Community Promo

I wanted to share some electronic music communities across Lemmy. While a lot of them are small and honestly across all communities there are maybe ~10 regular posters, we do have a solid core that will hopefully grow in line with people switching to the Fediverse.

!housemusic@lemmy.world - If you don't have much exposure to electronic music, house is a good place to start. It includes influences from US disco and many mainstream tracks have been influenced by house music. Modjo - Lady (Hear Me Tonight)

!deephouse@discuss.tchncs.de - Deep house is the more introverted and psychedelic variant of its more popular cousin. That being said, Deep house has a more down to earth feel than many other EDM genres that lean towards psychedelia. 1 800 GIRLS - U, Me and Madonna

!drumandbass@lemmy.world - An intense dancefloor genre, but also offers a surprising breadth of sub-styles that vary from dark dancefloor music to an almost dance-pop sound (liquid, iD&B). Its jungle cousin (!jungle@lemmy.world) is influenced by reggae and dub music. Omni Trio - First Contact

!dubstep@lemmy.dbzer0.com - It's all about the bass. Some niche/underground stuff offers a unique take on the standard dubstep formula. Kahn - Like We Used To

!ukgarage@lemmy.world - The underground "prototype" of dubstep. Tends to have a more raw and freeform feel relative to dubstep. You can definitely see the connection to dubstep, but UK garage has its own vibe. Cellardore X Mind of a Dragon - Freedom

!trance_music@lemmy.world - IMO trance is one of those live genres (and I say this as someone who mostly listens to trance music at home). It's such a great experience to be flying high with hundreds (thousands?) of other people during a banging live trance mixset. Binary Finary - 1998 (Original Mix)

!idm@lemm.ee - Home listening electronic music focused on "in your head" soundscapes and a contemplative mood. Perfect for when you want something relaxed, but unique, for a rainy evening. Boards of Canada - Aquarius

!progressivehouse@lemmy.world - It's about the sound and feel. You "progress" through the track. More of a style than a genre that reflects 90s and early to mid 2000s production sensibilities. Highly influential with a big impact on other genres and even mainstream music. Best to just hear it: Nathan Fake - The Sky Was Pink (James Holden remix).

!psytrance_djs@lemmy.world - Fly from the beaches of goa to underground electronic music clubs. A dancefloor genre that reflects the psychedelic experience. You might end up hearing quotes (samples) from Ken Kesey, Albert Hoffman and Terence McKenna in a lot of the tracks. Shpongle - Star Shpongled Banner

!acid_techno@lemmy.world - I enjoy Acid Techno, but I will admit that at this point this is more of retro genre that reflects an early 90s sounds that served as a prototype for everything that came after it. 808 State - Disco State
