The Simtropolis Electronica Club

[Psycho_Teddy 25]

Hey guys!  Just thought I'd pop in here with an idea.  I've noticed a lot of people here who like electronica and it's subgenres but have trouble finding the music.  I have the same problem too as I live in Ohio.  Use this thread as a discussion for all things electronica.  Share songs you like, artist info, etc.  A couple rules will apply here, however:

1.) NO YOUTUBE VIDEOS.  The only exception are those that come directly from the artist or record label.  As tempting as it is, the songs uploaded by other users are done so in violation of Youtube's and ST's rules and won't be tolerated here.  Also, no linking to other illegal sources of music.  I'm sure the mods will watch this thread closely and be editing posts as necessary to avoid this problem [thanks guys ]

2.) No obscene content.  Some electronica can have some... Erm... "Suggestive themes" and I'd like to leave those out of here as well, considering that this is a PG-13 site.  This also goes along with ST's rules regarding obscenity. 

3.) Absolutely no discussion of where to torrent/warez the material is acceptable.  Again, straight from the Dirktator's mouth.  Only provide people with links to LEGAL download sites (Amazon, iTunes, etc).

Now, as to what "Electronica" is...  Electronica, as I use it, is a term to encompass all forms and subgenres of electronic music.  That being:

Techno

Trance

Drum 'n' Bass

Liquid Drum and Bass

Dubstep

Hardstyle

Jumpstyle >.<

Dance

Electro House

House

Remixes of popular songs

Happy Hardcore

Many others...

This list is not intended to limit the scope of the topic, but just to give you guys an idea of what to expect here.  If you find some other genre that you wish to discuss, you are not only allowed, but ENCOURAGED to share!   Enjoy guys!

I guess I'll start with the first question:  What's your song of the week?

Me: Neelix - Disco Decay (Felguk Remix)

I don't have a song of the week, so I'll go to my default electronica song:

BT - "Never Gonna Come Back Down"

'Movement In Still Life' is the only c.d. I have by this guy.  Wish I had his 'Binary Universe' album.

If I remember correctly, that was in Gone in 60 Seconds, no?

Never really was all that interested into electronic music until recently. Bands like Animal Collective, The Flaming Lips, MGMT all have gotten me to reconsider the whole genre.

Although going to a rave and dancing under the influence of mdma is one of the best experiences one can ever have. I spent last weekend dancing all night to dubstep and psytrance - its such an indescribable feeling.

Suggest you edit topic to read "The Simtropolis Electronic Media Club".  Electronica doesn't mean that to me but seems to to you.

I agree with N_O_Body, change the name of the thread. I am not into Electronic Media. Heck I thought this thread was about Electronic devices. Maybe I am just to old. [you sure are buddy LOL]
