ELECTRONIC, RAVE, TECHNO, TRANCE, IDM, AMBIENT

Electronic/Techno music is on the rise. This is your source for all the latest artists!

Electronic (i.e. Prodigy)--pulsating synthesizer and beats (100 to 140 bpm), more intricate than club or house
Trance (i.e. Juno Reactor)--very complicated overlapping synthesizers, can be peaceful or menacing (90 to 160 bpm)
Rave--fast electronic music, simple 4/4 beat (140 bpm to 180 bpm)
Gabber--fastest techno, hardcore, thumping 909 beats (160+ bpm)
IDM (i.e. Autechre)--inteligent dance music, subtle overlapped sound, might not have beat, similar to ambient
Ambient (i.e. Banco de Gaia)--slow, usually comforting carefully placed sounds evoking a certain mood, beat is not necessary
Illbient (i.e. DJ Spooky)--menacing, heavily dubbed ambient.
