Hi guys!

This threads will serve as a directory for some of the more common threads in the EMD forum. Here you will be able to find links to threads that are related to the following topics :

  • Discovering New Music
  • General EDM Discussion
  • Genre Threads
  • Artist Threads

We will typically merge new threads about topics that have already been discussed before into the appropriate "Mega thread". So if you start a thread about trance, chances are your thread will be merged into the Let's Talk Trance thread. Same goes for discuss about artists that already have a thread in EMD.

If you think a particular thread should be added to the directory, feel free to PM me or junglejuice!

Quick FAQ

Q: What is the difference between Trance and House?
A: If you want to learn more about the difference between various genres, check out this little guide: Ishkur's Guide to Electronic Music. It's a little outdated, but it still covers a lot of different electronic and proto-electronic genres.

Q: What is Techno?
A: A lot of people (especially in the US) use the word "Techno" as a catch-all term for electronic music, in reality techno is just one sub-genre of electronic music.

Q: What's the difference between a DJ set and a live act?
A: I imagine what you are looking for is the distinction between a dj set and a live act. A dj set will involve the performer playing pre-recorded music, both their own and others.' a live set, on the other hand, will be the performer playing exclusively music they have produced themselves by triggering different parts of the track on the fly (although usually with a lot more preplanning than people realize). This gives them a lot more flexibility to try out different sounds in new tracks they are working on before sending in a finished version [|Thanks toa$t!].

You guys are doing such a great JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I told felix you and JJ we're the best guys for the job. You guys have made me so proud. Im glad I made the right decision.
 
Yes, excellent work boys. I meant to do this for so long, since AE was modding with me really, but was just too busy/lazy to get around to it. Kudos on getting this done and so quickly!
 
EDIT: All links should be working. Some of the older links didn't work because the original thread was deleted in the previous prune.
