i guess it doesnt matter bc im seriously enjoying some bloody beetroots, rusko, king cannibal, and a few others while in the gym and on the interwebz, but i thought id ask here since this is where i discovered this music.

Netphase

Go to DI.FM and listen to each.

Digitally Imported - addictive electronic music

papajohn56

dubstep just got popular with college aged hipsters for some reason

House - to me this is more danc-y than trance. It's usually a bit harder and more pumping.
Trace - more melodic than house, has very long progressions and build ups. Songs are usually very long and spacy.
Dubstep - completely different from the two above. Uses heavy basslines, the rhythm is kick snare kick snare, rather than kick kick kick kick like in house/trance. This is a relatively new genre and is still heavily evolving.

Google: Ishkur Guide to Electronic Music. It doesn't have dubstep I think as the guide is old, but it has a shit load of other genres that you might have missed

For good dubstep check out Dubstep.fm - Dubstep Radio - The World Is Listening radio

.Hack

YOU HAVE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE! I LISTEN TO TRANCE AND HOUSE 24/7.
Dubstep fucking sucks in my opinion, it's a genre like papajohns said that hipsters have made popular since it was so shitty. Drum n Bass is way better than dubstep.
I listen to alot of old house though like 70s-2000 and new of course.

IMO Disco is what started the house genre then it was evolved into house in the early 80s. I like trance alot too, my alltime favorite is Paul Oakenfold.

Netphase is on the right track. If you really want to get a feel for it download itunes then go to Radio>Electronica then pick your station. My favorite station is Dogglounge or Dogghouse I forgot at the moment but it starts with Dogg.

I don't get tired of trance or house. DnB gets kind of repetitive after like 20-30 minutes and dubstep is just god damn annoying. I listen to alot of rave and techno too. I don't like industrial at all and some happycore ain't that bad either.

I listen to a fuckton of electronic music period rofl

It was just a joke pal, but there is still some truth to it. "Armin Only" concert was on NYE here in Melbourne... reading through some forums this seemed to be the general consensus:

First post I found that I could reply with this:

The bass line is pretty much what the difference in electronic music is for the most part. I'm not sure whats with all the hate on dubstep. The reason its getting more popular in the electronic genre is they are actually making dubstep music (mostly in the UK) that you can listen to when you are not on ketamine or other rave drugs. It is more like club/dance/mainstream dubstep i guess.


As Bofu said...

twmaffun

Trance is fast but dubstep is slow.
I can not stand dubstep but like trance.

dm1247

f*ck that, that is the worst answer to that question. the music has nothing to do with who the people that listen to it are. you are retarded if you actually think that. Dubstep has distorted bass synth with a lot of random heavy sounds going on. house is repetitive pop with mediocre hooks for guido fist pumpers.

Just different degrees of faggotry with trance and house fighting hard for first place.

Most people don't even know what dubstep is, they think Skrillex and Excision are dubstep.

Dubstep goes way back, and is basically just Reggae with electronic / synth sounds.

To be honest, i prefer newer dubstep to older stuff, mainly because i've played the Synth for almost 20 years and i can relate to a lot of the sounds. I also like Trance, House, and pretty much any other genre of music if it sounds good to me, i listen to it.

Theres no point arguing 'which is better' though, as music is simply a case of personal taste, nothing more. It's like arguiing that blue is a better colour than red....

@op:

it's a bit difficult to explain without oversimplifying, but a simplistic explanation is better than no explanation at all. this assumes you know basic music theory and know how to count a 4/4

club techno: four on the floor beat, no off-beat fill-ins. basically, a kick every time you count a 4/4. about 120-140 bpm in current use. i find it boring and primitive.
trance: club techno + spacy sounding shit, even worse than the above. can't stand it, so no elaborate explanation
house: four on the floor with off-beat fill-ins. tons of sub-genres for every taste, from disco and vocal house to deep house and minimal house. typically 100 bpm to 140 bmp (tech-house being on the top end of the range, old school stuff toward the bottom end). my personal favourite when clubbing, although the stuff currently getting played in the us is shit. you can't get what house is about unless you've experienced it live, with the right dj playing the right set on a great sound system with the right people next to you and right in front of the speakers, it's the musical equivalent of mainlining serotonin
dubstep: dont even want to talk about it
spiral/acid/hc tekno: 200bpm+, basically electronic music's answer to serious classical music. must be experienced, serious acid dropping required initially for full understanding of its awesomeness - an unaltered human mind is incapable of processing it properly. once you grok it, you can go straightedge if you like. best experienced at an illegal party i catacombs/abandoned nuclear silos/abandoned factories or military bases etc. complete darkness, one strobe light and 10kw+ of sound from a sound system that shakes the ground a mile away. not for the weak of heart as you might have to fight the riot police, especially towards the end of a big festival

Gotta disagree with you on this.

