Electronic music thread

Spiral Tribe
Astral Projection
Infected Mushroom

Thats what I'm listening to at the moment but there are way too many good artists to name.

 

Man, i love the deep synthy dark dnb, and the Jungle parties around here are sweet...especially the outdoors during the summer..I love dnb, jungle, breaks and speed garage...however I got sucked in to the scene through fluffy trance lol..So many people dont give it a chance...electronica is "techno"....therefore everybody thinks they hate the repetative stuff. I wish there was another way to get it out there...but the underground thing is refreshing.

 

As mentioned, Aphex Twin is a legend! All albums are grand

Don't own anything quite as harsh as James, I'm more for the calmer side I guess. Air and Mum being two acts I'm fond of. Orbital too definitely, saw them for the first time (and the last) at Glastonbury back in June and the fitting word was mesmerizing!

Portishead are amazing and they'd be band I'd try to squeeze in here! More of that sort include The Beta Band and Super Furry Animals. Ah and Radiohead of course, "Kid A" is a fantastic electronic album.

Has anyone heard about a guy who has remixed the entire Kid A album? Haven't tried looking myself, but, should anyone know.

Shoud always be a mention for Brian Eno too :H

 

I got this soundtrack to a documentary called Music from Thinking XXX it has tracks from Felix da Housecat featuring Princess Superstar, Tiga and Peaches the documentary is about pornstars so the music is all pretty dirty but its all great.

 

I hated Drum and Bass when I first heard it. I wouldn't even drive in my friends car because that was all he listened to. Then after going to a few raves, I began to understand where DnB was coming from. It seems like all the really good stuff was from the UK and Europe where it is much more mainstream. When you enter the DnB room at a rave you can feel the mood change, it's like a jungle! You don't see anymore candy kids with binkys and bead necklaces, laying on the floor in huge E-puddles. No more PLUR with it's massages and light shows. The drugs change too, no more X, you only have Cronic and acid. The music gets deeper and deeper and you start to understand it. I miss the old raves in downtown L.A. right off the 101 at Alemeda. Back in 2000, 2001, When they would go all night and never get shut down, in an abandoned warehouse. Frostys and Animania, and the bigger massives at the L.A. colloseum AND the Sports Arena like Together as One, the'll never pull that off again!!

 

Spacer, do you listen to any psy-trance at all? Neutronyx do great gigs in Dublin in the Temple Bar Music Centre. The next gig there doing is on the 21st of this month except they're merging with Teknowarfare. It should be brilliant. Here's a pic. They sell the tickets in the place where the sell mushies..Cannabiz, well its calles the Head Shop now but thats another storey.
