I started this playlist on my iTunes i4 client called Dance & Electric Music 001.

It has the following tunes --
Adam Freeland: We Want Your Soul.
Asian Dub Foundation: Witness.
Asian Dub Foundation: Debris.

But from there I'm stuck.

At most, I would only like three tunes from any one artist. I can only get it from iTunes, but if you don't have it, please still suggest, and I'll see if exists there.

Don't want any slow shit. :rolleyes:

wtf, you can only come up with three tracks?! lol!

how about:

'Valley of the Dolls' by Mylo
'Muscle Car' by Mylo
'Drop the Pressure' by Mylo
'Rocket Ride' by Felix Da Housecat
'Watching Cars Go By' by Felix Da Housecat
'Silver Screen Shower Scene' by Felix Da Housecat
'Fuck the Pain Away' by Peaches
'Smoke On The Water' by The Ripoff Artist
Any track by the Thievery Corporation; Kruder and Dorfmeister; Ali B and check out dance compilations by FABRIC.

Whoa! All those artists?

I'll start with the Chemical Brothers, first. I'll check out the others later.

iTunes lists eight or nine albums. I like Exit Planet Dust the best.

I like Leave Home, but don't know about that repetitive lyric -- "the brother's gonna work it out". Chemical Beats is good.

I like Dig Your Own Hole from the album of the same name, as well as, Setting Sun. I downloaded Setting Sun.
.
...
Mos Def - Sunshine

Oh DANCE music.

nm : \
Nice try.

Mos Def does have a couple tunes that are considered Electronic/Dance on iTunes --
Bounce.
All Praise Due.
On the Run.

I hear the electronics, barely, but not the beat that some of the others put down.

.

'Rocket Ride' by Felix Da Housecat

Only one Mylo tune on iTunes - Muscle Car.

Felix Da Housecat they got.
Peaches, as well. She's got a mouth, neh.
I'm more into the Silver Screen Shower Scene sound.

New Order - Bizarre Love Triangle, remixed!

s1eve

01-04-2005, 01:25 AM

Hmm, 'Ready Steady Go' by Paul Oakenfold. The track was used in 'Collateral' at the Korean niteclub with big shoot out. It's a good dance floor anthem.

And 'DJ Kicks' by Tiga. Awesome compilation of tracks that will get your booty grooving. If you liked 'Silverscreen Shower Scene', then this is the one. I've got it and its good. You can buy it at Amazon. Not sure if iTunes have it but check anyway.

New Order - Bizarre Love Triangle, remixed! Too popish, which is how it is categorized.

I found one from LeftField and Afrika Bambaataa that I thought was good -- Afrika Shox. Rocks, too.

Wow! That's incredibly generous. I'll have to think about it.

I know that "beggers can't be choosers", but I've been listening to a few Dance tunes through iTunes and they seem more popish and less "hard driving".

That's been my outlook on it, too. The electro shit I like to get into can't even be found on mainstream venues. How's it going so far?

I just rip shit from my own personal collection, other people's stash and wherever I can dl from on the down low. There'll be one or two hot-ass tracks on some otherwise forgettable disc...rip it, trim the fat and toss away what I won't listen to...man, this is a great age to live in for portable music, innit?

Oh, almost forgot...if you have the HD space for it, download third-party net recording soft and "tape" mixes directly from net radio. Save 'em as files you can play whenever you want. There's some slamming shit out there.

Just a quick thought that came into my head. The Prodigy are a very big dance act in the UK and their first album 'Experience' had this acid/electronic house style to it that you may like. Second album 'Music for the Jilted Generation' is abit rougher on the beats but still delivers. 'Voodoo People' and 'Speedway' would be something you may like from the second album, whilst 'No Good Start the Dance' is a very powerful dance tune.

I think you may like 'Experience' a lot since it's such a classic dance album when that genre was just exploding into society.

'The Fat of the Land' goes abit more punk and rock style. 'Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned', is more hip hop orientated album which in my opinion, they could have done a lot better with it.

Enjoy. :smile:

Coldcut goes back a few years, too.

Talk about tunes across the spectrum -- Jazz beats, as well as, the pervasive Electronic flare.

