I am not a DJ

Top ten songs Oct 10

Yes I know generally top 10s are relegated to something DJs do but I’m tired of nerding out on music alone so I’m just going to shout it out to the universe and let it drift where it may. Warning: these playlists are dance heavy but it’s what I’ve been obsessed with these days. If I were going to describe the stuff I’ve been getting into, I would definitely say it’s electronic based, heavy on the nu rave with some inclination towards minimal techno with trancey elements. I’m also digging the disco-y stuff and electro house stuff. ‘Cept that I’m wondering if maybe Italo Disco has reached it’s peak and is on it’s way out. I’m sure we can say that about nu rave as well although I’ll have to admit I'm not quite ready to end my love affair just yet. A little bit longer until after the holidays and then i'll end it. It'll be easier for the both of us.

Check out this trash fashion video. I hope they are kidding. Two words: NATHAN BARLEY
