Hey, all. I've been looking through the threads, and I haven't seen a whole lot of interest in Electronic Dance Music. Do we have any EDM fans, here? I for one am a fan, and I think I'm in love!

Right now, I've really attached myself to two genres. The first genre is hardcore, and it was hardcore that got me interested in EDM in the first place. I used to be a huge punk rocker, and I loved the driving beats and guitars of all sorts of punk. When I first started to look in to EDM, I discovered the subgenre "Hardcore Techno," which is the fastest of all subgenres of EDM, I think, at BPM's as high as 180 - 200 BPM at times! Its driving beat and crazy-fast pace really atracted me. Some of my favorite Hardcore artists such as Hixxy, Breeze and Styles, Scott Brown, Vinylgroover, etc. My all-time favorites are Sy and Unknown....a wonderful duo!

My second favorite subgrenre of EDM is "Goa Trance," also called "Psychedelic Trance" or just "Psy Trance." It's essentially an experimental form of trance with big emphasis on crazy sound effects, a very funky bassline, and a whole lot of syncopation. I'm not a huge music nerd, so I can't describe all of the technical aspects of Goa Trance...but it does indeed have a very distinct sound. My favorite Goa/Psy Trance artists are Infected Mushroom, Shpongle, Hallucinogen, and Alien Project.

So any EDM fans or producers here? What are your favorite subgenres and artist?