Cirrus is pretty funky, as well. I downloaded a remix of "Back on a Mission".

Dunno if it's what you are looking for but DJ Krush's new album Jaku is really good. DJ Krush is trip hop though, not really dance electronic but it's a good chill out album.

Well many DJs tend to be flexible in creating tunes of all kinds of genre.

Yeh, "Bruce Lee" by Underworld is quite a unique tune. The title of the tune just makes you want to know what's it all about - i looked miff myself when i was trying to find 'Born Slippy' by the Underworld and this came around.

s1eve, yeh, i really rate 'Experience' alot. It is the foundation of Acid House / Dance music at it's peak in my opinion. There is a remixed version to 'Experience' called "Experience Expanded: Remixes & B-sides" which is a nice collection to have aswell. Probably my favourite on 'Experience' is "Charly [Trip into Drum and Bass Version]", despite the 'alley cat mix' was the best one when it came out as a single.

I came across an interesting band called Rouge.

Found two tunes that I liked --
Dohan Girls (Alex Flatner Remix), and
Jingalay (Praha Remix).

But I can't seem to find any bio information on them on the web.

Also, it seems that if you're searching for anything funky, just search for some form of "digital" in the artists name, and your bound to come up with some good hits. :rolleyes: Like "Digital Assasins".

Someone mention Fabric live and I highly rate that aswell. The actual club itself in London is incredible - apparantly the best sound system in Europe, speaker floors in every room.

I can see that s1eve, shares the same drive and interests with dance music in general then. Since you enjoyed Fabric you should try and go to Gods Kitchen - they've got it in the States aswell - Gods Kitchen USA (http://www.godskitchen.com/usa/homeusa.php).

Some of the top DJs plays and it is one of the club nights you will remember - I know i did when I went last year in UK. I just came back the day before the event from Hong Kong, so fucking jet lagged but still went. Came back home after the event and slepted 2 thirds of monday. :tongue: Check the line up of DJs that was there at the event i went to - Gods Kitchen - Global Gathering 2004 (http://www.godskitchen.com/global/)

I didn't realize there was "stores" across the world. Scrolled down the window and there is was -- the drop down.

Didn't seem to make a different. Searched for groups with the name "Digital" and the Genre of Electronic and there seemed to be the same groups.

You've seen different search results based on store?

Okay, then try out some mixes done by 'Lisa Lashes' (Queen of Hard House) and Yoji Biomehanika (upcoming Hard House DJ).

The best mix from Lisa Lashes in my opinion is 'Extreme Euphoria Volume 3' - continous head banging beats that will drive your next door neighbour up the wall if played after midnight.

Yoji Biomehanika has a numerous of compliation, I haven't heard enough of his mixes inorder to pin point which is his best mizes are. I'll have to let you decide it when you have a look at it.

Sasha has a new one Involver, pretty good (little more on the rockish side) and an older one Airdrawndagger which is more ambient

might like stuff from the Cafe Del Mar series, more chillax music
Armin Van Buuren is a trance favorite, dont listen to him much myself but yeah what floats your boat

Acid Trance is slightly on a different scale..... Trance itself takes you into an euphoric zone, acid trance is like going into psychedelic zone where everything flashes pass your eyes. :tongue:

A friend of mine wanted me to go this place with him - Paradise City (http://www.cosmictrance.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=97) which was playing Psychedelic Trance. I'm abit gutted for not going since the line up was really good.

Hip Hop tinged Electronic huh? Ever heard of the genre 'Ninja Tunes (http://www.ninjatune.net/home/)' then? The tunes they create is very focused on layering different sounds together to make a tune along with hip hop beats and scratches. Kid Koala is one of the founding members to it. Whilst Mr. Scruff is another one who creates more obscured sounds which only his first album is the best one from the 3 albums he has released to date.

For HH stuff, try finding 'Slinky' on iTune or the internet. Other DJs who spins those kind of music are Judge Jules, Tidy Boys, John 00 Fleming, BK, Lisa Pin-Up, PVD (even), Rob Tissera.

