For the longest time my love for Electronic music could not include Techno. I don't know what it is, but I have the feeling that it lacks something. I felt it didn't have a lot of energy, emotion, or melody. It definitely had drive, LOTS of drive. Well finally I've broken into it. Slowly, but surely. I started with a huge name, Len Faki, and someone I found on accident, Asagaoaudio. Asagaoaudio is definitely on the harder side of things, while Len Faki is a sort of commercial DJ; a lil' bit of both worlds!
I like them for quite opposite reasons. Blunt Weapon is a harsh gritty tune with the sort of filth that I look for in Electro and Tech House, and the darkness I look for in Hardstyle. The other track sounds like it would be played at a sold out stadium. That pounding bassline and the simple melodies would make a crowd go insane.
On another note, I've been on the search for deep Electronic songs with the sort of feeling I get from Progressive House. It's hard to explain what exactly, except maybe a sort of city at sunset right down the street from a beach. It started with 3 tracks from Tiesto's In Search for Sunrise 7: Asia.
They're not the sort of Mango, Proff, Shingo Nakamura, and Dinka tracks I'm used to. I've unfortunately only really come up with two
If anyone could give me suggestions on stuff that's similar, I'd be grateful! On another note, I've been getting into Screamo and Post Hardcore lately. I got I Would Set Myself on Fire For You's Believes in Patterns, The Saddest Landscape's You Will Not Survive, and the album with the really long title. Something like marching boots to war.. and I suffocate because they're tied too tightly for **** sake? I don't know.
