EDM (Electronic Dance Music) Thread

[Wobbuffetking]

I made this thread to bring together people that enjoy, and love, EDM. This is for anyone who likes any type of EDM including Trance, House, Techno, Drum N' Bass, Breaks, ect. Let's try to make this into a discussion.

Lately I've been listening to a lot of trance that I would call "Halloween Trance" because it seems a lot harder and darker than most other trance. Artists like Dogzilla, Sander Van Doorn, and Mark Norman are example of artists that make music similar to this.

1. 666 Hell Mix
2. Blood Rave(from Blade)
3. Crazy Train
4. Dance Club 2001
5. Dance Mix 2005
6. Halloween Trance
7. Hex Dez Club Mix
8. I Close My Eyes
9. Knight Rider(techno remix)
10. Ocean Trance
11. Skyline Mix
12. Trance Energy 2003
13. Children 2000

15. Vampire's Revenge(from Blade)
16. Trance Delerium
17. The Secret Arena
18. Huge MegaMix(hour and a half, including remixes done by various artists)
19. Breathe


By far my favorite are the ones from Blade, Atomic Rave, and The Secret Arena,

Dieselboy
Metalheadz
Photek

If anyone is looking for fast hard hitting intense beats then look no further and delve into my list above.

Since I don't really know whats good with D&B I checked out some of the artists that you have listed. It's all pretty good stuff. I especially like Dieselboy and Photek simply because I couldn't really find any music from the other artists. :|

There really isn't too much techno on DDR. There seems to be a lot more eurodance/eurobeat than actual Techno though. But there is some trance like "Drifting Away" and "Ghosts".

Some artists that I reccommend:

Mylo
Sander Van Doorn
Dogzilla
Andy Moor
Leama & Moor
Chicane
BT
Ferry Corsten
Dylan Rhymes
Phynn
Matthew Dekay

I don't listen to very much EMD of any type really, even though whenever I hear it, I like most of it, but I can say that I've heard plenty of Diesel Boy andthat was an amazing group, shame they're no longer together.

Haven't we already had this "discussion" a handful of times only to have it be ignored by the large majority of the forum? >_>
I think if people are actually that interested in our overlooked genre they oughta just dig up the old thread(s) we've had on this and read them.

But in hopes that maybe, just maybe, we can spark some interest here's a newbie mix (my very first time mixing) I just spun that you guys can download. The file isn't too big (about 48 mb) and transfer is relatively fast, but will only be up for about 7 days.

Damn Skillz, you spun that yourself? It's really good stuff, few of the more obvious bits I could recognize as I listened (heh, smack my bitch up).

Really good length too, got a list of some of the beats you used for it?

[Silverskater145]

Damn, Raven's right, great mix. I finally got off my ass and downloaded it. I love the beginning.

Now, when are you going to get off your ass and post your second mix you were telling me about?

[Skillzpay]

haha thanks, I had a handful of trainwrecks. All those house tracks were hard to spin out of and into

Skillzpay - Skillz' Newbie Mix (07-10-05) Tracklist
1. Andain - Beautiful Things (Markus Schulz Shadows Of Coldharbour Remix)
2. Hidden Logic presents Luminary - Wasting (Andy Moor Remix)
3. Paul van Dyk - The Other Side Feat. Wayne Jackson (Marc Spoon vs. Mobilegazer Sunrise Mix)
4. Deep Dish vs. Dire Straits - Flashing For Money (Sultan Remix)
5. Planet Funk - Stop Me (King Unique Remix)
6. Yes vs. Prodigy - Owner Of A Lonely Bitch (Max Graham Bootleg)

I guess I'll upload the second mix later tonight. It's much trancier doesn't have as much recent stuff but on the plus side only like 1-2 wrecks...all the other transitions sound pretty darn good.

[Wobbuffetking]

Yeah it was pretty damn good for a first mix. I noticed a lot of my fave tunes in it. I think house is a little bit tough to spin though.

I'm planning on mixing something up soon. Considering that my father is a DJ after all, it lets me have access to his equiptment.