Well, it's funny --

I go to those web sites that you all have linked, here, and I try to see if iTunes carries the artists mentioned. No dice a lot of the times. I did find Hexstatic, so that was cool.

Sometimes, I wonder if the Drum N Base category is at the discretion of those that classify music, too, rather than being what we think some of the tunes should be.

I wanted to start a second playlist of Block Rocking Beats, so to speak, but it turns out I have come across more in that hip-hop/DnB melding. I've poored through hundreds of iTunes samples, and if I don't like what I hear within the first few seconds, I move on.

Man, there's a lot of repetitive themes. Where's the individuality. :rolleyes:

It's wild seeing Public Enemy's Chuck D show up in some of the tunes (2), as well as, other famous American artists.

Well since iTune is part of Apple and it is an American company, what would they know with these genre of music that was created in UK? Chances are pretty thin in honesty...

I think the reason why some of the tunes you cannot find is only because they are either white label records or not mainstream enough for iTune to know it really. It's better if you have other file sharing softwares inorder to find some of the tunes.

'Block Rockin Beats', as in Breakbeats (AKA Breaks)? If so, it is quite normal that some of the tune tends to steer to hip hop and DnB music. Breakbeats originated from hip hop anyway - beat juggling from the same vinyls mostly. If you want to find more electronic based breakbeats, then try typing in 'breakbeat house' or other genre. Here's one i found for you - Breakbeat House (http://www.newtronic.com/docs/products/midifiles/sl68.htm).

Is Green Velvet considered Electronic? Found it under rock. Intereresting.

I think that Afrika Bambaataa is definitely part of the Electronic genre even though his stuff is classified as hip hop.

Yeah, Afrika will also be under electronic mainly because of the new mixes/updates, etc.

Those names -- out of my Electronic/Drum'n'Bass thread!

Lol...Sorry how about I make it up by putting these gems out for you to get then:

Roni Size, 'Return to V' - The latest from the man himself. Isn't too bad actually.

DJ Marky & XRS, 'In Rotation' - Drum N Bass with a twist of Brazilian style. This is a quite a fresh Drum N Bass album, doesn't have that dark hard edge sound.

Prodigy, 'The Dirtchamber Sessions Volume One' - The man behind the music for Prodigy goes back to basic vinyl mixing and compiles up some really heavy beat mixing with rock/hip hop and dance tracks.

The Avalanches, 'Since I Left You' - I'll put this along the line of Ninja Tunes but yet it doesn't really sound like it. Really obscure music genre compliled together creating this album that I highly rate and listen to alot.

Royksopp, 'Melody A.M' - This is definately electronic music that is made to the point that you can chill out with it on a Sunday afternoon. You may like this one ChottoMatte. :wink:

Does anyone here know Chinese or Taiwan pop fairly well? Normally, I don't go for it or J-Pop but I really liked this artist's sound. Not really pop. More like Delerium, Sarah McLachlan. I'll either give you a listen or type out her name and post it. Have to download word processor first.

Mostly the early 90s when the Four Kings were at it's best. *happy memories*

From what I know, the people you want to listen for their voice is really David Tao, Hacken Lee and Wong Faye in my books. For a very good music production, it would be Jay Chou.

I find that this guy, Chen Yueh Chang , is quite a refreshing change to the hk pop music. Though lyrics may make you think twice or so, at least he sings what he means.

Other than that, the rest of the current singers are just pants. All style but no substance I tell ya. Even good old Jacky Cheung said that too - Star attacks Chinese pop industry (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/music/3729201.stm). It's old news but who cares!!! GO JACKY!!!

does this show up when viewed in Big 5 encoding?

I can read it but I don't recognize anything. I think it's song title and artist. tian chang and ah jie gu. Anyone recognize either?

I don't know much Mandarin or Canton pop. I have not heard of the album or the artist that you listed. The title of the album sounds unusual. Here's what I found after some googling:

About the album:
http://zt.tibet.cn/english/yinyue/yinyeu_artist_content.asp?name=Zhu%20Zhe%20Qin

About the artist:
Her name in chinese is: 朱哲琴 (Big 5 Code)
Her name roughly translated into English is: Zhu zhe qin

Here's an article about her (in simplified chinese, I can roughly guess what it is saying):
http://www.chinamp3.com/star/html/star521.php

It says something like: Her ancestors were from the province of Hunan (湖南). She was born in Guangdong, China.

