Lina Abascal's bloghouse

Remember that time between the mid to late 00’s, when indie and dance clashed, when we scoured Myspace for the most exciting new tunes and remixes, and when the internet met the dancefloor to create one big party community?Some call it indie dance or electroclash, and some refer to the era as bloghouse; a magical time that gave rise to big names like Diplo, Steve Aoki, Simian Mobile Disco, and Justice. It was post Napster, but before Spotify, and it was the wild west of music.15 years on, blogger Lina Abascal has captured that scene in her first ever book. Never Be Alone Again tracks the rise and fall of bloghouse. It’s a brilliant read that is as much a fun trip down memory lane, as a document of how this scene reflected a very unique time in music, and gave rise to something massive.From Crookers remixes, to Justice Vs Simian, and Does it Offend You, Yeah, this will catapult you back to every dance floor and worn out USB of your youth.My Moon My Man - Feist (Boys Noize Remix)We Are Rockstars - Does It Offend You, Yeah?To Protect and Entertain - Busy P ft.
