Ishkur's Guide to Electronic Music

Trance? Techno? House? Jungle? Hardcore? What's the difference between them anyway? They all sound like un-tss un-tss because all electronic dance music does so. I found this neat little (massive) guide to electronic music made by some mysterious person by the alias 'Ishkur'. Pretty cool, years are like the rings inside a tree trunk and different music styles that split and form nodes and crazy lumps and things and you can hear examples of each style of music and learn how sounds change through the ages and travel different cultures. Although in the last 10 years there has been an explosion of new styles of music (dubstep, reggaeton that has actually been around for a while, this new trancey DnB sound and a resurgence of electro), the guide still kicks ass an is not that out of date. How much work was put into it!
