DU Group Proposal: Electronic music group.

[Moloch]

I would like to make a proposal for a group regarding Trance/House/Ambient/Breakbeat etc. music.

I love this music and listen to it all the time (and I mean all the time) and visit other online bulletin boards related to discussion of this type of music. It would be great to be able to do it on DU.

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

1. Cool idea !

I am all for it :) :hi: ;)

[jpgray]

2. You could call it the "Nnn-tss Group" for short.

:eyes:

:D

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

(n/t)

[Moloch]

[Blue-Jay]

9. Electronic Music = I can (sort of) play a keyboard.

[Moloch]

13. !

:kick:

[livinginphotographs]

14. I'm in.

You got my vote.

[sundog]

16. you guys gotta hear livinginphotograph's stuff

;)

[livinginphotographs]

23. :blush:

[Moloch]

15. Ok, great... Just need 3 more!

[New Earth]

17. only if

i can talk about VNV Nation all the time :D

[Moloch]

18. Who is VNV Nation?

If they're electronic, then you can talk about them all the time.

[New Earth]

19. yup they are

not instrumental though. actually some call them "ebm" or "future pop" rather than just 'electronic'. they are sooooooooooooo so so so good....their lyrics are incredible.

actually, if you click on my profile, and click on the myspace link, you can hear one of their songs (one of my favorites, and in my sig)

[Moloch]

20. Not bad at all!

n/t

[sundog]

21. c'mon electro dweebs... I know there's more of us here

:)

[Moloch]

22. Looks like we are 2 short.....

Oh well, I will kick it again tomorrow.

[livinginphotographs]

24. Kick and....

I'll PM my brother who posts on DU. He'll definitely be for it.

[jonnyblitz]

25. count me in.

as long as I dont have to make phone calls to recruit or ask for donations you can count me. :P :hi:

[Moloch]

26. Awesome!

Now we just have to wait for livinginphotograph's brother or someone else and we can start thinking up a mission statement!

[sundog]

27. I FEEL THE POWER!

:7

[asthmaticeog]

28. Serious question: does it have to be dance oriented?

The genres you've cited are all clubby music, but would fans of Walter/Wendy Carlos, Hugo Montenegro, Vladimir Ussaschevsky, Raymond Scott, all those sorts of things be included? What about fans of power-electronics groups like Whitehouse?

[sundog]

29. don't see why it should be

I dig a lot of electro-lounge music... that's not really shake your booty stuff... shouldn't necessarily be exclusive

[mitchum]

30. Count me in

[drumwolf]

31. I'd be up for it.

I love electronic music. I listen to it more than I listen to rock nowadays -- and I grew up on metal and punk rock.

[kaitykaity]

32. We have a group for this already.

Here's the electronic thread.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=293x93

[Moloch]

33. Yeah but that's in the Music Appreciation Group....

Electronic music touches everything I'm in and I've got to have it every day. That's why I think it deserves its own forum and not just a thread on another forum.

[kaitykaity]

37. Oh, I go in the new one and talk about EM, no doubt.

I was just saying there's a place dedicated
to what you're talking about already.

If you think there needs to be another
one, okay.

[Moloch]

34. woo hoo!@# Step 2: The mission statement

I was thinking of something simple along the lines of:

This group is for the discussion and promotion of electronic music of all kinds.

[sniffa]

35. i need to reconnect

fun piLLs

[movie_girl99]

36. fabulous idea n/t

[Wat_Tyler]

38. I dunno - these groups are getting pretty over-specific.

[Moloch]

39. Well Bob Dylan has his own group.....

I don't see why several genres of music shouldn't deserve one too.

[dean_dem]

40. Dean_dem likes this idea.

as much as he likes referring to himself in the third person.

[Moloch]

41. Ok, I have requested the group to Skinner...

Hopefully he will approve it and we can start posting tomorrow!


Yay! I'm excited.

[sundog]

43. thanks

:7

[bigwillq]

42. Great idea!

I would be interested in this group!:hi:

[Moloch]

44. Woo hoo!@#@!

Looks like Skinner ok'd it and we will have our electro-dweeb group later today!

[AndyTiedye]

[ellie]

49. Count me in

Although I will have to donate money to actually participate in the group.

[Maestro]

50. I'll stop by

I have an eclectic taste for music. Electronica/dance/trance is one of the genres I listen to along with extremely heavy metal. Go figure. Anyhow, I just got iTunes. If you have it, you can look at these two semi-electronica/dance mixes that I posted at iTunes.
