Whatup Yall (Crookers),
Who wants to DANCE DIRTY all night long? Well, today’s post is going to profile another electronic music blog that is better known and is more frequently visited. The blog is called Gotta Dance Dirty. The blog is written by an anonymous poster that goes by the name of Jonah, other than his name no much else is known about the author. Knowing the author’s credibility or authority on the topic is relatively unknown since the author does not disclose any personal information. This blog is related to mine because it pretty much covers the same topics as my blog will cover minus the music culture and discussing of controversial topics that surround the genre of electronic music. The author posts a blog roughly every 2-4 days and the posts usually discuss new artists, songs, remixes, music videos and other trends or newsworthy topics surrounding the genre. The blog is pretty popular, but to know exactly how popular is difficult because the blog does not have a hit counter and is not rated on technorati.com. However, this blog must be fairly well known because the website exclusively promotes several club events that they coordinate and put together. These Gotta Dance Dirty showcases which feature several up and coming unknown DJs have been a hot ticket to get in Los Angeles. Also, since the majority of the events occur in LA, I’m going to assume that the author is a native of the LA greater area.
This particular blog relates well to my blog because like stated earlier it encompasses the same things that I am going to discuss except the social commentary. This blog is not scholarly or academic but is fairly professional. Legitimate songs from artists are sent to this blog site so their songs can be heard online by fans and the blog is aggregated and a lot of other music blog aggregators, which usually only aggregates the top hitting blog sites. The posts themselves are not that detailed or rich, they are more like small descriptions of the songs, albums and artists that they post about. The posts have a little bit of personal opinion since the author interjects his own thoughts on the posted material on top of the description that the author provides. Here is an example post:
Sorry for the late post this week guys! We are having an unbelievable night tomorrow night with the amazing master of warehouse soundZodiac Cartel, along with one half of new electro duo Bass Weazal, Will Bailey.Circuit Freq and Mr. White will both also be doing sets in the big room as to promote the new track "The Filth" which was remixed by all acts that will be in the Avalon tomorrow night. Check out all of the new remixes onBeatport. I have posted the Mr. White remix in this post if you want to check that one out for free :)
Tomorrow night all you dirty dancers that are over 21 will be entering through the Honey Lounge entrance which is the left side entrance if you are staring at the front of the Avalon. All you youngin's still enter through the main entrance and there will be a GDD™ list there for you as well. We will not be doing The House Party room but rather we will be teaming up with our good friends at BBE and Everyday in the Legit Lounge to give you the best music experience possible. Bring your danceypants!
Here the author is talking about an event that the website, Gotta Dance Dirty, put on in local LA venue, The Avalon. Not that detailed, primarily descriptive, but also nice and short and to the point. The audience that this blog is reaching out to is anybody that is a fan of electronic music and enjoys hearing new artists and going to concerts that the blog site puts on.
This blog will primarily feed my music interests and have commentaries on new music releases, upcoming concerts, and the author’s opinion on new material. My site is going to differ in the sense that not only will I be discussing new music and artists but the culture surrounding the electronic music genre and provide a fresh commentary on what I think about it and hopefully create worthwhile material to read about.
Can You Feel It?
