Best Of ‘09: Top 10 Electronic Tracks (URB Contributor Mitch Strashnov) (Video)

An introspective and mind-numbing selection of the best electronic tracks of 2009. 

Anyone who comes to URB should know, we cover an extensive amount of music from every genre and subgenre. Things aren’t always easily to compile in lists, especially putting together “top ten” lists. Now try doing that with the generalization of a genre called “electronic music.” Some people still don’t know what the difference between techno and house is, and of course we’re here to provide the difference. But, we’re also here to show our appreciation to the tracks that have made us move, groove, bop, boom, and, most importantly, enjoy every second from the first beat to the last. It wasn’t easy, but it sure as hell was a journey. Welcome to my top ten electronic tracks of the year. Take a seat and crank the speakers to eleven: it’s a doozy of a read.

Bloody Beetroots and Boyz Noize: The Next Timbalands?

Electro/Hipster/Insert cliche, restricting title here DJs such as uni-browed Boyz Noize and the masked duo known as The Bloody Beetroots have recently began dabbling in the world of hip-hop producing, something that would seem to make a lot of sense in terms of marketability. After all, electro is the cool thing to listen to right now, and it has already overlapped into the world of rap (i.e. Armand Van Helden and Dizzee Rascall, N.O.R.E. and MSTRKRFT, etc.). Both Boyz and Beetroots have released tracks to put this theory to the test for themselves: Boyz Noize’s official remix of “Boom Boom Pow” (Will I Am frequents at Dim Mak’s LA hot spot Cinespace and is a fan of Noize’s work) and BB’s “Awesome”, a song featuring the Cool Kids which samples the Beetroots’ own …
