EDIT: Just saw there was another thread on this, at 38 pages. I renamed this post to continue in the chain.

I've been getting more and more into dance music over the last 2 years, and I thought why not make a thread about it on HFBoards, assuming there are others who enjoy it too.

I would say that my tastes have evolved a lot, but I remain someone who listens to a bit of everything. My usually go to genres range from: trap, dubstep, deep house, trance, and I've started going to more afterhours clubs in Montreal, so listening to tribal trance.

Some of my favorite artists include:

Above & Beyond
Eric Prydz
Kaskade
Skrillex
Diplo
Dada Life
Ilan Bluestone
RL Grime
Borgore
Adventure Club
Markus Schulz
Nicole Moudaber
Deadmau5

What are some of your favorite artists/tracks?

Here's one I keep going back to:

Hey guys,

Favor to ask - can you think of some producers/labels that post Indie Electronic music? Feel free to post smaller or larger producers!

Thanks in advance!

What do you mean by Indie? I could post Stay Up Forever Collective, Drop Bass Network or Quebecore Records, but I'm thinking that is not what you are looking for.

Can we keep this to one embed a post? Otherwise thread crashes on me. Waiting until I get a new workhorse before I can have this stop happening to me. You can link to the other videos, that is fine.

Another way to call it is alternative dance.

Like more mellow music.

This can be seen as an example:

Was going to respond earlier. Basically just check any of the YouTube channels, TheSoundYouNeed, Majestic, Noisey, Thump etc., they basically all cater to that standard, indie electronic sound, remix a lot of indie rock and alternative artists, especially stuff from the UK, in the vein of Radiohead, Foals, Phoenix, Temper Trap etc.

If you want some excellent remix artists check out Kaytranada, Flume and especially Joe Goddard. Also check out Hypem.com and SoundCloud.

Thank you for responding. I know of mostly all of those channels. I was hoping to find out lesser known channels or lesser known producers as well.

go to http://www.hypem.com, you'll find lots of great stuff there for sure. They have an app which I found really good too.

also, check out Jamie xx, Caribou, Four Tet, XXYYXX. These guys do great remixes of stuff. But there's too many artists to name of course.

tropical house lol, don't even know? i skimmed through, sounds pretty standard mix of everything, not necessarily a genre coined "tropical house". that's what I thought you meant. sounds like indie dance, nu disco, edm with some hipster rock in there too. dees.

new floating points, incredible



also, favourite caribou track off Our Love:

Really having a hard time enjoying Armin. Seems like everyone else loves him but me :laugh:. I don't hate him per say, I just do not necessarily love his music

I created the first one of these threads a few years ago, haven't been back here in a while so cool to see it on #4 and going strong.

What are some of your favorite podcasts?

EDX is a favorite chill driving one, Tritonal has a good one as well. Max Vangeli is a good one as well.

Post #20 :yo:

Synths are rad...(I was kid in the 80s)
Click to expand...

lol so was I (34 now). Loved all the techno coming out in the 90's (Underworld, Fatboy Slim, Moby, Prodigy, Crystal Method, Chemical Brothers) and the Trance (Paul van Dyk, Oakenfold, Sasha and Digweed, Boards of Canada, Aphex Twin) in the late 90's early 2000's. Then I lost my love for Electronic music with all the derivative EDM, House, Dubstep **** that was going around for about the last 5 years. Got burnt out on it.

Then Hotline Miami came out in 2012 with that amazing soundtrack and introduced me to synths again. **** I was like a kid in a candy shop. Found a goldmine of this music on Youtube and Spotify and now I'm falling in love with electronic music again these past 2 years thanks to this resurgence. Electronic music is now becoming more varied which is nice because my own feelings were it was becoming to stagnant.
