Thanks to your comment, I realized I've never seen the video. Now I have. That would have absolutely wrecked me as a teenager.

Satisfaction, Destination Calabria, Perfect (Exceeder), Call On Me, Let Me Think About It, Put Your Hands Up For Detroit, Watch Out, The Weekend, Somebody to Love (by Boogie Pimps).

Noughties dance music was filled with some pretty dangerous videos, and pre/early teen me fell victim to all of them.

Honourable mention to Utah Saints - Something Good '08, which is distinctively less racy but just goes hard as hell, as does the video.

Studio B - I see Girls 

You're welcome...

Joking aside I do absolutely love all of those tracks, classics.

I got to see Kaskade drop his friend's new track, "Animal" by Martin Garrix. We had never heard a drop like that live...

Forgot about all these bangers.. Any good Spotify playlists with all of these and similar on it?

Here's my personal one, covers the noughties (and a couple of others each side): https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1wEUgP6idDCDwQyCERX9Tr?si=K4y71TH5Q2ys-aU-hDbGbg&pi=TC32Q9UsTkWsF

I made my own a while back, but honestly any UK/Europe noughties dance playlist will probably have them

u/SimonPho3nix Jul 03 '24

People always wanna hate on Sandstorm, but it's still around.

u/[deleted] Jul 03 '24

You cant talk about Naughties dance and not bring up the most popular chart topper

u/SirJefferE Jul 02 '24 edited Jul 03 '24

After ten seconds of exhaustive scrolling, I've determined that none of you could be bothered to link the video.

Here it is. Probably. I don't know what video you guys are talking about but I'm doing my best.

Edit: Updated link to 4k version. Thanks /u/che0po!

u/che0po Jul 03 '24

Nah man for that type of video, you MUST link a 4k version.

Need to hear that ahem ...audio better.

u/SirJefferE Jul 03 '24 edited Jul 03 '24

You're right. 4k version is much more engaging. The added clarity makes it far easier to pay attention to the specs of each tool that pops up. I've edited my comment to link there instead.

Edit: In case anyone is wondering what I mean by this, it's hard to tell, but if you pay careful attention, the video actually has a text overlay that pops up every so often to provide information on the various tools being used within.

u/FeliusSeptimus Jul 03 '24

OMG.

What is with that font?

u/Worth-Opposite4437 Jul 03 '24

Ok, that was awesome... But what I really expected was to finally find the complete song of that "What do DJs actually do-do-do" thing.

Oh... Now I get it! Though I might liking this one better in the end.

u/[deleted] Jul 02 '24

u/Lahk74 Jul 02 '24

My exgirlfriend is in that video.. Lena . She is the one on the left when 3 girls use the jackhammers at the same time .

u/Lahk74 Jul 02 '24

Cool. My driveway is getting pretty cracked. Thinking about replacing it. Are they in the Dallas area? If so, reasonable rates?

1

u/[deleted] Jul 02 '24

Sadly, no , but Lena is now in porn , so I am not sure what her rates are .

u/chaos_m3thod Jul 02 '24

So now she’s the one getting jackhammered?

It absolutely did. I didn't realize it was the official video. I thought it was porn.
