Favorite Electronica subgenre?

Mine has to be Breakcore and Glitchcore. Those areawesome.

Also Psychedelic Trance, Experimental Electronica and IDM are pretty good.

Darkcore, Terrorcore, Hardcore, Gabber, and Industrial for me. Some hardstyle and darkwave can be cool on occasion.

Nu-disco, house, etc. Something with a bit of a groove; nothing too deep unless I'm smashed in a club - generally 105 - 125 bpm is my grooving range

Not really my bag alas - I used to go to some pretty pumped up techno nights in the early 90s which was about my limit, but alas such aggression is too much for my aging palette these days :(

That sounds a little kind of a mix between DnB/post-industrial. I can see it working in a club, but you need a decent rig to get the most out of that kind of music...

electronica is not a genre and it does not have any subgenres

Well that's really the point as club music =/= mainstream. You can have massive club hits that nowhere near touch the charts. Hell you can go to club that plays whatever vibe you're looking for. You're a Melbourne guy aren't you? There's heaps of little nooks and crannies around this place that play little mirco genres for a small crowd I'm sure...

Well you still can make a living, although it's harder now that it used to be becuase music's just too accessible. Back in the days of vinyl, then it was all limited releases and white labels - going to see a DJ you knew you'd hear tracks you'd never heard before. Nowadays you can download whatever tune you like from Juno, whack it on a flash drive and plug it straight into CDJ's - there's little exclusivity anymore. I used to DJ out back in the 90s - used to get paid 20 pounds or so (and free beer) but that was that. It can get a little boring after a while - sometimes things are best left in the realm of a hobby, as trying to make a career out of it can kill the passion you have for it.

But yes, you should check out Fitzroy, bars down in Windsor (when you're old enough of course). I actually played down there the other day - using these new CDJ's befuddle me though so I played terribly, but oh well who cares :P

Playing your own tracks? As in tracks you write? If so there is sweet f*** all money in that anymore, and it probably isn't going to get any better, which is a shame...

[QUOTE="DmadFearmonger"]I'm talkin' about playing my own tracks. Electroinc musician's probably a better term to use. Yeah I'd love to do that. But alas you're probably right. A career's probably not the best way to go. Part time job maybe for a bit of extra cashhhhDmadFearmonger

It is fun writing your own tracks, but equal parts frustrating and often boring and laborious trying to engineering the right sounds and get the mix right. Still, it's good to have an artistic outlet and it's quite satisfying even if it is mainly for you own consumption - go forth and lay some tracks down...

A microkorg? The playability/interface is crap. Although they are sweet sounding synth engines. Get a Nord synth so you can learn how a synthesizer actually works. The interface is beautiful.

I took piano lessens aged around 7, then my teachers husband died and she went all glum and decided not to continue. I've had keyboards for the last 26 years though and I'm not too bad at tinkling on the ivories (I get by at least, although could be better of course). Just looked up Nord though - I can see you can get a vst for cubase so that could be worth a peek :)

[QUOTE="DmadFearmonger"][QUOTE="Shmiity"] Take piano lessons. Im telling ya. Then get a Nord synth and go nuts.Shmiity

I'm barely into electronica, or know much about it,

but the one album that I love that is electronica is Ministry's Twitch, before they changed their style (even though all their stuff is great.)
