Electronic Dance....recommend any good stuff

bazwin

Just wondering if anyone can recommend any new good artists/albums like Unkle , Chemical Brothers, Underworld or Leftfield.....

I can only recommend some trance names, since i'm mostly into Trance. Here's some of the artists/producers/remixers I like:

John O Callaghan
Aly and Fila
C Quence
Airbase
Armin Van Buuren
Marcus Shulz
Marco V
Alex Kidd
Tiesto (Some of it is good)
Ferry Corsten/Gouryella
Paul Van Dyk

There's loads more but I can't think right now.

Oh sorry you said new, misread, disregard my post so... except Aly and Fila, they're pretty new.

Jello

I'd highly recommend the following albums:

Boys Noize - Oi Oi Oi
MSTRKRFT - The Looks
Simian Mobile Disco - Attack Decay Sustain Release
Digitalism - Idealism
Vitalic - OK Cowboy
Justice - †

Also check out Ed Banger Records volumes 1 - 3.

Really good stuff and a bit different too.

I'd be big fan of most of the listed acts from Jello and Tripper and would add www.myspace.com/Hystereo and www.myspace.com/TheJapanesePopstars (both irish). Booka Shade, Etienne de Crecy, any Thin White Duke/Jacques le Cont remixes also.

Good thread btw, exactly what I was looking for...

The G Child

I quite like Robot Needs Oil. I think hes a Polish guy, has a couple of decent tracks, Volta and Defected.

Hope he starts churning out some more tunes soon! Can't argue with Quality but he's a little short on the quantity... Deadmau5 has released an astonishing amount of music recently....

he does A LOT of gigs. was reading somewhere he was saying that last year he was gigging 126 days of the year. Take into account the travel etc. and it doesn't leave too much.

Deadmau5 is still pretty much riding the wave of his newfound popularity.

I can understand how he became so big. He just did really simple melodic catchy trance/prog/techno just as it's becoming big in the US.

And Faxing Berlin, while played to death is still an awesome lesson in simplistic well crafted music.

I've never heard an act sound more like the chemical bros than Gui Boratto. Beautiful life is a case in point.
