[The Voyeur]

Techno that got stoned on some good ism?

[amy]

add a little jism into the mix and you got it :p

[The Voyeur]

So electro is techno that got some jism in it?

Is that like when Q-tip says "what is a poet all balls no cock?" So would techno have no cock or would that be electro.

Anyway, I like em both whatever they are.

[amy]

i just felt like saying "jism" :(

go get the new luomo record, you will like it :p

Me no likey electro. It's way too 80s synthy for me, and not enough BOOM BOOM BOOM. I still find it hard to believe that Hawtin plays it.

I'll try it again, but I'm not promising anything. It's sounded pretty universally shitty to me in the past.

Thanks for the links, though! Can't wait to get to a computer with a sound card. :D

Electro is techno that got castrated but still somehow managed to mate with a Casio keyboard to make a butt ugly disaster of a child...

Just avoid it at all costs...

And if your hair even REMOTELY starts to look like a mullet cut that shit off.

that's electroclash

electro is techno that not only smoked some ism, it chugged a colt 45, grabbed a glock, and hopped in a low rider

Electro is just futuristic electronic Funk with a break beat....Funk was on the ism, but Electro smoked some laced shit.

Drexciya, Dopplereffekt, Lab Rat XL, Glass Domain, Rutherford, Ultradyne, Ectomorph, Rother, Cybotron/Model500, Mantronix, Afrikaa Bambaataa, I-F, Aux 88, Man Parrish...that be the good shit.

WHoah!
Where has everyone been?

A lot of the Techno DJ's have been spinning electro for years already. Hawtin is not the first to do so

[Maudib]

"I am electro..
My brain…is bigger..than yours."

BTW: Electro does not = electro-Clash.
Though electro-clash DOES = a good sense of humor
+ a sense of tongue in cheek "irony". (somethin many
people lack or just don’t get).

Definitely true. Dave Clarke has been doing it forever. I think it's gotten a lot more attention lately b/c electro has become such a big thing in its own right - esp electro clash.

Longevity, however, doesn't make it good. ;)

[bradley rose]

in the 80's there was new wave... then electro spawned from that... then techno spawned from electro. electro is definately worth giving a listen. everything always goes full circle over time.

[PJay]

BULLSH:T !!!!!!

STOP.


(hammertime).


no SERIOUSLY.....this is killing me like nails on a blackboard....

please refer to the above diagram about the BD HH X---X---X---X--- etc etc. electro is a very easily define genre of music. it is not some sort of ill-defined vocab or ambiguous color.

check it: its like when you have one of those old casio keyboards with button A for samba and button B for waltz or whatever on them. electro and techno are based on different simple underlying beats. the BD mean bass drum aka kick drum aka the low bass pulse of the music. if you stick you fingers in your ears you will still hear the kick drum. if its techno or house you will have a "four-four" kick drum or some slight variation on that theme. thats if you count 1-2-3-4 along with the music over and over again. the snare drum the high-hats the rest really doesnt matter, its the 4-4 that makes it techno/house.

electro on the other hand, very similar to hip hop, drum&base, and booty-music, goes like this with the kick and the snare drum (kyi the snare is that sharp high sound of a military drum or a drumroll). stomp you foot (kick) and clap (same as snare) your hands along please:

kick - clap - kick - kick - clap

you just made electro.

now you can also count 1-2-3-4 with electro too, have you friend go "shhhhhhhhh-shhhhhhhhh-shhhhhhhhh-shhhhhhhhh" juuuuuust a little before each number.....but notice that only the 1 lines up and the rest of the kicking and claping goes just before or after the 2-3-4 but not exactly on it.

now have another friend go "hibby hibby hibby hawwwwwww" and another go "chukkachukka chukkachukka" and send a casette tape of it please to: STOP ABUSING THE TERM ELECTRO, p.o. box 808, nyny 10011



also for the record: i have NEVER heard hawtin play an electro record (well last time at avalon he did play one and i was surprised, but then it seemed like he had miscued the wrong track or something outta finalscratch) he sets are extremely 4-4. again, see the diagram above.




and yes its entirely possible to mix the two together in one song, so a song could be made with bits from each, and i kinda like tracks like that, blah blah blah, and electro has the whole sci-fi thing about it and there are other defining characteristics of both forms, BUT most track are usually clearly one or the other.


thank you, carry on...

[PJay]

If you can't break dance to it, it's not electro.

pop and lock !! pop and lock !!

I remember booking Ms Kittin in 1996; I was in college in france and she was relatively unknown (she was just starting to make some noise overthere).......... we hated her coz she played 1/2h of electro in the middle of a techno night !!!!!!!!

pt - so what's the difference between electro and electro-clash? In my (admittedly limited) experience, EC just sucks a lot more than electro. But I'm presuming there's some more technical difference. :nice:

LOL...Hey man to each his-her
own..I know sum catz up here
that dig this shit called "Comerciale"
that makes my skin crawl and me grind
my teeth (In a bad way that is)

Think of it this way;
In movie terms "electro"
would be "TRON" or an old
breakdancing flick.

Da CLASH STUFF would be;
"Liquid Sky"(the movie)
or a John Waters flick.

I remember someone telling me this story about how Miss Kitten started djing (I don't know if it's true or not): Her and her b/f are at home hangin out. Her b/f is playing mixing some records. Kitten says "Why don't you mix like this/that?", and her b/f replies: "If you know it that well, why don't you come mix yourself?".. And she gets on the decks..... It turns out she has some good ideas there :)
Cheesy story, but fun to hear and tell :nice:

Ok, listening to this ... I am filing this under breakbeat. Cause (when you get down to it) thats what most of this set is. Very electro sounding breakbeat.

Assuming this stuff came first, I can see where central FL breakbeat producers picked up thier style.

i got electro that will BASS harder than anything you can bring to the table...it all aint beverly hills cop jism

Copied a Billy Nasty electro set off Ben when he was over, and it's like the first electro I've ever liked.....

Can be good, but it makes me think of Electroklash too readily I think.

ummm...i beg to differ...

I have heard hawtin play electro, dub, electroclash...and some of the most fucked up breaks [jack dangers] ever

back when Richie really cared about DJing and would rock 3 sometimes 4 turntables with Aquaviva for 10 hrs...and John wouldn't play pussy ass disco house...ahh Simons circa '94
