TheForgotton posted:A friend of mine plays in Miami under the name Panic Bomber. To me, it sounds like a funky, experimental Daft Punk. He sometimes plays with a horn section, like in this video. fucker stole my idea before I had a chance to implement it. Ever since I heard Justice's remix of Electric Feel, I thought it would be cool to have a live act like DJ Champion's but with horns instead of guitars. And now someone's doing just that! this rules!

And since I can't mention Champion without showing you what I'm talking about : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RD_fQirnWgs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvWrCDL_bi4 He's basically a house producer who uses guitars instead of synths. Haters will say why not ditch the guy with the computer and get a drummer but I think it's cool.

twistedmentat posted: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.

twistedmentat posted:Instrument question; what is the box that often electronic bands have. It's about the size of a drum pad, but it has about 12 buttons on it. You're going to have to be more specific than "box with about twelve buttons on it." Who have you seen using it? Might you be able to find a picture of them using it? Does it have any other characteristics that stand out?

Pyr0 posted:I've recently started listening to a lot of french electronic music, such as Danger, Justice, Kavinsky and Data. I was wondering what genre they fall into? Also what other artists would I enjoy if I like their sound? This kind of music has been called French Touch, electro, and electro-house, but I don't like any of those names because electro is the name of another genre as well, and electro-house is also used to refer to stuff like David Guetta and Benny Benassi, which although it has some similarities is its own distinct sound. Other artists you might like are Boys Noize, Digitalism, Simian Mobile Disco, Mr. Oizo, Revolte, Bag Raiders, Miami Horror, Russ Chimes, and MSTRKRFT. Some of the artists I just listed are pretty different from each other (Boys Noize and Russ Chimes?) but they're all similar in some way to at least one of the artists you mentioned.

dk2m posted:electro babby checking in. I recently got the Manners CD by Passion Pit as a joke gift by a friend and in a stunning turn of events, I love the poo poo out of it. It's not grim or frostbitten but I absolutely love it. Now, I don't know anything about the genre and I tried out some of the music that was posted in this thread and I can say I definitely don't like Daft Punk or techno-disco. I'm kind of excited that I have so much music to discover but I need some more music to identify a style. So yeah, more artists like Passion Pit would rule Really curious as to how that was a joke gift. "haha yes I can't wait to see his face when he gets this widely acclaimed album by a respected band!" Or did he hand it to you and say, "Learn some Manners!"

I've been listening to Perfume's other material (holy crap they have a lot of PVs) and although it has too much of a "this is for little girls" vibe for me, the synths sound SO COOL! This Yasutaka guy sure knows his stuff.

Regression posted:- what I dislike is "electro-pop", generally poppy songs, songs made for dancing only, "immature" trance stuff (immature being my impression of it, not intended to offend people who like that kind of music). Electro-pop isn't the name of a style of music. It's just a description which could mean different things depending on the intent of the speaker. In this thread, it's being used as an umbrella term for pop songs with electronic instrumentation. So it's a pretty broad and vague descriptor. But what you like is more important than what you don't, anyway, so I'll throw out some things you might like and you can tell us what you think of them: https://www.myspace.com/larryheardakamrfingers - One of the first house DJs and producers. "Can you Feel it", in the Myspace player, is considered the first deep house record. https://www.myspace.com/djmiguelmigs - The poppier side of deep house. Great summer music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8cmdbaNPEE - One of Miguel Migs's older, mellower sample-driven tracks https://www.myspace.com/kevinyost - The jazzier side of deep house. https://www.anderstrentemoller.com - Acclaimed electronic musician who falls somewhere along the techno <-> house continuum. Not "sunny"-sounding like the above. https://www.myspace.com/djfeddelegrand - Since you mentioned him, what do you think of Fedde le Grand's other stuff? From what you've told us, I wouldn't have expected you'd like him (poppy songs, songs made for dancing only) but if you want more stuff like this, there's a wealth of it out there.

coolstorybro posted:Can somebody give me a playlist of some relatively mainstream and upbeat techno that would run well together at a party? (20-30 songs) I can't tell whether to take this post at face value, or to take it as a joke about the usage of the words electronica and techno. I mean, it could easily be an honest request, but the timing is just too perfect considering the present discussion.

Acrimonious posted:Both this, and the last mix you posted are exceptionally bad. Have you listened to many mixes from good djs who actually mix/blend/program well? It seems like you just bought some cdjs, some crappy girly music (hey, i'm sure there are teenage girls out there who eat this poo poo up) and decided to hit 'record'. I would work on refining my skills/tastes if I were you, before posting these 'mixes' for 'enjoyment' by others. Attn: All DJs who play nu-disco, bloghouse, or dreamwave music: You should stop playing this music entirely. It is girly. Good DJs only play manly music. Ignore what the blogs tell you about this music. Despite the enthusiastic praise it has been getting, it is actually objectively bad and you should never play it, even to its fans. Please refine your tastes. This has been a message from Acrimonious.

Rakshas posted:Been trying to find the name of a high pitched french rapper/vocalist who used to get a lot of airtime on GBS.fm. Another thing I know is he did a lot of covers. Guess this falls into the french electro house category. That sounds kind of like Tiga but he's Canadian. He's covered Hot in Herre, Louder than a Bomb, and Sunglasses at Night, among others. He has a high-ish voice, especially on Hot in Herre.

Which half of MSTRKRFT has the DJing talent? because Al-P is going to be in Kelowna soon and I'm hungry for some bloghouse.VenomHowell posted:That was pretty much true up until recently. The Okanagan valley is going through a similar boost. Almost all the DJs you just named have been to Kelowna recently and sometimes Penticton or Vernon even get something. Admission is way more expensive than it is in big cities though, as I imagine it must be in Newfoundland. It's cool that Deadmau5 did that but man sorry to hear about your expensive clubs. $15 on a regular night in St. John's? drat. I hope you're right about the night life being fun there. Maybe I'm biased though. Here in Vernon, people are so cheap that clubs can't charge any cover or else no one will go there.
