yess head of david were nice too

Loved the first 2 godflesh albums. after that... didnt really do it for me as much. early swans were cool. they fell off hard.

each instrument you learn to play will teach you certain approaches to groove and melody. this includes each type of drum you learn how to play. and the size of your keyboard will effect your playing too. and if you use an arpegiator. and the touch sensativity of your interface. a piano player will ...

"the 2 MAIN instruments that you SHOULD know how to play to make VERY GOOD electornic dance music are the drums, and the piano."

Im sure all MIDI drummer/piano players would agree with you.

whats with all the advertisements? Is there an admin on this board anymore?

Northern soul are "The Mods" - like the Who or the Beatles. Basically brits that were into american soul music, amphetamines, vespas, italian suits, and dancing. THey would catch American RnB reviews when theyd tour europe and pick up american soul dancing fom Jackie wilson and etc. After ...

dont believe the hype

search "eletrofying mojo" and "the wizard" (aka techno god jeff mills) for detroit wjlb djs that did some sick electro funk mixes during the 80s.

just google it - or pull up some mixes on youtube. gasolina is the archetype but it has roots in electro too. there's a wide range of beats if you really get into it. it also has nice spanish melodic complexity in its chording. and acidy textures. Its been morphing into raverton among other directio...

also if youre into geto tech mambo urbano tempo beats but need more musicality I highly recommend that accoustic bachata album that came out last year (?). if anyone can recommed some accoustic soca, please drop a hint

I recommend Boogalu music. Its like salsa with a backbeat. from the 60s. the dance is a mix of salsa and 60s soul dancing. its still popular for caleno salsa. the colombians play the music sped up (33s on 45) and do fast footwork to it similar to jit and juke. the roots of juke may be with a 60s sou...

melivilles confidence man is good but kinda pomo - hard to follow like diderot's jacque the fatalist, erasmus's conversations, sterne and etc. whos that one brit satirist who wrote the tailor tailored? like stern if he was into german romantic poetry? for a mix of harry potter fantasy and literature...

true. im a twat. like you. but I can jit and juke. & I appreciate the differance.

If youre producing footworkin tracks, be sure to learn the dance first or you could get the accents wrong. footworking grooves and accents are way dif than getotech or house. but you already know this... FYI: juke is slang for dance. so there are juke style from all around the USA. Memphis Juke is l...

do you like persian percussion? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hV8o8YD9doQ

or venezuelan drumming http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qy1F7qhHLnA

there are hella drum styles around the world. you can find tracks of just master drummers i you look for them. the library has tons of that type of shit.

Ive only heard Burials first album and pre-release mixes of his second. his use of house vocal samples leaves me cold. but i respect. I dont really get the IDM thing. To me IDM is characterized by flashy intricate drum programming and noisy filtering. people influenced by autechre, aphex and square ...

tuvan throat singing. some chicks have strong mountain voices.

love swans FILTH - thats some spongy reggae. liked the later stuff less and less.

that crooning country western stuff was worse than nick cave and leonard cohens later crud.

my fave gangster funk blues is: wild tchapatoulas.

and whats that beefheart? lick my decals off baby

the early psyche stuff is good tho... is that the one with "elektriiiiicity"
nicest use of that word since woody guthries coolie dam songs.
