James Blake is great, but I kind of consider it filthy hipster music (I own the LPs, lol). Strangely enough there's been a few 'hi-fi' mags that have loved the album and use it for test tracks. They all made some comment about audiophile Dubstep was never something they thought they'd see. 
 

Like it!

Same with Purity Ring (who I also love). They're both Dubstep for hipsters who don't want to say they like Dubstep. Heck Purity Ring is damn near Trap now that I think about it.

I never considered James Blake's album dubstep and I love the album and dubstep.

Kinda new to this genre. Have always been a metalhead who despised electronic music. But after finishing high school I started to explore other generes and got into them. Finally giving Electronic music a try and so far a couple of groups have stood out for me. Can anyone recommend me some groups that are similar to these:

I used to listen to some Ratatat, pretty good stuff. Just look around Electronic Indie and stuff it you like him. (Lemaitre just came to mind, check them out)
 
C&K did a great job with this:
 

 
And just to mess with Morbid and his hate of Trap, I'm going to post some fantastic trap tunes (loaded with sub-bass):

No it's not (even iTunes calls labels it correctly as Electronic), but I'd appreciate not making your first post in the thread a slight against what a lot of other people in this thread like.
 
(And no stupid UKF genre arguments either. God I hate YouTube)

 
Yes it is. It encompasses all the genres we are discussing. "Electronic" defines how the music is made, not the actual aesthetic of the music itself. All modern music could be defined as "electronic" since it all typically involves digital production methods. You can readily look up the definitions on wikipedia. Not that any of this matters.
 
and I would appreciate you not make pretentious "hahaha, electronica" comments when they serve no purpose but to stroke your unmerited ego about arbitrary genre definitions. 

 

[MorbidToaster]

Lets drop the genre argument since we're basically splitting hairs.
 
Lets just focus on this one...Let me flip that around and say this. How about you not make your first post in this thread a grand ego stroker that basically reads '90% of the music linked in this thread sucks. Here's what (I consider) real (good) Electronica music is.'
 
You come in making a comment like that and then try to complain about my ego stroking posts? Pot calling the kettle black, no?
 
This is a thread that I started 2 years ago now, and it's thrived because we avoid ridiculous, negative comments like yours and just let people post (and like) what they want. We've had a lot more than just you come in and put down everyone else's preferences before and it never goes over well.
 
Genre arguments are stupid, but insults direct of otherwise are just not cool. I'd say we both need to cool our engines and just link some good music.

It's ok:
 

 
 
Here's a very good song and interesting (to say the least) video:
 

 
Also, to the poster inquiring about the video I linked, it was the Camo & Krooked remix of Netsky's song Puppy.

Seriously, right now I'm listening to Dream Thirty by Liquid Mind.  Yeah, that's right, it's ambient relaxation music; but it's good.  The sound develops a slow melody and story over time.  I mention this because I like it, but also because I personally used this thread to discover lots of Dubstep, DnB, and Electro House that I also like. 
 
So as a net taker on this thread I encourage you, please keep linking good tunes 

 ...I read this thread every time I'm listening to electronic music ..

Here's a classic, Jose Amnesia feat. Jennifer Rene - Louder (Blake Jarrell's 190 dB Remix):

Another classic from the early 2000s: Thrillseekers feat. Sheryl Deane - Synaesthesia (There are so many good remixes, you'll have to see and hear them all on youtube, I like the Alaska Chill Remix)
