I could tell it was autofilter because you used that tempo-synced sawtooth LFO which I discovered too and which I think is just the coolest sounding thing ever. If I ever did a live set, it would just consist of me turning that on and off and changing the speed for an hour. I even named my contribution to "Short Music for People with ADD" after it: http://s95406449.onlinehome.us/music/Autofilter_the_World.mp3

kholdstayr posted:I am interested in getting into electronic music. I know about Ishkur's guide to electronic music but I am still not sure what I should try to listen to. I think though that generally I would like to listen to music that is more melodic. What electronic music should I try out that has a more melodic flow to it, as opposed to just constant looped bass and beats that don't have much of a melody to them? I tend to prefer the more melody- and harmony-driven electronic music (well, more melodic music in general), so maybe I can help. There's a lot of it, believe it or not. So much, in fact, that you're going to have to be a lot more specific. Are you looking for dance music or chill-out music or just pop tunes with electronic instrumentation? New or old? Cheerful or dark? What have you heard so far that you like? A good source for new melodic electronic dance music of various sorts is Annie Mac's radio show on BBC Radio One: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006wqdc All the track lists for her shows are on that page. Check out some of the other shows they have on Friday nights as well, like Pete Tong.

JustWalkedIn posted:I have a question I think many of you could help me with. A friend wants me to DJ a party on the 28th, no problem, but its Bollywood themed and therefore she wants Bollywood techno or anything along those lines. I'm currently googling for it but having no success at the moment. Would any of you be able to kindly point me in the right direction? Thanks Just try to find Indian pop music you like. Most of their pop music does indeed come from movies so look at recent Bollywood soundtracks first, but don't limit yourself to Bollywood (I have a feeling your friend isn't going for 100% authenticity). For example, this song is from a "Kollywood" movie (Tamil film industry) and sounds like something white girls who like Bollywood would dance to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLeST0jrXWU Other keywords to research are Tollywood and bhangra. But I guess your first stop should be Indian music that is popular outside India, so pick up the Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack and that Panjabi MC song that samples Knightrider. People will probably be expecting you to play Jai Ho and Panjabi MC twice each so those are the aces up your sleeve. As for less-known stuff, I don't know where you can actually acquire the music but there is probably some English-language online resource you can use. Edit: Oh wait I meant to say DID SOMEONE SAY INDIAN TECHNO??? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUqnPYwoiF4 Hammsturabi fucked around with this message at 05:51 on Dec 23, 2010 |

Pleads posted:My jerkass friend introduced me to Chromeo, are there any other bands that sound like them? Because I am hooked. Here is a list of music that sounds like Chromeo: - every funk record from the 80s Seriously, Chromeo is pretty much an 80's disco-funk tribute band. Especially on their second album. On their first, they couldn't decide whether they wanted to be a disco-funk band or make quirky electronic music, but on their second they pretty much decided "OK let's just be Zapp but without the slow songs." Well fortunately for them, Zapp without the slow songs happens to be my favourite kind of music. I haven't heard their third album yet but I imagine it's in the same vein. There is a ton of material out there, both in the mainstream and underground, that will remind you of them.

He used to make old-school style drum-n-bass / jungle for over a decade, but he hasn't released anything in a few years. Now he starts making music again all of a sudden and it's completely different? Photek has had a love affair with house music for a long time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykALcAUWM-E (Mine to Give, feat.

RoboTiio posted:Sup, House thread. It's pretty creative and the vocal samples are catchy, but it's not booty-bumpin' and does not have enough energy for many people to want to add it into their DJ sets (like you ask on Soundcloud) unless they are DJing some place that calls for calm, trippy music. I also don't see what it has to do with house. But after listening to some of your other stuff, it seems you have a knack for making creepy down-tempo music, good work. If you're interested in making dance music as well, keep practicing (I mean that in an encouraging way).

ephex posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dh8dY1KpLOs Hands up who else recognizes this from Ishkur's Guide to Electronic Music Anyway this is awesome. Hadn't heard the whole song before. It's pretty funny now that I have. This style of music is huge in Brazil and is simply called 'funk' there (elsewhere you can call it Rio funk or funk carioca to distinguish it from, you know, real funk). There's tons of it. This is one of the sillier, more lighthearted tracks. For something similar you might check out the group Bonde do Role.

brothamo posted:This track goes but could you even classify it as Moombahton? Just doesn't really sound like the other stuff I've heard with way more reggeton in them. This is pretty cool because it has the same beat and sound palette as every other moombahton track, yet a totally different, melancholic vibe due to the R&B sample. I think this particular track is too schizophrenic to work (should I dance or cry?) but I think they're onto something. I could see some pretty cool music being made like this if one used the right sample or chord progression. N.B. This is pretty much a moombahton remix of "Song Cry" by Jay-Z. I didn't want to dance to it then and I don't want to dance to it now.

