I know, but i've seen this on other boards with the heading "New to techno? Find out what your listening to" and such. Sure he's having fun with his opinions, but have you seen a comparable guide to this one? I haven't. I just feel bad for the new kids coming into the scene and being pretty much told the wrong thing.

Simple answer to everyone genre analysim is to call it all Techno or Electronic Music and then just weed out the tracks you dont like. Pure PLUR.

I think his oldskool rave hardcore (or whatever he calls it) is a bit messed up as some of those tracks should be under early happy hardcore

The only thing I will give him praise on is having Ministry in there.

Ugh... "Techno". If you're part of fnk, you simply can not call absolutly everything 'techno'. You'll get laughed right out of 'ere mon.

"Wow, have you heard that new techno rave jungle mix?"

Well I'll call all of it techno all I want and atm you should see the caring look on my face regarding what anyone thinks about my posts or ideas.

So apparently I'm the only one who loves it?

Everytime Ishkur's guide to electronic music is posted, quoted, or chortled at on the internet, his ego grows its wiiiiiings.

Dear Speed Garage Zealots:

I'm sorry, but your music sucks.

I already accepted this a long time ago. It doesn't mean I like it any less. But speed garage is uninventive dribble and hasn't really changed too much in the last 7 years. Unless you count the UK 2-step shite. But I sure as hell don't.

And all the people getting their panties in a knot because their lame-ass what-was-big-when-I-started-raving genres are torn into, read the goddamn disclaimer again.

Silliness,

I've gotten people that have gone into diatribes about who gives a shit what the difference is between Jungle and Drum n Bass. The funny part about it was immediately afterwards everybody in the room suddenly mentioned Ishkur's Guide. Followed with "Trust me. You'll enjoy it."

[sNyx]

Unarguably its a well put together guide. What I respect the most (of which wouldn't cross the majority of people) is the time put into such a project. By no means is it some cut/paste kindergarten homework. I have had many ideas along these lines but never followed through, my extracurricular projects usually die about halfway.. [*cough fnk]

Ishkurs guide is based on a single tune per genre. Obviously what one person calls the general idea of Breaks wont be the same as anothers, especially five years ago. It was new and the 'hot link' when I first started to party, I think after all this i'll go back and enjoy it one more time.

Updates?! =)
j/k

You should man. It hasn't been one-track-per-genre in nearly a year now methinks.

We have that in Canada too. It's called Montreal.

[b0ld]

mmmm Montreal... Gotta love my hometown :c-tard:

[Séguin]

hehe, I was from 2 hours away. Luckily I get to go back once in a while to play.

[FutureAssassin]

Well speaking of Hardcore I set up a local site www.mulletcore.com for that community but seems to have died so will probably be using it for my shoutcast station as I restart it next month.

[Cdn_Brdr]

I was trading some mp3's with this dj down in Brazil on Soulseek and he sent me a link to check out this 'killer website' that chronicled electronic music.... imagine my surprise when he sent me a link to Ishkur's Electronic Music Guide.

Obviously he's done a half decent job if people in different parts of the world have picked up on the site.

Well, I don't think that Kent has a responsibility to anyone. He made it for his own entertainment. And how are they told the wrong thing? That's just your opinion. So don't bash on him for stating his opinion. I personally think the guide is good for new people, it shows a lot of genre's of music that people would other wise not be exposed to. If they can't see that the humor it's there lost. I mean the genre's I enjoy are made fun of just as much as the rest...

[Sykonee]

I'm always amazed at the amount of knickers getting twisted about that guide. Anyone should be able to tell it's a pisstake. Even humor, though, can be informative.

Methinks the new tutorial works in more ways than one.

[Revolver]

ishkur seems to be more famous now than when i first heard of him like 6 years ago.

this guys a genious
