A bible of sorts for electronic music.

Ajnag

Hey all just found this last night and its one of the coolist things Ive seen in a while. If you click on the main image @ http://www.ishkur.com/index.php

Youll get a flash pop-up detailing the full history of electronic music by linking all the genres including samples of each. I personally love the sharpness of the writer as well.

Tbh, I felt tempted to keep it to myself just to be a pretenous know it all, Damn nice side!

Enjoy.

saw that a few months ago (think i posted it here too but got no replies )

amazing piece of work.

Ajnag

nice one,
had a great night last night with it. And all this cos Ive been looking for terrorcore since I left holland

That guy must have been well placed to learn what he knows. Most people are lucky if they even know a tenth of whats mentioned.

go read "energy flash" by simon reynolds... THAT my boy is a bible!

Loobz

Thats pretty good. Had a good look through it last night. Well worth a look for all into the electronic/Dance scene.

I must be the only one who thinks its brutal :rolleyes: where is he getting half of these musical genres from they dont exist?(maybe they exist in his head)terrible

Anima

Yeah I think you are Jonny.

Executive Steve

brutal is a bit much, but its a bit... clueless...

jonny68

TBH where is he getting these genres of dance music from?they dont exist only is his head..dance music is pigeonholed enough without the likes of this character making up styles that dont exist :rolleyes:

if your looking for a bible of sorts for dance music http://www.discogs.com/ is the only website to check,over 90% probably more of every single dance music record ever released..that's a serious database for you

Bri

Na your not the only one. As impressed as I am with the effort, I found it all a bit taxing and unnecessary. I hate the sub-sub-genre bull to begin with usually.

Discogs is the king and always will be! I use it at home and used to use it when I was in music retail, as did everyone...

Anima

You're trying to compare chalk and cheese in all fairness lads.

I mean discogs is just a database of artists and what they've released/remixed/whatever.

This is just about explaining the history of dance and electronic music as best as he could. I mean did no one read the historical bit at the start? The guy clearly has some clue whats going on and even if its not 100% accurate, who cares?. Its worth a read through.

Bri

Ah yeah I said I was impressed with the effort.

Just thought I'd big up discogs

Executive Steve

www.rolldabeats.com is waaay better than discogs for stuff like oldschool breakbeat hardcore jungle and drum and bass though...
