Depends on what you mean by 90s music? Early/Late/Mainstream/Underground, if the latter, genre matters quite a bit I think.

...and since I'm feeling particularly pedantic this morning, I think post-modernism WAS the nineties. We're now post-post-modern. Maybe even post-post-post-modern.

Everything was already there in the 90s, synthesis wise, and choices were already v.a.s.t : Analog, FM, WT, Samplers, Additive, you name it.
So welcome in the even wider 2018 world : Just find the right sounds, and the right recipe for each given project. And build upon that, possibly adding your own mark on it.

Make sure it's 32 bit only and then recorded to DAT.
*In reality most tracks would be made with digital/analogue hardware, running through a project studio 24 channel desk. This is when home/project studios really came of age (and affordable) and it was possible to do serious work away from the rented studio, at the very least pre-production/writing before mixing.

In the early 90's I think of acts like The Prodigy with the crude but effective use of the breakbeat and sampling (that includes early Hardcore then Drum n Bass). But by the late 90's it matured into great songs like Insomnia by Faithless and Phat Planet by Leftfield to name a few.egbert101 wrote:I'm really interested in other people's interpretations of the 90s, so it's a general thing, hopefully to stimulate some interesting discussion and ideas.

You need to be genre specific, because the 90s was when dance music blew up and fragmented into many different genres and sub-genres. In the rave scene alone you had Detroit techno, Belgian techno, jungle, dark jungle, hardcore, happy hardcore, hard techno, gabber, acid, and more. Then you also had progressive house, disco house, Italian house, garage, UK garage, Euro trance, big beat, etc etc.

Yep! It's not really enough to just say "I'm interested in other people's interpretation of the 90s" because it will be varied by quite a bit for most people who were into underground music in the 90s. Even the dance music that made it into the mainstream was diverse in the 90s.
If ever Ishkur's guide was spot on, it's here. He gets criticism for not having updated this site, but it covers the nineties rather well.
