When people say Electro these days they're talking about 'electro house' usually and not 'classic electro' even though it is a misnomer. Kind of like how people say Techno when they mean 'electronic dance music'...

I mean, classic electro was very close to techno (in the Detroit sense not the general electronic music sense) instrumentally in the first place. If you changed the rhythmic structure to be more like house wouldn't you just have err, house? Maybe, slightly faster house?

Why has the term bloghouse not caught on with people into this style of music? Take ownership of your genre!

And it is basically a modern evolution of house. toadee posted:I see. What's the tie in to electro?

If you changed the rhythmic structure to be more like house wouldn't you just have err, house? Maybe, slightly faster house? Beatport has a pretty good description: "As the name implies, electro house encompasses primary elements from both the electro and house genres. While maintaining the straight 4/4 beat structure of house, electro house incorporates elements from the electro sound, such as sharp melodic analogue synthesizer hits and basslines. As with house music, vocals are also sometimes a part of the electro house sound. The tempo for electro house is often slightly accelerated from standard house, residing somewhere between 125 to 135 beats per minute (BPM). The foundation for electro house is house music, which itself is founded on multiple genres including jazz, funk, disco, soul and r&b. House was established in the 1980s in Chicago and New York in the United States by artists such as Larry Heard, Frankie Knuckles, Loose Joints and Larry Levan. Electro house came into prominence in the mid-2000s after the electroclash scene brought a pop sentiment to electronic music. With electroclash's incorporation of indie rock's use of electronic equipment to create its sound, indie rock had unintentionally become an element that affected the evolution of electro house. After the electroclash sound had run its brief but potent course, the distilled pop effect is what resulted in electro house. Electro house is designed for the dancefloor and has gained interest from both the indie rock crowd and traditional house fans." So yeah its basically faster house with "electro" sounds that's made for the dance floor (progressive).

I really can't see how electro-house is related at all to electro. It is just faster house with less vocals and more emphasis on a bass line. It really is confusing with electro-house artists and indie bands describing themselves as electro. Does anyone know if the collaboration with cylob and dmx krew is more then a once off thing? I have been playing the Private life ep non stop since it got released. http://www.privatelives.durftal.com/

its the distorted synths and emphasis on the bass and drumlines. the connection is also one of image, loads of modern electro acts (and before them electroclash groups) try to sell that 80s rockstar vibe

Kristian posted:I really can't see how electro-house is related at all to electro. It is just faster house with less vocals and more emphasis on a bass line. It really is confusing with electro-house artists and indie bands describing themselves as electro. Well Cylob and DMX are tied in closely with the whole Cornwall scene (of Vibert/Aphex/etc), so, who knows. Plus DMX is apparently really open and easy to collab with. A friend of mine from Bournemouth bought a synth off of DMX a couple years back and he's done a couple of tracks with Ed since (one of them called Bang the Gong is out on a WeMe compilation I think). There also is of course the DMX Krew remix of Rewind off of Cylob's Rewind EP if you don't have that. JimmyJazz posted:its the distorted synths and emphasis on the bass and drumlines. the connection is also one of image, loads of modern electro acts (and before them electroclash groups) try to sell that 80s rockstar vibe Yeah I'm not sure that really ties in with traditional electro as much as some would think. The synth lines were basically straight from Detroit techno. Also, the "Rockstar" vibe isn't really what Electro was about, it was a B-Boy vibe.

People call it electro because the people who listen to it are young and have never heard of electro. That's really all there is to it.

Goldfrapp has a new single out called "Rocket". It looks like this time she's going the Ladyhawke route and trying the whole "sounds like it's straight from the 80's" thing. It's too bad it's pretty bland. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRUB6RCLuO4

They did play King Of Africa though, so I guess they sorta redeemed themselves. Speaking of King of Africa, I haven't seen this song posted yet so. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gt3qvc6mg-Y

CROOKERS! MIIKE SNOW! JEUCE REMIX! HOLY gently caress! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yr51ac8tcg been back and forth with the boys from Jeuce who gave me an exclusive drop on this track especially for the tubes. I can't get enough of it! Expect the original mix/radio edit to drop on march 3rd, until then let the electrodubstep boys of Jeuce sooth your ears. And as a bonus, another Jeuce remix of my favourite, Ellie Goulding: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUSJAkQK_IE Infact, the Ellie Goulding remixes for Starry Eyed have been awesome. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxauzLX1IiA Russ Chimes Remix http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9TUN9OWEAs Monarchy 'The Horse Head Nebular' Remix http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EVQNepeQhc Monsieur Adi Remix the Monarchy remix stands out to be my favourite so far!
