    Well, apparantly all the popular genres except for trance at the moment are into the whole minimal-tech scene. It annoys me most of the time, but some of it has grown on me (not the random sounds, but tracks with minimal/techy elements to them).

    I felt extremely betrayed when Sasha went Electro/Tech after "Involver", and when he started up with that sound, I found it aweful. However, the stuff he is doing these days with Progressive-Tech-Electro is absolutely wonderful. No two sets of his will have the same track that will sound the same as it did in the last set. His on the fly remixing makes the same track sound different every time he plays it. It's quite awesome, actually.

    Quadrax! I'd love to hear some of your stuff, and I'll share some of my stuff too if you guys want hehe. If you wanna post something Trancy, or Ambient, or even some Breaks that would be wicked!

    Ok, here's a little rant that I've been keeping caged up for a while:
    WTF happened to Techno? Why in the hell are there no more good techno songs these days? All I hear is this damn minimal shit ... made by artists with almost no talent. I mean, there's some good minimal pieces, but the majority are jsut shit ... and minimal makes up at least 95% of techno that's being released these days.
    Has the techno scene gone mad? what the hell happened to classic techno ? tribal techno? latin techno? Damn, even hard techno and acid techno were better than minimal ...

    Don't get me wrong, I think minimal as a style and genre has it's own special place, especially in the techno scene ... but as it evolved, it went a bit too far. The minimal of days gone by was still music. Now, the only things you find in them are a couple of beat-up drum machines and a casio keyboard, all with their faders put down almost to the bottom. Damn, people, the scene has gotten old, but not old enough to need hearing aids just to hear the damn music.

    I like pretty much all types of electronic music.

    My first love is for purist, old-school minimal detroit techno and chicago house. All the pioneers you know.

    I also love to listen to trance and drum and bass when i am up for something energetic or i listen to idm and ambient stuff at home when i want to chill

    I used to dj back in the 90's and i have a pretty decent record collection, although i haven't bought any new vinyl for years. I have made electronic music on and off for about 16 years or so. I used to have a huge hardware collection, name pretty much any classic roland analogue kit and i had it. I did a few live gigs back in the day too. Took all my shit out into a forrest in the middle of nowhere once and played a set at 3am with frost setting on my equipment! These days its all software.

    Some of my songs have also been played on the local dance music radio station and i have some tracks released on cd and one on vinyl from surgery records.

    Who will have the balls to put up some of their own tracks first?
    Shall i get the ball rolling? I make all sorts from minimal techno, trance, dnb, or ambient.
    What would you like to hear?

    Ah nice!

    I started off listening to trance, in it's prime (1995-1999), began losing interest in it, and completely stopped in 2001. 1999-2001, I transitioned into the progressive house scene, and have been hooked on that ever since. The recent evolution of the progressive house split into electro and minimal had me pretty pissed off for the most part, and I felt specially betrayed when Sasha began spinning stuff like that, however, I've slowly begun to grow into a little bit (though not much) of the electro scene, and a lot more of the minimal scene.

    I still am the biggest fan of progressive house and breaks, but there are some tracks in the two new genres that I really like.

    I started making tracks on Fruityloops (lol back when it was called that), sometime in 1999, but now I exclusively use Ableton Live, I believe from about 2 years ago. I don't have any formal music training, so am just about a complete dunce with respect to music theory, hence, I play everything by ear. I like to add guitar riffs, or bass riffs to my tracks every now and then, but generally stick to the midi keyboard and the synths.

    I like making soundtrack style tracks (movie and videogame), ambient, and, of course, proggy house tracks.

    I generally stay as far away from vocals as I can hehe.

    Well, almost any of the music genres from the EDM spectrum.
    But I prefer House, Trance, Techno and Breakbeat genres to Jungle and Ambient. Jungle's too much all-over the place for my liking and Ambient's too slow and you can't really dance on it. But I do have favourite tracks in those genres as well.

    My favourite one per se would have to be Hard Acid Trance. (Ex: Voodoo & Serano - Blood Is Pumping.) Very much into the Hard Dance style.

    No I'm sorry, I don't think the Tom Green - Bum Bum Song would qualify as Electronical Music.
