05.17.10

At the request of Pete from the Love and Mathmatics show, I’m re-launching the FTB blog. Yes, it only took one person to inflate my ego enough to start posting again.


He told me that although he likes the music I play, he isn’t familiar with the artists or record labels, and found the blog helpful in learning more about the techno/minimal/dubstep worlds.


I know how overwhelming it can be with all the genres and subgenres. It took me years to make sense of the electronic music scene.


Take House music for example. Juno.co.uk list the following under the House music banner:

Deep House

Electro House

Electroclash

Funky House

Vocal House

Disco House

Soulful House

Hard House

Minimal House

Tech House

Progressive House

Scouse House

Bouncy House


Kind of ridiculous, yeah?


I’m not promoting myself as any kind of electronic music Professor or know-it-all, nor will my show be in any way educational. I’ll leave that to the fine DJs who host the WHRB orgies.


I’ll write a bit about records, artists, producers, and labels I like and play on the show, and maybe it will encourage some of you to delve deeper.


Or you can just listen and enjoy.
