Dance/Trance/Techno/ and related?

I like dance and electronica, especially the bass and high tempo. For slower experimental/dub and bass: Squarepusher are great in my opinion (ultimate relaxation. I like fast and techno/electronica-ised versions of songs. Squarepusher songs - Iambic 9 Poetry, Vic Acid (my favourite), Lost in Space...haha, CSS (forgot the full name) have a funny dance-type song, but ever so slightly disturbing. Some suggestions for dance are DJ Markski, DJ Twocan, Darude, Cascada, DJ Cammy (warning - very wierd), Bob Sinclair is good...many others of which I'll think of and post later. I'm failry liberal with my music taste - anything that is well thought out, constructed and executed is good music.

Don't fear Leonidas...Squarepusher is just one of many many artists who I listen to and aren't 'mainstream'. It is just a guy (Tom Jenkinson) who makes music from his home studio somewhere in Europe- very obscure!

I remember going to Two Tribes in Melbourne in 2005, a whole mini city of 20,000 ravers and it was an experience I can see myself telling the grandkids. For sure take your missus out for another one, it's such a blast I'm getting all tingly thinking about it.

Amen to that

O and other ones I like are: The Crystal Method, Paul Oakenfold, DJ Sammy and E-Nomine. All great artists =)

and yeh it does seem us Aussies are more into it other than 2 others (unless they are Aussies aswell )

Well Zaitsev doesn't have his location under his avatar so I never knew, know is the quest to see where Hugoestr comes from

Some other that haven't been mentioned are:

I have a few VNV nation songs, they are good, saw them last year when they visited South Africa. I used to be more into the older industrial electronic stuff, Skinny Puppy, FLA, Front 242 etc.

Originally posted by Bulldog Doesn't anybody think Trance is way to repetitive, simplistic, plain and devoid of emotion. House has a bit more depth, there was a brief House & Garage phase in the UK. But when it come's to electronic influenced music, Hip-Hop wins hand's down Where's the old-school rappers, the new-age 50 Cent commercial mish-mash is damn poor compared to the good old days

Nope, trance has many forms and can contain a great deal of depth, variety and emotion. Anyone who listens to the type of trance known as euphoria (often combining uplifting female vocals with electronica) will know what I mean.

If anything, I can't stand rappers. Listening to a bunch of dudes propogate the degenerate gang culture and about how awful life is and use inferior English makes one want to hang oneself from the rafters. The lazy, pot smoking, backwards rap culture has so little to offer outside its world of crime and subordinating women as though they were property.
