I'm interested in hearing examples of different genres of electronic music, so I thought I'd make a fun thread to hear some songs that might inspire me / others. It doesn't have to be obscure and rare, it's fine to recommend famous tracks or popular genres. I just want to hear tracks that people believe defines a genre.

I'd like for the thread to work like this..

1. Pick a song you like and you feel is a good representation of a genre, and of course, say what genre it is.
2. Post a youtube video/audio link so we can hear it.
3. Use this as a reference https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_electronic_music_genres

So go on, recommend some stuff!

 

Vocal Trance. They don't make m like this anymore

 

EDM Trap

 

Trance (Original), the best track ever made. That's all what I gonna say.

 

Then make your own:-

 

Bill Leeb and Rhys Fulber are incredible!

 

Hard Trance

 

Acid House

 

Since we are on a trance wave on this page:
Psychedelic Trance in the face of Tom Noise

 

This one is a classic!

 

more trance, strictly with headphone and closed eyes

Nothing wrong. In my country, Salento, years ago when people are bitten by taranta (a particular spider), began to dance to the beat of music and drums. This gave rise to the phenomenon called TARANTISMO, that you can see in the video. This is our tradition, and it's very very beautiful. Search on YouTube "Melpignano Notte Della Taranta", it is an incredible event. Watch it ;)"​
