I'm looking for "aggressive" genres of electronic music

[MysticToast]

Well, Pendulum has some good stuff that may or may not fit the bill.

This is one of my favorites of theirs.
It's really good.

I'll second this on the basis that it's a great song and one of my favorites.

Also, I love this thread. So much new music!

DUBSTEP MATE
IS FREACKING AWESOME
Here are some examples: Klaypex, Skrillex, Noisestorm

While not "hardcore" or "loud", Aphex Twin has some REALLY aggressive music.

He's currently my favorite artist.

EDIT: I realized that I selected two songs by accident that have the same sound sample in them. What are the chances of that?

Over the last little while one of my friends has been trying to get me into electronic music.

At first I didn't like electronic music, but since he's been showing me different types it's started growing on me. I only seem to be liking the more aggressive types though, like dubstep and aggrotech. I tried listening to stuff like "Deadmau5" and "Daft Punk" but I can't get into them.

Could any of you who are knowledgeable about electronic music show me some genres that are aggressive? I know very little about the different types.

Have you thought of wavering a bit and stumbling into Industrial or Industrial metal? Or perhaps a bit of Dark Wave?

Nine Inch Nails and Ministry are good on the Industrial metal/electronic side

Ministry [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBi8U9hJy-E]

and Allied Vision do some very brutal yet complex Dark Wave electronic music:

Snip!

Ninja'd! I agree with homes.

I recommend Igorrr and Eraplee Noisewall Orchestra also, as well as Aphex Twin, but he was mentioned above.

This
Is what you're looking for

Also there is only one place to experience 'Electronic Music' as I'll prove with these videos

There's no place where you can go this badshit-insane as Dutch hardcore party's

Question is 'DID I CONVINCE YOU?

Also if you want some names, just ask.

Just keep searching for some good 'ol dutch hardcore, some's crap some's gold. However, be carefull not to get backtracked by Hardstyle, they are somewhat similar and often confused, but the feeling is totally different.

 

[Josh Horton]

Spoiler

As previously stated, Celldweller is a great one in my opinion.

 

[Verlander]

I'm a fan of older stuff... doesn't make it any less heavy...

ATR were awesome. Alec Empire is THE name you should look up man

My first thought was Aphex Twin, in fact there are several on Warp Records that would probably work.

SquarePusher - Come On My Selector

Autechre - Second Bad Vibel

Rubber Johnny Featuring music by Aphex Twin

The Chemical Brothers - Out Of Control

The Chemical Brothers - Electrobank

 

[kaioxs]

maybe try some breakbeat.
long build up

Also this track

Good choice. I would have posted this one if you hadn't. :-D I love this song with my SOUL!


If you're trying to get into electronic music, you have to sample some Crystal Method. The tone of their pieces vary, but here is one of their more aggressive ones...

 

[tomtom94]

So you're leaning more towards stuff like Prodigy, that kind of thing, is that what you're saying?

Are they the ones who did "Spitfire"?

Yup - Spitfire, Smack My ***** Up, Omen, Invaders Must Die, Breathe, those guys.

Awesome thread, I don't have anything to contribute, though. Igorrr and The Berzerker have already been posted, and thats about how far my knowledge of extreme electronic music goes (if you can call it that). I listen to The Prodigy, Pendulum and 1200 Micrograms, but they have either been posted already as well, or are not extreme.

Nevertheless, I don't want to post without contributing in some way shape or form, so...


I'm going to listen the heck out of this thread now, maybe I find something I like.
