sure they said it was because of post-dubstep. i think when i was looking at old threads the other day thirdform was the big champion of post-dubstep. there's loads of old threads where he really bigs it up. he said that it is the most profound music he's ever heard and better than anything that has come out of a millenia of turkish culture

I listened to this earlier and wondered what dissensus would make of it (actually I didn't wonder, I knew)
Interesting that they use the disclosure overlay there because I'd forgotten that 2012 was when disclosure and a lot of those other (mainly british i think?) pop house acts were charting
It's weird that there are ppl that would consider 2012 the best year for dance music on the basis of (guessing here) Joy Orbison and Jam City
Makes me wonder is it generational or maybe it's just that kind of FACT-y taste at work
Also made me briefly, wildly consider starting a thread about what IS the best year for dance music ever
I was sure it was 1994 but those randall sets are making me think 93/92 could be better

i quite like the podcast. it's cool that someone bothers. i liked the one where they said that slowthai was the sound of austerity britain, that seemed right to me

92/93 were better because jungle was no good until 1995, and 1994 was the year of trip hop

Oh, yeah.
The original UK Garage nights of the late-nineties and early-noughties - nevermind the Dreamscapes and Helter Skelters of 1992, 1993 and 1994 - are not in the living memory of my generation whereas Butterz at Cable, Rinse's 18th Birthday at the O2 Academy Brixton, FWD>> at Dance Tunnel, Crazylegs and Numbers seemingly everywhere, 02:31 at Rainbow, Audiowhore at the Coronet, Boxed at Birthdays, and all the other weekly or monthly nights around the country which had a connection to Rinse, all are. Therefore, regardless of whether the music and the scenes of '92 to '94 or '97 to '01 were objectively better, it's inevitable that the period Chal and Tom are referring to (roughly 2009 to 2015, with an emphasis on 2011 to 2013 when so much was going on adjacently) will become cognitively entrenched as our golden era.

I guess I took their statement too literally maybe, that they thought 2012 was when the best dance music was made
Which, is just, like, their opinion, man
2012 was probably just about the last year I had when I was still really into new music (rap mainly, some rnb and deep tech), my friends who now have kids didn't have kids, I was still 27ish, doing loads of mdma and laughing gas, Young Thug was big, Rae Sremmurd, I went to that deep tech night in tottenham, i had the world by the short and curlies
