YrS: only one of those I like is Paul Van Dyk .

most of the songs off the linkin park reanimation cd might count...

ugh..please not that cd

Linkin Park was decent in the beginning, then they blew up and were hyped to hell

so whatever, good for them...they made it big...but now they milk it again with a remix cd of all of their songs

yeah, as if the first few millions they made weren't enough

haha. Yeah, that pissed me off. I liked parts of their songs, and of course Cure For The Itch was the best. I thought alot of their lyrics were amateurish, but instrumental versions of their songs (like so many other bands...cough limp bizkit) would rule I think.

To me, putting out a remix cd second is, as Imp said, just milking it. Kinda "dissin" the fans that they managed to grab.

gold star for you
lmao, coolness.

I am still listening to MSI...i can't stop listening to them.

Edit: cd second is Impy = cd second is, as Impy

Dieselboy kicks ass thanks for the sugestion

Well i would suggest, but all my fav's were already posted, well except for

Basement Jaxx
Warmdue Project (King of my Castle) &
DDR

I can't believe i forgot Junkie XL. Def Beat, Unerachievers, No Remorse, and War are awesome. Also, X-Panding Limits, Legion, and Zerotonin are good but they are more lyrical and a little rappish.

I hate lyrics in trance/rave music!

In a truely good set its so hard to even hear words, hell i get a migraine sometimes just trying to figure out wtf is being said!

i hate trance. Jungle and trip hop/acid jazz are good. If i could recomend some music it would have to be DJ Shadow, anything from ninja tune records http://www.ninjatune.com check out xen cuts artist like dj vadim, coldcut, cut chemist, other artist form other labels that are good roni size, DJ mark farina's mushroom jazz is good shit. If you like turntablists the the executioners, invisible scratch picklez, dj qbert, the allies, mix master mike, the beat junkies, short kut, roc raida, dan the automater. Well this list gets a little of the base of electronica, but its deffinately not rock n roll and it aint rap, so start those file sharing search engines up.

I started listening to DJ Shadow and DJ Short Kut (as it said in the mp3, I don't know if it is just short kut like you said) before I formatted, and that was awesome stuff. I like stuff with heavy bass, and nice turntables. Really complex and fast drumbeats rule, but slower stuff is good too. (Clubbed to Death by Rob D on The Matrix Soundtrack is awesome.)

I will check out some of that stuff sine.

I love vocals along with rave music in most applications. First off, the vocals must be female...that's the only thing that works. I really don't like fast vocals with faster beats (there are exceptions), but instead, moderate tempo, more melodic voices with faster beats (see "DJ Mystik - Look At Us Now"). Slow and melodic voices with slow beats are really good too...such as "Massive Attack - Dissolved Girl."

In some of Robert Miles work he has vocals for it's SOUND. No words, just vocal sounds. "Robert Miles - Dreamland - 02 - Fable (Message Version)" is an example of a female starting the song with lyric-vocals then doing some well-variated sound-vocals soon after. I agree with unreal about how famale vocals are pretty much all that goes well with electronica... here's an exception though...

Although Enigma isn't electronica (newage), that indian sounding guy does some excellent sound-vocals. For instance 'Morphing Thru Time' on the 'Le Roi Est Mort, Vive Le Roi!' album starts out with some kind of arabic sound-vocals, then moves on later into the song to the excellent indian sound-vocals.

So I think indian sound-vocals would also sound really good in electronica. However, with lyric-vocals I still think only female sounds good with electronica.

Sneaker Pimps, Massive Attack, and Splashdown all sound great. I think male voices can work well with electronica, but not usually. Females sound better when they sing than males. If I was in a band, i would want a female singer. And I agree, it is better when the vocals are just for the sound.

I guess I am the only UGN Security member who doesn't listen to anything in the "Electronica" genre...

probably now curse, i just started listening to it really recently, after being here for a week. before that all i listened to was rock and metal, and some rap. korn, godsmack, disturbed, slipknot, soulfly, mudvayne, some greenday, DMX, dr dre, snoop dog, with some limp bizkit, linkin park, and eminem, but now im all for this electronica shit. strange how that happens
