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.

Nine Inch Nails The Slip Download

New free download album from Nine Inch Nails, The Slip, available now via the band's website.
Last week Nine Inch Nails released a band new single, “Discipline” for free on their website. The band hinted at more to come with an enigmatic message to check back on May 5.

This morning at midnight, to the delight of fans, those who downloaded the single received a special e-mail urging them to visit the website once again for the free full length album The Slip.

“Thank you for your continued and loyal support over the years - this one's on me”, Reznor told fans in a message posted on the website.

Since parting ways with their traditional record label, Nine inch Nails have been very busy releasing free music via their website. In March, the band released a 36-song instrumental package Ghosts I-IV.

Nine Inch Nails are also gearing up for a North American summer tour starting in Vancouver on July 28. Presale tickets are available on the band’s website.
