Official Electronic Music Topic

[Xcommunicated]

Welcome to the 'Official Electronic Music Topic', this is the place to discuss Electronic Music with other fans. Discussion can vary to many genres of Electronic music like; italo disco, techno, house, trance, electro, breakbeat, jungle, drum and bass, Gabber and styles that are intended more as experimental styles or for home listening such as IDM, glitch, Breakcore, trip-hop and more.

Remember; no spam and chat nicely amongst each other.

I would suggest you get some Daft Punk which is more Funky House than Techno.

Daft Punk:

Harder, Better, Faster, stronger.
Aerodynamic
Daftendirekt
Human After All
Robot Rock

These are all generally good party tracks.

If you want some you can try some Vitalic. Vitalic, like Daft Punk is French and is more Electro-House but he's quite good.

Vitalic:

Dance Like a Machine
Le Rock
Repair Machines

Or you can try Infected Mushroom. They are a mix of of Psytrance and all sorts.

Infected Mushroom:

Streched
I'm the Supervisor
Frog Machine

Well, I hope you try them out and enjoy them even if your not into that music.

-Astral Projection
-Future Sound of London
-Propellerheads
-Shpongle

The bands in the first post are some of the worst examples of electronic music imo.
Decent idea to unite the electronic genres into one thread though, there aren't enough fans of the individual subgenres to sustain discussion for more than a few posts.

Skream fucking rules.

I need some more IDM style stuff.

I really love Burial, Untrue is a great record.

Some IDM recommendations:

Boards of Canada
Tycho
Proem
Kettel
Ochre
Freescha
Cylob
Saturday Index
Frequent C
Loafeye
Milieu
Wisp

Not really, Autechre are insanely overrated.

Daft Punk is kind of interesting. I thought the first 1/3 or so of Discovery was really fucking cool, and catchy in a way I'd never really heard before, but most of the album is pretty boring, and Homework seemed to me to be entirely boring. I think if they got it right they could come out with something truly memorable.

I'm still very new to electronica, but there's one group I discovered recently that doesn't seem much discussed, and which everyone should definitely hear: Holy Fuck. They're basically a jam band with two drummers and a lot of weird-ass '80s gadgets that give the music a kind of arcade game like tone. And they are fucking incredible. I've only heard the album LP in its entirety, but I really want to get the s/t. Truly unique and ass-kicking music.

I like them a fair bit but yeah. Plenty better electronic out there.

I just got into them, and I think they are amazing tbh

They just sound like a poor man's Cylob to me.

It just seems that anything associated with Warp Records gets this massive jizz parade in their honour, when half of if it is already being done far better by several other bands. I'm not saying Warp Records are bad, hell they released some fantastic stuff, but they and any associated bands have achieved this ridiculous untouchable status and it pisses me off.

I wouldn't really consider Holy Fuck electronica, it's just alternative rock/pop with bleeps. It's kinda like calling Idiot Pilot or Of Montreal electronica.

 

[zabu of nΩd]

Fair enough. They still fucking rule, though. If you could recommend any artists like them I'd very much be interested. I've never heard anything remotely like them before.

 

[tagradh]

Blackfilm
Datach'i
if:then:goto
Ulrich Schnauss
Jóhann Jóhannsson
Saturday Index
Akira Kosemura
Plosive


Gogogo guies.

 

[Killbot]

Were those recs for Vihris? They don't sound anything like Holy Fuck!

If not, carry on, a few super bands in there.

 

[tagradh]

They're just good bands/artists. <3

 

[Liisa]

Like the work of Vitalic and Daft Punk but can't really get into the minimalistic trance stuff.
This is my kind of electro.

 

[tagradh]
