JFive, I'm guessing by your alias that you spin? Just curious where you came up with your name. LTJ bukem is some tight stuff as is Diesel Boy, and Dara! I just wanted to add that from Drum & Bass, Hip Hop/R&B, House and Reggae came one of my favorite genres, UkGarage/2step As far Electronica, I didn't know it was its own genre either, but its definitely the general term for all these types of music these days. good job explaining everything yall, the musical family tree always messes me up
Ah yes, I used to love this stuff back in the late 80s! But you know what? After leaving Houston, I am now convinced that most of these were *really* popular there and hardly anywhere else. Most people have never heard of any of these, with the possible exception of the Cult and Siouxsie, both of whom had marginal hits. I used to go to Record Rack on Shepherd and buy vinyls of the groups you listed all the time. Last year I visited Houston again and went back to the R.R., and it was funny that they seemed to be still selling the exact same stuff, only at much higher prices. Luckily, I came across a guy on EBay who burns custom compilation CDs of all of these. If anyone is interested, email me here. and I'll pass his e-mail along to you.
I'm pretty sure the clubs similar to NRG, X-CESS, 6400, NUMBERS, Located in N.Y. & L.A. would have been familiar with those bands. Those were the days !!!!!!!!
Although he's done some Jungle before, most of LTJ Bukem's catalog is Drum N Bass. Yep, spinning since age 11 (I'm 20 now). The name J Five means alot of things. My first name starts with a J and has five letters. The number 5 means alot to me in the sense that it's the most recurrent number in my life. I don't wanna bore you guys so I'll just say that alot things in my life have a link to the number 5.
I'm all over the board when it comes to this type of music. N.E.R.D. Morcheeba Dirty Vegas Daft Punk Cornershop Perry Farrell Depeche Mode Moby Alpha to rococco rot and i-sound St. Germain Babble Control Machete 80's, early 90's stuff, industrial, etc... Siouxie Depeche Mode Tangerine Dream Revolting C*cks Nitzer Ebb NIN Killing Joke Front 242 Ministry Skinny Puppy Sisters of Mercy My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult etc, etc, et al....
