Yaris owners into EDM

[nsmitchell]

I like ELO and Kraftwerk! Does that count?! hehe

[kurokoma-kun]

I've got a couple Dave Rogers on my iTunes, what does that count as, Eurobeat?

[ceres]

EBM is the only type of industrial music I really listen to. VNV Nation, Apoptygma Berzerk, etc. Also a huge fan of Die Form. Will play the occasional Deine Lakaien or Project Pitchfork.

Usually I blast some power/prog/symphonic/melodic/gothic/melo death metal out of my car. Kamelot, Sonata Arctica, Nightwish, Opeth, Within Temptation, Ayreon, Haggard, Ensiferum, Therion, and most recently, Stolen Babies & Devin Townsend's Ziltoid the Omniscient

eurobeat? never heard of dave rogers before, so not sure.

'euro' or 'eurodance' is one genre

then theres always eurotrance... a much smaller genre some very cheesy trancey songs would fall into.

euro(dance) is a large cateorgy though, which would moslty likey fit. never heard of a genre called eurobeat before.

[Jem_hadar]

Your main/key/most common 4x4 (as in a four-by-four beat) EDM genres are:

Trance, house, techno, happy hardcore, and euro (if you wanna call consider that, as I do. I know most ppl into EDM feel disdain towards euro as its so cheesy and the crowd that it brings is distrinctly commercial (ie. ginos) and dis-similar to the other EDM genres).

But you have a million popular and huge sub genres of each

Trance: molodic trance, uplifting trance, dutch trance, epic trance, hard trance, psy trance (and/or goa trance), tech-trance, etc

House: hard house, gay house (yes, its a type), deep house, tech-house, etc

Techno: hard techno, minimal techno, funky techno

Similar to happyhardcore is also gabber (whoa! even faster!), speedcore, etc.


And then you have non-4x4 EDM....

DnB (drum n' bass), jungle, breaks (breakbeat), im not familar w/ these as i dont like non-4x4 edm, but i have a friend who DJs breaks, and there are a million diff kinds of breaks... funky breaks, techy breaks, trancey breaks, hip hop breaks (ugh!), etc.

[brickhardmeat]

Television, Stiv Bators, The Stooges and 999 are burnin' up my mp3 player lately - techno suks that's so 90's club kid

Generally I just listen to DJ Doboy's mixes.

Some people have told me Doboy is lame/popular/poser/etc, but whatever... That's what I like.

I also listen to Jazz ;p Depends on the mood.

I agree, I think most would. I wont though. I used to really enjoy his old mixes off DI.com

If i recall, his sets were largely trance or eurotrance maybe even. Id have to re listen to a few mixes.

Meh, if you like it you like it! Any EDM is good! (Its all I can listen to, anyways)

I'm a HUGE fan of tiesto, paul van dyk, armin van buuren, and ferry corsten. I saw tiesto last december, and had tickets to see armin in march, but my flight after spring break got cancelled and i missed out :(. Any time a trance dj comes to my area, i try to see them

[Doc Zaius]

Yay for trance!! Long time die-hard fan!

My partying goes through cycles... up and down since '93! Kinda back up again... Bal en Blanc in Montreal this year was pretty bonkers! Was in Ibiza for the first time last year too... Oakenfold can't mix for pooo! Oh, and I just saw Fedde last night on his "Put your Hands up for Detroit" tour! Great DJ as well as a producer!

Enjoy DEMF! My last big multi-day party was WEMF '00!

Oh, Ill be at WEMF again. 5th in a row!

WEMF "IS" what I live for in the summer.

First time checkin' out DEMF, but I only *just* got converted to techno after hearing D.A.V.E. The Drummer's renegade set on the Friday night around 3am at WEMF last year.

F*cking busting it out to D.A.V.E. and Chris Liberator's banging techno on like an inland beach! PHENOMENAL!

Outdoor stages are incredible.

WEMF is an experience like no other.

Armin was just here for an Armada night at Guvernment not too long ago.

And Ferry has a gig at SKYBAR in the first week of June... we're praying it'll be a sunrise set! Never heard trance on Skybar before (only house. ugh)... nothing beats dancing on Skybar (outside, on a massive rooftop dance floor on top of The Guvernment) when the sun is coming up at 7am! Its amazing and beautiful beyond words.

Just got back on Tuesday from a road trip with my Yaris LB Hatchback from Detroit.

Drove down there with 3 friends for the Detroit Electronic Music Festival (DEMF)... such a blast! 3 full days (noon to midnight) of pretty much nothing but minimal techno at Hart Plaza. Nothing beats partying outside in the open air, esp right in the middle of Detroit... the Plaza was gorgeous and huge.

So so many of our friends came, and honestly almost felt like we were still in Toronto. Easily 20+ of us in all over several hotels.

It was good to finally get Cara (my Yaris) into the the states for her first visit. She's looking forward to going back again next year ;)


2 of the funniest things (that weren't sketchy) was seeing an 80+ year-olds there dancing to techno w/ their scooters (LOL!) and seeing like 4 or 5 year-old kids rocking it out with their parents surrouned by partying ppl, candy ravers, and a fair share of really sketchy ppl too.

This one 7 year-old was making a great effort at breakdancing, and had a circle of 100 ppl around him, at 11pm at Monday night, an hour before the festival ended.

a raver came up to give and let him chose candy off his arm afterwards. THAT was impressive. I cant imagine having gotten one's first candy (braclettes made of beads ravers wear all up and down their arms) at the age of 7! Awesome!
