About electronicarchives
Use this site if you want some cool tunes/mixes to listen to while you’re at work, or generally stuck by your computer.
I’ve been into dance and electronic music since I was about eleven and heard some of the original rave type tracks on various pirate radio stations. During my teenage years I had the usual rock, industrial and indie phases (I know indie isn’t just a phase) but found myself returning to electronic music. I learnt to mix at about 17 and have built up quite a collection of tunes spanning loads of genres.
This blog is basically a big old bucket of links to tunes, mixes, and occasionally DJs & clubs that I’ve enjoyed over the years. Some tunes are old classics, others are newer stuff that I’m mixing at home or on the very occasional gig. I may even bother my arse to record a proper mix at some point.
When records were released on 12″ I was a total record shop geek, and would think of nothing spending a whole afternoon in threebeat in Liverpool or even down to Chocci’s in London. Now that the record shop is essentially dead and buried, the blog has become the new home of the train-spotter.
In terms of genre you can look forward to loads of house, trance, progressive house, progressive breaks, techno, tweaky acid stuff, a bit of garage, drum & bass and the odd bit of electro. Feel free to post links to your own stuff.
Many of the links maybe youtube which is potentially annoying, but i will try to link up places where you can buy tunes.
Like most things I do, updates will be at best, sporadic, but I’m not going to update for the sake of it, if I don’t hear any good records, I won’t post, but when I do, hell I will. Don’t see it as laziness, more fastidious quality control.
