From the foundation movements of house, 2004 has grown and added to the fabric of the dance. It’s birth was given life through the updated sounds of many dj’s and producers of house and tech house music. Many musicians pushed the rhythmic envelope, adding slightly muted sounds, complex syncopation, electronic flare, and jazz inspired melodic license, to create layered house sounds classified as tech, clickno, broken beat, etc.
2004 as rendered by Tone McGregor, focused on speaking to these updated rhythms by reevaluating the foundation movements and fitting them to the current sounds. The Jack movements and innuendo meshed well with the isolations and angular vertexes of Tone. Often confused with “popping”, the dance grants the practitioner the ability to use their entire body to speak to the subtle variations in the music and keeps the dance alive by changing it from song to song while maintaining the integrity of the original styles.
From this context Tone has also created and performed Paranoid, a sub-style that plays on fear and where it takes you using 2004 as a backdrop.
