Alot of new electronic tracks are pieced together over months, some can be banged out in maybe a few days. Heard alot of interviews over the XM radio with producers/dj's. Their remixs they may do in a short amount of time, their own tracks, they labor over. Electronic equipment is no easier to use than a guitar. Nearly anyone can play a guitar, not everyone can write/create songs which have appeal. You can have all the best equipment in the world with any sample known to man, if you cant piece it together it doesn't matter.
As much as this dates me, all that shit sounds the same to me.
Computers do not make music. People do. With instruments.
And don't get me started on that auto-tune bullshit...

Lee Perry and King Tubby! Hank knows his stuff. Tubby invented the 'remix' in the early seventies. Electronic/dance/whatever would be very different today if it weren't for him. It's safe to call dub 'electronic'.
"King Tubby truly understood sound in a scientific sense. He knew how the circuits worked and what the electrons did. That's why he could do what he did".

Well then, a classic "electronic" track. Augustus Pablo recorded a bunch of sessions with a great band and different singers, including his own melodica sounds (and released a number of reggae singles from them), then gave the tapes to King Tubby to screw with. This was an international hit in 1976:
Oooh perhaps we'll have to argue about books next! lol.
Yeah there's nothing like 14 year olds high and waving glowsticks in your face to make you want to stay home lol.I prefer seeing dj's in smaller more intimate venues that don't feel like an all ages rave.
If we're gonna talk dubstep, I'd take Bassnectar over Skrillex any day.....
Bassnectar's good stuff. This is gonna sound like such a hipster thing to say lol, but I liked dubstep before it was popular! Back when it was good. Then everybody and their cat started making it. You know something's dead when Justin Beiber does it lol.
I've got my tickets to this show, plus saw them last year as well. Wicked show. I'm usually at most good shows, minus the all age venue shows.
Problem is evening of E & C i'm raring to go, but its 0300-0500 and most girls aren't available at that time on my way home-lol

Victoria local Mathew Jonson produced this track in 2005 and it shot him to dizzying success on the the international rave circuit. He's been touring the world constantly since, playing live analog synths and drum machines in front of crowds that get up to the 20,000 people level. Last I heard he's getting paid 10,000 Euros a show, and sometimes doing upwards of 15 shows a month. This stuff is like the golf of the music world - theres actually money to be made. Buy your kid a drum machine and put em to work.
*No computers were used in the production here, besides the recording device. All true analog synthesizers, and as far as I know all from the early eighties. Might mean nothing to many, but it's a pretty important distinction within the culture.
