the nearest channel to "cell phones" is electronic music? somebody searching for "electronica cell phones" is going to click this video and be utterly disappointed when they find that it features neither electronica nor cell phones.

Wow, someone called dubstep "dubstep". A Sift First!

Nah, we usually call dubstep "dubstep", it's just that we call most other genres of electronic music "dubstep" too.

>> ^acquacow:

Since when is deadmau5 dubstep?


Ever since "Dubstep" became the new "Techno". The all-encompassing word used to describe any electronic music genre someone isn't familiar with.

And have we now entered the phase when all electronic music will be referred to as dubstep?

Squarepusher is anything but new.

He was pioneering what would soon become "electronica" when Trent was still pushing his hot-topic centric electronic angst rock.

Tom Jenkinson (aka Squarepusher) along with Aphex and Autechre, basically created IDM (which turned into "electronica" once stupid marketing losers in the US got hold of it) back in the early 90's. He's got a shitload of releases and is one of the most influential electronic musicians of all time.

And dont get me started on the shitstorm that is Daft Punk. First of all, they came well after underground electronic music was already a global phenomenon, and second, their special blend of stealing other ppls music and putting a weak house beat underneath is pure garbage by most music snobs standards. To even mention them in a thread about Squarepusher is sacrilege.

It reminds me of when people in the past used to ask me for good examples of electronic type music. I used to use The Fragile (two-disc album by NiN, if you don't have it do yourself a favor and get it) as an example for it (at the time Massive Attack was great as was Sneaker Pimps, but I was aiming for something U.S. centric), though I had to remind them that "The Fragile" was really a mix of rock and electronic. But, there are some tracks on "The Fragile" that ARE electronic(a). The track used for the very popular 300 trailer (you could say due to that track--if you haven't heard the song do yourself a favor and go listen now), "Just Like You Imagined" really helped showcase Trent Reznor's ability in electronic(a).
This was again proved when he won (with the great Atticus Ross as well) best musical score for The Social Network, which was essentially an entirely electronic album (Tron:Legacy of the same year included a soundtrack that was also electronic by the ever popular Daft Punk).
It's some of these past masters in this music category that you find this new generation of GOOD musical artists.

This is how you do fucking awesome electronic music. <3

for me the measure of quality in electronic music like this, has always been if the overall "sound" of the music is original. For example, this obviously is not, because the beat sounds A LOT like 2 Unlimited, so, it's just a copy cat crap, however 2 Unlimited is pretty decent.
This would happen a lot in the 90's. You would get a decent techno music from any givern act, and then 100 other acts would show up all using the same sounding beats and samples. I always hated that.

Thought you would dig this.

Ooooooooooooooooh. Coming from an electronic music background, ADSR stands for Attack Decay Sustain Release. This ADSR has nothing to do with that.

Fanks Mate!

Don't get me wrong, he's talented but you'll never find anything of his on my ipod. Trance for life.


I listen and listened to allot of trance for last 14 years or so, To me so much of it is utter shit its almost not worth listening to all the "shit" to get to the good stuff.

seems to be an issue with allot of electronic music I guess because its easy to produce the basics but hard to make something iconic or sound really tight.

anyway lol I find it strange listening to trance when out the contrast between people doing every day boring shit and what I am listening to is to much , maybe if I was on mushrooms it would work better together.

You probably know about it already but if not you should check out www.DI.FM , They do play annoying adds and lack new content allot but in general its decent.
