It may have been different in other places, but Toronto seemed to completely dump one for the later very quickly. The Dance music station went from playing house and other electronic music to Boy Bands and Teen Girl singers almost over night. Well, I guess it's not that bad because I didn't have to hear Venga Boys anymore.

Just because that radio station traded one thing for another does not mean those two things are enjoyed by the same audience. It just means the station decided to appeal to a younger audience than they had before, just like Much Music and many other companies around that time. I wouldn't blame any other music for killing electronic dance music in North America. It's just that after 1997, just like before 1997, there wasn't much electronic dance music that appealed to American tastes. People got tired of big beat, and Daft Punk went all stardust-discovery on them.

I have been lurking since Justice had to look out because there was Danger afoot. Thought I would contribute. Anyone ever heard of Shameboy? It helps me kick rear end and take names at whatever video game I play. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lb5i2Q4eH9Y http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTnLIQJ9mcw http://www.myspace.com/shameboy And even though it doesn't necessarily go with the rest of this genre... everyone loves them some breakfast: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-zfbDHipG8

You might like his Love Juice remix, which I think is a lot like his first EP. Also, Revolte at 22h10 is awesome and apparently a remix of a song called Weak Generation. Then there's the Divine remix I posted on the last page and a rework of Boyz Noize's song Oh! called Ne.Oh!.Pen (named after his graphic designer, Neopen), which is worth sitting through the intro of to get to the good stuff.

CHRISTS FOR SALE posted:Daft Punk are probably the single most influential group in electronic music, perhaps tied with Aphex Twin or Kraftwerk. Anyway, they're amazing but NOT the originators of house music in the least bit. They also were not responsible for bringing commercial house music to America, as it was actually INVENTED here (in Chicago to be exact), predominantly by gay black people. What they did originate was the performance of original House music with live instrumentation and sequencers. With this setup, Daft Punk moved past the boring world of DJing into some actual semblance of musicianship. Why have you not been thoroughly berated for this bullshit?

And now, some shameless self promotion! There's a remix contest going on by Uncovered Label based out of Ottawa (oh no threatis!) to remix Nima Saeedi's Yo Pass. Anyone is welcome to try, all the info and samples are available on facebook here The original track is here available for you to listen here: http://soundcloud.com/uncovered/nima-saeedi-yo-pass Unfortunately it's not based on votes so I can't get you guys to rig the contest for me, but here is the entry I whipped up for the contest. Nima Saeedi - Yo Pass (Zcientist Remix). I produce under Zcientist for the record! Hopefully someone likes it, and hopefully I win. The prize is getting on your track on beatport & the retail release so I am pretty stoked. Have a listen! edit: Oh and I remixed Fake Blood - Mars too, in a slightly eurodance fashion, which is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQ7yR0LHmJw and fun and not to be taken too seriously  and the reason christ's for sale hasn't been berated for his moderately dumb post is because that would put us back to square one, like the Man vs Child fucked around with this message at 14:46 on Dec 10, 2009 |

For you electro-house fans in New York, here's an event that can't be missed: http://www.terminal5nyc.com/event/3884 I'm seriously considering blowing a bunch of money to go up and see this. I dig Major Lazer's stuff ok, but Boys Noize and Proxy have been blowing my mind lately. 35 bucks doesn't seem tooo steep either. Also I'm glad this thread has actually completed a page without someone taking a huge pretentious poo poo on Deadmau5.

But they did it dressed like ROBOTS, you see. Its very hard to argue innovation in music. I'm sure everything we like in whatever genre was already done by some experimental electronic band in the 70s. Daft Punk brought together different influences, and have a ridiculously good sense of repetition without becoming boring (no matter what that loving troll from the last thread says). I really used to think Daft Punk were loving amazing geniuses, until I started digging deeper into house and all this other stuff. They're still amazingly talented, they just somehow got lucky enough to become a household name. Anyway, this is already too much thinking. More bangers. \/\/\/\/I think we should have a thread for every single genre of electronic music. I'll write the musique concrete thread.

And all you electropop folks just need to come out of the woodwork and start posting about your favourite electropop songs and such. By all means do not feel intimidated by the phiz bloghouse & bangers crew (they're all jerks anyway!). I may add a bunch more electropop stuff to the OP here soon to clarify. Personally I'm just torn between both of the genres because I like them so much. Having it all go down in one thread makes this easier. But yeah, post your electropop! La Roux, Annie, Memory Tapes, Little Boots, etc, they are all welcome here

What are some specific DJs you remember liking? Minimal is a very broad genre with a lot of different regional styles. But if you just want random stuff to try, some fairly well known artists who have been releasing HOT HOT HOT stuff lately are Ben Watt, Stimming, Nick Curly, Lauhaus, Dusty Kid, 2020 Soundsystem, The Field, Radio Slave, Claude Von Stroke, GummiHz, Steve Bug, Andomat 3000, Joseph Capriati, Martinez, Pantha du Prince, Efdemin, Gabriel Ananda, and Gui Boratto.

