hey if you are looking into hearing some phat break beats Simply Jeff's new
album out on Moonshine is supposedly bangin... I personally enjoy hard house
more than any other techno but have a collection that ranges from trance to
drum and bass to happy hardcore and back around again.. I really get into some
good deep GOA when I am in the mood... Well, hope this helps anyone looking
for a good CD it was recommended to me by a DJ friend in NC who has a record
coming out soon... I'll let you know how good it is. His name is DJ Freezah
Well, enjoy your partying kids.. Take care.

energy drinks? heh, not the usual drug of choice for techno, but hey, ill try
anything once. :) techno is my coffee, i jam it in the morning to work.
"welcome to the asphalt jungle, where our muses make the game. do you wanna
come along? do you wanna play? cmon baby ill send you down deep into the
underground....." somehow its seems like when i used to listen to techno,
water was a preferred drink. lights? my place has a laser light hooked to
the stereo, blacklight, lightning plate, and DVDs with graphics to techno
music. and i only have a 1 bedroom small apartment, which makes the cordless
headphones for those late nights of light and sound seem perfect.

I am ll about some Trance. MY favorite Trance dj is a US local, Christopher
Lawrence, who I've seen twice (well I kinda saw him the first time, actually
about 3 of him ). My favorite track to date is a tie between Chris Lawrence's
"Renegade" and the Pimpkin Club's "Mekong". As of late I am becoming very
bored with the new electronic music coming out. It doesn't matter if it is
euro, house, it just isn't very inovative. A lot of new stuff that is coming
out and seems to be the new "popular" genre is electro. I like electro, but
most of the stuff I am hearing is minimal electro which is just band music
in my opinion. I also write my own music and have an E.P. which I am
circulating locally (as if that many ppl in my part of the south even listen
to electronic music). I will be working on my follow up shortly, where I am
in talks with a small record labbel out of Starkville, MS. My new stuff is
going to be influeneced by a lot of strange things, namely 90's grunge/punk.
Weird huh. Well gotta to go. Keep dancing.

hi - saw the question about hard house and i couldn't resist. i spin hard
house in the baltimore area, but i also like techno, jungle, straight (and
gay hahahhaha) house and a whole bunch of others, and yes i detest happy
hardcore as being a candy kid's nightmare they forced on the rest of us :)
one has to differentiate between U.S. hard house and U.K. hard house. in my
opinion U.K. hard house is a lot more mature and better to listen to, it's
a touch slower and more rhythmical and less bass happy, but then i could be
prejudiced here :). some good U.S. hard house people - bad boy bill (already
mentioned), dj venom, dj irene (she has two really good cd's you should check
out), and bubblehedz is pretty good as well. as for U.K. hard house, the
queen of all the hard house dj's is lisa lashes (She rocks!) but also check
out anne savage, bk, fergie, andy farley and lee haslem. all of this used
to be on audiogalaxy (R.I.P.!!) but probably could all be found on kazaa as
well. before anyone starts screaming about copyrights and paying the artists,
almost all of the downloadable tracks are from live shows, which aren't even
available on cd and are usually a lot better. if you're going to start with
any of them, download lisa lashes' "live on slam fm" part one is better than
part two but they are both awesome.
progressive house is pretty good as well, check out mauro picotto and deep
dish (they're a bit slower). dj dan is probably my thrd favorite dj and has
some of the best cd's, he's from chicago, as well as green velvet/dj kashmir
who is either from chicago or detroit, but he is interesting because he sings
LIVE it's quite amazing to see.
if you want a good place to listen to this stuff, try the following links:
BBC Radio 1 is probably the best:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/dance
they have shows from a number of good dj's - check out fergie's show, judge
jules' show and of course the essential mix (with pete tong)
ministry of sound radio is also great:
http://www.ministryofsound.com/music/radio
both of the above links are from the UK. they also will tell you track
listings, so you can get to know what you like and actually tell which songs
are done by who.. this is good for dj's like me who get to listen while at
work (this is a new thing having internet access at work :) happy happy!) and
write down any slamming songs i hear during the day, bad thing is that they're
hard to find since a lot of them are uk only.
anyways happy listening!
