I click on 'House' and it plays Dubstep, and then cheesy trance, followed by more of the same cheese. It's just pop-music basically. I don't mean to bitch, but to claim "Discover the best Electronic Dance Music you probably have never heard of" - and then be presented with pop-music is a little disingenuous.
I got the link off here a while ago, and listen to earbits for electronic music. earbits.com has around 40 different sub-genres of electronic music (they also have non-electronic genres with tons of sub-genres as well).
Without wanting to get into genre wars, you clearly have no idea what you're talking about. There's a brand of music at the moment calling itself 'tech house', but it's basically also pop-garbage like the stream from the OP.
Tech-house as a term has been bastardised in the same way as 'trance' in the mid-90s. There's still some amazing stuff out there though, but you need to dig for it. Unfortunately I don't think the OP site is going to help if it purely filters tags on Soundcloud (if you're really unlucky you'll hear some of my tracks, ha!).
this link said nothing about providing 'tech house'
see title for 'electronic dance house' which would show your distaste for music 'popular' enough to be used in a large dance/rave setting
I'm sorry, I don't follow your rambling sentence. My 'tech house' comment was purely an example of alternative genres which are not covered by this site.
The web and media is full of the kind of garbage streamed on this site. There's a real gap in the market in my opinion to nail the underground electronic music scene. Everything from leftfield electronica to techno.
Over the past 7 years or so I've seen the underground house and techno scene in London become so unbelievably huge. Which has just meant that opportunists jump in and create generic and bland versions of the music that I love.
Over the past 3-5 years its gone completely mainstream and the kind of garbage you hear in the charts is the same as from the OP. So it's not presenting me (personally) with anything.
I'm personally interested in a way to promote the better underground artists out there without having to hand pick each.
I don't have a solution for this unfortunately. I was hoping that the OP link would have been it. This is why I was disappointed. Because there are still lots of incredibly talented producers out there being totally buried by the torrent of sh*t that you hear these days purporting to be "house music" or "tech house" or "dubstep".
woah, we got ourselves a hipster here...
man, if the devs were to put the undergound music here then it wouldn't be undergound anymore and you would probably boycott or ddos the site so no one else could listen to your precious dublectrance rahouse mixes ...
Not at all. The impression given by the title is that it's going to be obscure electronic music, which I thought would be excellent. I was pretty shocked to hear what came out of the speakers when clicking through.
I didn't realise when I first posted that it was streamed from Soundcloud. So I understand what the "you've probably never heard of" bit was about now.
Where's the underground genres? Tech-house, minimal techno, dub techno, electro, etc...
