Dance Energy BBC2

[koolherc]

Who remembers Dance Energy on BBC2 in the early 90s, was only 14 at the time but I never missed it.Best performances had to be Prodigy: Everybody in the Place and SL2: Way in my Brain live in the studio.Anyone else remember?

Rings a very vague bell mate, is that the one where they were all in a house and would be dancing in all the different rooms.

If I'm right, that bell-end Normski was in it as well

P.S. Have many people spotted Normski on that Vinny Jones armwrestling Barcadi ad?

was mad i was about 18 at the time and remember fancying those dancers

[Mike]

Normski has been on some late night discussion thing on channel 4 recently (can't remember the name now) and yes, he's still a bell end !!!!

[pauly p]

Dance energy was ace.
Remember the theme tune "I think its time to make the floor burn"
Also, anyone remember Altern8`s performance with Inner city in those silly yellow pac-a-macs for let it reign. / Colaboy with Sarah Cracknell in the feather bower etc...
Yep "yo yo" normski was a knob.

What an excellent program it was, infact it used to be my staple diet.......Fresh Prince then Dance Energy. Also there was that odd "Raa=piiiii-dooooh" frog at the end.

I used to love the contest bit for new talent. Infact I still remember some of the demo's like GForce feat Billie....Komix and a strange group called "DJ FORCE AND THE EVOLUTION"!!! lol.

The videos were ace too, it was the only time Ive ever seen SmartE's "Loos Control" video. I remember the Sl2 'live' gig too, when it was "Whicka wick whicka whick Sl2" lol.

Back in the day, it was quite a cutting edge program really I reckon, and sure propelled my hunger for dance music.

I long for the day ITV see sense and repeat the HitMan and Her and 'BPM' too. lol.

I don't think I remember Dance Energy, but I remember the programme BBC2 ran a year or two before that. Behind The Beat it was called, well decent if I remember rightly. Theres a page here about BBC2 around this time. http://offthetelly.users.btopenworld...ual/defII2.htm

Anyone remember Night Network on ITV? I think that was 87 / 88'ish, Westwood still had some street cred then and used to do a Hip Hop section, guests like Troublefunk live in the studio. Top notch at times.

Thinking about it now, considering how few channels were around 10-15 years ago, it's pretty mad at how we seem to have fewer quality music programmes on the box now than we did back then.

Thats very true, there used to be sommert called Snub TV on Granada, where the Stone Roses did a live performance, I think Ive still got it on video somewhere. Tony Wilson produced a load of progs back then and they were always worth watching. Is there anything worth watching / videoing these days?? Bah humbug grumble

I remember Dance Energy too, what a tit Normski was, The only thing I remember about him was that he was shagging that minger Janet St Porter

Snub TV on Granada,

I remember this - and Night Network

speaking of Normski - I got a KMS compilation from about 88/89and there is a track by Juan Atkins on there which has Normski on vocals - suffice to say it was shit

[Ed]

Tony Wilson did an arty thing called 'THe Other side of midnight' as well and Im pretty sure I saw some of the top Manchester acts on there in about 1988-used to be on before Cell block H!!
