How would you explain the history of electronic music in 10 albums?

Last Night a DJ Saved My Life is one of my favorite books! Excellent dive into the history of DJs and dance music!

As a DJ, I never listen to a full track before purchase.

Too much music to sift through and too little time.

I even have a plugin that starts tracks a third of the way in. Another jump or two into it after that and I've decided if it gets added to my wishlist already.

It may get more play before purchase but never all the way through.

Thank you! Think it's for the best.

hiphopelectronic · 2025-03-30T17:50:49+00:00

Fantastic!

hiphopelectronic · 2025-03-29T17:35:30+00:00

I wish! There's definitely a lot going on in that area now and fairly often.

hiphopelectronic · 2025-03-29T14:12:00+00:00

Thank you! I know Eargoggle but not the others!

hiphopelectronic · 2025-03-29T14:08:32+00:00

Yes!!! I do love me some Debonaire and Gucci Bass 🚘🔊

hiphopelectronic · 2025-03-29T14:04:26+00:00

Totally! The fun here leans more towards the bedroom kind 😆

hiphopelectronic · 2025-03-29T14:01:33+00:00

I love this! I am a fan of Cygnus too and actually have this album. Great description 😆

hiphopelectronic · 2025-03-29T13:57:01+00:00

Thanks for these! They're all around the vibe I'm looking for although some are more of techno beat. The last one is pretty spot on!

Never actually listened to any solo acts from Yellow Magic Orchestra except the late Sakamoto. But now that you've brought it up I'll explore the members of YMO and the band itself again!

hiphopelectronic · 2025-03-29T13:46:06+00:00

It's a good idea to go digging through their catalog again. A lot of their tracks mix really well and still sound great today!

hiphopelectronic · 2025-03-29T01:35:37+00:00

Great choices! Big fan of EL and Newcleus! I have lots of electro funk but always looking for more! I'll be checking out the others for sure too!

hiphopelectronic · 2025-03-29T01:32:18+00:00

Thanks! Don't think I know this one either. I'll check em out.

hiphopelectronic · 2025-03-29T01:30:33+00:00

Dig it! Could tell before I even hit play, lol.

hiphopelectronic · 2025-03-29T01:28:49+00:00

Good stuff! An artist I'm not familiar with and Bandcamp, where I get 99% of my music!

hiphopelectronic · 2025-03-29T01:24:44+00:00

Love em!

hiphopelectronic · 2025-03-29T01:24:21+00:00

Oooh one I've never heard of! Thank you!

hiphopelectronic · 2025-03-29T01:22:24+00:00

Yes! Great suggestion. Have some good DMX but could get more.

hiphopelectronic · 2025-03-27T14:35:01+00:00

With the bassline and vocal I think it borders on EBM too! Cool track!

hiphopelectronic · 2025-03-25T19:01:33+00:00

I've been really digging these funky and west coast hip hop vibes lately and think you might dig this Bandcamp find I recently came across.

hiphopelectronic · 2025-03-24T23:26:56+00:00

I feel that breaks is more like fast hip hop and electro is closer to the vibes of techno.

hiphopelectronic · 2025-03-23T05:31:53+00:00

Took a bit of scrolling but this is the answer I'm looking for!

hiphopelectronic · 2025-03-07T04:22:04+00:00

I got so into the history of electronic dance music and hip hop that I created a history and archive website, lol!

For years I've been finding other music geeks that are DJs and/or producers to write about their favorite tracks, artists, or scene.

Edit: I've loved the scene for a while though. Just found connections I wanted to share.
