Examples of mid-90s style dance/house, but recorded in recent years?

Pawnless Endgame · 12 Jul 2022 at 12:48

Commercial dance is going through a mid-90s phase at the moment. Beyoncé has released "Break My Soul" which has the same organ sound from Livin' Joy's "Dreamer", Nightcrawlers "Push The Feeling On" and Alex Party "Don't Give Me Your Life". I quite like it, although it feels a bit too bandwagon-y for me. Like she's using her established status to latch onto this scene. I much prefer Beyoncé as an R'n'B artist.

Livin' Joy and Reel 2 Real were massive dance acts in the mid-90s, so I was looking for more along the lines of their stuff, but recorded in maybe the last 3 years or so. This springs to mind, recorded last year!

Have you listened to Bicep?

Saw them at Glasto, really reminded me of old school 90s dance.

Having zero interest in commercial music, mainly because I have little time to listen to music anymore, this is a breath of fresh air. 90s or early 2000s dance/trance was the pinnacle of music for me.

I fell across Bicep end of last year via a YT music recommended list and can't get enough of them.

That Glasto set looks amazing. That's the other thing about dance music is that I have always been a sucker for the production at gigs and clubs, especially with lasers and LED panels. Although not house music, but the Chemical Brothers have always been great for production value.

In for Bicep! Epic. Best artists I've had the pleasure of seeing live.

I thought this track was decent nod to the 90s when it came out.

Yeah I was in the crowd at Glasto, that was really special.

That and Confidence Man were my two favourite acts of the festival

I prefer Ejeca over Bicep but can't knock their production value.

A lot of Confidence Man tracks have a 90s dance vibe to them as well.

I'm not sure you understood the thread, we arene't looking for old bangers, we want new songs in the style of the mid 90s.

Not exactly new but Blind Faith - Chase & Status. If the song doesn't then the video absolutely nails it. I'd have been in one exactly like it, if we had camera phones back then
