KozmikTentacles Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I have really been getting into this genre lately, never really indulged in it before. I'm really liking Silicon Scally at the moment, also Autechre's Tri Repetae which may not be purely electro but I think it has some of those influences. I've tried some of my usual places to search for new music (Discogs, Last.fm) but it's always so much easier to ask for recommendations, so what have you got?

needle ninja Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 As with all genres, some is crap while some is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rino Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Start with the legends: Anthony Rother Dopplereffekt The Hacker Drexciya Try out these V/As as well: http://www.discogs.com/Underground-Resista.../release/684367 http://www.discogs.com/UR-Electronic-Warfa...release/1354621 I am no electro head though, but the stuff I listed above convinced me that this genre had a few more tricks up its sleeve. These are no hidden gems or unknown, no name releases - the above represents some of the most wicked, cerebral and experimental stuff labelled as 'electro'. And naturally, need I mention Kraftwerk? Above all, check out "Man machine" (AKA Die Mensch-Maschine) and "Computer world" (AKA Computerwelt). I reckon if and when you check the above, maybe it's time to dig out those obscurities!

KozmikTentacles Posted June 10, 2009 Author Share Posted June 10, 2009 Thanx! Finally a proper answer Oh yeah, I know Kraftwerk already! But the others are mostly new to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yerg Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Both of Dave Clarke's Electro Boogie mixes: http://www.discogs.com/Dave-Clarke-X-Mix-E...ie/release/2861 http://www.discogs.com/Dave-Clarke-Electro...wn/release/1018 these are extremely well mixed with a serious dosage of chunky scratching if you like things to be much funkier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Matta Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I've personally enjoyed the Suction stuff the most: Solvent, Lowfish, Skanfrom and those guys, with that dry, tweaky modular sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yerg Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 plus check these dj-mixes - the concept is similar for them all: first cd - techno, second cd - electro Dave Clarke - World Service http://www.discogs.com/Dave-Clarke-World-Service/master/4113 Dave Clarke - World Service 2 http://www.discogs.com/Dave-Clarke-World-S...-2/master/43769 Luke Slater - Fear And Loathing http://www.discogs.com/Luke-Slater-Fear-An...ng/master/70870 Luke Slater - Fear And Loathing 2 http://www.discogs.com/Luke-Slater-Fear-An...-2/master/13606 and try out this one - pure electro - http://www.discogs.com/Robert-Görl-Dark-To...ny/master/75344 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oopie Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Here's a few you could try out: Bangkok Impact (Traveller, The Creme Years) Legowelt (Dark Days, Dark Days 2, Vatos Locos) Parallax Corporation (Cocadisco) Juan Atkins (20 Years Metroplex: 1985 - 2005) Dj Stingray (Aqua Team 2) I'm with Rino about Drexciya - that's good Stuff. Danny Wolfers (Legowelt) has quite many aliases you might be interested in, all of them some degree of electro. Hope you find something that suits your taste.

KozmikTentacles Posted June 14, 2009 Author Share Posted June 14, 2009 I'm hearing some songs by Anthony Rother at the moment, sounds really good so far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTP Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 I'm hearing some songs by Anthony Rother at the moment, sounds really good so far!Anthony Rother is a genius... Father, Hacker, Nacht der Götter, Little Computer People, Don't Worry, My Name Is Telekraft ... just to name a few songs... Anthony Rother has an air of technology-critisism in his music that I really have begun to like with a passion. And if it's not technology-critical then it's some stuff that makes you think. Or it's just plain good. And it's double good if you understand german. BTW, check out his remix of Kraftwerk - Trans Europe Express!

PlutoDelic Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 it's amazing how the minimal trend killed this genre. since you like anthony rother, try some old stuff from Alter Ego, Zeta Reticula did also some nice breakbeat electro (his known as Umek in hard stuff, now does minimal shit too), Luke Slater as mentioned before especially the horn track remix, T Raumschmiere. a very personal preferation, if u find it ...Primal Scream - Autobahn 66 (Alter Ego Remix) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