The Fresh Prince posted:'Zimmerman routinely refuses to contribute to pop records, and he dismisses most dance music as formulaic – "Just 120 bpm with a loving kick drum on every quarter note" – but he's been trying to get Dave Grohl to remix one of his own songs. "Because gently caress dance music, you know?" ' "Please, Dave Grohl, remix my music. Make it less repetitive. Only you can help me escape my four-on-the-floor prison. I hate dance music!"  It's interesting how deadmau5's criticism of live electronic musicians boils down to "if their button pressing is simpler than mine, they suck". I'm pretty sure if your audience can't see or understand what you're doing, it doesn't really matter how many buttons you're pressing. Well, I guess there is the advantage of being able to improvise, but I don't think that separates deadmau5 from the DJs and Skrillexes he shuns quite as much as he thinks it does. I like London Elektricity's old (ca 2005) approach to live electronic music. They made use of modern music technology, but in a "visual" way, as they call it. Their performance controllers, instead of a box of buttons, were a keyboard and a set of drum trigger pads. The pads triggered percussive and "orchestral stab"-style samples (it's mainstream drum'n'bass, so there's a lot of them), and the keys each triggered one segment of a loop, so they could play them back in order or out of order. They also had a drummer, bassist, singer, etc. That's just one band's setup, but what it shows us is that, with MIDI, you can do poo poo like that, so why jam on a box of knobs and sliders when you can be running around hitting things with a drum stick to make your bleeps and bloops? Unfortunately I haven't heard of any similar live acts since, but maybe someone else has. I got the Novation Launchpad when it came out because I saw the promo video and thought "wow, that guy's making live drum'n'bass by pressing buttons really fast and they light up and it looks so cool!" but now I think, if I ever manage to do some gigs, the Launchpad will take a much more utilitarian, background role, while I wail on something that looks like a Rock Band drumset or a keytar or something (hey, it's hard to make this kind of music look sexy. we don't all have mouse costumes). And no way am I doing it alone. I showed the Launchpad video to my friends and they had no idea what was going on, but the music sounded nice. I think that sums up the current state of live EDM PAs.

brasstassels posted:Adam F, famous for his late 90s jungle tracks like Circles, has apparently been trying some new stuff: Adam F! Noooo!  Oh well, I can't blame him for wanting to make a track that contains both uplifting prog-house chords and angry Skrillex noises. It probably pays a lot better than what he used to do. If he can compete against the many other people who make music like that now.He did a show with Nero here on Saturday (I didn't go but I wanted to) and I was really surprised to see Adam F's name on the bill. But now I understand. Has anyone seen him DJ lately? I wonder what his sets are like, whether it's all music like this, or whether there's any jungle or hip-hop thrown in. Well, I guess throwing "Circles" in the middle of a set full of Knife Party is not exactly the mark of a good DJ, so maybe there's my answer.

If you want an answer to the question, "What would Prince do if he had to make classic Chicago house using modern technology?" then listen to Azari & III. Get their album it's great. But don't call them Chicago house to their face they'll get mad. If you like them you might also like Art Department but personally they're too weird for me. Actually just listen to anything coming out of Toronto. Canadian house rebirth 2012 Other than that, just keep listening to Chicago and French house. If that's what you're used to, the current landscape might be a bit disappointing.

The song also sounds just like all the other pop-pseudo-house-neo-mctrance that's popular now. I admit, though, that just like the person with the top comment on Youtube, the "girl in pink shorts is burned into my brain." So kudos to you, boringly titillating music video.

Below is a link to the full lineup. DAM-FUNK! If you like Chromeo, go see Dam-Funk. His music is even more of an 80's funk tribute than Chromeo's is. And then go see deadmau5 right after for extreme racial juxtaposition.
