Electronica: second Sighting.

Electronica refers to a wide range of contemporary electronic music designed for a wide range of uses, including foreground listening, some forms of dancing, and background music for other activities; but unlike electronic dance music, it is not specifically made for dancing. The term was first used in the United States in the early 1990s with regards to post-rave global-influenced electronic dance music. Genres such as techno, drum and bass, downtempo, and ambient are among those encompassed by the umbrella term, entering the American mainstream from "alternative" or "underground" venues during the late 1990s. Prior to the adoption of electronica for this purpose, terms such as electronic listening music, trance and intelligent dance music (IDM) were used. The All Music Guide categorizes electronica as a top-level genre on their main page, where they state that electronica includes "dozens of stylistic fusions" ranging from danceable grooves to music for headphones and chillout areas. After beginning as an underground genre in the early 1990s, electronica has grown to influence even mainstream crossover recordings, with one prominent example being Madonna's 2005 Confessions on a Dancefloor, that sold more than 8 million copies worldwide, and debuted at number one in 29 different countries, a world record for a solo artist. Elements of electronica are used today by many popular artists in mainstream music.

Fila Brazillia.



Steve Cobby and Dave McSherry are Fila Brazillia and that's about all we need to know. The music speaks for its self and that, it seems, is the way the band likes it. An underground following is building for this group, who may be known more for their remixes than actual album recordings on the U.K. label Pork. This will change! Remixes for the likes of Radiohead, Busta Rhymes, Unkle and Mixmaster Morris (complete listing can be found at http://www.pork.co.uk/html/info.html) to name a few have resulted in tracks that always bring a new twist on the original. Their remix of "Awesome Wells" turns the song into a down tempo shuffle full of the funk you would expect from a Fila mix! Check out their new label Tritone and web site at www.tritone.co.uk. You can even peep a 360-degree view of their stuido set up.

Leftfield were a duo of electronica artists and record producers, Paul Daley (formerly of The Rivals, A Man Called Adam and the Brand New Heavies) and Neil Barnes, formed in 1989 in London, England. The name Leftfield was originally used simply by Neil Barnes for the first single Not Forgotten but after this Paul Daley was involved firstly in remixing songs and then in the creation of following music. The pair were pioneers in the fields of intelligent dance music and progressive house, being among the first to fuse house music with dub and reggae. They furthermore were among the first electronic musicians to incorporate live guest vocalists, along with The Chemical Brothers and Underworld. Ultimately the duo have been influential on the electronic genre as a whole, with The Crystal Method's Scott Kirkland referring to them in 2005 as "The best Electronic band, period
