I discoverd Techno Music

[Ducky]

Before I listend to music created for partys (Techno, Electro and so on) I dis-liked it. Thought it ruins music and makes crap out of it.

Theres a D.J. called D.J. Tiesto , He seems to be the number 1 DJ in the world right now.. Anyway this guy is a genious! he took a classic song called "Adagio for String " Which is a opera-like song which features a lot of classic instruments (non electric) .. Anyway when he was young he wanted to be a famous fiddler or something , but he didn't pass the qualifycations to be a high-leveld fiddler.

He took this song and remixed it. It became his biggest hit.

Now when I heard this story I thought it was crap , a friend of mine then played the song on youtube , and DAMN . THIS . GUY . IS. A. GENIOUS!

original Adagio for stings(listen about a minute or two of the song , it gets kind of boring fast) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRMz8fKkG2g

Tiesto's remix for Adagio for string(I start dancing when I hear this song =P) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__uVTxkbcp8

Tiesto's Adagio For Strings is amazing!Even more amazing than Barber's original masterpiece.The remix is pure genius.

fiddler lol but tiesto is the shiz!

 

[Eerpow]

Eh, he ruins the originals mood. This sounds horrible in my opinion.
Bad cover... (too my ears)

How CAN you like it

 

[XWolf]

If you like Tiesto try...

Armin Van Buuren.

He IS awesome.

 

[Eerpow]

No offense here my other post seems harsh. Sorry.

Dude, I *like* club music,
but like all music, it has it's proper place.
In this case it's In A Club.

A DJ in concert?
How rediculous can you possibly get?

I cannot agree with you about this piece.

 

[silent sniper]

lol, i appreciate that you like the music, but don't be so surprised about his idea. while it does sound nice, similar things have been done millions of times before

Check out old George Acosta. Awake and Next Level are amazing Trance albums.

 

[FISHY_au]

it took you this long to realise the awesomeness of techno?

 

[Blonde]

To be exact this is trance, techno is just a word for all electronic genre's.

What do you guys think of this?

Welcome to my world.

Try:

-Armin Van Burren

-Benny Benassi/ Bennassi Bros

-Paul Van Dyk

Just google, Progressive House Music, and/or House Music, you'll like it. This kind of music is mistaken for techno, which i personally see it as soemthing completely different. It is HOUSE people. There are jsut a lot of variations, Progressive house being my personal favorite.

Tiesto is sort of meh, not all his songs are good, but compared to Armin he's nothing.

"Tiesto is sort of meh, not all his songs are good, but compared to Armin he's nothing."

if you'll get killed don't blame me , I warned you. =)

Listend to Armin Van Buren , his good but has nothing special bout him ..
Benny Bennesi has the "My Otherside" remix , which is amazing.

Beside tiesto there is also David Guetta - Pure awsomeness but once again , doesnt get even NEAR tiesto.

Armin is a god when it comes to trance.

 

[Ducky]

wow he added the beat pretty BADLY it was off in about 2 seconds !

[Vidboy10]

You should try Doomcore.
Its like Distorted Techno.

 

[iNFiNiTY]

Lol, yeah i was a bit harsh, but still there are many others that are just simply better, yet again that's my opinion.

Heres a couple of other styles of remixes of the same song btw;

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1PMdBP1bwk Brennan Heart hardstyle version

I'm thinking of making an even bigger post explaining even more electronic genres with examples if anyone is interested. Just so people get an idea of what they like and what to look for.

For some reason this reminds me of an old Amiga scene demo called Rise by Mellow Chips and TRSI: Clicky

Good stuff, both the YouTube video and the demo (if you consider it's age and the hardware it ran on).
