#22If you want a "classic" internet guide to electronic genres (as in, it was built in flash and has been around forever), as well as an opinionated history lesson, Ishkur's guide is great: http://techno.org/electronic-music-guide/
ishkur wrote this completely tounge in cheek, it's a snarky satire. there are entirely made up genres and artists and not a whole lot of ways to tell what's accurate and what is not. for example, there is no such thing as speedbass.
Be that as it may, I've never found something comparable in terms of rapid music discovery and segmentation. I'd pay money for a version that (crucially:) works as well and is regularly updated.

#23Cool, but frustratingly slow. Also what's the point of genres like "French House" and "Detroit Techno" etc. These genres are ridiculous to the point where it sounds like satire.
I may be wrong but I don't think they're particularly obscure genres

#24This is great fun, and aptly named: Dancemusic WTF. I find aspect of the seemingly infinite genres in electronic music very much WTF. Long ago i resorted to just call it all Techno (or "Dance music" if the mood strikes) and I use only two sub genres - tunes I like, and tunes I do not like. How can one keep up?

#25This would look like a good test for someone applying for maintaining DI.FM channels.

#26Heyoo HN. Finished this side project of mine during the weekend. Read more about it on GitHub: https://github.com/Hemmingsson/dancemusic.wtf Let me know if you have any feedback!
A 'Next' button maybe, e.g. a person guesses the genre in the first sample and doesn't feel like waiting.

Pretty good...Do you get less points if you take longer? I didnt really quite get how the points work. Maybe indicate that visually if that's the case.
Another thing is sometimes the clips start in a breakdown and unless you're familiar with the track it's sometimes difficult to know the genre until the drop.
oh i think i found a track that was mislabeled, but unfortunately i didnt catch the name sorry :( .. it was a track marked "Post-Dubstep" but sounded like a house track of some kind.

#28This was super fun. A little bit of feedback: The text telling you what the song was that just played goes away way too fast. It'd be nice if it stayed longer, or if a list built up somewhere to reference later. Also, I may be crazy, and random things happen, but I swear 70% of the correct answers were the #1 option. edit: At 72,000 or so points and haven't seen #4 show up as the correct answer.
i think it's your rng seed cause i've seen some 4's.

Checkout Musicmap[0], very extensive with history and playlists for each genre. Bit on the heavy side on cpu usage but by far the best one I've found so far.
