Noel Gallagher claims that Oasis' rise to prominence in the 1990's helped spell the death of commercial dance music. Speaking with Q magazine, the High Flying Birds rocker says he was out raving at Coachella when he realized the impact Oasis had on pop music in that era.
"One of the best nights I've had out recently was at Coachella," he tells Q. "We were up till seven o'clock in the morning, listening to those classic house tunes, going, 'Why did music have to change? Why couldn't it have stayed like this?' Then someone said, It's because of you! And I was, 'Yeah, sorry about that'."
He went on to explain that his track, "AKA . . . What A Life," is one of the most dance-friendly tracks of his career:
"It's taken me 20 years to write a song which could've actually been played in the Haçienda!"
