I can hack/design for hours without even knowing it while listening to Kap Slap. It also helps you run a 5K faster than you might have originally imagined :) Anyone who likes remixes/house/dubstep I'd encourage you check it out! The spring break mix is an hour long and it's full of goodies. http://soundcloud.com/kapslap/kap-slap-spring-break-mix p.s. I'm only evangelizing this stuff so much because honestly if I set…

I prefer it more underground... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbBvTEnhrBM

That said, based on what you've linked, have you checked out the DATAMIX podcasts by Designer Drugs? I loves 'em.

#12 is a good place to start. And #04.

I feel that Kap-Slap is too close what you hear to radio on every day.

For working there is nothing better than repeating, simple melodies and patterns. What I consider to be a good song is something that you can work along with and not even notice it. This can be classical (Arvo Part, Philip Glass), but I often find that electronical music with a baseline beat is more mellow and fluid.

Here are my recommendations (some really good stuff): http://soundcloud.com/juliengray/julien-gray-gondwana-extend... http://soundcloud.com/monca/djuma-soundsystem-les-djinns

How/why has bargain-basement recycled eurotrance from 15 years ago become the latest thing amongst american youth?

As someone living in the south of the UK this is one of the strangest and most unexpected developments in global popular music in recent years.

I'm sorry if this sounds snobbish but I genuinely want/need to understand this, and I would appreciate any opinions or theories from americans as to how/why this happened and who/what forces could be responsible. Email in profile.
