don’t call it techno.
I’m an eighteen year-old princess that grew up in the Midwest with a teacher for a Mama and a lawyer for Daddy. I go to church every Sunday and drink my tea with a tablespoon-and-a-half of sugar, hot, and always with a book in hand. I make straight A’s and have a future that parents dream of: success, love, and livelihood.
However, a very little known fact about me is something that few understand or can explain.
I’m an undercover electronica addict.
Tiesto, Hixxy, AvB, Scott Brown, Ultrabeat, DJ Amber, Green Velvet, and a million others litter my iPod to the point of confusion to most of my friends as they scroll down my artist list. I listen to anything from drum and bass to happyxhardcore, swaying to pounding bass and cymbal crashes galore. And, for some reason or another, every summer I can’t seem to press pause on my never-ending RAVE! playlist. I roll my windows down, crank “Power of Love” up, and drive a little faster.
The same heart-pounding rhythms that infect my senses are found everywhere, underneath the most popular of hip-hop or the softest of pop songs, and I find myself always reaching out for those dance beats as the music fades.
But, I’ve finally found my online home for my electronic fix:
Digital Eargasm
A mixture of unpretentious, straight-forward posts containing the newest and hottest electronic dance tracks out there; exactly what my summer needed.
If you’re not looking to invest in another blog, just check out their ever-updating Hype Machine playlist. I recommend Elvis Presley’s “Let’s Play House” club mix.
Mmm, bass&synth.
Today’s my kind of day.

Haha, yup…car rides with Lauren are gonna be interesting now. I guess we won’t be listening to much more Poopdisco.

Electronica extends beyond House, Dance, Trance, and 4/4 . Check out some drum and bass. Evol Intent, High Contrast, Ludachrist (more of a mash up artist). All good stuff. And monday nights go to DNBTV.com and listen to their live sets. My buddy DJ Tangent from Atlanta has spun live on the show a couple of times, and he’s phenomenal.
