Calling Anyone Who Listens to Electronic Dance Music

Zharen · 10-30-2004, 08:19 PM

What's your favorite genre and/or favorite artists? I know this is a more underground type of music that many of you probably dismiss or hate, but I'm sure there must be a few people who enjoy it. Even if you've only listened to the commercialized, "cheesy" trance albums that are commonly found in Best Buy or Wherehouse, if you like 'em, post 'em.

My favorite genres of EDM are:
House
Trance
Techno
Progressive Trance
Progressive House
Break beats
Progressive Breaks
Hard Dance
NRG
Hard Style
Jungle
Uplifting/Hard/Epic Trance
Ambient

Favorite Artists/DJ's Are
Leama and Moor
Michael Burns
Gabriel & Dresden
Above and Beyond
Hyper
Solid Globe
Probspot
Ozgur Can
D:Fuse
Luke Chable
Way Out West
MK-S
John O'Callighan
Markus Schulz
Armin van Buuren
Paul van Dyk
Solarstone
Grayarea
Junkie XL
Sasha (This guy's a f***in' trip)
Smith and Pledger
Vadim Zhukov
Nathan Fake
James Holden
Sultan
Steve Lawler

And there's more to that list, but those are all the ones I can think at the top of my head. Hopefully I'm not wasting my time with the creation of this topic.

I do enjoy this kind of thing occasionally, but I've never heard of like, any of the artists. I gotta check some of these people out. Thank you.

My favorite genres are House and it's numerous off-shoots (Disco, Eurobeat, etc.), but I also like Rave, Happy Hardcore, Speedcore, Epic Trance, and the occasional Breakbeat.

As for artists, some favorites are ATB, Ultrabeat, Niko, Andy Hunter, Naoki Maeda, DJ Speedo, DJ Taka, Dave Rodgers, X-Treme, Sota Fujamori, Mega NRG Man, Scooter, Darude, and DJ Sammy.

Chemical Brothers. Ahh the joys of listening to Acid House. Never did care much for their type of sound, but I did enjoy their track called...Enjoyed. *shrug*

And Paul Van Dyke was here in San Francisco last Friday. I was going to check him out but I was broke. But I'm currently saving up more to go to a few more raves this month and then check out both Tiesto and Ferry Corsten in SF in late December. New Year's Eve is gonna rock.

While I do especially take to aggressive breakbeat techno a la the Prodigy or Praga Khan, I'm into a good handful of genres, I suppose. I'm quite particular to GOA and Psy Trance, some names to list are older Juno Reactor and Infected Mushroom. My general bread and butter is a cocktail combination of electronic, rock, and metal, aka anywhere from MSI to NIN to KMFDM and Pig. A nice pit stop halfway from one end to the other is the self-titled Gravity Kills album. I like me some noize in the vein of a friend's friend who goes by the name of Entron. I used to be up on local DJs who were pioneering Funky Breaks a few years back. I take what I can listen to, cares about definitions come after beats (if you follow). I can't forget D&B, either. Techstep I like as a genre, while specific artists are a little harder to come by. I'll say Diesel Boy, although he's not of that particular minute classification. Hardcore is all well and good, and so is Rave, but I'm not nearly as familiar with them. My best experience with Hardcore is a local dj to Cle, goes by the name of Kid Napalm. One thing that I hate are the diva vox people keep tossing all over the place lately. I'm not into that R&B ****e. Oh, and to mention someone who simply defies classification.. OhGr

.. and as I continue rambling on the subject, Intelligent is a pretty sweet genre. Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, and Autechre are favorites...

I can't think of anymore ****e, so I'll say that's about it.
