Tsotsi Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Hi all, I'm sure this topic has been done before, if so FANTASTIC post some links. A friend in his 30's who has spent his life listening to metal is trying to get into electronic music. No specific genre as of yet, the only descriptor is that he likes epic and melodic music. Last time he listenened to electronic it was when Skrillex and Basement Jax were in their prime. Modern EDM seems to immature for a guy that listened to heavy metal. Any recommendations of where to get the guy started? So far I have:- Moderat Jon Hopkins Morcheeba Bad Tango Mood Deluxe Kino oko Opiuo Jon Bovi Zirrex (sneaking it in) Zen Baboon Thievery corporation So I guess anything unique with its own flava profile that can get him hooked in some direction or another.

Tsotsi Posted January 21, 2021 Author Share Posted January 21, 2021 Those are some noisy ass suggestions. Maybe a metal fan would like them but phew, had to shower after listening to them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psytones Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Well this guy is a (black) Metal fan to the bone, so maybe some of his mixes will turn your friend on https://youtube.com/c/aztronaut 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jikkenteki Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Old Dark Soho or even Xenomorph perhaps? As an aside, I was (am?) actually a metal musician first before I got into the electronic world and think it always permeated my own music, especially the last album. Jikkenteki 4 is actually turning into my first attempt to actually blend the two together, although it will be awhile before it’s ready. I might also suggest looking into drum n bass. I am still stuck in the old school stuff for the most part, but I can see metal heads with electronic interests liking artists like Gridlok. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFG Division is one of the most punishing pieces of music I've ever come across. Devastating, just like the weapon XD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RTP Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 He should check out the Growling Machines remixes of Celldweller: (oh and Celldweller in general, he will like, but that's not electro) That one maybe too: On 1/21/2021 at 9:19 PM, Paul Eye said: The Algorithm, perhaps? Oh and maybe he's one of those guys that already know and like Pendulum (which, if he doesn't know, he should go check out a.s.a.p. because they are the most metal<-> electro (dnb to be specific) crossover that I know) ... then he should check out the Quemists and Zardonic: ... but with that video it's rather: "metal for electro fans" ... I'd say and then there's the whole Retro Wave genre that will vers likely appeal to metal fans aswell ... I can recommend Dan Terminus but anything by NRW will probably do 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
