I'm looking for some new music to listen to. I'm into pretty much anything. Would appreciate a few pointers. What's the best new song you've heard in the last few months? All help appreciated. Cheers.

I like away from here - The enemy

Or anything by them in fact.


If you dont already own it get Starlight by Muse...crackingly good.
Try some staff by The Twang.

Or a band called Satelite State. (They have a myspace page).

At the moment, the names of any of their songs escapes me.
Just listen to the charts, quite a variety

Funky ass breakbeat?

Heaven help us lol
I'd recommend

http://www.pandora.com/

You put in a track or band you like, and it comes up with a playlist. You'll soon hear lots of great bands you were unaware of.

Listen to M Ward, he is brilliant. The album Transistor Radio has some ace songs on it.

http://www.myspace.com/mward

One of his best is Four Hours In Washington which is amazing, but unfortuneatley not on his myspace.
Like Spiderpig, I suggest Pandora, an online radio station that tries to play music YOU like.

A group of people have put together a database of thousands of artists and their musical styles. It has then put links in the database to say if you like artist X you may also like artist Y.

You go into Pandora and put the name of an artist, it plays a track by them, then plays a track by somebody LIKE them, then another track by somebody like THEM and so on.

If you dont like a track you can click on a button to say so, and it wont play the track again, that way it learns from your likes and dislikes.

It keeps playing forever until you close the web site.

It is a great way to learn about new bands or artists.

btw It says it is only for people in the US, but when you register just "make up" a zip code like 12345 and it will let you register.
Come on though funky ass breakbeat

Why cant you just call it dance lol
omg because there are so many different types of dance music. Goooddddd.

There are even sub divisions of divisions ie Trance, goa trance, psy trance, acid trance, morning trance etc etc

Funky ass breakbeat covers Soul of Man's music quite nicely.

Get with it daddio.....................lol
Earsugar it was tongue in cheek lol

So please explain the different types of trance....
Plus what is the difference between say dance and trance

How would you describe breakbeat?
i know mate.

The differences are in the bpm and the production styles, listen to the kind of trance that Paul Van Dyke or tiesto plays and compare it to psy trance. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwNGlD7sOFw) as an example.

Breakbeat is a different style all together, slower, more bassline, grittier if you like.

check Soul of man on www.juno.co.uk.

trance is form of dance music, if you imagine an organisational chart dance is at the top with offshoots for all the specific genres, techno, trance, house, breaks etc and then they all have divisions, disco house, tech house, scouse house.

I could go on..............lol
I aint thick I mean I DJ every week lol and do play a fair bit of chart and dancey stuff but I find all of these different types of what I basically think of a dance bewildering lol.

I mean you can easily differentiate rock/ska/motown/glam/reggae etc but "dance" just seems mad.

I hear someone the other day doing on about tight beats lol as opposed to what? loose beats? How can a beat be tight? lol



So you havent sampled the delights of a dance floor going off at 5am when the tight beats drop?

Joking aside, it is ace, I love it.

lol
Question Author
i love the debate! I actually saw soul of man a few weeks back. fantastic! you've got to love the breaks.

i think of myself as pretty up to date with most "dance" music but the number of sub genres popping up these days is unreal! you can pretty much put any word in front of "house" and get away with it...

funky house
deep house
tech house
jacking house
vocal house
acid house
x ray house
three bedroom house
plague house
blue house
fiona house

(i may have made a few of those up...)
A one off track, but I currently love...

Wonderful Life

Tina Cousin

Ballad mix off iTunes
But how can a beat be tight lol

Surely a beat is a beat?

Im off 4 a lie down
