I give you my full permission.

Oh yeah! Now I understand what you are talking about. But cowbell definitely doesn't necessarily categorize a track as being "electro". It's the specific bassline that makes it electro, not a percussion sample. I've heard funky house tracks with a cowbell sample too, that doesn't mean that they are electro.

explains,

dubfire wont dissapoint i know it

A cowbell is an instrument thats predominatley used in electro tracks. I would therefore classify it as an element of electro. Basically i said cowbell because its the only thing that i could take from the genre of electro to describe a steve angello track. (eric prydz remix in this case)

Says who? You? Where's the logic that says that only a bassline defines a genre.
There are some electro tracks that don't even have basslines. I agree though that a track can have an electro type bassline and therefore you can classify another track like that if it shares the same characteristics.

thats good, so you can say that they have electro elements in them due to the cowbell.

i dont even know why they called it flashdance. It should be called "he's a dream"

because thats the song by shanda that they are remixing, not actually "irene cara - what feeling (flashdance)"

So then by your logic, Blue Oyester Cult - Don't Fear The Reaper has electro elements?

edit // And technically they're not "remixing" that He's A Dream track. They're just sampling the guitar and vocals

yes. cowbell is a distinguishable percussion element used in electro tracks.
