[Kirsch 1]

So yeah... I'm in that kind of mood. So what's some stuff I should have in my collection?

Right now I've got some Darude and DJ Tiesto... any others?

Halcyon + on + on by Orbital. If any of you guys have seen CKY2K, it's the tune playing when they're in iceland.

Orbital (as mentioned)

Future Sounds of London

BT (a bit more pop-rock)

[mack 44]

Oakenfold's probably too obvious.

[headonaswivel 1]

No, it isn't...some people aren't too rounded musically.

Tiesto is great, good choice. Darude had one hit, so ....

Bad Boy Bill

Hatiras

Sasha

Best movies ever.....and the song is pretty cool, but that was a boring part in the movie lol.

Yeah I have a bunch of Oakenfold. I have alot of Chemical Brothers too. I'll have to check this stuff out.

EDIT: Oh btw, if the "not to rounded musically" was directed to me... I'm appalled.

[headonaswivel 1]

Not in the least.

It was more of a general comment to many, not to you.

Its very obvious a guy that has DM as an avator asking about new electronic music has a broad spectrum of music tastes

4 Strings, Popula Demand, DEFINITELY stick with the Darude, X-Treme, sho-T, STM 200, B3-Project, dj TAKA, NW260, RevenG, De-Sire, Shawn the Horny Master (dont ask he chooses what people call him), NAOKI, Scotty D., D.J. Amuro, Cli-Max, and ZZ. Some songs you really gotta get are V (For Extreme), A by D.J. Amuro, 9 P.M. Till I come, and Zombie Nation. Hope this helps.

(Yes, I live for Dance and Trance.)

I was wondering today as I was listening to some Oakenfold, how do they make Techno/Trance.? Is it all computer based? I would really like to try my hand at putting some basic stuff together, but I have no idea how to get started. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Add some Astral Projection, Juno Reactor and Safri Duo to the collection as well.

I'm not sure if he's into this type of music, but PM Markku. A friend of mine went across to Finland a dew years ago for hockey and he'd always tell me about great Techno songs that were out there. They eventually made their way back here, but it took a while. I was going through some old CDs. Becca was alright, Brooklyn Bounce and there are a few more. I find alot of Dance music is one hit wonders so it's a little difficult to suggest.

You may want to start with some loop-based music software, I think they are fairly easy to learn. MIDI has been around a long time and is still the standard format for keyboard musicians. MIDI is pretty flexible and powerful though it's a little more advanced than some of the more specialized looping apps.

[Eazy_b97 1]

if you dont mind me asking what is techno

Dance music, generally with a more intense beat and less vocals.

Go to www.epitonic.com and download for free to your heart's content. They give a good description of what the music styles sound like, what the different genres are compared/contrasted to, etc.

They have tons of trance, dub, downtempo, house, lo-fi, ambient, techno, breakbeat etc to choose from. Free and legal.

Kirsch, some bands can play it live, but it's usually one or two guys/gals with a MIDI set-up, sequenced loops and sounds added at the touch of a keyboard or click of a mouse. It will go on infinitely in it's loop, until altered by the DJ. There is some specific DJ software that let's you do a bunch of manipulation to create the music.
