Electronic Dance Music

Hey guys! As you guys probably know, I'm a huge fan of electronic dance music, especially trance. Therefore, I decided to create this thread, in which any fans of EDM can post their favorites, and people wanting to know more about the EDM scene can learn about it here by listening to those songs!

I'll just quote this post to start putting some songs in here, since that list contains my favorite trance songs!

Imagine - Armin Van Buuren: This is just such an incredible song. Armin Van Buuren just puts everything together to produce such excellent sounds. This, in my opinion, is the best song ever.

Coming Home - Armin Van Buuren (Arctic Moon Remix): Another amazing song. I like always start to cry or at least get a little teary when I listen to this. It definitely makes you reminisce a lot as well.

Waiting - Dash Berlin featuring Emma Hewitt: A fantastic vocal trance track. Dash Berlin's sound combined with Emma Hewitt's beautiful voice makes this a very nice trance piece.

Full Focus - Armin Van Buuren (Ummet Ozcan Remix): Really nice remix of one of Armin Van Buuren's classic songs. Ummet Ozcan definitely showed his worth with this remix.

An Angels Love (Vocal Mix) - Alex M.O.R.P.H. featuring Sylvia Tosun: A beautiful songs with great vocals. It's just really, really good.

I Don't Own You - Armin Van Buuren: A mysterious track, very enjoyable.

Mirage - Armin Van Buuren: A really cool song that really shows the mastery of AVB.

Space Odyssey - Shogun: I actually first found out about the up-and-coming Taiwanese born US-based trance producer Shogun when someone on Smogon posted a very nice trance mix including one of his songs. The song is Save Me by Shogun featuring Emma Lock, and I really liked the song. And then I noticed that Shogun also appeared in Armin Van Buuren's Mirage: The Remixes album, remixing the song Take a Moment by Armin Van Buuren featuring Winter Kills. Shogun also appears on Armin Van Buuren's A State of Trance 2011 with Skyfire. I really like his songs, and Space Odyssey is just incredible. It includes this really awesome countdown that's just so good. A really nice track.

Elegia - Alexander Popov: This song is featured in Armin Van Buuren's Universal Religion Chapter 5, I just love it so much. It's very chilling and just so good.

Rain - Armin Van Buuren featuring Cathy Burton: An excellent piece of trance music. It's really good.

Well then, post away!

If it's Electronic Dance Music.. Then can it be Electronic by itself and Dance by itself? Tongue

Why couldn't you just answer the question yourself? r.r

Lamb · 2012-03-02, 11:33 PM

I didn't really understand the question, so I linked you to that article. If that article doesn't answer your question...can you elaborate?

Oooh, I've been hooked on those for a while. Mostly Monstercat and Lapfox stuff like...

Eminence - Tanpopo
Mayhem - Roughworld

And blah blah. Just don't feel like typing out a longer list honestly.

There's a channel on YouTube called NeurofunkGrid. It's a relatively well-known promotional channel that helps new-coming artists get signed. (Or so says the description.) It's full of music. It's not necessarily "Electronic Dance" ... it's more along the line of Dub-Step type music, but a lot of it is dance worthy and (technically) electronic.

But for some better electronic dance-type music:

ATC - All Around The World (la la la la la la la la)

Dj Umek - Posing as me (ORIGINAL HQ)

Those are the olnly 2 I can think to look up right now. But perhaps I'll suggest some more later.
Also, she's not electric or dance, but I'd like to suggest that you look check out
Sainkho Namtchylak
She's more like... lounge type music. But she adds Tuvan throat singing among other cultural music elements. Plus plain old singing. She's very interresting -- and seeing as we're suggesting music, I thought I'd make a shout-out.

I realized after I suggested that Sainkho song, that I should have suggested Who Stole the Sky instead of Running Tapes. Although they're both very good.

Who Stole The Sky

Great songs Dawn and sundance93 (who is now banned? :O)! I really enjoyed them.

Here are a few trance songs I highly recommend listening to:

Tenishia - Always Loved, Never Forgotten (The Day Will Come) - A great song by Tenishia, who I honestly have never heard of before I listened to this song. I'm glad I know who he is now though!

Super8 - Cre8 - An excellent, excellent uplifting trance track.

Shogun featuring Emma Lock - Save Me - Shogun's mastery and Emma Lock's beautiful voice produced an extraordinary piece of vocal trance music.

I hope you guys like the songs!

Avicii - Levels

Haha, yeah I listened to Levels some time ago and it really is a great song. Thanks for sharing it Goat.
