How to Dance Dirty

The website Gotta Dance Dirty is a useful multi-purpose music blog that keeps people up to date on the electronic music scene. It was started by a man named Jonah( without a last name), and is maintained and edited by him and ten other editors. It’s impossible telling how old this blog is or when it was started because of how many older posts there are. It could take hours of hitting the older posts button before reaching the start of it all.

The layout of everything is quite nice, since it’s a blog everything is in chronological order, meaning the newer posts are the first things that you see. It has a black studded leather background that elicits the electro feel. Finding information and music is actually really simple, by simply scrolling the page down the information seems to just magically appear.

The accuracy of the content on the site is definitely high up there. It isn’t hard to tell that the editors love music and have made it a part of their lives. Also, compared to other music blogs Gotta Dance Dirty has the most recent songs and interviews. Any professional or even amateur DJ would appreciate what this site does for electronic music. On the basis of credibility this site is very credible, but slightly biased. For a music blog such as Gotta Dance Dirty this is a good thing. They have a bias toward good music and artists. In other words, they only put good music on their site and only interview good, upcoming artists(I’m sure they would interview the bigger artists, but Rolling Stone has seniority over Gotta Dance Dirty. (haha)).

The most impressive part of Gotta Dance Dirty is the content. As far as what somebody could learn from the site, they could learn about a certain motives of artists, and how they feel about their music. The most recent interview of duo Booka Shade regarded their tour that they are about to embark on across North America. The interviewer seemed intelligent as well as kind, and asked many good questions. Other than the interviews are the mp3s and DJ mixes that are posted up. They are always high quality recordings, and the blog has it setup so you can download these songs almost directly off of the site. This makes it a useful utility for DJs to find and download music. The purpose of this site is too expand and represent electronic music for all the people in the world, and they are doing a swell job doing so. Gotta Dance Dirty is the epitome of a music blog, and will continue to do good work.
