elektronika anyone?

[Lauren Short]

yea, i have an extended list of musical interests but i thought i'd ask if anyone is into elektronika such as trance, techno, break beats, etc.

a few of my favorites:

dj tiesto (trance, progressive)

dj mystik (trance)

diesel boy (jungle)


there are quite a few others such as these guys (http://www.ravetrax.com)


well if anyone has interest/suggestions i'm always willing to listen :nerd:

I was a metal head growing up but in the last 3-4 years I've really gotten into electronica, especially trance. Lately I'm also really digging D&B/Jungle too.

Tiesto/PvD/Oaky/Ferry Corsten/BT are probably some of my fav trance producers.

Dieselboy is the bomb...his shit was my gateway to D&B/Jungle (of which I've really only started listening to a couple months ago).

I do some living room DJing (basically just for myself, but also for some parties that I and my friends throw), but it's hard because I'm so new to the genre I really don't know the names of a lot of the great producers. Usually I'll end up experimenting by getting someone I've never heard of who has a remix on the album by someone I know. Right now I'd really like to get some more D&B albums, but I know squat all about D&B acts. If any of you have any reccommendations on groups to check out along the lines of Dieselboy and the stuff he mixes, I'd love to hear it. :)

I used to be big on all the electronica stuff.. nowdays I stick to trip hop and slow beat shtuff.. portishead, lamb, goldfrapp, sneaker pimps, massive attack etc

I liek lots...
Felix da housecat, Soulwax, Leftfield, Squarepusher, Mirwais, Chemical Bros, Unkle, Dj Shadow (not so electronic), Console (check out '14 zero zero', Ladytron, Hooverphonic, Tommy Schumacher is funny, Optimo...
stuff like that, and drum n bass.
Faithless is good too, 'God is a Dj, Speed garage mix' is good.

I should look into speed garage :)

for anyone local to Seattle try to grab some of The Funkist aka DJ Flave's stuff, I have never seen a better DJ set and wish that he had a big label pick him up so I could have easier access to his work.

There are others that are far to many to mention.....

[Undertow]

haha everything yu just listed was mainstream electronica :}
what I meant by main stream was that they actually get regular radio play.. electronica isn't really played on local radio. Any artist that's featured on a compiliation album of course is mainstream which covers all but 2 of the artists I posted. I didn't know how obscure we were going with this one. Since when is The Funkist and Yoji mainstream? Maybe I'm a little behind the times here..
