300th Article Post: 90s Underground HI-NRG Eurodance Techno Mixes

My 300th Blog Article Post! 


In case you didn't already notice, I absolutely LOVE RAVE Culture & techno!

If not for Tribal Fusion, Yoga, anime, and Chinese Pop... and playing violin when I was a kid... I'd probably ONLY be listening to TECHNO... and maybe some 80s music... (and Disney)

But, as it stands.... Tribal Fusion Belly Dance REALLY opened me up to EVERYTHING. I even have Balkan brass & folk waltzes.

You have no clue just how eclectic my hard drive is. But, lemme keep it real: it's MOSTLY TECHNO! (Got a lot of Tribal Fusion too... like a ton)

Regardless of all the lovely musical stuffs I have.... My deepest LOVE is Hi-NRG Eurodance & Happy Hardcore!

It feels so good! It sounds so good!
I JUST want THAT feeling!

To me, "Heaven" ideally would be that feeling in that moment swept up in the song, in the melody! Those 4/4 beats! Samples, dubs, synthesizers, bass. Like a sound, like a concept, like an emotional euphoria...

I DON'T need drugs to get high. Just the music!

If Heaven is REAL, I don't want to be ANYTHING, I JUST want THAT!
I couldn't care about evolving my soul, or becoming an expansion of whatever...
I'd rather JUST be the expression of the music, AND the listener, the receiver, the bass, the moment & the emotion with bliss of infinity, with no time, no end, no beginning... so meaningful, it's beyond meaning, and doesn't even need it.

A lil' bit of Hardcore Techno:





90s Underground Hi-NRG Eurodance techno. Lots of RARE stuff:

90s Nostalgia!

 Ever since about late January I would find myself with 90s Nostalgia! Frequently!

I found myself listening to everything from "Black Box", to "L.O.F.T.", to "Corona", to "Rockell", to "Lasgo".

Anyways, I kept having an uptick with people "liking" my mixes which began having a trend to old school 4/4 beats techno, like: Hi-NRG, Eurodance, Happy Hardcore, etc.

So, I went to 8tracks, and thought about doing some other mixes... I did another bohemian mix....



Then, I felt like doing 90s stuff....






So, I made an underground 90s mix of Dance & Hip Hop with quite a bit of UK & Euro types of stuff...






Next thing I knew, I was publishing lots of techno. Especially 90s, and a lil' bit of the early 2000s.






Makes me miss Pirate Pebbs & going to Karaoke.

We'd discussed producing her a theme song, and maybe some singles. But, we lack funding. I have no idea what she would do her theme song as... I figure if I helped her produce an E.P. it might sound something like Prince's 80s classic "Purple Rain" album, or just general pop & dance, maybe some nautical fusion.

However, if I were to do a theme song I'd do it as an old school style Hi-NRG Eurodance techno, but ALSO have a Tribal-fusion Folk version, with violins, zills, doumbeks, and maybe some kind of strings like dulcimers, lutes, mandolins, something like that... I dunno, something with Yo-ho-ho, ya-ya-yo... I dunno, Pirate-ish stuffs! That way I could sing in karaoke & clubs, but also preform with a live band at Pirate & Ren' fairs... ;) 'cause some folks are kinda "purist" and snobby. And, id probably make a funny video...

If i produced an album, I'd also have to do the same thing. Do the Techno version, and THEN do the songs in another album in the analog version with real acoustic & hand played interments.

I like the techno theme because of the Eurodance angle & the whole "fusion" and Steam Punk, and futurism... and the "pirate" side of downloading things, stealing intel, covert stuff, or all kinds of futurism themes popular in the 90s in Europe. Sounds like a lot of fund to play with! Zeplins, and Dirigibles, and space ships... Holodecks, Virtual reality... I LOVE Star trek, and Star Wars, and exotic things...

But, I also like the Tribal fusion stuff, and ancient Arabic & Egyptian beats, and Nautical whiles, Celtic & folk music, or New Age, Gypsy, or Revolutionary marching drums. Maybe even Pigeon English, ha!

If I were to produce a techno E.P. It would be a mix of sounding like "La Bouche" and "Blümchen". I would ALSO like to do some songs NOT in English! Thankfully, we live in a time period where people can move beyond the stuck-up attitude of English Only. I'd probably just stick to languages I can deal with, like: German, Mandarin, and maybe Pekingese. But, I think some Arabic fusion could be good. Yella Habibi! :D
Too bad, I don't have the funds for that tho... right now... AND, since I had surgery on my throat I'd need vocal coaching for a while...

So, it's kinda just a dream I/we have... for now... kinda frustrated, because if something had gone through like it was supposed to, I could already be started on any of that. That, and I also have some other creative things/productions including animation/video/publishing also which could've at least started going into beginning fazes of production, which is also why I've been so quiet. But, I can't move forward until THAT stuff does. 

But, I'm still broke over hear... It's like being stuck in limbo... I have the money, but I DON'T. It's like being stuck between it. And, I'm running out of food too.

It's really a shame because I have SO many talented friends, associates, but they can't get work either.

pirate wench dancer

Dark clouds above your head
All I see is blue sky
Love's shining light on me
Let me see through your eyes
I never needed someone else
It's too revealing
It'll only try to pull yourself
in believing

Don't you wanna know
How I feel
Don't you wanna know
How I feel

Love lets you down again
But I made my own choice
Can't seem to find your way
When you speak with my voice
Everything's wrong that could be right
I was so excited
Don't be afraid, of all your light
Just fight it

Abigail - Don't You Wanna Know (Lyrics)

Kändiß Tribal Rave Fusion

Kändiß Likes Tribal Fusion @ Rave 


Especially Eurodance HI-NRG Techno & Happy Hardcore

But, I also like Dub Step, which is good for popping @ locking.



A Lil' track I mixed with Dumbek beats instead of 4/4 beats.


Most Tribal Fusion dancers like Dub Step, and several are fans of bands like:

Bassnecatar, Kraddy, The Glitch Mob, Mim0sa, Beats Antique, R/D, David Starfire, and more.

I like those too. They are more down tempo, whihc is great for Tribal.

Tribal Fusion dancers also like Goth & Industrial bands like:

Shiva In Exile, Pentaphobe, Sephiroth, Geomatic, Amon Tobin, DJ Mosavo, VNV Nation, and compilation albums like: Tribal Matrix I & II, Strange Flesh, Desert Grooves, Electric Oasis.

These graphics were a throwback ode to some old 1990s Eurodance & hardcore rave CD Cover Art from Germany.
