"How can I feel it?" (this thread is about music)

TTK12G3 on 15/3/2006 at 03:03

Good music is very difficult to find. Finding good music of this specific sort is even harder.

I am wondering if anyone here likes house, trance, techno, dance, or anything of the like and can give me a recommendation or two. I've already picked out Benny Bennassi(is that right?) and Arash as two of the artists I am going to buy in bulk the next time I order music.

To be more specific, I am looking for music that will make one anxious (not stressed out) and want to get up and move.

DO NOT HOLD BACK SUGGESTIONS, please.;)

I cannot sing the praises of Akufen enough. He's on this kind micro-house jaunt. Check out "Deck The House" and watch the party kick off!

Thanks noid.

I just wanted to add that foriegn artists are perfectly acceptable(note Arash), but European artists are prefered.

I've been using (http://www.pandora.com) Pandora more and more often to get music suggestions. I generally use it for rock though, I don't know how functional it is with other genres.

Ditto. Plus some blues and jazz. It's played a bit of bluegrass as well, and would likely do much more if I suggested bluegrass/country music.

As far as techno-ish kind of music. I would highly reccomend Zero 7, Skalpel and of course Dirty Vegas.

For some tripped out expiremental music checkity check Sigur Ros. They are an icelandic group and have music like you've never heard before. If you go to their (http://www.sigur-ros.co.uk/) website you'll find ALOT of their music to download for free!

And I must. But a shameless plug for a group who is dear to my heart.

(http://www.shapiropeople.com) Shapiro

a great new group, jazz/indie/totally original. If you like, you can PM me and I'll hook you up with some more of their music.

Go (http://di.fm/) here. Listen to stations that suit your fancy.

You'll find something you haven't heard before eventually.

edit: nickolae, Zero 7 is good, but he's asking for dance music.

oh ho! I didnt get the whole anxious and move thing. OK OK I got it. My offer still stands mind you.

Dancy stuff huh? Are we talkin like "flashing light thingy in the mouth, (http://innerrave.org/images/photos/photo14.jpg) white cracker" dancing?

or like CAN dancing?

If you want something a bit mad you may try Infected Mushroom - the only Israeli techno I know of, incidentally.

Something lighter is Layo & Bushwacka! - it's a kind of blues influenced house.

I haven't listened to much newish stuff for a while so I'll probably take up on some recommendations here myself...

Why does the music's nationality matter, and what would you consider to be 'foreign'?

If you want Benny Benassi style stuff, the best thing to do is probably look for a few house compilations which have his stuff on. Shouldn't be hard, 'Satisfaction' was everywhere. If you want more general 'dance music', well that's pretty much akin to asking people for 'music recommendations' in its vagueness. Go to (http://www.ishkur.com/music/) Ishkur's, find something you like, and it'll be easier to advise :).
