I'm always trying to expand my electronica horizons and a lot of you on this thread are a very knowledgeable bunch. In the past I've got some great suggestions from here so give me ten of your favourite tracks, past and/or present. They can be techno, house, drum & bass, happy hardcore, ambient glitch, whatever! I'm just happy to listen to the bleeps that make you tick. They don't have to be YouTube links cos that'll clog up the thread, just list em out...

personally atm i’m really digging acidy tracks and recently picked up an absolute amazing roy of the ravers EP

 

the best track is: roy of the ravers - 1999

it’s a real show stopper of a track

 

another classic by him is emotinium, on youtube search ceephax acid crew - emotinium (roy of the ravers secret mix)

probably my all time fave piece of electronic music

Ill do 10, of a few different genres, which have been big for me in my clubbing life. I havent been to a hard house event in years, but Ive put one in the list.

None will be that new....

Deux - Sun Rising Up

Plastic Boy - Silver Bath.

Quench - Dreams

Marco V - Godd

Dustin Zahn - Stranger to Stability (Len Faki mix)

Octave 1 - Blackwater (full strings vocal mix)

Carl Cox - Room 713

Layo and Bushwacka - Let the good times Roll

Amelie Lens - Contradiction

Flashheadz - Promised Land 

These are not my favourites... but the first 10 that I could think of which have been influential for me

Nice bit of euphoric acid, thanks for the recommendation.

Gimme your ten favourites from all genres.

I'll be honest I'm not clued up on genre's enough I just like what I like so the genres may be wrong - it's also impossible to do a top 10 list really but these are tunes that I've been playing a lot recently from all genres of electronic music spectrum I guess - hope you like a couple pal
 

Disco: Marlena Shaw - Touch me in the morning (Disco Mix)
techno: Objekt - CLK Recovery
Electro: Illektrolab - I am illektro
dnb: Double 99 - ripgroove (fixrate mix)
no idea on this genre probs weird techno?: Pearson Sound - XLB
acid: Roy of the ravers - emotinium
House: Paul Johnson - so much (so much mix)
garage(ish): Oi! Nutter!! - original nutter (rudeboy speed garage mix)
hardcore/breaks : kreggo textash - the definitive hardcore anthem
House/Techno: Fatima Yamaha - Whats a girl to do (overplayed to fuck but will always have to list it as fave tunes)

Just got back from Massive Attack at Steel Yard/Filton Airfield (is it the same Steelyard they use for Creamfields, Prydz live etc?).

Loved it! So much power in some of those tunes.

Mezzanine isn't my favourite album of theirs so it did drag a tiny bit at points, but nothing major. The imagery and visuals are also a bit A Level Philosophy "consumerism is bad", but all in all a great night out.

They play a bit of Avicii - Levels at one point near the end, and flash something about Adidas up on screen? Fuck knows what it was about but it sounded banging on that soundsystem tbh, so I think their intention was lost haha.

Then again they had an actual Cocteau Twin with them so that's unbeatable.

Horace Andy doing See a Man's Face as well, OOOOFTTT.

See a Man's Face is such a good song.  Was a pretty damn good gig, but shame the people behind me were talking loads. I should have bit their noses off but I'm a pacifist xxxxx

Aye we had to move cause there were absolutely fucked people just ruining it for us!

I mean I love a party favour as much as the next guy, but I think boshing them at Massive Attack whilst images of refugees and war flash up on screen might send me the wrong way.

In my case, I wouldn't mind if they were sharing, but otherwise they can fuck off. Felt a bit too sobre for the gig tbh; should have had a true Bristol experience and done spice

    • No worries, it's a perfectly fair question to ask. I would expect people to be talking at the back & near the bars & that is where I would want them to be talking. If your group are enjoying yourselves & the music & briefly chatting to say how much you are loving a certain song etc, you would be an ideal group to stand behind.   My issue is with people having full blown conversations (usually unrelated what is on the stage) whilst being surrounded by people who are trying to listen to the music. This was happening in the middle and towards the front of all stages, & so you have limited options to move around & you may have spent 20 minutes waiting for the band trying to get the closest position that you can. If there's a group of 8 people, there may be 2 or 3 that like the band & the rest will start talking if the music isn't their thing. This may be the norm now for festivals, and if it is, that's ok & I will focus on a band's own gigs & UK based new music festivals.    I'm also not including consequences of my own decision making. I saw Geese on Wednesday so went to Occident after Men I Trust finished so it was understandable there would be chatting that far back. Similarly, getting to The XX after Olivia Rodrigo along with most of the site, I knew my chance of a good spot & a chat-free zone had gone so that was completely reasonable.   PS. I went to Bilbao BBK in 2023 & 2025 & enjoyed it. For Pulp & Kylie in 2025, I got a position early & was surrounded by a respectful & fun crowd for both. The UK non-headlining bands tend to go on the undercover 3rd stage, & most people like to congregate outside so you can usually get close to the front of that stage.   
    • Interview on 6 music earlier, was going to get the album to have a listen, but comes out the day they play the festival
