Recommend me some electro
 

I'm in the mood for pure electro music

Stuff like Kraftwerk's "Aerodynamik" and LFO's "Freak".

I know some electro artists (like kraftwerk) but I'd like to learn more.
I don't necessarely want danceable electro, just good stuff to listen/smoke to. With long pads and stuff.

Recommend me some :)

Thanks.

In fact, anything on Ai Records is worth checking out for satisfying your electro thirst :)

Re: Recommend me some electro

Re: Recommend me some electro
 

i was about to suggest Miss Kitten, but after realizing about all your intense electro knowledge I'd better go to bed.

Good night!:eek:

Re: Recommend me some electro
 

Yo tambien. iBuenos Dias!

Re: Recommend me some electro
 

Buenas madrugadas John!

Re: Recommend me some electro
 

+1 for this one, in fact most of the Two Lone Swordsmen stuff. If you also get the chance to see Andrew Weatherall live then do so!

(pity I couldnt be here on friday! :()

Re: Recommend me some electro
 

Many thanks for the suggestions. I'm now getting some stuff that you recommended. I already had a few tracks by Two Lone Swordsmen, one of them is "Foreververb". I really enjoy this one, and maybe you guys know similar stuff? I'm not really looking for the "dated" electro to be honest.

Re: Recommend me some electro
 

I know this is "dated" but these are the songs i think of everytime i hear "electro":
Afrika Bambaataa - Looking For The Perfect Beat
Moskwa TV - Generator 78

you might wanna check out Modelselektor, G.D. Luxxe, Ascii Disko (though I'm not 100% sure whether they qualify as "electro", they sound pretty semi-minimal blippy mm*tstt*mm*tstt to me)
and get: Moby - Go (Trentemoller remix)

Re: Recommend me some electro
 

Radioactive Man, AKA Keith Tenniswood, is one half of TLS. You really should pick up his debut album as BLD said. Sits nicely between listening/dancing music but it's all really good.

Re: Recommend me some electro
 

what about :

The Egyptian Lover -> You've got to at least check out the track "Egypt Egypt"
Sexual Harassment - "I Need a Freak"

but if you want more new-ish kind of sound, like electro-punk/whatever... pretty much anything by Boys Noize, Digitalism, Simian Mobile Disco, any of the Kitsuné Maison compilations...

Re: Recommend me some electro
 

"Aerodynamik" reminds me of a lot of stuff on the Kompakt label, maybe you should try one of them? Grab one of their compilations, you'll find plenty to like there ;)

Re: Recommend me some electro
 

Gary Numan/ Afrika Bambaataa - Metal
Legowelt - Disco route
Orgue Electronique
Any various CD by dr. Lektroluv.

Re: Recommend me some electro
 

ah yes - Legowelt is awesome. It's using old analog machines but you should still look into it.

Re: Recommend me some electro
 

as scott mentioned, you should definitely check out dave clarke's electro boogie mix series :cool:

Re: Recommend me some electro
 

Fixed that for you.

Re: Recommend me some electro
 

No, no, I agree, but Leon was saying he was looking for stuff that wasn't "dated".

Re: Recommend me some electro
 

Oh and yes, the electro boogie mix cds, of course. I remember looong ago in the dirty irc channel a mr. scott and mr. tyler telling me about these. They are worth every penny.

Re: Recommend me some electro
 

Keith Tucker is basically the shit. Especially this release: http://www.discogs.com/release/65325

Re: Recommend me some electro
 

Check out the label Clone from Rotterdam:

http://www.clone.nl/label/clone

Lots of good stuff on there, including Legowelt, Dexter, etc. Lots of electro and techno.

Re: Recommend me some electro
 

drexciya - harnessed the storm.
bit of a no-brainer.

Re: Recommend me some electro
 

Solvent - my radio

Re: Recommend me some electro
 

Check out:

Photocall - "Silver Clouds"

The 2007 release on Clone includes an awesome remix by Dexter. I'm really loving it.

Re: Recommend me some electro
 

Word up.

And you can listen to the fabric compilation by Andrew Weatherall...

Re: Recommend me some electro
 

I'm listening to I-F - Fucking consumer, right now.

Re: Recommend me some electro
 

I'm not sure if this is really what you're after, but I've just got hold of the album In Miniature by Rubicks. It's sort of electro-pop I suppose. I can't think off the top of my head of anyone to compare them to I'm afraid.

They've got that sort of slightly dark, almost kinky edge to them, a bit like later Goldfrapp, I guess, but with a pop sensibility.

Check out Midas, the first song I heard, on their Myspace page

Re: Recommend me some electro
 

how does this compare to The Quest and Neptune's Lair?
i never looked into it b/c Scott dissed it way back when :o

Re: Recommend me some electro
 

It's pretty rough mostly. I like the narrative quality of the music when listening along with the tracklisting but a few of the cuts are a bit too amelodic [sic?] and aggressive. However, Digital Tsunami is absolutely wonderful. I like Grava 4 the best I think.
