Electronic music suggestions

[Thor]

Some more favorites, William Orbit who worked on Madonna's Ray of Light album, this one always gives me goosebumps.



The absolute best song on Ray of Light, Orbit outdid himself on his collaboration with Madonna.



I'll end this post with the one track every club should use to close down the club!

Some more favorites albeit last 5-10 yrs.

Sasha's Airdrawndagger whole album is amazing, this track especially:



The tune from this is so close to perfect, goosebumps everytime I hear it, the Paul Van Dyk remix is my favorite of Thrillseekers Synaethesia



Gouryella (the team of Armin van Buren and Ferry Corsten) - The best of their work together has always been Tenshi.



Damn seems 10+ years I'm posting more of here, anyhow another absolute favorite, Veracocha - Carte Blanche



Ok last one since I'm doing more of a best of my favorite years of trance lol

L'Esperanza - Airscape

[Phaneufenstein]

Used to listen a lot of trance and house and still do but lately enjoying dubstep.
Check out Bassnectar and as mentioned Nero.

For good trance compilations check out In Search of Sunrise series particularly the later ones

Yah that song is a classic, my favorite trance album has got to be oceanlab's album that came out I think 2 years ago called Sirens of the Sea, and my favorite song off that album was the Marton Roth vocal remix of Miracle.



As well I totally forgot Roger Shah with his balearic trance, of which my favorite set is his Asot 350 set.



Then more of a progressive trance feel



I could go on forever in a thread like this with almost any genre in electronic music, I have way to much of it

French House meets Dubstep:

[Flames Draft Watcher]

Closer to the Massive Attack/Portishead edge of things I highly recommend people check out U.N.K.L.E and Sneaker Pimps.

I love Deadmau5. Some DJ's I've seen live that were good include:
Deadmau5
Adam K
Calvin Harris
Morgan Page
AC Slater
Menno de Jong
Marcus Schossow

Heard Gareth Emery, Bassnectar and Marcus Shulz were good but I missed those in the last few months.

[Mazrim]

Alright, some more suggestions. Listen to Hybrid! They do progressive breaks, which some will sometimes say intermingles with drum'n'bass, but they have a very distinctive style you can't miss. Generally what makes them stand out is their percussion, and their liberal use of orchestras.

Their most famous song, Finished Symphony:


My favorite song of theirs, Just for Today:


A song from their newest album, Disappear Here. This one is called Break My Soul:


Some other notables from their new album include Can You Hear Me, Original Sin, and Disappear Here (the title track of the album).

Enjoy

Holy crap am I going to download so much music tonight.

Here's the track that first got me into electronic music. I can still remember seeing this video played on Much Music when I was about sixteen or seventeen. Definitely a life-changing moment.

May I suggest Collide - Crushed/Wings of steel... Sneaker Pimps is a good band, 6 underground is a sick song, recommended.

[Nandric]

Thought Id do a shameless plug of my favorite label, Rising music which puts out a huge amount of electro house, house music.

-With producers like Chris lake, Marco lys, Nelski, sour grapes, Sebatien Leger, Tom Neville, Radio Slave, etc.

-Some Marco Lys


-Sour Grapes


-A couple Chris Lake and Lys collaborations




-Nelski

found this usefull when I was informed Sidney Sampson was a form of Dutch House music. I'm a noob when it comes to this stuff

So far I've only downloaded the Bloody Beetroots because it was suggested in this thread and by a friend of mine.

It was definitely the style of music I'm looking for.

I've listened to a fair amount of the youtube links in this thread. I tend to like stuff that has less singing.

[Nandric]

listening to the Bloody Beetroots I might suggest trying to find Adam Freelands 2008 essential mix. Great mix of electronica and breaks and might be closer to what you are looking for than what I have been posting.

While I definitely like that style of music please continue to post. I know what I like once I hear it but I'm trying to get a nice wide range of styles. Can't tell if I like it or not if I don't get a chance to listen.

Plus even if I don't like it, it would be nice to gain a better understanding of the difference between the seemingly endless genres of electronica.

[robocop]

my buddy found this song by a guy/artist/group named voodof or voohdof or something like that, it was a really mellow beat and I want to find this artist but I just can't find the right name because I know the spelling is off. Anyone help me out here?

[woob]

Thanks to everyone and their suggestions! I'm a big electronic music fan and always love listening to new artists. Some great new and old school stuff in here!

On Genre

House - Jazz, Funk, Hip-Hop samples used and usually a trip-up / swing beat (boom shh ka sh kaboom shh ka shh boom...)


Trance - Very strait forward 4/4 beat structure (boom shh kaa shh boom shh kaa shh..) Very effects based melodies.


Techo - I find Techno to be the "everything-else" category. Still 4/4, but the emphasis in my opinion is based more on what cool sounds you can use to fill up the beat. Very few techno tracks have a "melody" and their loops tend to last a little longer. Certainly not for everyone.




Dubstep - I think this is technically a 2/4 beat where the drums are half the tempo of everything else. There's also the "dubstep-wobble" that is used in the bass which sounds like a "WOW"



Hope this helps. More to come if needed.

Check out Steve Aoki's mix album - Pillowface and his Airplane Chronicals

FANTASTIC MIX!!!

[Julio]

The whole Evolver album by The Grid was beauty.

Also, always like this as a primer for people just getting into Electronic music...