If that electro-pop/Little Boots/La Roux thing floats your boat, I really love this remix of Little Boots by Treasure Fingers (apparently TF used to be a dnb producer but haven't looked into it, kinda interesting considering the sound his electro remixes take). It's about a year old but the cheesey as gently caress bassline still gets me every time for some reason: Little Boots - Meddle (Treasure Fingers Remix)

Now i'm trying to break into the DJ scene in San Antonio, which is loving fruitless gotta say because we only acknowledge the 70s 80s and 90s, and the "Djs" here are loving awful, no exceptions. Still, gotta pander to the idiotic, idiotic masses... Always keen on new music.

He's due for a new EP this month, and a full length next year, which might see wider physical release than just an LE LP. Edit: Osh posted:Heh, it looks like they're calling him Danger Beach. He tends to do that with remixes, I think it is more of an adjective so "Beach Remix" describes the idea he was going with for his remix. The We Are Scientists one had "Danger TV Remix", and the analog television aesthetic is a common theme in his visuals. Though, I did just notice that only "remix" is not capitalized, so they probably did think that was part of his name... Fors Yard fucked around with this message at 23:20 on Dec 11, 2009 |

I think i've got a little something for everyone with this post. First up is something for my synth pals, Tycho. He's an IDM (god I hate that term) artist from San Fran. He recently released a track to the blogs called Coastal Brake. It's an easy listening ride down synthpop lane. He doesn't have many albums but Sunrise Projector and Past is Prologue are both very good and worth picking up if you're in to this sort of synth/idm material.  I'm sure some of you have heard Dre Skull's I Want You, but have you heard the remixes? AC Slater remixed this fun and fidgetty remix that I cannot stop moving my body to, there's just enough wobble & fidget to keep you dancing throughout the whole song. You can find more remixes of I Want You on the tubes.  And for some italo love, I've got a 1928 remix of College's track Can You Kiss Me First. As a huge fan of nudisco this track really gets me moving (you are dancing to this music are you not? you are a fool if you're just sitting still). Another track in similar vein is a vs with Erik Hassle and Penguin Prison. What they do to you is Hurtful. Mooqee, a relatively unknown breakbeat artist from the UK who has collab'd with breaks master Krafty Kuts several times, remixed everyone's favourite Eric Prydz track, Pjanoo (Mooqee edit). If you're in to breaks at all then this should be right up your alley, also if you like breaks then you should check out my good friends at http://nsbradio.co.uk a 24/7 breaks & breakbeat radio station. And now to break out the bloghouse! Combo's hit Crystal Ocean is a catchy tune but remixer extraordinaire Wolfchild got ahold of it and turn it in to a grittier bangin' version Combo - Crystal Ocean (Wolfchild Remix). It makes me literally want to swim in an ocean of crystals, and also dance a lot. Chinese producers Nhan & Taan got ahold of Malente & Dex's hit Hyperactive and turned it in to one banging dancefloor destroyer. Just look at how awesome they look:   And now to finish this post off with one of my favourite remixers, Redial. He has remixed the most absolutely devastating Killers remix that I have ever heard in my life. The Killers - Somebody Told Me (Redial Goes Oldschool Remix) Make sure your subs are up for this, you wont regret it I'm serious, turn this poo poo up. He recently also remixed some Empire Of The Sun which im sure you aussies have heard enough of already which was featured on deathelectro here or on my youtube here. alright that's enough from me for now! It may be unavoidable to just post youtube links to songs but it's kinda our only option with these genres. Just keep the content good and we're on our way to having a happy thread where we all get along! Man vs Child fucked around with this message at 00:50 on Dec 12, 2009 |

It would be ridiculous not to link to youtube videos, they're an extremely convenient way of allowing people to sample the music. What I'd rather not see is lots of posts that are just lists of youtube links with just the artist/track title and that's it. 2) You say "I'll have to continue expounding the virtues of Designer Drugs" and then to proceed to say nothing else on the subject. I'm honestly baffled by someone specifically saying that they're going to explain something or go into detail, and then pasting 2 youtubes and changing the subject. Please, expound upon the virtues of Designer Drugs, it would be welcomed!
