The Electronica Crew

[Magik-Waffle]

This crew is for all who enjoy, listen to, or make any form of general electronica music, whether it be house, trance, techno, ambient, dance, rave, whatever. Even if some of the genres I listed aren't technically "electronica," I will be referring to them as that generalized term because it frankly makes it much easier for all. I created this crew so members could share any songs they know of that others might like, seek advice for creating electronica songs, or just discuss the complete awesomeness that is electronica.

Rules
1) No flaming. Don't be a douche.
2) If you want in, you're in, so long as you follow the rules and critique stated above.
3) Don't spam.
4) Stay on the topic: electronica.
5) Have fun!

If you guys want, I can start official ranks, but I will always be the Supreme Electronica Dictator for Life if a ranking system ever comes into effect.

To start out, I will list some of my personal favorite electronica songs. I'm trying to expand my library so if you guys know of anything, post links to YouTube videos or something.

Max Farenthide - Number One I never heard of this guy. This song must be a one hit wonder or something.
Cosmic Gate - Wicked Listen to this whole song. The climax near the end is amazing.
ATB - Don't Stop This guys has quickly become one of my favorite electronica artists.
System F - Out Of The Blue Again, give this one a full chance. It gets pretty good.
PPK - Ressurection Listen to the middle of this song as you fall asleep. Incredible.

I have tons more, but this is enough for now. Anyone got something sweet they wanna share?

[Magik-Waffle]

I'm gonna bump this considering the fact I posted at 2:30 in the morning and everyone is in the art portal right now.

House electronica, mash-ups, and 8bit are the genres I like. Ambient techno is just boring to me.
Some songs.
Soulwax-round round
pixelh8
8bit rock.
French Techno.
Dan Deacon.
And my local club scene is terrible.

Electronic music is up there in terms of my favourite styles of music, so I may as well get in on this. She's not pure-Electronic but she has elements and she is essentially what not me into Electronic music (plus she's my favourite musician in general) but I love Imogen Heap.
And I'm generally a fan of more ambient stuff so I'd say Moby and Amon Tobin are favourites of mine too.

I like me some Daft Punk, Aphex Twin, Christoph de Babalon as well.

I don't even have a local club scene. :( I live two hours from Chicago, though, so I'm thinking of going to Zero Gravity there sometime.

I love electronic music. I like ambient stuff, chillout, drum and bass, breaks, indietronica, dance punk; more or less the whole spectrum.

my favorite artists are Noisia, Air, Röyksopp, Justice, Noisia, Feed Me, Ratatat, Passion Pit, and Ulver after their black metal stint.

I mainly know Imogen Heap because she has done alot of work with an 8bit artist named pixelh8 who I linked up there.
Also, Major Lazer is playing a free concert this saturday! :D

He puts on some amazing concerts.

[Magik-Waffle]

Most of that stuff you mentioned I don't recognize, but I do love Royksopp, Daft Punk, and Dan Deacon is pretty interesting. I fell in love with ABT's "Don't Stop." It's such an amazing trancey song. Most of ATB's stuff is great. I also love Cosmic Gate and Deadmau5. That songs "Move For Me" he did with Kaskade is great too.

I don't get it...

[BananaBreadMuffin]

I'll join. I like ambient and generic indie-ish stuff.

In a vague sort of order:
Air, LCD Soundsystem, Royksopp, Zero 7, Daft Punk, Justice, Moby, etc, etc, etc

[Magik-Waffle]

That's some good stuff there, BananaBreadMuffin.

I'm pretty sure this is electronica. I discovered this recently. Great video and song. Animal Collective - My Girls.

Have you ever heard of the band Beach House? They remind me of animal collective.
I'm not a fan of either band though. To noisy for me.

Link?

MGMT is like Animal Collective too.

[aninjaman]

Beach House.
Not total electronica. Their main appeal is the shows they put on are supposed to be beautiful.
