Dance/Techno Music


Feature Writer: James W. Coates

From Disco to Electro, dance music has as many flavours as Ben & Jerry’s. In these pages, we’ll demystify the genre and discover new tracks and acts reshaping the scene.

Read reviews of established dance artists like Madonna, DJ’s such as Paul Oakenfold, and discover new artists each week with dance music album reviews, career updates on favourite artists as well as listings for upcoming dance music festivals and parties.

All forms of dance music spin around here but expect to find an extra focus on electronica, pop-dance, techno and even some genre-blurring musical trends such as dance orientated trip hop and danceable R&B.

We’d love to hear from you in our discussions and blogs – after all it’s no fun dancing by yourself.
