I'm pretty clueless when it comes to this genre. Can anyone recommend a few specific tracks which really stand out?

For example, if someone else posted this thread about trance, I would say Helsinki Scorchin' - Super 8 & Tab.

I absolutely LOVE Codename: A.1 & No Time To Love, both by Bungle & DJ Marky. Also love Pendulum, and Run Along - Shy FX & T-Power. I've bought a compilation in the past but to be honest I didn't really enjoy it as the bad tracks outweighed the good ones.

So any tracks which are essentials of this genre?

Cheers!
 
I have a mix online, but I'm not sure if I can put it up here. My last one got pulled, but theres an electrohouse mix thats still up.

Anyhoo, when I've got more time I'll make you a shopping list. Until then check this, its all new stuff I've been sent in the last month or so.
 
Single Tracks:

DJ Krust - Warhead
Roni Size - Brown Paper Bag
Sub Focus - Airplane
High Contrast - Racing Green / The Basement Track
The White Stripes - Blue Orchid (High Contrast mix)
Klute - Hell Hath No Fury

Albums:

DJ Fresh - Escape From Planet Monday.
High Contrast - High Society
Cyantific - Ghetto Blaster

Mixes:

Goldie - Classics (best.mix.ever)
Weapons of Mass Creation (I think the latest is WoMC 3 which is absolutely EPIC)
Andy C - Nightlife 1, 2 and 3
Mampi Swift - Anything by him is bound to please!
Anything/ Anyone on the Hospital label - These guys can do no wrong at the minute. Everything released under Hospital has been epic for quite some time.

That should keep you going for a while.

The track at 9.45 is Xample - Lowdown, it just promo'd on Ram Records.

Its funny reading this thread being on the inside of the scene. People regard tracks and albums totally differently :)
 
Two wicked tunes that have just come out:

Switch Technique - The Persecutor
Future Prophecies - Wonderland (VIP mix)

LOVING these two at the moment.

Stuff off Metalheadz should do the trick. Goldie based stuff.

Then some Noisia and other things, Rufige Cru again...They recently bought out a new LP which was limited release unfortunatly but it is stonkingly deep and dirty. Or some DJ GIS stuff.

For me at the moment im really into a liquid vibe, probably due to summer.

Ghostface Killah - Back Like Dat (Marky and Bungle remix)
http://www.redeyerecords1.co.uk/sounds/10228.asf

Mutt - Scarborough EP
Pretty much everything and anything by Alix Perez

Drifer (Noisia) - Leola
http://www.redeyerecords1.co.uk/sounds/cat7259b.asf

Calibre stuff, like again, pretty much anything and everything. Mr Majestic etc..
Check out the "Horizon Music" label if you are feeling those tracks ^^

Another big tune im feeling atm is Sigma - All Blue. Has a liquidy feel but also the jump up to go with it.

Bought some older stuff in last week aswell, got a few classic Mampi tracks in. Omni Trio, Dom and Roland etc..

Dom and Roland - Just So You Know
http://www.redeyerecords1.co.uk/sounds/cat5577b.asf
