The Electronica Thread

Post by **adrianfromthecastle** » Mon Sep 15, 2008 8:54 am

I'm curious if anyone else here listens to electronica...

Heres a couple bands I've been really into lately

Digitalismhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bQTVN2aAUw

Datarockhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6xoFhkthls

I actually saw Datarock and Ladytron in Hollywood a few months back... Datarock opened for Ladytron.. and to be honest, I think Datarock outplayed Ladytron (I enjoyed them more, lol)..

I'm still a newb at electronica, and I'm always down to hear new stuff...

post up if you have any suggestions for the next time I go to the record store

An artist you have to have a great sound system to enjoy.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8WV3VtkVjk

Electronica is such a huge genre that a lot of people tend to classify stuff that doesn't really fit anywhere else. Are you looking for dance/clubby stuff, ambient stuff, trance? I think for each person out there, therei is a definition of electronica.

In any case...some of my favourites:Timo Maas, Junkie XL, Underworld, Chicane, LCD Soundsystem, Silicone Soul, Groove Armada, Paul Van Dyk, Deep Dish, Tim Delux, Grid, Chemical Brothers...

...wow that list got big in a hurry. If you want a good sampling of this log on to Pandora.com and search for a station I created called "Frequency" and let me know what you think.

I have been digging what justice has been doing since I found out bout them.

I just listen to FrenchKissFM.com a lot nowadays. I haven't pirated music in a couple months now, I feel like an upstanding citizen.

I used to talk to these guys via email back a long time ago, 99ish. They have since gained quite a bit of popularity, but will always be one of my favorites. Their music and conversations were a huge part of getting me into mixing music.

Always best when Adrian

electronica is the largest most inclusive word for electronic music.

Electronic music uses electronic sounds.

Electronic vs. electric

Electric instrument is one that produces a mechanical sound that is then amplified.

Electronic instruments produce sounds by use of electronics (resistors, transisters, capacitors, conductors and semiconductors...etc.)

Within electronica is many genres of music.

House Techno Trance Seem to be the main genres however subgenres continue for quite some time.

House----main genre

Electro house---subFunk house---subDisco House--subGospel House---subDeep house---subTechhouse---subDetroit house---subMinimal---sub

Electronica is almost all inclusive of every type outside of acoustic.

I have been listening to electronic music heavily after Fat of the land by Prodigy came out. What got you into it?

Post by **breadbox** » Wed Jan 21, 2009 5:45 am

I think I want to start mixing again this year. If I get some digitables I'll start making mixes for ya'll. I really am trying to get out of vinyl as much as I prefer it.

I just went through your links listening. I think digitalism was my fave but I have been out of Dand B for a while but I still love Jungle Drummer( He's sick)

Jungle drummer example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N93-r8m7rYo

Yeah I remember them, but I remember not really getting into them at all. I think I was more about The Crystal Method.

Silviastein, I see you're into drum & bass. That's what's up.

I'm really into jungle (and it's sub-genres) myself.

For those of you interested in EDM and it's origin's and progression and different classifications, I recommend Ishkur's Guide to EDM

http://techno.org/electronic-music-guide/

He really lays it all out and shows the origins of all the different genres/sub-genres.

lemme lay some out for ya...

Jungle: Shy FX & UK Apache - Original Nuttahhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiMnP39O6Og&fmt=18

Dubstep: Cotti & Cluekid - Sensi Dubhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxUPjR2tPCs&fmt=18

Liquid: DJ Roots & DJ Vento - All Clearhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PaN8CBiPJvs&fmt=18

Jump Up: Goldie - Monkey Boy (Original Sin Remix)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ns5UYuP2jFw&fmt=18

Trancestep: Ill Skillz - Forgive Myself (D Kay Remix)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cY3Ohh6noV0&fmt=18

Darkstep: Limewax - Cracking Corehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dXdhifwENY&fmt=18

Jungle is, by far, the most diverse genre of music I have yet to come across. No matter what kinda rock or metal you listen to, there's always more similarities across the board than there are differences. Whether it's actual song composition, sound style, tone, vocals....the only way to really separate metal and rock styles is by the decade it was made in.

And to the nay-sayers who always come up with the excuse "it all sounds the same/it's too repetitive", have they ever listened to a ZZ Top album? 3 chords maximum. Metallica uses....about 3 or 4 total. Deep Purple? Don't make me laugh. And using less 4 or less chords is not really the problem, but it's always the same handful of chords just rearranged 100 different ways to make different songs.

So what's wrong with taking the same samples and rearranging them 100 different ways to make different songs? Except these samples can be pitch shifted and bent and sped up and slowed down and manipulated in an infinite amount of ways.

Rock died when the "new wave punk" thing hit the scene. Long Live Jungle.

It surprises me how much D&B there is in the world, but I haven't met anyone who was "into" drum and bass.

I like this song cuz it has been my ringer since I saw AliG InDaHouse.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYSZwwMeKOo

I used to goto "Brain" in Braunschweig, Germany and they had some great djs come through there, but I got into House music.

I am not crazy about D&B beats sometimes but the basslines rock.

The only cd I bought was a Capone cd.

I've got friends and family in the D&B scene. My cousin and I have started a production company, and we work in conjunction with another local crew (The 717 Crew) and I have ties to another crew outta North Carolina called Massive Monkey Movement. To say I'm "into" d&b is putting it mildly. I eat, sleep and breathe amens and dynamic basslines.

Though, I am currently gearless so I can not DJ. I'm way outta practice. So I lend my skills as an audio engineer and general help.

Partying for free is the way to be

I love mixing but haven't done it in like a year, except making things for me to listen to in the car.. This is my year though.

Post by **liquid_cool** » Sat Feb 21, 2009 7:24 pm

jungle drummer-vs- dj fu was amazing man..spent hours fumbling throu the u-tube vids...

more of what im thinkin is electronica is like the artist "SHE" you can find her on myspace and she takes sounds that she records from people..everyday stuff..then mixes it in..great sound..try it..you might like it.

I really link trance because it's not as "cartoonish" (for lack of a better word) as other styles of dance music, i.e. whistles, chipmunks, stuff like that. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
