fav Electronica sub-genre
 

What is your favorite sub-genre of electronica? There are lots dont be confused. For example house can be fragmented into drum and bass, tribal, and a whole slew of others.


I really enjoy trance, along with house. Alot of people that I know really dont like house, they call it new age disco they do! But I love it.



So yes, tell me your favorite Electonic sub-genres.

I think I'd have to say Trance. I'm probably most familiar with it.

I like it all. Yeah I call "House" modern Disco too, or Dance, probably my fav, but there is a whole other spectrum of electronic music that would have to fall under the Jazz genre. One big chunk of it is called ambient. I really like that stuff.

Heh, I dont think I got it the first 50 times. ;)

Ambient. I find its good when your just sitting around, or as backround music when your reading a book or something, but I could never party to that. Its more for a mellow atmosphere. Thats how I generally rate my electronica, if it gets me pumped up and ready to go to a club, then its tops.

But sometimes, you just wanna sit down an chill to that.

Exactly. I mean thats what music is for, filling out the mood. You can't be 100% pumped and ready to dance all the time. I've been around a long time. Seen some music fads come and go. Even the genres that are basically eternal go through changes. I happened on modern electronic music by accident and now I'm hooked. You, Eltiraaz, seem to be very knowledgable about this genre. I'm a noobie so to speak. I do know what my ear likes, and it likes the micro-processor generated beats and sounds of 99% of the electronic genres I've been exposed to. When I was younger "House" would be my fav no doubt. Now in my advanced years I lean more to the ambient although I do get in the mood for that driving, high energy beat quite often.

breaks

I wouldnt say I'm too knowledgable about it. I really only know alot about the artists that are given alot of play at clubs in my area. There is SO much electronica music out there that its impossible to know everything about it. When it comes my time to pick song of the week, then I will give everyone a taste of my beats.

Breaks/DnB/House

Trance for sure! Ambient, I am not to sure if this is what I listen to too, but I think it sounds like some of the stuff I like. Not to show of how to break down the music I listen to. Anything fast beat that evolves and doesnt become redudant!

Hard Trance.
Uplifting Trance.
Psy.
Nu Skool Happy Hard.
HARDSTYLE! <3

DNB
Breaks
Disco

Techno is definitely my fav. but i like most forms of electronica minus Trance, which i cant stand. I listen to alot of house as well as breaks,electro,DnB and a little bit of ambient stuff if im in the mood.

trance

i like to be challenged so autechre, team doyobi(not sure what these come under)......but also like what i would call ambient....bola, boards of canada, arovane....


.....oops thats two.....

drum and bass, progresive house

I am too much of a noob to really discren everything from everything, but I enjoy alot of trance, techno, house, deep house, ambient, chillout (if not the same as last), DNB, electro, and progressive anything. I may be confusing but at least I am calm eh?

Idm

Electronica, Shiny Toy Guns ftw.

Ambient is good as well.

Indie-electronica*, and minimal, if that counts.

*I know it's not a genre, but most indie-electronica seems related strongly in my ears.

I might be boshing up a short (20-25 mins) indie/dance mix later in the week. If i do then i'll post it.

I'm prolly most interesting in indielectronica, but like the best from most the different sub-genre's in electronica

Trip-hop... Drum and bass

Learn About Different Genres
 

Hi,

There are so many different genres, it's hard to choose. I know a website that posts a new mix each day, so it's a great place to learn about new genres. I've learnt to like minamalist house and Brazilian House.

Isn't it cool how dance music is progressing! When I listen to my older albums from the early 80's and 90's, as fun as they are, they just sound so dated. Last week, I came across a website called Spineshaker, that puts a new dj mix up everyday. So far I've downloaded a bunch and they sound so good! Some of them are so modern sounding, like the minamalist house ones! Anyway, I thought I'd pass on a good find. Check it out at by searching for "Spineshaker" in Google. My favorites are SWAG and DJ River. Anyway, I"m happy to have joined this forum, and am loving the info. Keep moving

Trance for the win

gabber/hardcore!!!!!!

Electrostep, italo-dance, hardcore.
