The Electronic Music Thread

[PostmanPot]

The last good album I bought was Booka Shade's Movements.

Nice album that, kept it in the car

I tend to listen to more doef-doef stuff when I'm out.

"Oh this is an excellent electro tune. It's perfect as it is. So lets paste some arb vocals over it to make it more commercial!!!!"

Lol

Copy paste from another profile of mine that is seriously in need of an update...

Nice Artists

I smaak Amon Tobin (he actually made me go deeper into Electronic after stuff like Prefuse 73 got me there), Aphex, K&D, LTJ, Massive Attack & Unkle - all been quite influencial on me.

Glitch anyone?

Autechre?

I went through a patch of listening to that faster IDM. Venetian Snares is also pretty sick.

Favourite track ever:

St Germain - Alabama Blues

Favourite discs - There's a couple

Daft Punk - Homework
Kojak - Crime in the City
Dmitri from Paris - A Night at the Playboy Mansion
Ralph Lawson - Visionaries
St Germain - Boulevard
Necessary Pieces 1 & 2
Mateo & Matos - New York Rhythm

tons more in fact

Sounds like some interesting artists. Only recognise St. Germain (and Daft Punk), used to listen to him a lot. Are the others all also loungey-type stuff?

I've recently been listening to Wisp, an IDM artist. His stuff is quite chilled, dreamy, hypnotic and somewhat theraputic. You can download some of his albums here for free, they are really good! I would probably recommend the "Selected Ambient Works 2: Reworked" album for anyone interested in checking out what kind of stuff Wisp makes.

ta for the link.

You've just improved my music taste

PS - no sarcasm is intended !

I have been producing electronic music for 7 years now in my spare time - had some successful releases on Derek The Bandits World of Dance albums and the Hardy Boyz albums. Here is a link to some of my older music: http://www.soundclick.com/bands/defa...?bandID=383849

Needs an update - feedback welcome!

Thnx Pot. Will DL 2morrow... can't wait. Never heard it before.

[zeridine]

wow. didnt know you guys like this type of stuff.

dont really like wisp that much, but it seems like nrthndr was his best album to date (counting free albums as well). honor beats and building dragons wasnt that good imo.

other artists, for the uninitiated, definately worth checking out include: (go looky at at http://www.bleep.com)
autechre - look out for new LP quaristice, out soon
aphex twin/afx (cant make a list without him)
amon tobin - as recommended before.
chris clark/clark - new LP out very soon. 'body riddle' was flipping excellent.
boards of canada - funky dreamy ethereal stuff. get 'geogaddi', 'music has the right to children' 'twoism' 'hi scores' and 'trans canada highway' now!
boom bip - 'sacchrilege' is fantastic - coogi sweater anyone?
astrobotnia
mu-ziq - really liked 'duntisbourne abbots soulmate devastation technique'
bola - for more ambient music
datach'i - really aggressive glitchy stuff. almost like a repetative version of autechre with a more steady beat. check 'black trees' and 'mmale and ffemale'
flying lotus - for those who like the jazzy stuff. new artist with a lot of promise.
gescom - autechre with a steadier beat. really bad description but thats all i got.
harmonic33 - for groovy old tunes.
phoenecia - have a look at 'brown out' at least.
richard devine - cant really describe his stuff atm other than glitch. really good. look at 'cautella' 'a:sect d:sect'
the kilimanjaro darkjazz ensemble - the name says it all. really good.
venetian snares - best is 'rossz csillag alatt szuletett' and 'my downfall'

others that kinda grabbed my interest last year was trentemoller, von sudenfed and burial.

anything you guys could recommend? i'm hungry for new music. been listening to mostly alt/rock lately.
