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 :

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.

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.

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.

I've seen these being used by a lot of bands, but it seems little more than an odd shaped keyboard.

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?

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.

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 :)

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.

I would work on refining my skills/tastes if I were you, before posting these 'mixes' for 'enjoyment' by others.

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.

That was pretty much true up until recently.

We've kind of had a boost in the scene recently. Syndey Blu, Hatiras, Deadmau5, MSTRKRFT, Wolfgang Gartner, Benny Benassi, and LMFAO among others have all played one or more shows within the past couple years, among many others. I know those are kind of generic names for the scene for the most part, but it's getting better. Apparently, despite the small size of Newfie-land and its venues, we've gotten a reputation for having great shows and apparently word is spreading that it's fun to do shows here. Unfortunately, our small size doesn't make us an attractive venue for any major tour dates mind you.

Deadmau5 in particular seemed to love Newfoundland, and he did something that made me think the flak he gets for being a dick is unwarranted. He played a show which, unfortunately, the promoters jacked the price up for (In comparison to what is expected in Newfoundland), and many people were upset over it. When he couldn't leave Newfoundland following the Junos because of the volcanic ash fiasco (which caused many other celebrities to bitch and moan about being stuck in Newfoundland), he decided to host another show. Knowing some people were pissed about the price the promoters of his first show set, he put on a show for only the basic cover charge of the club ($15).

I dunno, I thought it was kind of nice :shobon:.

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.
