There are a lot of sub genres that fall under electronic music, granted a few are crap. The one that speaks to me most, is the one that I DJ and produce, House, more specifically Deep House.
Have a listen to two of my favorite producers in action here. Get blazed, get drunk and enjoy this East Coast Boogeymen remix of a Swirl People track. You always listen to House loud and with good bass.
House music is music for the soul.

Here's another favorite I always bring along with me. Jon Cutler is a great producer, but no so great behind the decks. Enjoy 'It is Yours'.

stefan said: hmm this minimal techno really doesn't do it for me (downlaoded the NYC set). Some parts that actually have a bassline are pretty groovy, but most of it isn't! The first 15 minutes would bore me to death on a dancefloor (and a lot of other parts too). maybe good as background sound for having conversations
it's also pretty slow for dance music, slow doesn't matter as long it's groovy and this isn't
maybe you can recommend some techno that I would like: uplifting and groovy with nice percussion! (no extremely minimal stuff like this that puts me into sleep (or = hypnotic lol )
When I'm at a techno party they start to play this kind of techno at the end, for a lot of people it's probably their fav late night techno, but I leave after 20 minutes when I have to force myself to dance (the music should MAKE me dance!)
Oh, I should of mentioned the fact that that set isnt a very 'get up and dance' set. Not all electronic music or techno is created for a dance/party setting. Alot of the stuff that I listen to isnt really appropiate for a dancing/club setting.
But, give that set a listen next time your tripping at home - I didnt really 'get' that set the first time I listented to it, then gave it a listen while on LSD and *WOW*, and well - I love it even when sober now.
But, that set is more of a 'sit down and listen' set, not a get up and party set.
However, here is more of a club/dance oriented set by Adam Beyer *link*
Its Minimal, but has a lot more 'bang' to it, and more club/dancefloor oriented.

*note: that Adam Beyer set, starts off minimal, and builds up into a nice banging set by the hour mark. Has me wanting to go out and party/dance right now

I have listened to atleast 60 percent of the suggestions in this thread so far, electronic music just isn't my thing. It doesn't have any swing, i find myself just getting bored of it after so many minutes go by

You know, for a long time I didnt like EDM either, I actually used to tease my sister all the time for being into it when I was in highschool
In highschool, I loved punk music and didnt have the attention span for songs longer than 3 minutes. *laugh*

What are your expectations...? Perhaps they are too high or inappropriate...? Sometimes its easier to 'get it' if you step outside of it all and let it come 'as it is', no politics. I am curious though, is any music at all 'your thing'...? I mean I see everyone falling over themselves making suggestions but there is no mention of what you listen to and what you see in it...? Perhaps it is us that are missing out and it is you that should make a suggestion...? Although odds are we have some friends here that are into some seriously analogue music too...
I think there is an undercurrent of disdain towards electronic music that we've inherited from the 1980's, which pollutes our receptivity. There was a time that even I swore never to listen to anything electronic and who can blame me, yeah right - I can be inspired by 'high-energy'. But things have seriously changed since then and I doubt it is reasonable to continue to be so discerning. People might guard against creating rules that in the end only interfere with helping themselves experience things mind expanding....
Ps: there are big fans of electronic music that also find Shpongle disagreeable, some find it more agreeable when they go it solo, from a group experience perspective Shpongle might be more of a distraction or a pain in the ass in general, its just waaaay too demanding - "Take me seriously or don?t take me".

you know, I didnt really get minimal until I listented to plastikman while in a k-hole.
I also didnt really 'get' house untill I heard it while rolling.
But now that I 'get' it - I enjoy it greatly, even while 100% sober

I'm sure minimal stuff will blow my mind while on K, but music should be good anyway when sober, without additives. Ofcoarse you need to listen carefully to and take the time for it to 'get' it, but some music just doesn't do it for everyone...

Oh, I love the music while sober also. Listening to it right now while 100% of clean mind
Obviously I enjoyed the music before - as I was listening to it prior to being in that state. However, after hearing it while in a hole, or while tripping, etc - has increased my appreation for the music.
While being in the alterted state - I noticed elements of the music I didnt notice before, and in a way has 'trained my ear' to listen to it kind of thing. I now notice elemnts of the music while in sober states which I did not hear or fully appreiate before.

What do people see in electronic music? As much as anybody sees in anything, depending on the person

Quite frankly, the following aggervate me - to the point of putting me into a bad mood and feel agitated/stressed.
- Classical Music (with few exceptions) - Most Reggae - "Classic" rock - Soft Rock - Smooth Jazz
Odly, most of those /tend/ to have a soothing and relaxing effect on people. For me, it bugs me to the point of almost physical distaste for the music.
I also have little to no interest in most forms of rock, metal, nu-metal, and their various subgenres.
I can kinda get what people see in them. However, all of the above also has great talent and amazing artists - I just happen to not like them
It always bugs me when people take the attitude of "Because I dont like it, it must suck". Just because I dont like or get a certian style of music, band, or artist doesnt mean I cant appreciate the talent that they have.
