MechAnt Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Matt Darey has excellent podcastsI get most of my stuff through his.I love D. Ramirez as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimplexCoda Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 well a lot of the stuff i know is stuff like benny bennassi and things like that. Also i would say zombie nation would be pretty good to check out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infiniteslip Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Wow, there's so many different styles.... It would help if you posted a couple DJs or songs that you like to get an idea of your preferences.I like trance myself, lots of female vocals.....Tiesto, Armin van Buuren, Oakenfold, Santana. I also found a great progressive mix by Dave Seaman. But I have a lot of old school stuff too.It's helpful to go on Amazon.com and find a CD you like. Then look at the CDs under "Customers who bought this CD also bought" section. I've found a lot of music browsing customers' reviews and recommendations from there.Check out 1club.fm for some streaming channels too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaia.plateau Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 (edited) I've been a DJ for 7 years, since I was 16, and years 17-19 were pretty much exclusively raves with the occasional after-grad barn-rave-orgy thrown in there. About a year after that I pretty much lost all interest in electronica, though I still loathe the term "techno". So my knowledge base isn't very recent. That said.Matt Darey is indeed good shit.I personally don't care for Tiesto, but I accept that he is immensely talented. Oakenfold is overproduced garbage. Can't go wrong with Van Buuren, Paul Van Dyk is also excellent. Having that "Van" in there is always a good sign.I'd recommend solid older school stuff like Talamasca, Infected Mushroom, The Cosmic Jokers, Blue Submarine, Hallucinogen, Astral Projection, etc.If you don't mind vocals, Crystal Castles and LCD Soundsystem are very good.

infiniteslip Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 (edited) Gaia nailed it...lol, I knew someone would call me on Oakenfold. I'm not so crazy about any of his recent stuff but I'd have to say the his Goa Essentials Silver disc is one of my favorite CDs of all time.And wow wow wow, Infected Mushroom! I have to dig that disc out (B.P. Empire)....craaaaaaaazzzzyyy! Def give that a listen.Crystal Castles for sure...wish they would have opened for NIN in FL last month....It's def helpful to get mixed discs then single out artists from there....*this is going to be an awesome thread...thanks!

Sometimes you feel the strongest urge to be closer to the music, and need to try and crawl into the speakers once they're at max and you just need moar.

infiniteslip Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 OMG that video is hilarious! Reminds me of a night when I had way too much tequila and my friend put on some of my favorite old school trance and I pretty much made mad ear love to a wireless XM Radio speaker all night.... this guy with a speaker on his shoulder like a boombox!umm did i really just admit that?btw, I just came in from the garage...I found my Infected Mushroom CD...wow Add Juno Reactor to the list...

Evildave Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 i'm a huge transe lover myself, but I gues the key in all that is to just listen to music until you can discern the styles.And for all your techno needs, techno.fm and di.fm fill a HUGE part of it for me. Soma.fm when i feel more for loungy/ambient music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dw914er Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 my favorites.Armin Van BuurenPaul Van DykDJ TiestoInfected MushroomATB has some good stuff tooSome good songsTrentemoller has some good remixes, but some stuff I think is utter crap. Good stuff is his moby mix for go, and Roykstop.DJ Antione's Arabians adventure 2 is pretty sick, mix it with some benni benassi, etc, good stuffMatthew Dekay has some good songs tooetcBest mixes probably are from Armin IMO. I have different mix cds from him, and the choices and flow of them work well, and he gets alot of different trance artists in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oolatec Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Go to http://di.fm and listen... they have a bunch of sub-genres. Take note of DJs/Artists/track names that you like when you are listening. iTunes or Windows Media Player will play any of their channels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
