The Definitive Interactive Guide to Electronic Music

*damnhooligan* · 04-11-2006, 08:26 PM

This is far and away the coolest website I've been to in a damn long time: Ishkur's Guide to Electronic Music breaks down modern music with a massive flow chart featuring 180 sub-genres each with a handful of examples. It may be a bit tough to navigate at first, but just click around and explore at will. Through seven basic genres (House, Trance, Techno, Breakbeat, Jungle, Hardcore and Downtempo) you can witness the odd, twisted progression electronic music has taken over the past three decades. Each description (that should be taken with a grain of salt) is garnished with set of half-a-dozen or so samples that help define the genre.

Mainly I posted this just because it was too awesome to share, but I'd like to see what kind of music you guys dig (and don't dig, if that's how ya wanna play it. Just be mindful keep the belligerent sh*t-spewing to a minimum. I think it'd be nice to have an intelligent conversation about music.) Me, I seem to listen to a fair bit of Progressive Hop, Funky, Experimental, Drum N Bass, Darkstep, Trip Hop, Jungle, Downbeat, Ghetto Tech and Acid Jazz. So spill it.

EDIT: Holy ****, this thing is awesome. It's even got the theme from Dr. Who listed!
