Ishkur's Guide to Electronic Music
The dizzying array of countless electronic dance music genres can be overwhelming and confusing, especially for a newbie, but even for a seasoned EDM fan. Ishkur's Guide to Electronic Music tracks the history of house, trance, techno, breakbeat, jungle, hardcore, and downtempo in an easy to read chart with humorous, candid descriptions and explanations, including iconic musical examples. Our very own Miguel Migs made the chart under the deep house sub-genre with his track "Petalpushing." Although the last few years of musical evolution haven't been added yet, this site gives the best comprehensive and interactive guide to electronic music history anywhere on the web. We've featured this site before, but they've updated recently with a brand new tutorial we thought you might like to read. Now whenever you hear a critic of dance music say "it all just sounds the same," you'll have an arsenal of info to prove them wrong! link More Info (EB)
