i guess you deleted your post, but I was gonna say it's not hard to imagine if your preference is for electronic music that sounds electronic, know what i mean?
but i guess the question is also why does it seem most "electronic" music is just content not to do anything interesting with timbres and textures?

but, really - are there a ton of house producers i don't know about pushing themselves on sound design?
why does it seem like it mostly has to be one or the other with no meeting in the middle - egghead academia anti-dance electronic music, and then dance music that's primarily just considered electronic music only because it uses electronic methods of production

i’m primarily interested in the move towards floor-centric dj-continuous-mix-club culture, away from stage-centric live music and gig culture, with the more static/spectating audience experience implied there. i see it pretty much as one big dj music ‘nuum from disco on down, across the break from music *recorded* with live instrus into e d m, which break is obvs the most imp thing for others. house is perfectly poised somewhere in the middle. all for the groove really, all tools for the dj, all moments to be completed in the beaded scenius-circuit. some of the greatest dance tracks are v simple records, they don’t have to ‘progress’ sonically/musically to interest/excite me. I grasp it primarily in a dj/dancer-centric manner.

I've always been primarily interested in dj/dance related (grew up on disco, after all), but I've been chasing the dragon since decades trying to find that perfect intersection between groove/funk/syncopation and interesting timbres.
