Intelligent House / Rave / Whatever.

[Nerf]

Basically, lately I'm really digging house, techno, dance, whatever the fuck you call the music. I dunno. On my playlist have been a lot of the following: Benny Benassi, Nine Inch Nails, Beastie Boys, Fatboy Slim, Aphex Twin, Prodigy. So yeah, I'm listening to a lot of experimental, electronica, industrial and shit, and wanna be recommended more to kick the phase in right now. I'm really having a lot of fun with this sort of shit so go nuts.

Underworld. Nothing needed but Underworld. Just stay away from shit like Happy Hardcore and DJ Hixxy because it will eat away at your soul.

[Nerf]

Yeah, that kind of modern shit that's popular around the UK is what I'm trying to avoid.

My brother's into a shit load of crazy drum & bass/electro music, but his light's off, so I'll ask him about stuff tomorrow.

My comment for this topic is... if you've heard one Benny Benassi song, you've heard them all. Nearly all tracks from there sound very similar to each other.

Pendulum is drum n' bass for winners.

I second Squarepusher. He uses jazz timings for one, that's intelligent. And he plays bass like a fucking maniac.

Then there's Pendulum, the Prodigy, Aphex Twin, DJ Shadow, Bjork and Air (though the last two are more electronica, they deserve a mention).

There's a good reason I consider fineintent to have one of the best music tastes on EWB. That post is testament to my reasoning.

I'd just be wary of Venetian Snares. They sound like your nightmares.

[Nerf]

hopeless pursuit of remission by venetian snares is horrible.

Spot fucking on.

Yeah, I'm not huge on dance (well, I like it, but I'm shit with names), but Pendulum are spot on.

Add most of James Lavelle's DJ stuff, which is usually pretty good.

Neither of those are overwhelmingly electronica/industrial/experimental though.
