This is the end-all for any legal download DJ mix site... www.alldj.org You will probably find any and all popular and lesser known DJs here with all styles of EDM. If you'd like some really good electro house, do a search for Tyler Michaud! His stuff will dominate your ears!
ive listened to dif types of dance music for a long long time. and id have to say your message is pretty lame. getting so upset over TRANCE music come on now.
I don't know if it is true trance music or whatever, but some electronic music I have liked over the years is Tranceport by Oakenfold and "Dreamland" by Robert Miles. I also like "Leftism" by Leftfield and "Endtroducing" by D.J. Shadow - I know those last 2 albums aren't really trance but I consider them to be good dance albums.
There are definitely some good suggestions out there. To start someone off with dance music, I would recommend one of the big dj's: Armin Van Buuren Paul Van Dyk Tiesto Markus Schulz Deepdish Benny Bennasi (Maybe) If you have a little bit of an aquired taste, you'll start to figure out what aspects of dance music you like and you can go on from there with other artists: Sasha John Digweed Satoshi Tomiie Dave Seaman Danny Howells Nick Warren Max Graham Hernan Cattaneo Mark Farina I think a good cd to start with is Paul Van Dyk's Politics of Dancing Volume 2. There are some big tracks on there and it has a nice vibe throughout both cds. Its mainstream enough but not boring or cheesy. I, myself, started getting into the music with the Global Underground Series. I already had a little bit of a background with electronic music, but this series did a great job in introducing me into the world club scene and what kind of music is played by different artists. There are so many great albums and they are not mainstream or too underground. Check out the famous Sasha Ibiza GU (#13) which is the most successful cd of the series. Great tracks, some of them big time tracks, but check out the programming and the energy throughout the whole cd. Those are just some suggestions. For those of you who want to explore all aspects of electronic music, check out www.protonradio.com. Free streaming radio 24-7 of just about every artist you can think of. All types of genres are played and you'll find something you like. Bjorn
i like dj tiesto and ferry corsten myself. or if you're more into the metal/electronica thing, wumpscut might be more to your taste
I take offense to being a called a CRAP ASS GUIDO DJ! I'm not even WHITE! I am signed to Ultra Records and have done their Ultra Dance, Ultra Trance, and Club Anthem series. Ultra has signed people like Markus Shulz, and is arguably the #1 AMERICAN DANCE LABEL PERIOD! Look at their roster! Tiesto, Armin Van Buren, Roger Sanchez, Armand Van Helden, myself - The Riddler, and the list goes on and on. The Ultra Dance series are the more MAINSTREAM DANCE compilations but they do have some credible Artists from EVERY DANCE GENRE! So before you go on your high horse about Dance music....RECOGNIZE... O by the way? where are you from again? Houston? The dance capital of America right?
**** off, you b*stard! That's not trance music! What kind of lame ass list is that??? Just trying to get into the spirit of the thread.
People getting this upset over such a crap genre of music is hilarious. I'll take deep house/electro/downtempo/trip-hop over the predictable played out crap that trance is these days. There, I'm fitting right in in this thread!
Never heard of boards of canada, but I'm a huge Aphex Twin fan and that is definitely not trance. Underworld and Aphex Twin are the two most innovative electronic groups out there.
No. That's Art. This is the gheyest thread I've read in a long time. Discussing the merits of a musical genre that dominates gay mens culture. You want a CD suggestion? Fine. Go pick up every soundtrack for Queer As Folk. Everyone needs to chill, take thier shirts off, and wait for the oxygen bath to drop.
I've only heard one Boards of Canada song("1969"), but if that doesn't count as trance, I don't know what would.
Thanks guys, I've checked out most of the albums of the big DJ's. Jesus though the AMOUNT of albums these Dj's make is insane.
