Techno!

[Homicidalheathen]

Ok so there are all these different varieties. (I sound old here, put up with me ok?) And I figured out what my favoret is! Its called hard core Gabber. Yup that is the sound I like.

Anyone want to elaborate......? Maybe there are some styles I have not heard of but I like my stuff DARK sounding.

I like "Armchair" Techno myself

[HipsterDufus]

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but isn't dark techno basically just EBM? Examples: Assemblage 23, VNV Nation, Project Pitchfork, Icon of Coil, etc.

EBM is techno with lyrics, usually a bit darker.... I believe EBM is a sub genre of Techno

Ah ha. Gotcha. I don't generally tend to listen to too much actual techno... I do like some IDM, like Amon Tobin and Kid 606

I think techno is sort of a catch all for electronic dance, kinda like "rock" vs. "metal" but that is just my mental way of looking at it....

[pharoh]

Try listening to Tecno Polka (TP).....it's the best shit you can ever get

Phee is correct on this one....

(not that I have 300+ techno cds and 800+ hours of live DJ music or anything)

I like techno it's good workout music. I like it hard hitting with a lot of bass, and being dark of course.

[Blackmail]

carl craig, derrick may, juan atkins/model 500/cybotron, hardfloor, bochum welt, elektric music, orbital, emmanual top, underworld, joey beltran, advent, kenny larkin, undergorund resistance/mad mike banks, photek, goldie, arman van helden, paul van dyk (awesome!), paul oakenfold, ascension, derrick carter, FSOL, roni size, george acosta....

I like those.....

[MarsDustDoug]

there is a style of electronic that is classified as techno. But the word techno has become what most people call the majority of electronic music.

Kevin Saunderson, Stacey Pullen, alot fo Juan Atkins, Autechre, Ritchie Hawtin... those are techno dj's/producers.

Personally I love Gabber as well. I threw a hardcore party Detroit back in 2001 and brought in a personnal fav, Dan Doormouse.

Im also a huge Goa/psy fan. The stuff is just damn good and the more tripped out it sounds the better.

I cant get enough trip-hop... but thats an old thread and wont go on about it again.

I think alot of people here on the board would really dig a style of ambeint called Illbient or some dark ambient. Illbient is just that... really sick sounding ambient. The sounds used to create the music (think ambient) are just completely dissonant accompanied by some pretty dark/creepy samples. DJ Spooky coined the term but my favs would be Horchata and lolpix though they both sorta obscure the lines between illbient and dark ambient

[Homicidalheathen]

Thanks all. I have some online listening to do!

Wow, I have a good portion of the music on that site (given as examples) if i could only get back the 300 CDs that my ex "stole".... I think I might have 75% of the music on that site.

ok... spending too much time checking out all the songs :-( many of them are awesome! even if they are in a genera I dont like.... (or in a genre i love... that is getting ripped on by the site oh well)

Anyway, If anyone from DGN really likes this music, I would be happy to trade with them/share some of mine.

also, I do tend to find out about good concerts/shows <smile>

[Homicidalheathen]

I love it. Share with us please yes.

[MarsDustDoug]

I have a large selection of goa/psy and most forms of hardcore onthis ol hard drive if anyone is interested in sme as well.

[Homicidalheathen]

Me, I am!

[ZhukovCodeslinger]

We deffinately should figure out a way to do the transfers (I cant do it from work because I dont have a burner here... and have a shared network harddrive

I see a big difference between EBM and Techno.

To me, the difference is song structure. EBM, and other non-techno dance music, has a genuine verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-chorus format.

Techno seems to be very repetitive.

But that's just the techno I'm exposed to. I get bored by it easily.

according to the experts in the link, EBM is a form of Techno (as is Industrial and most Goth as well)

Techno refers to all music that uses primairily analog or electronic equipment to generate sounds. I would say that it has to be a high percenatage like 50% or more of the sound has to be generated rather than played.

ok after saying that, EBM is very very different from many of the examples of techno given in that link... yet they are all related somehow though the web.
