Millionaires (band)
Millionaires is an American electronic music group currently consisting of Melissa Marie Green. The group, formed in August 2007, originally consisted of Green and her sister Allison Green. The group are widely known for mixing heavily explicit lyrics with an electropop backing. Their image and lyrics generated strong controversy during their early years (mainly for using explicit words in nearly all of their songs). The band released three EPs, several singles—including "Stay the Night", which managed to chart for a short time in the UK, and their debut album, ''Tonight'', released in March 2013. In March 2016 they released a single with producer Wade Martin titled "When I'm Single".

The members are also widely known as being one of the first to become "Internet famous" (su ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Techno
Techno is a genre of electronic dance music (EDM) which is generally produced for use in a continuous DJ set, with tempo often varying between 120 and 150 beats per minute (bpm). The central rhythm is typically in common time (4/4) and often characterized by a repetitive four on the floor beat. Artists may use electronic instruments such as drum machines, sequencers, and synthesizers, as well as digital audio workstations. Drum machines from the 1980s such as Roland's TR-808 and TR-909 are highly prized, and software emulations of such retro instruments are popular. Much of the instrumentation in techno emphasizes the role of rhythm over other musical parameters. Techno tracks mainly progress over manipulation of timbral characteristics of synthesizer presets and, unlike forms of EDM that tend to be produced with synthesizer keyboards, techno does not always strictly adhere to the harmonic practice of Western music and such structures are often ignored in favor of timbr ...

UK Hardcore
Happy hardcore, also known as 4-beat or happycore, is a subgenre of hardcore dance music or "hard dance". It emerged both from the UK breakbeat hardcore rave scene, and Belgian, German and Dutch hardcore techno scenes in the early 1990s. History Origins The breakbeat hardcore rave scene was beginning to fragment by late 1992 into a number of subsequent breakbeat-based genres: darkcore (tracks embracing dark-themed samples and stabs), hardcore jungle (reggae basslines and influences became prominent), and 4-beat also known as ''happy hardcore'' where piano rolls and uplifting vocals were still central to the sound. DJs such as Slipmatt, DJ Sy, DJ Seduction, Wishdokta, DJ Dougal, and DJ Vibes continued to play and put out music of this nature throughout 1993/4 – notably Slipmatt through the ''SMD'' releases, Wishdokta as ''Naughty Naughty'', and Seduction on the ''Impact'' label. In mainland Europe, new beat and hardcore techno from Belgium had spread into Germany and the N ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
