Anyone here a fan of electronic music? I listen to a lot of German house and mellow house/electronica & experimental.

Electronic music is often portrayed as banging repetative kick drums, there is however a wide range of beautiful and interesting offerings, anyone else listening to this?

One of the best Electronic albums of all time is easily Sasha & Dig -Northern Exposure.

Also, highly rate Jamie XX's debut record...

Old school dubstep, very dark and moody...pretty much pointless listening to with a subwoofer

Grew up on it and, although my taste has diversified, I'm still loyal to it to the last. When I started listening to it everyone thought I was listening to crud, then everyone thought it was brilliant, then everyone thinks it's crud again. The sign of a true fan is if it lives in your blood and you're not swayed by fads

Well said! I kinda like listening to what I like and not the mainstream, feels real personal that way.

Am quite old school where electronica is concerned, Kraftwerk etc but do like a nice bit of wobbly dubstep, and a bit of Aphrodite, dj shadow,roni size. Have made a bit of electronic noise in the past.

Bit of a fan here... love Amon Tobin, Squarepusher, Aphex Twin, Xploding PlastiX, RJD2, Hybrid, C-Mon & Kypski, (Adam) Freeland, Bonobo, Mu-Ziq, Freestylers, Pendulum, Noisia, Andy C, Matrix & Futurebound, J Majik & Wickaman, Wagonchrist, DJ Yoda, DJ Teebee, Chase & Status, Future Prophecies, Muffler, Nu:Tone, High Contrast... etc., etc.!

I'd say my favourite is always breakbeat/breaks.

Me neither you look at the direction that some of the big names have gone compared to how they first started out such as prodigy, pendulum chase and status, DJ fresh to name a few. Completely shocking but i guess the majors take control and dictate the music that they produce

Big fan of most electronic genres, going right back to joe meek, radiophonic workshop, silver apples from the 60's right through modern day stuff like johnny jewel, Etienne Jaumete. Love loads of classic synth pop, jungle, trip hop too.

I write my own music and love programming synths as well.

Berghain techno: Paula temple, Helena stuff

House: Solomon,miss kittin,Alan braxe- in fact anything off ed banger records, tiga and all the dfa shiz

Vitalic,deadmau5,Maya Jane Coles, trentemoller, seen amon Tobin loads- absolute genius.

Jamie xx is pioneering. Skream's essential mix from radio1 is still dubstep amazingness.

Been into electronic stuff for years from the acid house days through rave, jungle, d'n'b, trance, techno and into the newer sounds especially Darren Styles, been a big fan of his for years. And he doesn't live far from me.

Electronic ambient I love, plus more recently ambient trance/psytrance. Started off with Tangerine Dream back in the 80s, then Depeche Mode type of genre. More recently John Foxx (ex-Ultravox), Bill Laswell, Harold Budd, Steve Roach, Zero Cult, Total Eclipse, Squarepusher, Electrypnose and my current favourite, Tripswitch (not the metal band, but Nick Brennan) - a good place to listen is online at psychedelik.com: there's a variety of sub-genres on that station

Grew up on the stuff loved old stool and Italian house mainly a fan of RAF (mauro picotto)back then played and toured and ran events all over UK and Europe mainly Trance and Hard dance events and festivals. My favourites have to be driving stuff like early John O'callahan indecent noise, Jordan Suckley, signum, used to be a HH nut 20 years ago and been pretty much all the tidy weekenders for the fun and frolicks. Good times.

But you can't beat a great old stool piano house track in my opinion!! I have a massively eclectic taste but this is some electronic stuff I like

BTW EDM is just pitched down Hardstyle with a different kick and it's pretty socks balls for me!

With you on piano house, The piano is my favourite instrument, some of the classic piano house tunes are pure euphoria.

Nice! Solomon's Hanburg based label Diynamic has some of the best stuff around, Stimming being one of the standouts. Have a look for the 5 years and 10 years Diynamic albums.

Not a particular fan of dance music but there are exceptions to that. Introduced to Kraftwerk by my venture scout leader when I was 17, haven't looked back! Depeche Mode, New Order, Blancmange, Erasure, Thomas Dolby, Chvrches, Vile Electrodes and more.

Although I consider myself primarily a guitar player, I also have just one or two synths in my living room

Some excellent stuff there,

Went to a Vitalic gig with loads of Ed Banger peeps supporting at Manchester Warehouse event around '09. Bloody stunning gig. Vitalic was brutal, his first 2 albums are classics imho.

Loved electronic music from when I first heard Walter/Wendy Carlos' opening track to A Clockwork Orange on the radio. First single I ever bought was Being Boiled by the Human League.

I appreciate all types, from Stockhausen to Synthpop, but really like experimental stuff.

There are very few tekno lps where the whole album is awesome. LFO's first album is one of them

I was on a ferry once and got chatting to this rasta dude. He dropped that he had produced a bit of tekno back in the day and I immediately got curious. He said I'd probably never heard of him. Turns out he was one of Forgemasters (warp records). He was chuffed when I immediately told him the name of his track and said it was one of my favourite releases on warp

Mrs hates it,

I've loved it since way back in my school days.

Always listened to Dutch Hardcore as well as Italian too

So now it's mostly mainstream and early Hardcore I listen to and maybe some hard style for some easy listening.
