Since around the mid-1980s, electronic dance music has enjoyed popularity in many nightclubs, and, as of 2006, is the predominant type of music played in discothèques as well as the rave scene.

As such, the related term club music, while broadly referring to whatever music genres are currently in vogue and associated with nightclubs, has, for some, become synonymous with all electronic dance music, or just those genres (or some subset thereof) that are typically played at mainstream discothèques.

It is sometimes used more broadly to encompass non-electronic music played at such venues, or electronic music that is not normally played at clubs but that shares attributes with music that is.

1. How did you get into 29? (Princess Superstar - 553)
I'm not sure. I've heard her song "Bad Babysitter" for the first time some years ago, but I've never payed much attention to her music untill recently.

2. What was the first song you ever heard by 22? (Santogold - 770)
"Les artistes", I suppose. French title was what attracted my attention.

3. What’s your favorite lyric by 33? (Epica joint with Eurythmics at #32, Epica reached this later - 536)
In fact, my favourite song of them is off vocals.

4. What is your favorite album by 49? (Xandria - 395)
I think that'd be "Kill the Sun", their debut.

5. How many albums by 13 do you own? (Lady Gaga - 1 002)
Well, she released only one and I'm the happy owner of its Polish edition.

6. What is your favorite song by 50? (Fleetwood Mac - 379)
"Little Lies" - the melody is somewhat happy, but the lyrics are not. I like contrasts.

7. Is there a song by 39 that makes you sad? (Emiliana Torrini - 478)

now before you purist hipsters get your panties in a twist, this is not meant to be an exhaustive cataloging of every awesome electronic record by every artist known to man.

neither does the partial absence of a discography intended as a slight to the remainder of the artists' body of work, nor to imply those albums are inferior to the ones found here.

this is simply a batch of albums that, if you like a few of the albums listed here, you're very likely to find more of interest from elsewhere on the list.

take it for what it is.


Clark: Turning Dragon
Emilie Simon: Vegetal, Emilie Simon
M83: Before The Dawn Heals Us, Saturdays=Youth, Dead Cities, Red Seas, Lost Ghosts, M83

As of late, I've kind of been in an electronic, funk, post-rock, instrumental, dance mood with some classic rock mixed in. Trying to take a break from all of the heavier stuff, but they still manage to find my playlists. Slowly, some decent old-school rap, classical, and 90's music has been making its way to my library again. I have managed to surpass where I was in terms of capacity before my hard drives failed a couple months ago, but I know I'm missing some important stuff. We'll see what happens in a month or so.

Also, I just found out about Ronald Jenkees yesterday from a friend. Some of his tracks are pretty wicked. I really enjoy Stay Crunchy. It is pretty much what I've been listening to the past month in a nutshell. Some really funky electronic stuff with a slick beat. Can't shake it.
