Re: So what's with all the electro?

that may be true.. but if you have ever heard a true electro set.. you would see what we mean

check this link http://www.musicv2.com/artist/androidequation
and have a listen.. there are some electro mixes on there

if we could actually see this fabled 'electro,' I'm convinced it would look as annoying and gay as this:

Re: So what's with all the electro?

i like it to be honest.. but it is definitely a lot different than what some people seem to think it is. and i have to be in the mood for it, just like jungle and d&b

Re: So what's with all the electro?

I couldn't get myself into the mood for electro... it "feels" very disconnected, you'd have to be really fucked to be able to get into it.... there's nothing like the chugging of a nice bassline to get you into the mood no matter what mood you're in..... almost naturally makes me smile

Re: So what's with all the electro?

the purists wouldn't even call what you're talking about electro.

what he's talking about is actually referred to as "shite"

Re: So what's with all the electro?

Before you go throwing the term 'electro' around, why don't you do your research to find out what 'electro' really is. Then come back and we'll have a discussion. Although, I don't think there will be anything to discuss anymore.

ska and unome are 100% right. sooooo many people on this board call everything non prog electro. stop it. you make yourselves look quite ignorant. do some research like he said, i don't have the energry to explain the differences for the 5th time.

why has it taken off? because people like fancuilli, jz, eric prydz, sebastion and ignosso have all jumped to the forefront, and have become very trend setting at the moment. deep dish and digweed started dabbling in it at the end of 2004, and lawler incorportated his own version and has been using that for awhile. everything in this scene comes from ibiza, if it works there, you will see/hear it everywhere else. all these dj's play the "electro" sound, but very few if any play the same records. it's not that way with prog, the top prog jocks play a lot of the same records, thats not news to anyone.

the reason why i got into was it's something new, something different. i got so flippen tired of prog and stangant state it's in, i needed something fresh. minimal tech and "electro" feature a lot of innovative artists doing a lot of cool stuff. a lot of it lending itself quite nicely to big rooms. i also (like any techno head should) love the acid lines. but too much acid can be a bad thing, a lot of these tracks feature acid lines, but use them properly and not excessively. thats what i like.

it took me a little while to get into it, but now - imho, the best producers are on this trip at the moment. it also has a very wide range of sounds, unlike many sub generes where most tracks sound very similar. i've also noticed since i started getting into this sound, i've become a lot more open to more obscure genres and my taste has expanded quite a bit. that makes me happy.

If you all want to really know what electo is, go listen some Aux 88 and then come back to this post.

Re: So what's with all the electro?

8 billion other topics on the same subject. Before you go throwing the term 'electro' around, why don't you do your research to find out what 'electro' really is. Then come back and we'll have a discussion. Although, I don't think there will be anything to discuss anymore.

Gee, sorry you think I don't know what I'm talking about. The fact is that I'm talking about what's termed electro in this day and age. I used to listen to what was termed electro back in the days of Twilight 22, Afrika Bambaata (although he's still around), Cloud One, The Beat Club (now without searching on the internet, can you guess what was their big track and on what label it was released?)...and yes, I'm old enough to remember when TransEurope Express was released...believe it or not, that was also thought as electro before the massive explosion of all the differing edm genres...but I guess I still don't know what I'm talking about...maybe you should school me...

Sorry for the attitude, but I just get annoyed by people who think they know it all...

..refer to 2 posts above...I think I have a handle on it...but thanks anyway...I apologize for wasting your time by starting a whole new thread and giving my personal insight...and instead of complaining that you don't have the energy to explain the differences again, just don't post anything....I'm about 3 years older than you so I'm sure we grew up listening to some of the same music...so before you start calling someone else ignorant for posting their feelings about something, maybe you should try to carry on an insightful and informative dialogue..now I remember why I stopped posting stuff here...because of shite talkers such as yourself...who's ignorant now? Done...

Re: So what's with all the electro?

if you noticed i was refferring to many people on this board, not just yourself. in fact, nothing in my posts were directed at you what so ever. it was towards the many people on this board who call everything non prog electro. when i am talking directly to you, you will have no doubts.