From: http://www.rootsworld.com/rw/feature/china.html

"Dadawa, born Zhu Zhe Qin, is one of these popular music singers. In 1992, she began working with He Xuntian, a music professor in Shanghai, on creating popular style music based on Tibetan ideals, unheard of in contemporary Chinese music. The result was Sister Drum, an album saturated with MIDI sequencing, that became widely popular among Mainland China and Taiwan, and embraced by Western music media. The sound was not new. But its concept was revolutionary. Zhu's chanting and He's florid use of synthetic sound created a sense of "Tibetaness" without necessarily being Tibetan. Voices from the Sky continues on that theme."

Try these for size since they are dubbed to be the best UK dance act:

Since I gave a small dosage of one artist called Krust in the DnB thread, turns out there's a album called Coded Language. There are better ones I believe but something for the head bopping and 180 bpm buzz.

for what it's worth. check out www.audiojelly.com it's more of a site for dj's. the downloads are more expensive and the songs are alot longer. typically 9 min. songs, but you can always trim the intro's/outro's. great site if you're already collecting/spinning vinyl and want to start collecting/spinning cd's. trance and prog wise, they have alot of record labels, including some of the bigger ones like Anjunabeats (which is really hot right now).. i'm not too sure about d'n'b or breakbeats as i'm not as familiar with those genre's.

Hi! My name is Leah and I'm a huge music fan. My friend who works at UMVD told me about this new artist out from Island Records named Courtney Jaye. So I wanted to know what you guys think about her music. I think she’s like a Michelle Branch/Sheryl Crow. What do you think? Her album is called “TRAVELING LIGHT” and is out June 7. Check out her first single “CAN’T BEHAVE” and let me know what you think.

Hey Leah, welcome to the board and what a decent first post you made here. :)

I have to admit, I actually enjoyed this artist. Though her voice is not very dominant but it has this nice essence of being easy listening and it's great she uses it to her benefit by mixing her voice on top with the acoustic guitar.

I wouldn't say there's a mix of Sheryl Crow in her, since she is in a very different league when it comes to soft rock / easy listening. Thanks for the imput towards music. :)

Time of month again:

If you like house which has a good twist of either, deep, twisted, funk, or disco, then get some of the compilation CDs done by Hed Kandi (http://www.hedkandi.co.uk/). Although, in my opinion, I would recommend you to go for their earlier materials, as you can hear the quality of how fresh and how well they chose their tracks to compile the compilation. All the new materials that have been coming out since 2003 has been rushed and you can hear it, degrading the quality.

Therefore, my two ultimate favourite of the Hed Kandi compilations are:

* Disco Heaven 1 02.02 - One of the most phunked out disco house.
* Disco Kandi 4 - Probably has some of the most chunkiest disco beats ever put compared to the other compilations that I have listened to.

I also like to address to you to get this from Hed Kandi, which is the Hed Kandi 1: The World Series U.K. Mix 1. This compiles of 3 different house music:

- The Beach House
- The Disco Heaven
- The Twisted Disco

This is the only compilation that came out in 2003, which I like. It retains the quality like the two I recommended, with the benefit that each variety has been mixed together (the other two stated don't). My personal favourite out of those 3 is The Beach House - absolutely mellowed and chilled out house music which you can put on, and even better if it is a decent sunny day.

HECK!! I really recommend you to get these on CD, you won't regret it if you like the disco and funk beats.

Oh, something I came across to. Whilst clubbing it out at Fabric *smug at s1eve*, a DJ played this tune that really blew me away. If you can find it, it's The Prodigy - Voodoo People (Pendulum Remix)

I've been listening to Ash - Meltdown. It's their new album, and I really like this Irish Band. They sound more like an American emo/rock band (think jimmy eat world), but netherless, they have a good sound to them. Keane is also another band that sounds unique, yet not to the point which it drives you away. More or less, they are compared to Coldplay, for reasons I can understand. LCD Soundsystem however is a band (or rather a one man group, who tours live with a band), who sounds very unique, and might not appeal to some. I like all the albums though.

Kennyb

Meltdown has been out for almost a year now. I still prefer their first album, 1977...

Keane compared to Coldplay?? Hmm.... I wouldn't even dare to do that, since they Coldplay, in respect, are by far better with their music and lyrics. The closet band that I would compare with Keane are Snow Patrol, which their album, Final Straw, is very good and understated because they came out at the same year with Franz Ferdinand and Keane.

Faithless is more the 'trippy' type whereas Krust is pure DnB.

On the DnB and Breakbeat tip:

London Elektricity - Born to Synthesize
London Elektricity - Life is Beautiful (might not be out)
London Elektricity - Different Drum
Lenny Fontana - Spread Love
Goldie - Timeless ( This is a C L A S S I C )

These are jazzstep/liquid style jungle.

You're such a good person.

Are Faithless and Krust, sort of, the Tripnotic types? I mean, they're music is "trippy".

Both are trippy in their own respect to their music genre.

Faithless trippy in the dance music scene. I wouldn't say Krust is trippy DnB. The word you should be really using is 'dark' and 'dirty'.

Have you ever thought about typing Drum & Bass in the search for the iTune store??? Came out with quite a few results.... :tongue:

This is really starting to become a challenge... All the ones I want to reccomend, about 4 out of 10 are there on the iTune shop....

Mos Def does have a couple tunes that are considered Electronic/Dance on iTunes --
Bounce.
All Praise Due.
On the Run.

I hear the electronics, barely, but not the beat that some of the others put down.

"I against I" by mos sounds pretty electronic to me. Then again I'd be lying if I said I really listened to electronica...

Stanton Warriors are break specialist - similar to Krafty Kuts.

The poem and lyrics are as relevant as ever.

Gil Scott-Heron (born April 1, 1949) is an American poet and musician, known primarily for his late 1960s and early 1970s work as a spoken word performer, associated with African American militant activists. Heron is most well known for his poem/song "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" (1974).

The revolution Will Not Be Televised
By Gil Scott-Heron

You will not be able to stay home, brother.
You will not be able to plug in, turn on and cop out.
You will not be able to lose yourself on skag
and Skip out for beer during commercials,
Because the revolution will not be televised.

The revolution will not be televised.
The revolution will not be brought to you by Xerox
In 4 parts without commercial interruptions.
The revolution will not show you pictures of Nixon
blowing a bugle and leading a charge by John
Mitchell, General Abrams and Spiro Agnew to eat
hog maws confiscated from a Harlem sanctuary.

The revolution will not be televised.
The revolution will not be brought to you by the
Schaefer Award Theatre and will not star Natalie
Woods and Steve McQueen or Bullwinkle and Julia.
The revolution will not give your mouth sex appeal.
The revolution will not get rid of the nubs.
The revolution will not make you look five pounds
thinner, because the revolution will not be televised, Brother.

There will be no pictures of you and Willie May
pushing that shopping cart down the block on the dead run,
or trying to slide that color television into a stolen ambulance.
NBC will not be able predict the winner at 8:32
or report from 29 districts.
The revolution will not be televised.

There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down
brothers in the instant replay.
There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down
brothers in the instant replay.
There will be no pictures of Whitney Young being
run out of Harlem on a rail with a brand new process.
There will be no slow motion or still life of Roy
Wilkens strolling through Watts in a Red, Black and
Green liberation jumpsuit that he had been saving
For just the proper occasion.

Green Acres, The Beverly Hillbillies, and Hooterville
Junction will no longer be so damned relevant, and
women will not care if Dick finally gets down with
Jane on Search for Tomorrow because Black people
will be in the street looking for a brighter day.
The revolution will not be televised.

There will be no highlights on the eleven o'clock
news and no pictures of hairy armed women
liberationists and Jackie Onassis blowing her nose.
The theme song will not be written by Jim Webb,
Francis Scott Key, nor sung by Glen Campbell, Tom
Jones, Johnny Cash, Englebert Humperdink, or the Rare Earth.
The revolution will not be televised.

