Crystle Castles and Elijah Wood.
I saw Crystal Castles on New Years Eve last year (not this past NYE, but the one before that) and was b l o w n away. So fun live. The opening acts were god awful, especially Midnight Conspiracy (I'm pretty sure that's what they were called), were on past midnight (leaving CC with 45 mins to play, as the headliners) and almost caused me to leave. I'm glad I stayed, though. Had a beer with them afterwards, really nice people.
So, this is going to be epic. Robert Hood + Blawan + Pursuit Grooves... for free, and free beer. Yes.

After 7 years, Death In Vegas are BACK!
Death In Vegas - Your Loft, My Acid
Wait till it all kicks in, by the end of the 7 minutes you should be quite happy. Really, really good and best thing I've heard in a while as well as the most original. Beautiful stuff.
Total drug-music!*

Good call! I live in Southsea, love the artists that do these things in the Wedge.
I remember seeing Dreadzone for a one-off there last year.

I think this track is a drug in itself! One of my DJ mates texted me last night saying he felt like he was tripping playing it and he hadn't done anything
Love the multilayered repeating vocals and how the words seem to keep changing as you are listening to it.
I can feel the bass, the bass, the bass ...

Anyone have any suggestions for house music like Maya Jane and Black Coffee?
Im pretty new to it all and to think that Daft Punk falls under the same category makes it even more confusing for me!

Well I meant house music in general.
Maya Jane and Black coffee are the the only House producers/Djs I know of (so far) that I like but then if Daft punk falls under house (or French house according to wiki) then I really have no idea where to start with it all.
The dubstep track is because I like it, it has no real relevance to what I was after just people post alot but dont put up any music that's all.
Edit: Im not trying to split hairs over "london house" and "house" its still House music to me overall and they sound pretty similar to me.
If you said I want Dubstep like Benga I would say Kode 9/Skream/Coki if you said Dubstep like Skrillex I would say Doctor P, Flux Pavillion, Zomboy becasue they are clearly very different to me.
Not sure if that makes in any clearer mind you..
If you like Maya Jane Coles, check out Seth Troxler, Lee Foss, Heidi, Dyed Soundorom, Seuil, and Nicolas Jaar.
I don't know anything about Black Coffee but apparently he does afrobeat inspired stuff? Try searching for the genre "Kwaito" (DJ Mujava being a well known name in the scene... I don't know anything at all about the genre but it's like an afrobeat/house hybrid), or some early Masters at Work.

Friend recommended Pictureplane to me today, and I'm addicted to this new album. It's got a lot of off-tempo stuff and a lot of video game/tron type sounds.
Pictureplane - Post Physical
Pictureplane - Sex Mechanism
Pictureplane - Techno Fetish
Before I was listening to an Opiuo album, which was extremely bass heavy, really fun as well.

Looks a bit like the Gathering of the Juggalos picture with all the fatties (one of them in particular looks like my ex who has recently ballooned in weight
)... looks like the Cobrasnake was just cherry-picking people to shoot. When I'm hitting up the festivals (Electric Zoo and Ultra Music Festival in particular), it's a mixture of guidos, regular preppy/nerdy college/postcollege kids, lots of cute girls, and the occasional person who still does the candykid attire.Patrick Bateman

I do like that but not live.. Dirtyphonics have a good remix of it.Patrick Bateman said:
Saw Braille spin for free on Thursday night. It was a vaguely-advertised gig, so it was pretty empty, maybe 30 people tops... He started off great and then went downhill after about 30 mins. Lame! He's normally a fantastic DJ, but this set was pretty bad.
The good news is my friend who threw the party introduced me to the booking agent at National Underground, so I'm going to be doing an opening set there in the next few weeks! I'll hook up the details as soon as I get them!

Saw Aphex Twin last night. Didn't really know what to expect. I'm not the biggest fan, but I have obviously listened to a lot of his music during the 90s, never seen him live before.
He played the most insane acid for 2 hours, felt like having my head blown off. Can't really say wether it was a postive or negative aural experience, but it defintely was an experience.
The visuals were pretty nice though. They had a face detecting camera, so while recording the audience people would have Aphex's ugly face on them on the big screen. Adding some trippy effects made it pretty awesome. The best part was when they put his face on famous Danish people(the concert was in Copenhagen) including members of the monarchy.

That's awesome. I had no idea Aphex Twin was still going. Windowlicker is a classic tune though, would kill to hear that live.

Damn I am jealous about the Aphex Twin, sounds like nonstop intensity. Though I'd prefer a non-rave setting.

Ok, since I have two posts already, going to monopolize once more then get out of the way.
I had a discussion with a few of you awhile back about the loads of dj mixes instead of actual productions. I'm still not following a lot of djs and as always looking for new music. I usually drop as many artists as I can into Amazon to look for like artists and I've definitely hit a dead end.
I guess even though I've been listening to electronic for years, I'm still unsure of specific genres.
Can someone help me out with some genre tags and lables for the following, so I can narrow my search?
Royksopp
Crystal Castles
Ratatat
Boards of Canada
Lemon Jelly
Kiln
Lusine
Daft Punk
Tycho
Air
Baths
Four Tet
Digitalism
Simian Mobile Disco
Thunderball
I try and follow the numerous track listings posted here, but I can rarely find actual produced music on Amazon from those artists. Hopefully someone can earn their electro wings and push me in a couple of right directions.
