[Party (Rave) On] I need music

WhatToThink

So one of my friends is having a birthday and we decided to make it a more or less rave type of party. I have some music already but when dealing with music there is never enough, so i need some recommendations. What im looking for is, of course techno (stuff like the horrorist mostly), good club music like cascada or basshunter, and anything with a good electronic beat like the medic droid, rediscover, hit the lights, action action, or anything within that category. I know thats kind of broad but thanks for the help!

First I'd like to point you to a website called: www.di.fm I use that site for my techno needs. If you use winamp it will tell you the name of the artist and the song and then you can use that to search for them online.

Warp Brothers - Blade Theme is a common rave song.

Also, really anything by Paul Oakenfold.

There are thousands of valid responses to this post, so I'll just throw in some of my favorites:

Paul Van Dyk - Not quite as dance oriented, but quality beats none the less.

For the (extreme) catchy dance stuff look up Scooter and sample a couple of his tracks. This is bordering on some happy hardcore stuff (not that there's anything wrong with that, I love the stuff), but you brought up Cascada, so yeah...

Finally Benassi is always good for the rave atmosphere. Satisfaction will no doubt be familiar to most of your guests already, but he has other quality material.

You're only allowed that response if you ALSO help out the OP with what he is wanting. Don't be a douche. :P

Angel Beats - You Make My Dreams But this song is vocal, and I'm not sure how you feel about that.

The following was the best thing about my trip to Amsterdam in 2001:

Faithless is both good and generally has a pretty good mass appeal. Some of their tracks are staple electronic tracks that you already know from jingles/movies/etc.. (Insomnia in particular).

edit.. Underworld is also pretty awesome though again fairly mainstream and stuff you've likely heard in backgrounds before. Don't know how obscure you want to go. Global Underground: Deep Dish - Moscow is pretty good if you want less recognizable tracks.

Agreed. My favorite from them is Drifting Away.

Meh, too much clubby stuff here. Bring on some EBM!

I second the recommendations for BT and Pendulum.

The best trance DJ mix ever is Sasha & Digweed's Northern Exposure 2. This is not opinion, this is scientific fact.

Also, anything by Antiform, Klute, Phesta, Future Prophecies, and Hybrid.

Moobly

I"m a huge fan of Infected Mushroom. The non-video versions are a might longer and filled with great mixes and are a bit fuller with beats.

It's not really classic euro trash

It's more like if you threw dancehall, some african pop, and brazilian baile funk together and added some daft punkness.

Well, there's a lot of good music in this thread, but not a lot of stuff you'd actually hear at a rave.

My god, I never thought posting techno would make me feel old, but it does.

Anyway, posting Faithless without throwing in Insomnia? For shame, for shame!

OK you had me at horrorist, but then I was like "wait, who are these other guys, am I that old?"

So I checked them out

Please

For me

Never, ever, ever, ever, ever, I mean ever, associate cascada or basshunter with the phrase "good club music" and medic droid, rediscover, hit the lights, action action, call them techno pop or something, but never associate that with rave music or a party you even remotely call a rave

Else this raver geriatric is going to have to kill himself with a hammer

Cascada and Basshunter is spiky hair, gold chain crowd stuff.

These guys.



You want better than that.

If we're going to go modern, Deadmau5, Kaskade (see, that's mainstream, and yet, still doesn't suck!)

Pendulum is good but so overrated and everyone seems to drown out the rest of the Drum and Bass scene with his name

That, that is terrible

Anyway I don't even know if I'm being useful, so I'll direct you toward the mother of all Electronic Dance Music websites

Ishkur's guide to electronic music

Pick a genre, pick a subgenre, listen to some examples

Good way to get a feel for the field

Did you get confused, or post a bunch of early 90s rap for another reason?

Anyway, Zombie Nation, fuck yes. Get the Sports Chant remix if you can, thats the one you always hear in the club.

Zombie Nation!!

He did say "party" in the title as well, Zeon.