The revolution will not be right back
after a message about a white tornado, white lightning, or white people.
You will not have to worry about a dove in your
bedroom, the tiger in your tank, or the giant in your toilet bowl.
The revolution will not go better with Coke.
The revolution will not fight the germs that may cause bad breath.
The revolution will put you in the driver's seat.

The revolution will not be televised, will not be televised,
will not be televised, will not be televised.
The revolution will be no re-run brothers;
The revolution will be live.

I can't believe that I never stated this album to your guys....

The Avalanches - 'Since I Left You' and 'When I Met You'.

Probably the most obscure albums out. I can't really pinpoint which genre it is in but classify this as ninja tunes. At first you would think it's hip hop but as you progress through the albums, it just gets weirder.

'When I Met You' is basically the extended remix to 'Since I Left You'. You will probably be amazed when you see the tracks that are on it. Somehow, they managed to mix everything from The Beatles, Michael Jackson, Fleetwood Mac and even the theme tune to the Mickey Mouse Club!!!

Get both, as 'When I Met You' doesn't have all the tracks from 'Since I Left You'.

I really reccomend you to get the 2 disc special instead of the 1 disc. The 2 disc special has remixes done to their songs and they are good stuff - Voodoo People in Pendulum remix is the biz!!

I'm getting a real buzz with Uniting Nation - 'Ai No Corrida' and Braund Reynolds - 'Rocket' though the most.

Talk about coincidence. I was just about to pick up The Prodigy Experience: Expanded until I read your post. Which version of the Their Law: The Singles did you get? You said the 2-disc, so is that the 31 track import with the live versions of Breathe, Firestarter, Their Law, Serial Thrilla, Spitfire? I tried to find it on Amazon but they're pretty useless with descriptions and track listings and there's like 4 different versions of it. Could I ask where you got yours and for how much? Also, should I still pick up The Prodigy Experience: Expanded? Currently I only have Fat of the Land (which I love!).

I got the 1 disc version before I realised there was a 2 disc version. So I am kinda gutted for needing to spend money again, just to get those extra remixed tracks. Yes, 2 disc version is the 31 track with the live set of the songs you listed. My friend told me that the 2 disc version comes in a book form rather than the plastic CD casing. Here's a picture of it - The Prodigy - Their Laws: 2 disc (http://www.hmv.co.uk/hmvweb/displayProductDetails.do?ctx=12;-1;-1;-1&sku=394280).

Normally I get my music at the any leading music record shop. I'm never been a fan of buying things online apart from books and computer stuff.

You should definately get Experience: Expanded. It was originally only obtainable in Japan but since it's now popping about in record shop, it's quite a gem to have. I don't have the copy but I have heard it from a friend's copy and it is quite refreshing to here new forms of mixes. I think that's what make them so good - they always go back and challenge themselves in making the original better.

I'll be quite honest with you, I never did quite like 'Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned'.... The credit I give to Liam Howlett (the man behind all the tunes) for the tracks in the album is how raw it sound and that he steered it slightly to the hip hop sound. However, when you look back and listen to the previous albums, it's always about hard dance music. This to me doesn't seem to have it.... I don't know if you knew this but Howlett himself made this album quite quickly. Originally he had about 15 tracks all made and at the last minute, he didn't like them and started all from scratch!!!

Now the 'The Dirtchamber Sessiosn, Vol. 1' is an awesome album - very similiar to The Avalanches stuff but a lot more rougher and harder edge to it. I'm still wondering when he's releasing volume 2 at it.

This is point worth mentioning, Liam Howlett is the main man behind all The Prodigy tunes. So why did/does he need Keith Flint, Maxim and Leeroy (have left the group already)?

Yeah, you're right, probably not the strongest album. You take what iTunes will give, I guess, unless you go out to the net. Some of the tunes that I did like off the album were found as remixes in other albums, so I didn't include them from Outnumbered in my playlist. Not sure if Girls is the same between Outnumbered and other the single. I like the female vocalist, Juliette Lewis.

