This is the thing about a lot of exciting moments in dance music, isn't it. The thing that makes them exciting is the tension between basically incompatible elements, which also makes them inherently unstable. You think you're being clever by rejecting the bad one and then when you finally get just the pure good stuff you realize it's kind of uninspiring on its own.

As a wise music critic once said, maybe if the bits that suck didn't suck so much, the bits that rock wouldn't rock so much.

on the surface, yes, but not sure if I fully agree. There is nothing all that inspiring in a lot of 80s rock, accomplished music it may be, but not very inspiring. Yet it is lionised by the critics as guarantor of good taste.

I tend to notice a double standard.

yes yes man like dilbert aware of most of these, a couple new to me. That soneido with DJ Sofa is future classic. DJ Sofa is on a roll, finland reprezent!

The Voodoo Magic one good also, 94-95 glr styled vibe but nice n rugged.

that's Tadd Mullinix, super underrated producer, although I think his techno is more unique and less overtly retro, just by virtue of it being analog distorted synth tweaking.

jungle is somewhat of an anomaly in that sense, new breaks or new sample sources or new ways of arranging things need to be discovered for vitality. Whereas with techno it can too often turn into overcomplicated sound design. This isn't an issue for jungle imo.