I think Disco has nothing to do with house, electronica, or any of the similar genres of music you hear today.

Disco was created by talented musicians and features real music, not music generated from a computer. Songs had soul. The music CAME from somewhere deep down. And even though they all had a disco beat you could dance to, songs also had their own structure unlike all this stuff today which basically sounds the same as the last song you heard and is created by anyone with a Mac and the needed software.

I honestly don't know how anyone can listen to the club music of today as I have no respect for the people who create the music, nor can I relate to it on any level.

you talk about faggotry as if it's a bad thing people who call an inadequately enjoyable party 'gay' have clearly never been to an actual gay party. all this american homophobia is quite silly imo. i say this as a straight guy who thinks queers are a lot of fun, throw amazing parties and play good house

-p

paulieg

i'm sorry, but you cant give me a super-long breakdown with 0 payoff ala dubstep and expect me to enjoy it. yes, there's room for variation in taste, but there's a difference between using a different sauce for steak (different people like different sauces) and showing someone a picture of a streak and then saying 'fuck off, you aint getting one'

-p

paulieg

from a historical perspective, disco had a massive influence on house, both musically and in terms of production techniques. there were quite a few disco tracks with electronic components and even some all-electronic ones including a few hits. disco producers certainly didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

secondly, you most certainly couldn't have heard good classic disco house or you wouldn't hold the opinion you do. a lot of it uses no artificial sounds, there are plenty of original vocals *and* sampling the classics and they're certainly not monotonous or without structure. above all, they *do* touch your soul in the same way disco did and, depending on the person, often even more.

-p

paulieg

ergo house is the official music genre of wickedfire?

-p

greyaisha

someone say gay disco? love that shit.

paulieg

i'd say the first one is too slow for me to consider it house, i'd call it chillout personally. second one is borderline. i would deffo enjoy hearing both in a chillout room though

-p

Dark Cognitive

No one can tell if they like steak or not unless they try it.

I suggest you try it - and make up your own mind whether you like it, instead of asking people what it tastes like. There can be no 'payoff' in a thread that dicusses something which is purely based on personal taste, and if you want me to describe to you what dubstep is, here's a handy tool you might want to use:

I listen to both kinds of music, tech house AND deep house.

paulieg

i know full well what dubstep is, ive tried to listen to it and like it, but the 0-payoff breakdowns are just ridiculous. that's not a matter of taste, it's a matter of violating the basic fundamentals of what makes dance music work

-p

danke

It's the only modern genre that actually sounds more boring than the sound of someone describing it...

I meant to post this video this morning:


Bassnectar breaks down electronic music genres in like three minutes, its pretty cool

paulieg

he's right overall, but he's missing the off-beat fillins which are required for house. it's what distinguishes it rhythmically from club techno

-p

qualo

can't stand trance

house is generally shit, but there is some great stuff, often with vocals (louie vega - elements of life is my fave song). the good stuff is definitely a direct descendant from disco (check out the dj rahaan vid on youtube).

not into techno- its really boring most of the time. i only like it when the producers make housier tunes (like rolando- jaguar or UR - transition).

no idea what dubstep is.

momchil9

why all the hate to dubstep?

I listen to a lot of house genres and some dubstep. Though I hear a lot of soft dubstep recently and I really don't like it... rusko, UKF and some others that's what is dubstep. Although I agree you should have affinity to a certain type of drugs to enjoy it.

Some quality house music is emerging in recent years too. I don't like trance at all though. Too softy for me. DnB is cool as is jungle.

I enjoy gabba from time to time for about 5 minutes but everyone listening to this more than 20 minutes is plain nutjob for me.

dubstep ftw!!!
