Hey

Anyone here got like a list of different styles of electronic dance music (techno, trance, progressive) and an explenation of each??

I tried to explain the differences to my friend but it went over his head.

I would also be curious about some myself :toothless

there's no such thing as electronic music.


i think the term you're looking for is 'techno'.

hmm, i was about to make this my new bible, but now i have big doubts about the authenticity of it:rolleyes:

but he got the happy hardcore + sub genres correct, and the songs were in the right places

DJ Tatana and Future Breeze both in the "Not Trance AKA Crap" section, yet those are two songs that I first started listening to when I got into trance :p

ishkur sucks, he really hates all of trance especially anything with an anthem

This Ishkur person seems to have a serious grudge against anything that isnt hard..and how can he classify hip hop and rap as the same thing?!

The site has good quick samples but it doesn't hit on the mark for everything. Very disorganized and 89% of it hes stating his opinion. Also 89% is in the wrong place.
