Recommend me some clubbin' music!

Dangerous · April 2011

Ok, so I am looking for some new music. I was wondering if you guys could recommend me something, but the problem is I'm really not sure what I'm looking for. I really like stuff like Deadmau5, MSTRKRFT, and a little Daft Punk.

I'm not sure what exactly this falls under, is it techno, house, electronica, dance? I have no idea what these distinctions even mean, so I sort of just label it "clubbin' music". Anything that sounds sort of techno-y but with a hard edge. The most important thing is a good beat. Lots of bass so I can shake the house when I turn it up.

Sorry if this sounds pretty vague, here are some examples to help!

A friend of my runs a casual blog where he posts electro and electropop music from youtube, you should check it out: http://electroawareness.blogspot.com//

Definitely helped in absorbing specific artists.

For example:

And my personal favorite, which I love to blast in my car on nights out

I listen to a lot of E Nomine when I'm looking for a techno/electronica fix.

Awesome suggestions, thanks guys! I bookmarked that blog, and am searching Justice and General Midi on itunes now :P

I recently went on a chip-tune stint (due in no small part to PA TV musicians, and the Reformat the Planet episodes) the episodes are here.

Here's a fantastic example by Bit Shifter:

Hexadecimal Genome

I love this style of music because it is thumpity, extremely catchy, and tickles my soft spot for the consoles I grew up with.

Also came across Infected Mushroom by recommendation from a PAA guild mate:

Dancing With Kadafi

Muse Among Men · April 2011

Ahahaha, I was gonna suggest Corset Theme :9

Try Boys Noize

Beck · April 2011

yeah justice woo

Simian Mobile Disco: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71Z8MYc5rFI

If you want to move away from the more electronic side and into dance, LCD Soundsystem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2V_ZT-nyOs
and Emeralds
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUPJofuMNtE

are really hot. It's good to have those hard, thumping tracks. But if you don't have anything to temper them with your mixtapes are going to suck.

Dangerous · April 2011

Holy wow, Wolfgang Gartner rocks my world! Also, good call Beck. I'm adding a few of these more mellow tracks to my playlist to help balance things out.

Donovan Puppyfucker · April 2011

The.

And they may not count totally -- maybe they're lacking that edge (at least on youtube videos) -- but give Holy Fuck a shot. They're an electronic band that plays with a live drum and bass to go along with their keyboards and other gizmos. Cool stuff.

Whacktose · April 2011

I was listening to this mix on repeat for a while last month. Very euro-house heavy (think sirens).

If you dig minimal house Isolée is a good bet:

Isolée - Taktell
