YT is how I discovered techno contradance is a thing.

Still have yet to have had it turn up decent electro bluegrass, but it did find some album-oriented bluegrass: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zLMsvaRWhY




Well, if I try to imagine electric bluegrass, I get rockabilly.

My favorite cover of DSotM is the meh-titled ‘Jazz Side of the Moon’ by Yahel, Moreno, Hoenig and Blake. More specifically, it's the only worthy cover so far imo (though the bluegrass one is a quite strong contender, yeah). Surprisingly ‘JSotM’ isn't on YT in entirety—which is the greatly preferred mode of listening to it—but some snatches can be had at https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Yahel%2C+Moreno...

P.S. As for techno contra dance: I like my techno on the harder side, so expected something in the vein of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ep_35FTnYVA or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48laJC8wYl4. After seeing some fine synchronized pair dancing, of the jumpstyle-shuffle sort, it's quite conceivable for me.


Electro bluegrass to me wouldn't be rockabilly[1], but the high lonesome equivalent of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gApq7K78pbo complete with glitched hemiolas.

I'm trying to refind some of the better audio/video mashups I've seen, but fighting The Algorithm atm.

- BLM cupid shuffle video / audio: boot scoot boogie

- Footloose line dance video / audio: boom boom boom

- vertically spinning race car crash video / audio: lezginka

At least there's still jumpstyle hopak: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqEtq34dSUo

and (not even externally mashed up) bolly[wood] ciao: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2wahu8bDMo

[1] even "electric bluegrass" I'd put closer to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mg1AD0GBii4
