starck club was 80s though - i also get the impression they played pretty much anything
there was also a small little label in dallas that I had a couple of things on WAY back in the day (mostly stuff licensed from europe like new beat adjacent styles): https://www.discogs.com/label/7883-Oak-Lawn-Records
i'm under the impression that houston was also poppin' cause there were a few people that moved from there to where i was in south carolina like my last year of high school and they had all sorts of shows taped off radio stations they had lot of similar stuff - they kind of gravitated to me 'cause I was basically the only person there that also knew that stuff

I haven abiding obsession with Dutch pop-gabber novelty hits, proper Deep Europe business:



I think this is the only one that hit in the UK (and was memorably parodied by the Smurfs as "I've Got a Little Puppy."):

I’d draw the line at books coz thats a purely solo activity. films and music you get exposed to. and it’s all interesting as well. films in particular there’s always something you can get out of them. they’re navigation tools I think.

You draw what line?

What are some sounds of the 90s (as in literal sounds) that you don't hear much after the turn of the millennium?

The obvious one is breakbeats. You do hear them here and there but not in chart hits.

There's something about a tune like "Drinking in LA" that mixed posted that makes it of its moment, something you'd never hear now.

maybe this is 'meaning of the 90s' territory and gets us away from cheese

although obviously cheese in 2025 is different from cheese in 1995

i like this topic. i think one sound that you don't hear before the millenium, or at least not much, is pitch correction. i'm not a producer so idk but 90s tunes have voices that sound less enhanced.

probably the meta-answer is sounds that are made outside of DAWs.

The pitch correction autotune as we know it today was released in 97, and still probably wasn't really used very much for, I'm guessing, a couple of years.

yeah but like KLF practically Invented all of those Cheesy Rave/Pop Trance tropes. or were on them so early and in such top form that they kind of Became those tropes. i'm like inclined to believe that they really are 'justified and ancient' when i listen to their singles
