I like a shitload of different stuff, and I'm always trying to find good music. Just recently I've found some good stuff through iTunes Genius recommendations, and I'm looking to find stuff in a similar vein. Mainly: Random Firl by Late of the Pier (but not their other songs). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_PY...player_embedded Sleepyhead by Passion Pit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bfseWNmlds Someone Great by LCD Soundsystem http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaYsczkWti0 (although again not really their other stuff) I guess also The Avalanches are in a slightly similar vein, but not really, though I do like them. I don't know quite how to classify this sort of stuff exactly, I guess electronic pop but it's not quite as simple as that, as I'm looking for stuff with an interesting and unusual sound. I'll probably be hitting up this thread with some other requests for other kinds of stuff too. Thanks.

Well actually I was basing my dislike of Late of the Pier's other stuff on itunes samples, but after listening on youtube the rest of the album seems pretty good. I do like Hot Chip and MGMT, not so keen on Royksopp since it's all a bit samey. Also not so keen on Simian mobile disco except "The Hustler", since it's all just a bit too synthy and derivative. It's a real turnoff when I can hear a synth sound that's one of the really basic ones from a really popular Roland synth or whatever, it just seems lazy. I will check out the others you've mentioned though, and probably will by the LotP album, thanks a lot. Also if you have any recommendations for standout tracks particularly, or if anybody else has similar recommendations that'd be great.

Heh, well they had a couple of good songs, but nah, too 80s. If it gives anybody more of an idea one of my favourite acts is the Prodigy, I like interesting beats/breaks a lot.

Vannaroth posted:I'm just recently dabbling in electronic music and would really appreciate any recommendations along the same lines as Groove Armada, The Prodigy, Chemical Brothers, Propellerheads etc. I know next to nothing about electronic music and its subgenres so these groups are really the only reference I can give you guys to score some recommendations You've hit upon some of the better ones there. I recommend: Hot Chip - Good tracks are "Over and over", Ready for the floor, Touch too much and One pure thought to name a few. The Postal Service, particularly Brand new colony. Lemon Jelly for some nice relaxing stuff (although not necessarily the slower more ambient electronic music. Leftfield have some great tracks, with Phat Planet and Storm 3000, two of my favourites. Faithless have some amazing, classic dance tracks, most notably Insomnia and God is a DJ. Mint Royale are another good one, you may well have heard their version of Singing in the rain but they have other good songs too, such as I don't care and My heart is beating fast. If drum and bass is more your thing, you can't get much better than Roni Size. Pretty much anything off the albums Touching down and In the mode That should keep you going
