favorite electronic genres
 

which types of electronic music move you? looking to learn more about them.:hphones:

It all started with Trance. I was very finicky and only liked the epic, uplifting and euphoric material. I had a great amount of disdain for this new stuff called "Tech Trance" which combined Trance and Techno. It had no emotion, no beauty! Then eventually I came around and started to like it. Then shortly after that I found Progressive House.. and then Electro House.. and then Electro and so on and so on.

Today I enjoy pretty much any variant of Trance but that's not to say I enjoy every song of course, Progressive, Tech, Electro and Dutch House, Ambient, Electro, Noise, Hardstyle, Hardcore, Industrial, Gabber, and some Minimal if it's intriguing enough.

- Drum & Bass (Techstep, Darkstep, Neurofunk, Liquid)
- Breaks (Progressive, Nuskool, Electro)
- House (Progressive, Tech)
- IDM (Breakcore, Drill N' Bass, idm, Glitch)
- Ambient
- Minimal
- Electronica

IDM (melodic, experimental, ambient)
Downtempo
Instrumental hip-hop
Breaks (nu-skool)
Electro (not so much the party stuff, though it's cool on occasion)
Drum & Bass (abstract, soulful)
House (garage, soulful, jazzy, tech, disco, hard on occasion)
Industrial dance (80s/early 90s stuff)
Dubstep (most of it annoys me in that it all sounds the same, but some is great)

Indeed! I've wanted to get into it but just as you say, a lot of does unfortunately sound similar. As said by Beardyman:



Whenever you kids get the chance I highly suggest you to listen to the whole thing

Dubstep. Here's a pretty sick tune.

I like that. Is it a single track or from an album?

House
Electro
Techno
Trance

If you need examples of artists just give me a shout :)

Just for you Kayleigh :) (and if you don't like this I will be very sad):



and for some fun Electro (give it some time):

Ambient
o Ambient house
o Ambient techno
o Dark ambient
* Breakbeat
o Baltimore Club
o Big beat
o Broken beat
* Disco
o Cosmic disco
o Eurodance

Ambient, trip hop and industrial.

Also some new age but not that wallpaper-y, John Tesh/Yanni/Enigma crap. I do have a soft spot for some Enya stuff though cuz my girl likes it.

Ha ha and Enya DOESN'T fall into that category?

The first song I'd heard before unsure where or that though.

i loved the second, its so happy and quirky at the start and just goes. I love it :D:D:love: thanks mate :D

Its from the Drag EP, which contains the songs 'Drag' and 'Bigman'

I'm getting into the Dubstep, and loving it. Also looked into noisecore, sounds pretty amazing.

IDM and amon-tobin style trip hop,
minimal techno
and whatever boards of canada is, of course!

-Old-school industrial. I'm particular in what I enjoy from here, but when I find something I think is good I'll probably love it.
-Post-industrial/modern industrial.
-Electro-punk! (I have no clue if this is a proper genre, but frankly I don't care. :3)Jabberwock, Angelspit, possibly Crystal Castles?
-Some IDM.

Pretty much anything in the Chillout/Downtempo category.

I use to listen to quite a lot of Trance and Techno. Mostly from Japan though, because I find that they tend to have better melodies in those genres.

Here's a complete list of every electronic genre I listen to.

House
Acid House
Electro House
Deep House
Funky House
French House
Trance
Acid Trance
Epic/Uplifiting/Anthem Trance
Psytrance/Goa
Synthpop
New Wave
Hi-NRG
Disco
Eurodance
Eurobeat
Techno
Acid Techno
Electro
Electropop
Freestyle
Breaks
Drum & Bass
Jungle
Happy Hardcore
some EBM/Futurepop
some Dubstep

Acid house is win. Thats all I used to listen to.

My favorite will probably always by Goa/Psychedelic Trance. It needs to come back.

Hell yeah! Phuture and D-Mob are my ****!

I'm quite interested in EBM. Since i don't have the right to post videos as an example i have to leave it for now.

Electropop from Japan. Perfume, MEG, and Tommy february6 are good places to begin.

Perfume don't make very good videos though, so if you're searching for them on YouTube, try to ignore the visuals and just listen to the songs.

It's mostly stuff you can dance to. ^^

I'm really fond of Goa trance, dubstep, and lately, I've been liking a bit of glitch to go with my dubstep.
