Non DJ music.... What do you guys listen to in your time off?

[squidot]

Though I primarily listen to DnB, House, Techno, (deep) Dubstep/Future_Garage, I also listen to a broad range of
(non-EDM) genres. I'm on the road a lot for my profession, so there is lots of time for tunes.
Here are some of the albums I've listened to in the past week or so:

Radiohead - King of Limbs
Fiona Apple - Tidal
Metallica - ...And Justice For All
Sade - Lovers Rock
Fugazi - 13 Songs
Black Star - Self Titled
The Editors - The Back Room
Bjork - Homogenic
The Verve - A Northern Soul
Antipop Consortium - Shopping Carts Crashing
Sunny Day Real Estate - Diary
The Smiths - The Queen is Dead
The Dynospectrum - Self titled

hey, another sunny day real estate fan! i love the rising tide and how it feels to be something on. i could never quite get into diary though. have you ever listened to their other project the fire theft? another amazing album right there.

everything from 1920's styled gypsy jazz, chillout music to progressive metal and hardcore

i love all types of music which is what got me into djing. i tend to listen to many types of electronic music but also frequent some rnb, hip hop, jazzy stuff, and my first real love was rock so here are some of the rock bands that shaped a period of my life:

blinker the star
sunny day real estate
chris cornell's first solo album (and soundgarden)
silverchair....i mean seriously, if you haven't listened to diorama or young modern you need to do so right now!
jeff buckley
ken andrews (failure, year of the rabbit, on)
the mars volta
stone temple pilots
nine inch nails
marilyn manson
muse
self (an artist that never quite broke though and i have no idea why...he's so good!)
the beatles
foo fighters
alien ant farm
spymob
tool and a perfect circle (though maynard's shit attitude during the live shows i saw and the fact that most tool fans are arseholes kept me away from them for a bit - great talent from all involved though, no doubt).
billy talent
dredg
jellyfish
blind melon
jason faulkner
the grays

i know i'm forgetting a bunch but that's what i can think of off the top of my head. dont even get me started on the rest of the genres i love that i never quite get around to djing.

I mostly listen to house/ techno/ dnb even while driving around.

However I've always been a huge metal fan. Fave bands being
Emperor
Children of Bodom
Wintersun
Immortal
Metallica
Megadeth
Kamelot
Dimmu Borgir

I also like classic rock, mostly Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath
and when it comes to hip hop, Eminem, Dr Dre, Jay-Z (hence, J-Zed), NWA, WuTang

i grew up on (nu) metal so I still get a major kick out of KoRn, Coal Chamber, Mudvayne, Tool etc stuff of that nature

KoRn is still one of my favourite bands of all time. I still know almost every song from KoRn through to Issues. Untouchables was okay, then imo they started to go the route of NIN but sucked at it.

There's no such thing as Dj music, you can spin whatever you like..

Can you give me some info on the metal and country music DJ scenes in your area?

I want to hear somebody try and beatmatch heavy metal blastbeats. Would be epic

[Lilac]

Nah, I listen to the same thing I spin. House the whole way... UK DnB coming as a close second.

Yeah, I have listened to Fire theft, and i don't really like it. My favorite stuff is their earlier material. That's why I like Diary so much.....raw, emotional, and the instrumentation & production is off the charts!
