Attended the Daft Punk concert at Hyde Park in London on Saturday 16th June. It was my first live Electronica concert and it was absolutely mind blowing. Some good videos of the o2 Wireless concert 2007 on YouTube 1 2 3.

Electronica happens to be one of my favorite genres of music. I’m passionate about it and I’d like to convert more people to it. Electronica is not Trance or Dance music but it has been influenced by them. Sounds are created electronically rather than mechanically. Electronica can very trippy, cosmic and “other worldly”. Vocals tend to be less. Its not fast food music (like trance or house)… songs grow on you after repeated listenings. You might like Electronica if you like unusual sounds and patterns.

I strongly recommend Boards of Canada and Air if you would like a good introduction to Electronica. BTW they are very different from Daft Punk (more complex, nuanced and ambient). Why dont you listen to these and related artists for free on last.fm?
