no cuts at mike o cause he is a friend, but energy 98 debuted when wkie in chicago died, people thought energy moved to st louis, and started listening. he banked off those listeners at first. now he has a loyal following and i'm sure some of those listeners are still from wkie. mike does a good job, but his timing could not have been more perfect.

and i have a station, that plays dance, hip hop, r n b, and pop. plus lots of old school tracks. not as successful as mike's energy 98, but i enjoy doing it and that is why it is still alive. and that is how i know anyone can make an internet station, cause i already have one.

Speaking of Energy Chi-Town

Think back to 2002 and compare it to today, 2005. Think about songs like Mother from M Factor or Res - They Say Vision. Those were solid marketable dance songs (and the Res cut was a remix).

Compare to today. Outside of a few big hits you've got Mynt or other such fluff. I'm not saying the songs are horrible, just that the "pow" isn't there.

And again, you people are happy dance is in this stage? This is our Nirvana, a Zero share and no one buying our records. Guess where that's gonna take us? I'd hope you'd think about what a write before you flame me.

Neither of which exactly lit the world on fire...

They're both good records I'll admit, but they've essentially come and gone w/o much of a lasting impact - "They Say Vision" was a modest crossover hit at best, and "Mother" barely threw up a blip on the radar.

> And again, you people are happy dance is in this stage?

How is this "stage" any different now than it was years back?

Frankly, things haven't changed much, barring DHT's current success and the abscence of certain dance stations that were on the air a few years ago. The batch of mainstream records that dance radio, FM or otherwise, has embraced in the past several months however has had a helluva lot more going for it IMO.

X, I truly mean no disrespect in saying this, but if the two records you cited previously are bona-fide pillars of mainstream dance music for you, then I'm beginning to understand why 2005's music hasn't done much for you. Different tastes I suppose.

It does stink that when listeners hit "seek" in the car, it won't even stop on 92.7 / 101.1, so I still run into tons of folks who don't even know we exist. We only get the hardcore listeners who will rig their antennae and frankly there's not enough of em. The average listener will listen occasionally when they recognize something, and nowadays it is most likely something retro or a top 40 remix!

Yes, we have fun on Thursdays as we can spin whatever! BTW, Mega is about to start streaming....

Re: Speaking of Energy Chi-Town

I'm not saying those were "hits", but as far as dance goes, they still show up as recurrents because...the songs are solid. They might not be crossover material, but they have the ability to last. Go back over your own charts for the last 5 years. Each year, I can find some pretty solid singles that were released....no, they didn't own the charts, but as pop dance goes, they certainly sounded great.

Today? A dance music famine. Drop the remixes and the DHT and what have you got? A lifeless dancescape of some very forgettable songs that won't make the recurrent bin.

That hits radio. If the music isn't solid, why listen? If nothing compelling is being released, it's pretty damn hard to hold onto an audience. I believe that's whats up with Energy AZ.

Surely I'm not the only cynical SOB that notices this? The music comes and goes, but like I said before man, everyone on here is cheering how great it is. Thing is, it's like preaching to the converted, because NOBODY is listening.

Isn't that a problem? I think it is.

Are you referring to Mike Oaks? Perhaps Mike was so strapped for cuts to spin he HAD to add those songs.

*Any* record has the ability to last provided it has the audience to give it a sturdy set of legs - whether or not a record actually does is a different story.

> Drop the remixes and the DHT and what have you got?

Plenty of solid material to work with.

> A lifeless dancescape of some very forgettable songs that won't make the recurrent bin.

Precisely my opinion of the time period you seem to lament so passionately.

I program and produce 8-10 hours worth of mixshow content every week; haven't had much trouble finding solid, playable records to work with lately, but very little (if any) of my recurrent/gold dance material comes from the year(s) in question.

> If the music isn't solid, why listen?

Music is one thing, but programming is an altogether different creature. If the programming isn't solid, then I agree - why bother listening?

The music by itself really isn't the weak link; how you go about putting it all together *can be* if it's not executed effectively (WPYM anyone?).

As a radio format, dance music may be suffering in certain markets here and there, but it certainly isn't from a lack of solid product. Once again, different tastes I suppose.

I actually tune in to Arizonas party station quite a bit, I am that little Number one that pops up from time to time. I think its a great sounding station, and this format (WOULD) work on FM. Your station would have more listeners if you promote it more.

Oh, I'm sorry....I forgot that a basement internet stream is more credible than the FM. BTW, how do you determine the amount of listeners?

I just said it was funny. You know which ones. There's a handful of cuts on your playlist that weren't on there a month ago (and they're not new). So I'm just wondering what changed your mind when you wouldn't add em a while ago...
