"Nemesis" and "Boing, Boom, Tschack" weren't ever going to find a big audience down here.
Strange assertion seeing as how Nemesis was one of the most popular songs of that scene (The original mannequin challenge, right?). There's no sense debating quality of apples and oranges; my preferences mostly came from alt/industrial as opposed to the Miami latin hiphop sound like Johnnie O and Stevie B and Timmy T and any number of first names ending in "ee" with a letter of the alphabet following. Just saying it was inescapable in the meet market scene and just because I hated it doesn't mean everybody else should have.
BTW, Rigor Mortis was by Split Second, not Microchip League.

Holy shite was coming in here to correct that and you beat me to it. RM was the Manikin challenge song ISTR.
Some solid work being done in this thread.
Both rigor mortis and music non-stop were on heavy rotation at xanthus in BR as well as the extended version of George kranz din dah dah. Telex - peanuts was also very popular but I never cared for that at the time. Marcia baila by Les Rita mitsouko was a personal favorite. They always showed it on the video wall and it never failed to crack me up. The the, Marc almond, when in Rome and the communards also played every night. (You'll dance to anything)
and the entire club reeked of obsession perfume. I think the first place I ever heard 815 to nowhere was makos yacht club in catfish town and I hated the scene at that bar but like a good college student I ended up there at least once a week.
MCL, airplane Crashers, bingo boys, dirty harry and meat beat manifesto seemed more like the Houston sound.
Eta 80s footnote "Hair", the female bouncer at xanthus tried to make out with me during the skinny puppy concert at neimans while ogre was spitting fake blood all over the crowd.
No bullshite. Poster mung on here can back up my story.

Me too. Only in Louisiana would you hear Rigor Mortis followed up by "dew dew dew dooo, Egypt Egypt". that was a mood killer for me. The closest I could get to that was Chicago's acid house mix of electronic dance and hip hop. There was some real groovy, trippy stuff from Trax Records(not Wax Trax from chicago which was industrial).

Anything in particular?
Some of the Art Of Mix remix services, a few Razormaid remixes that I don't have.
I'm missing a copy of Smoke On The Water by King Kurlee, though I gave mine away about 20 years ago to a good friend who loved it.
I collect it all, from the Belgian New Beat to Synth Pop, to Hip House and Miami Bass. All of that stuff was a HUGE influence on me and the dance music I make. I really do like it all.
