It’s been fun to watch the evolution of electro, hasn’t it? The word ‘electro’ started out as such an odd creature, no one was sure quite exactly what it meant. To some, electro meant anything with synthesizers (i.e. electro-rock). To others, electro meant the more avant garde side of dance music, with harder and heavier elements. In the end, it became neither. I feel a lynching coming on, but to me electro has become the ‘indie’ of electronic music – you’ll find the most obscure samples in it, you’ll hear the most innovative things the scene has to offer, and you’ll hear good music that your average candy kid or gamer won’t. And yes, that makes the whole genre seem quite pretentious to me; but why else would I like it so much?

That being said, when you go looking for electro; you’re reaching into a grab bag of genres. You never really know what you’re going to get. It’s fun when you get a few songs that you can group into their very own special category. Today’s episode is brought to you by pounding, driving and grinding beats mixed with soaring, easy to remember melodies! Shake your groove thangs all the way into the weekend with these tracks.
