electroclash

When I first moved to NY in 2000, there was this place called Passerby which would only play that type of music. It’s fun to go out get drunk and dance to, but to go in the studio and make stuff like that for me isn’t creative, it’s very retro. But then again, I think something always comes out of it, right ? Like Peaches. She’s the best. I remember when the dance thing was happening first and there would be house versions of old songs always on the radio and now you are getting electroclash versions of Whitney Houston. It feels like it’s about to become something else. It’s fun.

It has a lot of raw energy. The music it’s referring to was totally underestimated by people of my generation. Human League, you just can’t top them, right ? It’s Good Friday so it’s illegal here to play music after midnight tonight. We could do some acapella electroclash instead.
