DJ Mag's A-Z of French Dance Music →
I adore both, but I’m not sure if I agree with the Yuksek/Metronomy comparison? The former feels a lot more expansive and ambitious to me, but I can’t really dispute something saying that he’s pretty much perfect.

Hot Chip's Al Doyle on dance music
Paste: ...If there’s one stereotype pertaining to dance music that you’d want to dispel, what would it be?
Doyle: That it’s brainless or stupid music. It is stupid music in some ways, but it’s very hard to get it right. I think that dance music in America is a particular odyssey to me, and its recently aspired to get a lot more recognition for the homegrown talented techno producers in America of Chicago and Detroit and elsewhere. For a lot of American kids, dance music is this weird music that they like in Europe, that they associate with glow sticks and dreadlocks...Dance music is something we have a lot of affection for—it moves you emotionally and can be very complex.
