I Need Glowstick Music

(1/11) > >>

Dimmukane:
Alright, so here's the deal.  Summer is coming up, and some friends want to take me clubbing.  Thing is, I'm a shite dancer and I want to have a trial run (with the help of some tiny pills with little pictures on them, but that's not important.  I want music I can dance to sober or at least not necessarily on a serotonin rush).  So I need music for that.

Problem: There's a fuckton of electronic music, and I have no idea where to start.  I mucked around that one guy's 'Guide To Electronic Music', but I can't seem to find any style that stands out based on the samples he had.

Much of what I have right now is remixes and original songs by Soulwax or MSTRKRFT, and a couple other 'house anthems' such as that one song from Venture Brothers and stuff Eric Prydz wrote.  Also a Crookers remix of 'Day and Night'.  So basically I'm looking for stuff that's got a somewhat upbeat melody and some thick bass steaks.

With this in mind, I am not looking for the more disco-y stuff like Cut Copy, Justice, Daft Punk, etc.  In other words, slap bass is a no-no.  Also I don't really dig on trance-y stuff like Infected Mushroom or Shpongle.


So if anyone has any suggestions as to good music blogs for this or bands/songs similar to the stuff I found, I'd much appreciate it.

Koremora:
Deastro and Holy Fuck are the two best electronic bands of that variety I can recommend. That said, I'm interested to see what other people post, as I want more music like them.  :-D

Shaztastic:
pendulum (D&B), Judge jules, and guru josh project infinity (original not 2008 version)  they're all stuff i listen to.

seeing pendulum on saturday :D they're aces

Scandanavian War Machine:

never heard of Deastro, Holy Fuck would probably work, though it's not really club music, but...M83? really? that's, like, the exact opposite of club music. unless, of course, he does some wacky techno shit that i haven't heard.

let's see...there are probably some tracks on the new Animal Collective album that would work too. EDIT: the last track "Brother Sport" is a definite must, now that i think about it. even i couldn't resist jumping around and shaking my ass when that song is playing and I DO NOT DANCE, EVER.

also, the song "No Use Crying Over (Some Techno)" from 65daysofstatic's new album Escape From New York would probably work, as well (everyone should just get that album right now anyway because it is fucking sweet).

pat101:
I wouldn't call daft punk or justice "disco-y" and I never fucking listen to infected mushroom or Shpongle, but I'll do my best.

The Carl Craig sessions are pretty awesome, and provide an interesting "best of" for a seminal American artist . It's two disc, two and a half hours dj mix of some of his remix's and original tracks.

LCD Soundsystem (aka James Murphy and Co.) is always a solid bet. Both the self-titled and Sound Of Silver have excellent and completely danceable tunes. The entire albums may not be ideal for your 'e' adventure, but parts of them certainly.

For really fantastic "minminal techno" Ricardo Villalobos is fantastic, perhaps too "trancy" for your taste, but check him out. Anything of his really.

Hot Chip, Junior Boys both usually great.

start with some of those
