Re: Armenian electronic music

How about these? Is that what you are looking for something completely different?

Re: Armenian electronic music

Take no offense but these trance tracks really are not of much interest to me. While I do appreciate it in the sense that it can be a great gateway into electronic music, but after a while it gets old. And while I do wish success to these people mixing Armenian samples/vocals into it, it really isn't something I would listen to much.

What I am interested in hearing is something that is original, something that is electronic while still being very much Armenian. It's asking quite a bit, and perhaps we are a bit early in time to be asking for such a musical work, but one can dream. I do think that there are some musicians that have made great strides towards this Ara Gevorkyan, Arto Tuncboyaciyan to name a few (of the very few). I do hope that the few Armenian musicians pushing the envelope beyond pop music, keep doing so. With time electronic instruments should make their way into the music, I am just a bit impatient .

None taken, and I do agree with the last paragraph, but I also want to see an Armenian dj/producer become as big as Tiesto or Armin. I know you don't like trance or house, but those are my two favorite styles and the most popular worldwide, so it would be good exposure for an Armenian to make in big in that genre.

Re: Armenian electronic music

I've got nothing against house.

I've got nothing against house.

Wait, so house is ok, but not trance? I could understand progressive house, but just plain house is nothing more than a cheap remix of some r&b song.
Of course I am generalizing, but none the less I think more talent goes into making a trance track.

House is good fun, sure there is maybe a bit cheese to it, buts its all done in the name of having fun and dancing. Trance is serious business, just the whole sound makes itself to be something more serious, but its still cheese. It sounds as though there is some meaning behind it, but the problem is that their is always the same underlying meaning behind every trance track and yes it makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. You know what they say; good trance is bad techno. If you want meaning behind music look to techno.

Good house requires allot to get right, I don't have much of a collection of house music, but I will upload for you some house tunes.

Re: Armenian electronic music

What are some house artists that you would recommend?

And since you are into techno, do you like scooter?

Re: Armenian electronic music

I really am not the person to ask for house recommendations, I don't listen to the genre too much. But some of the music posted earlier was tech-house. GU Moscow by Deep Dish is house and pretty enjoyable mix, also try Hippe and Halo Fabric 07. Also you can try using a website like discogs.com to find these mixes and from there you can find allot more music.

I don't know what scooter is. I like acid-techno, minimal techno, tech-house, and also do enjoy allot of the earlier techno (like kraftwerk). Do get that slsk client, its a great way to find new music. I know both me and ari here are on it. Also you can try to looking on some online blogs, like idmtrade for example and narrow down whats displayed to house or techno. But I do think like stated before your music taste differs from mine, lately I've been listening to allot of slower paced music.

sure, try the releases by global underground, my favorites are; moscow by deep dish, romania by james lavelle, shanghai by nick warren, singapore by darren emerson, 24:7 by lee burridge, and nubreed by lee burridge, also steve lawler has some mixes on global underground which are good. I don't know if you listened to from the bunker a mix by andrew weatherall (it was on my first upload) but that is one of my favorite dj mixes, it is a really unique flavor. Also james zabiella has some great dj mixes out there, one he did for essential mix, and he released utilites which was pretty good.