Dirtchambers is good, and I debated buying the whole album, but I argued against it because it was nothing but mixes of other songs. And even though I love all the songs in those mixes, I'd rather hear them in their entirety. :frown:

Now, that you mention it, it reminds me that I'll need to take a look at the old stuff again. Had been hedging on downloading Charly because of the weird kid spoken and cat meow portions.

Thanks Kennyb for your response. I think I'll start with this compilation first and see if I like it enough to buy the other albums. I'm dissappointed this doesn't have Rat Poison. I think this track is much better than Poison, but it can't be found on any regular albums just on the CD singles.

Then you shouldn't really go for The Avalanches stuff then, since they just mix and mash all sorts of music together. For me, I really like that - it shows how skillful they are at mixing. DJ Yoda and Venom are probably some of the best mixers that can chuck any kinds of music together and make it sound amazing.

With Dirtchamber Session, it's a great album because of the fact Liam ditched his synthesizer and keyboard to show that he can also make music by mixing vinyls together.

...diesel power

Hmm... I didn't really think too much with that track to be honest. I think Narayan is the best track for Fat Of The Land, with Firestarter coming closely by.

Now that I mentioned it, I forgot how fresh Firestarter sounds. Was in a club and man was it great to hear it being played, along with Born Slippy.

Tiesto's supposedly supposed to be a hot DJ, but too slow for my tastes.

Can anybody suggesting anything from him, still? :smile:

iTunes doesn't have that one. :frown:

They have Vero Electronics and Avant Hard. I like the tune Metal Fingers in my Body. (Whatever that means.)

I've been trying to find a U2 song that has the charge of a Vertigo.

Maybe "God, Pt. 2".

The reason why he is stated as a hot DJ in the world is only because of commerical reason, i.e. publicising themselves as a brand. In the end they are voted based on how well they have done on their sets which the publics were at to witness.

I don't believe he is as skillful compared to the likes of DJ Qbert, Mix Master Mike, DJ Venom, DJ Kentaro or even Kid Koala.

Give me a couple of minutes to think about it, since most of his tunes that he produced are mostly slow starters... PVD current album though is a killer - he played it during his set at the Global Gathering 2005.

I don't think you can really compare trance dj's to turntablists. i prefer to listen to trance and prog, but have a great respect for turntablists. besides diference in musical styles, they're the only genre of dj's who go beyond just playing music, to using the turntables as an actual instrument.

PVD's a good choice, as he took over the #1 spot on the djlist from Tiesto. but who i really recomend at the moment is gabriel & dresden (aka andain, motorcycle and bigtop). they're production style varies from trance to house and everything inbetween. great stuff, highly recomended

if looking for something abit more hous-y, the new deep dish album is really good too

and for minamlist techno. richie hawtins de:9 is really good. this cd/dvd combo is great.

Point taken for what you said but I guess I like to let people know that the world top 100 DJ list are not being judge by their skills but by their publicity - people's choice.

It's like saying the best wrestler in WWE is/was The Rock because he kept saying that he was the "people's champion". But really Kurt Angle is "technically" a better wrestler (since he was in the Olympic).

That was a funny way to compare things then.... :rolleyes:

Playlist?

Basically any track off talib kweli's album that was leaked out a month or two ago. Especially the one with MF Doom...unfortunately I forget what it's called. As well as Sex, Drugs, and Basketball.
How about one made up of nothing but scratch-artists / turntablists?

Like Mix Master Mike?

No, that's cool on the hip hop tunes.

But I got a craving for a specific playlist loaded with turntablists / scratch artists.

"Man that scratch is making me itch!"

I got to let you lot have a listen to this mix that my friend told me. This DJ basically mixed 153 tunes within 5 minutes and it is probably one of the insane things I have heard and yet it is such a gem to have as a mp3.

I managed to find that mix at a forum which consist loads of Breakbeats and other mixes done from various DJs. Check it out - http://www.drumandbass.ro/dnb/forum/viewtopic.php?p=33546. The 153 tunes mix is called Aquasky - Annie Mac's Mini-Mix on Radio 1, 26.01.2006 .

There is also some Funky House mix that a friend of mine found on a website at - http://www.soulfuric.com/audio.php. Shit loads of mixes you can download off.

Enjoy guys. :)
