Electronic music thread

not sure if i'm still on ignore lol

my 2-year old often calls for "Olivalieb!" music to dance too. he's not keen on the Spicelab stuff, but can't get enough of Subraumstimulation. neither can i, arguably top ten finest trance tracks ever:




i reckon Lieb with the french fella behind Airwave (and many more) and Mike Push are the big three of late-90's/early-00's trance. so much quality output.

Yep spot on
Still get goosebumps hearing Mikes tunes. So many killer tracks that he made or remixed. One that doesnt get played as often but is intense and one of my all time faves…

Thats a bit of a myth about nothing being like them at the time. When Vault first came one assumed it was a new Fresh track before finding out it was some new lads called Pendulum. That said they definitely went on to dominate the mainstream side of the scene from that point onwards, pimarily because their tunes just sounded so much fatter than everyone elses.

This was also when I started losing interest in DNB. The appeal of DNB for me and my mates was that it was a genre which took influence from funk, soul, jazz etc and mixed that with current day bass culture. It was electronic music but it had strong organic elements due to sampling culture, it wasn't all synthetic. Pendulum just sounded like dnb influenced by stadium rock... lots of bold but very basic sounding synth leads playing cheesy melodies, 200hz snare drums, everything turned up to 11, big focus on mid-range frequencies, it’s the polar opposite of what I like about DNB.

I cant remember which producer it was but they described Pendulum as what DNB would sound like if black culture had never influenced the scene... bit harsh but reasonably accurate.

edit: I feel like I've written this exact same post in this thread before lol

I will confess that I used to really like Pendulum. They were one of the first electronic must artists, that I'd ever heard, let alone DnB. It really caught my imagination. I saw them live in I think 2006 at Liverpool Uni. After Pendulum I listened to a lot of Hospital Records' productions, which on reflection was largely uninspiring music, but there were a few hidden gems.

After that I went a bit underground and found the 'true' DnB which was a thousand times better than the aforementioned.

This is the greatest DnB album of all time, in my opinion. It has everything.
