BEFORE EDM THERE WAS EBM ๐
I am breathing electronic music since late 70s and that's over 44 years now. From Kraftwerk, Jean Michel Jarre, Mike Oldfield, Depeche Mode, Erasure, Yazoo, Alphaville, Men without Hats, Nitzer Ebb, Die Krupps, Front 242, Anne Clark, Camouflage, Gary Numan, OMD, Apopytygma Berzerk and even the Commodore 64 demo & break dance scene to more contemporary Electronic music artists, I witnessed the evolution of Electronic music, which basically means I am an old fart and consider myself an authority in this music genre ๐ต Currently I listen DnB almost exclusively. But I do not like to restrict myself at all, enjoying flavors like Electronica, Trance, Psytrance, Tech House, Dubstep, Deep House, Future Pop, Trap, Techno, UK Bass and of course EBM/Industrial as well.
What you will find in my likes and playlists is the top of the crop in Electronic Music, I will absolutely not list any bullshit. A track I have not listed might be just that: Bullshit, just mediocre or an artistic gem which I have not discovered yet. I also uploaded some tracks which I thought were missing in Soundcloud but shouldn't be missed out.
I hope you will enjoy the journey like I did so far.
My list is of course not complete and my journey to Electro Heaven still continues ;)
WARNING: Most of my listed songs are not suited for dancing because I don't choose my tracks according to their compatibility with the dancefloor or the artist's popularity ranking (i did not list a single song/remix of teen-favorites like Madonna, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Sia, Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber, Scooter, Die Antwoort, etc , because we adults are not attracted by visual performances any more, but by musical artistry and mastery, aka what remains when all is distilled down to the core, sorry to disappoint you ;)). I have strict criteria like originality, ingenuity and passion and love the artist has put into the song. If it has a genuine melody/vibe, seethes with artistic devotion and has over-the-top vocals it's definitely a plus. Ad hoc compositions for the sake of loud noise or a quick buck I definitely will not list here.
FINAL NOTE: My playlists are exquisite, World Class and a treasure trove for every serious DJ out there ;)
