Does The Knife/Fever Ray count?

 

It says Electronica on my iPod :P

that's what i thought too...tho when i try to look a song's genre up in Wikipedia or those mp3 tagging tools, i get a whole assortment of stuff.

 

e.g. Daft Punk = Euro House, Fatboy Slim = Big Beat .........me = :confused:

There are thousands of subgenres, and often only subtle differences between them if any. And the classifications and relationships change depending on who you ask. Which is why people just say electronica.

 

Wikipedia actually has a pretty good breakdown of some of them: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Electronic_music_genres

for me there are many new names in here!..

 

that means > new music :dance:

 

i like

 

ratatat

apparat

bodi bill

modeselektor

moderat

b.hantoot

royksopp

hot chip

jon hopkins

kruder&dorfmeister

the postal service

paul kalkbrenner

 

does 'air' count ? or 'bent' ? and what about 'shantel' ?? :)

 

edit: modeselektor as the support act for radiohead in berlin back in 2008 was really nice and totally fitted the show :)

if the video doesn't load follow the link in its headline ;-)

This needs a bump!

Great songs / artists mentioned here btw.

 

I've seen "Berlin Calling" recently and since then I just need to listen to the soundtrack from time to time... :heart:

 

I've worked at a minimal party which was once a month for more than a year and although it was so extremely stressful, this movie made me miss the parties actually!

Never thought I'd say I missed them. :lol:

(The music was good but not the people attending the party who made working at the bar hell sometimes).

 

So here's another plug for Paul Kalkbrenner and the amazing soundtrack:

Oh and this one's not so well known I think but I love the typewriter sound. :awesome:

MIIKE SNOW :D

Burial

Hell. Yes.

His music is like, the most incredible thing ever.

 

Have you heard his collaboration with Four Tet? Moth is amazing.

 

umm I also like

Four Tet

Mount Kimbie

Hot Chip

Bonobo

Flying Lotus

HEALTH (if they count)

Royksopp, m83, Deadmau5, Tiesto, Jon Hopkins, Justice, etc etc etc...

this song is so beautiful

and idk if I would consider her electronica but I love m.i.a.'s new album so much.

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbN5B93mpFE]YouTube- Justice - The Party[/ame]

I love M.I.A... I haven't heard her recent album though. It has awesome artwork :wacky:

Yay I'm glad someone else does here. I feel like people here would hate her here. Her new album takes a few listens to really like it people say it's just noise, but it's really good.

LCD Soundsystem FTW!!

Bump.

The Postal Service, Deadmau5, Kraftwerk, Moby, Crystal Castles. Stuff like that.

Some Björk albums can be considered electronic so I guess I'll add her as my fav. I absolutely love the knife/fever ray as well. Massive attack, m83, the postal service, flying lotus, apparat, modeskeletor, aphex tiwn, air, broadcast (not sure if they enter in this category, sexiest voice evah).

And some other stuff like Lykke Li, Phantogram, Lcd soudsystem, goldfrapp or even Thom yorke but they're more like electronic rock. Someone mentioned Portishead but I don't think they're exactly electronic.

this song is so beautiful

This is one of my favourite songs. Like, it could actually be in my top 10 of all time. Definitely my favourite collaboration anyway

My favorite trance/electronic song (great video too):

 

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFoJM2tTFlY]YouTube- Gui Boratto - Beautiful Life[/ame]

I love the way the song seems like it's slowly ending at around 5:10...then explodes again at 6:09.

I love this song and I'm sure if you have been to any sporting event you have heard it

Hi!!

I was in bed at 5am, awake since 10... I'm a zombie!! :freak:

It was a nice night though. :)

Light / visuals were underwhelming and I had a low point in the middle of Paul's set.

I'd have needed a bit more rest before!

Three more days of working until my day off. Ufff.

I don't mind Royksopp, which the OP mentioned. There are a few others I like too.
