i'm on an electronic kick (recommend on!)

TheGreat2nd

i recently discovered "pogo" through his new Up remix
i am really digging it, it's upbeat and electronic-ish

do you guys have any recommendations for some music that sounds similar?
maybe electronic bands? i don't really know how to classify it.
it's pretty upbeat, kinda reminds me of fatboy slim a little (who i also like)

Autechre- LP 5

make the effort, or at least limit yourself at first to the tracks on the album called "corc" "rae" and "arch carrier"

EDIT: I just realized that this music sounds nothing like the one you posted, but it is the Electronic genre, and that's the God's honest. I actually think that the vid you posted isn't in this category!

Metal Gear Solid 2 Demo

wooo electronic, these are pretty 'upbeat' but just good electronic in general

Savant

When I heard that song in the OP the first thing that came to mind that sounded somewhat similar that I've heard is a few things off of Cornelius's Point (who I didn't realize was Japanese until I looked it up just now).

Here's his rendition of Brazil, though it is more laid back than the one in your post:

these are all really good bands
i'm checking them out more on youtube, got some good music!
sweetness.

Rubix42

I have no access to youtube at work, but search for Noisia Machine Gun.

Listen and be amazed! You'll know it's the right one when the video is a squirell holding a machine gun the entire time while the music plays. Said squirrell does not move and the image does not change at all.

www.subatomicglue.com is both free and completely amazing. Turn it way, way up.

Solvent is my current favourite, though. This is a pretty good song and it's actually one of the most mediocre on the album.

Black Turtleneck is an all too clever side project related to Solvent. One album, Musical Chairs, if you ever see it in a used bin buy it without hesitation. I promise you it is worth it for the lyrics alone.


Kraftwerk obviously invented electronic music. The Man-Machine and Computer World are their best. Trans-Europe Express is decent too.


Aphex Twin can be amazing or boring. I think Drukqs is on the amazing side. This is a track from it:

If you like electro-pop at all, obviously The Human League invented it and Dare was their best album but Ladytron made it sound good. For their first two albums. Everything after that is a waste of your time, but the best stuff is:

What of all that makes you happiest to hear?

Also mad props for the Autechre mention. LP5 is in fact probably their best, but their first is often more accessible, it's called Incunabula.

TheGreat2nd

not really diggin the ladytron.
autechre is bangin.
solvent is sick!

from the previous posts:
nadastrom, thumbs up.
gramaphonedzie, thumbs up.
danger reminds me of daft punk, which is a very good thing.

the rest are good on their own merits, but im not a fan of heavy vocals or lyrics too much.
not with this kind of music anyway.


very nice suggestions

The video in the OP really put me in mind of Lemon Jelly. Here's a couple of nice upbeat tracks to start with:
