Electronic music anyone?

I love electronic!!

Spent quite a few hours just exploring the humongous genre. I love some of the dance stuff and even some of the ambient and non-dance stuff.

More "dance"y artists would probably include:
Daft Punk/Anything by Thomas Bangalter or Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christeo
Eric Prydz/Pryda/Cirez D
Deadmau5
Martin Solveig
Avicii
Justice
Mord Fustang

I'm also really getting into disco house, and there's some really interesting indie artists out there like Louis La Roche or Darius which definitely deserve to be checked out, as well as bigger acts like Duck Sauce.

 

I've been strictly listening to electronic music since I was about 12 years old so I have a pretty refined ear for it. I mostly listen to trance and drum & bass.

 

I'm really into drum & bass/liquid funk/whatever-you-call-it right now, and my favorite artist in that genre is Bachelors of Science ("Song for Lovers", "The Rush", "The Ice Dance"). I also quite like Pendulum.

Chicane is quickly becoming a favorite; I especially like the track "So Far Out to Sea".

I used to be really into chiptunes, with my favorite artists being Anamanaguchi and Trash80. I still do listen to chiptunes on occasion, though, but not nearly as much.

I also listen to a fair amount of music from more popular electronic artists, like M83 and Air. Other popular artists I like include Röyksopp and Ratatat. I occasionally listen to some Pretty Lights.

 

I like Daft Punk and a little bit of Dubstep. That's about it.

 

I love some electronic genres, but not others. Love Happy Hardcore/UK Hardcore, Hands Up, EuroDance, Vocal Trance, and some Club Dubstep. Hate House, Ambient, Drum and Bass, Tribal, Synthpop, and most others tbh.

 

I like listening to soundtracks. Video game soundtracks and webcomic soundtracks (mainly Homestuck songs).

 

Sort of, but more like:

This or this and also this.

 

First saw the expression "EDM" a few months ago and then a recent documentary on the history of dance music on Channel 4 picked up on that - the basic jist being that America made it, ignored it, the Brits made it great (it's UK TV don't you know we made everything great ), and finally well over two decades later American's have picked it up thanks Rihanna and Calvin Harris (!)


Was a big fan of mainstream UK Garage when it was big back in the late 1990s for a few months, when I couldn't even sell the CDs for 50p a year later I knew that fad had passed! Then went through a phase of loving house music (especially the more vocal stuff) but now I tend to be a bit of an Indie Disco guy if I'm honest!

On the EDM side it's probably more along the lines of (Although quite how many of these fit in the genré properly I don't know!)

Loreen - Euphoria
Milk & Sugar vs Vaya Cib Dios - Night Owls
Danny (Saucedo) - If Only You
Sound of Arrows - Nova (Tiësto Remix)
Example - Stay Awake
Nicky Minaj - Starships (I keep wanting to say this is awful but it gets me every bleeding time)
Adam Lambert – Never Close Our Eyes
Fun. - We Are Young
Rihanna - We Found Love
Calvin Harris & Example - We'll Be Coming Back

Oh, and random fact - I got into this music listening to a programme on "100.4 Jazz FM - Smooth Jazz and Classic Soul" - not the first place you'd think of looking for dance music!

 

I used to be into electronic music a lot. Justice, Digitalism, Hot Chip, Metronomy, Ladytron, Junior Boys, Little Boots, La Roux

Still listen to some of it these days. Mostly to Metronomy and Junior Boys, they're great. And dubstep, it's pretty good stuff to space out on. Flux Pavillion, Nero, Chase & Status and (yes I'm going to say it) Skrillex.

 

Dubstep (Skrillex, Deadmau5) and dance (Jeffree Star, BOTDF) are what I think of when someone says electronic music. I mainly listen to heavier stuff like punk rock, screamo, and rapcore though so now I shall awkwardly bow out of this conversation....
