Just a little genre confused . . .

I just recently got into a "more diverse" musical playlist and I like this kind of music so much now that I want to go looking for it but can't because I don't even know the type of genre it is. Some stuff I can break apart but I dont know how to tell a lot of them apart from each other. i was wondering what is what and how can you tell each other apart?

So far I have attempted to put some ddr favorite in categories so I can go music hunting and find relative types of new music. All I REALLY know is that 6th mix sounds a lot like trance and house to me with Ghosts and So Deep standing out.

I'd appricieate a lot of feedback so I don't feel stupid too much longer/

Thats about what 90% of the "techno" in DDR is. Either House or Trance. Dynamite Rave is far from RAVE BTW. So Deep can't be considered progressive because it stays the same throughout the whole song (I'm talking the actual long version here)

However, if you're looking for Techno in general, Look for stuff by Paul Oakenfeld (I think thats how its spelt) and Robert Miles they do pretty good House and Trance. If you're looking for more of ambience look at Musiq and some Aphex Twin.

Is Sarina Paris house? I always thought that she belonged to the "crap" genre...

As for So Deep, it builds up to the "DDR part", although the basic melody is the same-ish. Progressive or not, it's still awsome.

If you have a broadband connection, you MUST go to http://www.ishkur.com/features/music/index.htm# it's a Flash guide to over 140 genres of electronic music.

And everyone who listens to Aphex Twin should also listen to Squarepusher. The music video for "Come on my Selector" is the only music video out there that is better than Aphex Twin's "Come to Daddy"

Bet you'd like a band called Rank 1. Also try Blank & Jones, DJ Tiesto, Ferry Corsten, or Infected Mushroom (if you're into trance). If you wanna check out happy hardcore, a good place to start is the "Happy 2b Hardcore" mix CDs (there's 7 volumes now). Also be sure to check out Juno Reactor for some darker trance. Greatest. Band. Ever!!

I disagree with that statement for these reasons,

1) follow the sun was produced by Triple J a well known Happy Hardcore producer, it appears on countless happy hardcore CD's, example

http://www.happyhardcore.com/records/record_releasetrackprofile.asp?action=recorditemsdisplay&recordtracksid=1151

2)Shooting star was produced by Bang !, remixed by Brisk, Brisk,and Ham, again 3 very well known happy hardcore DJ's

Its appeared on many happy hardcore cd's including happy 2b hardcore chapter 3, Original hardcore and a few of Bangs ! own compelation cds

also i dont know how much happy hardcore u listen to, but its all cheezy.
