I recommend following DVS NME if you want to keep up with current Electro. He just did his 600th (!) weekly mix yesterday, and I am very happy to be included with my most recent track Breakit.

Electronic is a broad term for any electronic music, I usually use that term for tracks that aren’t in a specific style genre or subgenre.
Electro is specific to a style/genre that came from Early Hip-hop use of the Roland 808 drum machine (artists from New York, LA, Detroit, UK, Germany, Europe, etc.). Search, Planet Rock by Afrikaa Bambataa, Numbers by Kraftwerk, Egypt Egypt by Egyptian Lover, Rockit by Herbie Hancock, Buffalo Gals by Malcolm McClaren, No UFO by Model 500, Blazing Through Life by Daniel Chavez, Simulationszeitalter by Anthony Rother, Plants by Mondaine

Heard at HÖR mix from Isa Wolff on yt, sc
(Oh, dj stingray on 30. january)
Max Durante made also great vinyl mixes there recently. ( various genres)
I remember amazing 4 turntable electro mixes from him with 2 others as roman electronic fighters (or similar) in late 90s.
Amazing sounds came from rome ( leo anibaldi, d‘arcangelo…)

While taling about Electro dominates this topic there is this magazine Electronic Sound https://electronicsound.co.uk/ Gives a wider scope about electronic music in a unique way.

In my opinion, electronic music would encompass any music that uses electronic instruments or techniques as the core of the music. Stockhausen, Kraftwerk, Laurie Anderson, Aphex Twin, Drexciya, the Prodigy, would all be considered electronic music. Siouxsie and the Banshees, Rush, The Cure, Joy Division, although they use synthesizers and things here and there, use them mostly to ‘treat’ rock music. New Order though, I think could be considered electronic music.
Electro would be a sub genre of electronic music, like acid house, trance, jungle, etc. These genres often blend into one another. I think the best way to define them is just with examples: Stuff that sounds like Drexciya and Aux 88 is electro. Stuff that sounds like Phuture Acid Trax is acid. Jungle is probably the easiest to define. Fast chopped drum sampling is the core of the music. The blending of the genres occurs in stuff like Analord, where the sound, tools, and techniques of all the genres mentioned above come together.
Mapping out overviews give some awesome insight about all those sub-gernes.

AUX 88 themselves prefer the label Techno Bass for their music, as read in the elektron talk for example. Not that it would be important…
Other thing: it made me sad to read once there is a dark side of the medal maybe around afrika bambaata. I want to forget that i read it but its difficult. Anyway, reminds to be critical about every group, idol, ideology, movement, philosophy (and the critics also of course).

Love that Locked Club track. I’ve DJd a handful of Zoom parties for friends through lockdown and almost always play it.

Lots of the legends mentioned already, a few I’ve seen both play live and Dj, but one of the dopest electro sets, or any sets for that matter, I saw was at the tail end of the 90s. Anthony Rother had somehow been convinced to bring a good amount of his gear (4-5 keyboards, a 5 foot rack of stuff, and a few drum machines/sequencers) from Germany to Arizona, and played live for two hours. It was so mental, and banging, and loud, holy shit was it loud. I remember everyone losing their minds, b-boys coming out of the woodwork, cardboard everywhere. It especially went nuts when he played this one.
