what do you think of it?
personally i'm lovin sebastien leger & (of course) cirez d.. its become a little flooded (as every hyped genre does) and that bloody "hands up for detroit" tune makes me sweat with anger but some of it can add an element of funk at the begining of a techno set.
any thoughts?
i love it! some really good stuff out there. shamless plug but you'll probably like my mix in the filez section cos i've got a few bits on there by mr leger. He's really on form at the minute.
most of the stuff i hear in that genre im not too fond of, though i'm not too familiar with many producers of that genre. leger is a dope producer......but i think i would say his tracks sound more techy nowadays, compared to his disco house tunes years back
definitly. i think thats y i like his stuff.. same as prydz.. he's on a much techier tip than the rest of the genre..
leger rmxs are amazing too
I like a lot of what I've heard, don't really know who to listen out for or anything though... I've got few of the mouseville releases but on the whole I prefer to listen to other people playing it rather than mixing it myself.
yeah his old stuff is hite but his new stuff is really good. check academy records. thats a reallt tuff electro house label and has some nice stuff on it.
i love it, but as with anything there's line of cheesy vs good. leger for sure rocks.
don't know whether you'd call it electro house but james zabelia stuff is awsum the tacks on renessaince are great so is his mix of the new sasha tune. One of my fav tune of the year already!
DK7 have some good electro house out there, but on the whole not really into the genre.
it's odd how things are getting lumped in the electro-house category at the moment. seems like anything that has a techy beat and more emphasis on tweaked synth bass-lines and leads is being called electro-house by the shops. I suppose the seller has to choose a category to put stuff under for better or worse but it can lead to some confusion.
for example I really like some of the stuff in the electro-house category on juno such as leger or some of the pickadoll tunes and a few tunes from kompakt extra germany. on the other hand most of prydz (not his cirez d stuff) stuff, hoxton whores, that ****ing cicada tune and of some of the popish sounding stuff seems to be a world away from the stuff I like.
I guess the lesson is don't get too caught up on genre names. does it fit with your set, does it make you move your body. ok then....
last time i saw them they played mostly acid house. but this is more than one year ago.Quote:

yeah the sound has been battered. ledgers new stuff i would say is much harder and techy. the realease on pickadoll is immense. 2 of my fav tunes at the minute on it!
i just like good music, no matter what genre it comes under, after hearing relentless hard techno for so long, i've gone looking for more melodic music that's got some groove to it to.
Plus it goes well with tech house
i like mixing up minimal and electro i think they go really well together
indeed. with a nice bit of acid house too:cool:Quote:

that's the way, mate, imo. i dare say hits need either melodies and/or vocals. isn't it strange that whenever the question ''what would you want to be played at your funeral?'' rarely gets answered with techno-, house- or dance-tracks in general? to me that say it all. still there's a place for disharmonic/non-melodic stuff in my heart.Quote:

i dont mind some of the tracks lumped into this bracket, but i dont like all the funky house djs claiming to play 'electro'. give them aux88 and see how much they like 'electro'.
and whats that tribally house track that claims to be the electro anthem, with some guy chanting shit about electro? heard it on radio 1. its not even electro house, never mind electro.

"What happened to Ray and Anita anyway?!? Here's in short what they've been doing in the meanwhile...Ray Slijngaard and Anita Doth, who used her stage name Anita Dells when she was still with 2 Unlimited, have both left 2 Unlimited to get on with their solo careers. Ray is busy with his own record label, called Rayvano Records (named after his son), and Anita is currently busy with her own production company."
Rayvano records. awesome

some of it is really bangin, but like all the "flavor of the moment" genres, the market is flooded with mediocrity and crap from producers tryin to make a name for themselves or a quick buck or two.
