Prompted by the coming release of the movie "Groove," today's New York Times
has a comparatively well-done article on electronic music, with separate
pages explaining the differences between techno, house, drum'n'bass, trance,
and big beat.  Admittedly, nobody here's going to learn *too* much -- that
is, unless it's a revelation to you that "a skilled DJ blends records on two
or three turntables simultaneously, which is called spinning."  Still,
there's audio/video/interview clips balancing quite a few pioneers (Larry
Levan, Juan Atkins, Richie Hawtin) with the obvious commercial favorites
(Basement Jaxx, Sasha, Fatboy).  Check it out...
