And i guess even Pendulum and newer Prodigy is considered so?
Or is it drum&bass? Enlighten me, i wouldn't know...

Anyway, little that i know is that songs like the ones i posted up sound fucking PHENOMENAL to me in both production and music.

And if anyone has some more stuff i should/would like, pllleeaaase post em :)

JB!

Mau5's stuff sounds good but is really simple. His newer stuff, I think, sucks. I like some old Prodigy. I can't really think of anyone right now. It's been so long. Yeah, this music is 99% the mix. (Mau5 said it himself a few years ago in the trance addict forums where he used to post a lot before he got big) The other 1% is layering.
 
I'm in ! A DJ friend has good taste in electro music and showed me good progressive electro music. Since, I dig it a lot even if I wouldn't discover many things myself.

I would say deadmau5 is more about 50% the good idea, 30% the good sounds (hard to find really interesting sounds), 10% layering, 10% mix. Mixing electro music how he does is really easy. It's all about findin the good patterns, creating the atmosphere and it's not so hard if you have the basis of the beat already powerful. Lots of layers, automation, good samples to create nice transition, pumping compressor on the whole mix sidechained triggered by the kick (which makes the WOooshh... KICK shhhHHHOOWOOOOooshhh... kICK" you hear on 99% of electro songs.

I have a few incredible tracks to share when I have time

Im not a specialist but pendulum is drum n bass, and prodigy is more diversed, it's definitely electro but from the groovy/grungy side than pure "electro"

progressive is my favourite electro genre. It's all about quite long tracks that evolve a lot in the ambience. It's often sounding "optimistic", "happy", it's often like the soundtrack of what is good in life. It's quite interesting and my friend showed me many tracks I consider as good as many of my old metal classic songs.
 
I'm really interested in learning more about electronic music. I know so little about it that I never really seek any out because I don't know where to begin.

My favorite part about it is that to me it sounds really pure. It's just music. With any kind of music with regular instruments like guitars and real drums and stuff, I'm always imagining the mechanics of the various performances, no matter how hard I try not to. With electronic music it's just sound to me, and I love that. It's like listening to music as a non-musician, because I'm not able to analyze the "performances" quite as well.

Same here alas :(

And i never thought about it that way, but maybe thats indeed why it appeals so much :)
 
I've been into some of the Bloody Beetroots stuff recently. I cant get enough of this song, even though i cant stand the hipsters that listen to this stuff.



This version is pretty much the same song but more.. metal?:

Pendulum and Noisia are some of the leader of the today drum'n'Bass. They really have something unique. For me they are a bit like the "In Flames and Dark Tranquillity" of drum'n'bass. Prodigy is more UK garage, more grungy.
Deadmau is electro/prog, not D'n'B.

I like jazzy electro. Like this:



And soundtrack of the game Shatter is one of the best electro albums I ever heard:
