Over the past few months I've been making mixtapes and putting them up for download wherever such music is appreciated. But this isn't your average shitty pop top #40 or your favorite cute little metal playlist. This, friends, is electro.
Without getting too much into detail, Electro is a niche sub-genre of Electronica that is somewhat of a cross between Dance and SynthPop. It's like Electronica's version of indie pop, that is to say, but it's danceable and you can play it at anything from a house party to a rave.
So, what I do is basically every month or so I create a new mix (much like a DJ set) of the freshest new electro that you haven't heard of and upload it to FTP. I have a back log of 8 complete mixes, each around an hour, for your listening pleasure! I'm ranking the playlists in order of my personal favorites, so if you want to just try, start at the top. But either way YOU SHOULD TRY IT!
Enjoy! >:3
DIRECTIONS ~ For each playlist, download the zip file and extract it to a folder in your music folder. Go into iTunes or your music player of choice (such as Songbird) and go to file->Add Folder to library. Select the folder and then after adding it make a playlist from the tracks in you just added. Then sort the playlist by TRACK NUMBER. The tracks are NUMBERED, you have to listen to them in ORDER.
Heat on high for 30 seconds and BAM: instant culture!
