Electronica-music

As always teens now days surrounds themself with music all the time, even a simple cafe plays music for it's diners to listen to, people listen to music almost every day in their life, it may be in the car, in the toilet, in the club, work, bar and much more places, listening to music can relax our senses and might even cheer up our day.

Music is divided to many genres and types, there's rock, pop, dance, hip-hop, trance and many other types of music that caters to different age groups. My personal favourite type of music is electronica and symphonic music, being involved in the band had already teached me alot about music and how to appreciate it. Electronica is basically electro trance which is created using turntables and mixers, Trance is a genre of electronic dance music that developed in the 1990s. Trance music is generally characterized by a tempo of between 130 and 155 BPM, short melodic synthesizer phrases, and a musical form that builds up and down throughout a track. It is a combination of many forms of music such as industrial, techno, and house. The origin of the term is uncertain, with some suggesting that the term is derived from the Klaus Schulze album Trancefer (1981) or the early trance act Dance 2 Trance. In any case, the name is undoubtedly linked to the ability of music to induce an altered state of consciousness known as a trance. The effect of some trance music has been likened to the trance-inducing music created by ancient shamanists during long periods of drumming. The trance-music branch of electronica share a fondness for open-ended marathon dancing, fluorescent colors and neo-hippie fashion as well.


My favourite electronic music artist would be dj tiesto and armin van buuren, tiesto is a dutch musician,dj and record producer of electronic dance music,In 1997 he founded the label Black Hole Recordings with Arny Bink, where he released the Magik and In Search of Sunrise CD series. In 1999 and 2000 he collaborated with Ferry Corsten to create Gouryella. His 2000 remix of Delerium's "Silence" featuring Sarah McLachlan exposed him to more mainstream audiences. In 2001 he released his first solo album In My Memory which gave him several major hits that launched his career. He was named "World’s No.1 DJ" 3 consecutive times by DJ Magazine from 2002 through 2004.Just after releasing his second studio album Just Be in 2004, at the Summer Olympics he performed live at the opening ceremony in Athens, Greece, becoming the first DJ to play live on stage at an Olympics Games, no doubt that millions in the world enjoy listening to tiesto's music and im proud to be one, my favourite track from tiesto is dance for life!


Armin van buuren is also a dutch dj and was also voted number 1 in the dj top 10 list, basically a rival to tiesto,Van Buuren began his DJ career at club Nexus in Leiden, where he learned to play long DJ sets, which were regularly six to seven hours per set.During school holidays he played more than four times a week. In 1999, he met Dave Lewis who introduced him as a DJ in England and the United States.His career accelerated, entering the DJ magazine Top-100 in November 2001 at Number 27. He has played in more than 25 different countries and can often be found on the main stage at big summer festivals. Van Buuren played a record-breaking twelve and a half hour set for Dancetheater in The Hague netherlands. In the United Kingdom he performs regularly at Passion (resident 2002), Godskitchen, Gatecrasher, Slinky, Ministry of Sound, Peach and Golden. Mixing almost the same music like tiesto buuren previously attended (2008) global gathering event in malacca (recharge) I was there and i totally enjoyed his music all night long.

Not forgetting im taking up a extrea electronic music course with dj biggie and goldfish from zouk now, i am always inspired by the wonders in electronic music and it never stops to trigger my interest in it, once you start listening and you'll never get bored, how i hope they have some kind of electro music club in taylors, that would be cool, anyway here's a couple of good tracks from tiesto and buuren.
