EDM (Electronic Dance Music)

[couch-potato]

Who is a fan of EDM? Music of the future, I say!

Most people just call this stuff "Techno", and instantly have a stigma against it. Don't knock it till' you've heard a few tracks at least! You'll probably like it :thumbsup:.

A few starter tracks for those interested:

"Feel the Universe" by Juno Reactor (Somewhat psychedelic)

"Shivers" by Armin van Buuren (World's #1 DJ, what's not to like?)

"Star Guitar" by The Chemical Brothers (Just sounds downright magical)

"Silence" by Delerium (House music, guaranteed to be heard in dance clubs across the globe.)

"Beautiful" by Ferry Corsten (This song is, as the name implies, BEAUTIFUL)

"Ready Steady Go" by Paul Oakenfold (Great song for driving on the highway at ridiculously fast speeds)

"Carpe Noctum" by Tiësto (Makes me want to party! :jointsmile

You could be a hardcore raver (PLUR, hahaha), or just another bloke who enjoys a groovy beat to love this stuff. SO WHO HERE LOVES ELECTRONIC MUSIC?

I love it.
I used to enjoy mostly psychedelic rock music, like the Grateful Dead and Iron Butterfly (I am an old school Hippie).:thumbsup:
I still LOVE psychedelic rock, but now I mostly listen to Trance, Hard House, Lounge, and Chillout EDM.
I find there's more originality and creative talent involved than there is in new rock music.

I like Tiesto, Paul Oakenfold, and The Chemical Brothers, but they others I've never heard of. You might want to check out EBM, Electronic Body Music, and Front 242, who is the first band to use that term. Their music is old, might not be easy to find, but it's worth listening to.

Juno Reactor is the only one on that list that I enjoy. Really love their stuff.

These days I'm more into the experimental Drum n Bass (Squarepusher, Venetian Snares, Aphex) and IDM (Autechre, Boards of Canada, Amon Tobin, Chris Clark etc..) but I still love me some ol' Big Beat electronica. The Chemical Brothers are awesome got a bunch of thier older stuff, as well as Fatboy Slim and The Crystal Method, Prodigy, Daft Punk, Meat Beat Manifesto, Overseer, Oribtal, Juno Reactor etc..

Any of you guys ever listen to Layo & Bushwacka? I got thier album "Nightworks" after hearing a song somewhere, I don't think it's too well known but well worth looking into if you can find it, kinda a jazzy/classic drum and bass/trip-hop sound it's very cool and the whole records got a pretty chill groove, but moves enough to keep you moving.

I'm also into a lot of the instrumental more hip-hop inspired type stuff these days like Prefuse 73, RJD2, Daedalus, DJ Shadow

I absolutely love them... they're what got me into electronic music. They just might be my favorite group :thumbsup:.

Their album Beyond the Infinite... I can't even describe what that album did for me. But it was good. Wayyyyyyyyyyy good.
