Damn I thought Stephen Fry liked EVERYTHING and could have easily seen him in the local dive in the mosh pit getting down to some noise.

Dance beats (whether liked or not) tap into the hypnotic and tribal beats that our ancestors must have dug the fuck out of and were a form of expression as equally as important as any other form of art at that time and as such they must have moved us emotionally as much as they do today.

I don't think there are any of us that cannot refrain from moving some part of the body when a certain cadence of sound hits us and although Dance music (an unfair umbrella term regarding something this big -subject wise) appears simplistic to many, it does tap into something very primordial and instinctive.

The actual content of what is 'dance' music can of course be objective but I would struggle to find one human being who wouldn't move to some beat or another.
