Any suggestions? I've searched, but nothing usefull.. Maybe some of you guys know some?

Thanks!!
Have you ever heard of Ofra Haza, specifically the dance version of "Im Nin' Alu"? It's on iTunes from the Ofra Haza - Greatest hits Box Set.

I'm not sure it's what you're looking for but it's pretty amazing. Actually I don't think it's Asian either :blink: .

Yea, I heard he has a voice as pleasant as his face and as original and exciting as his entire filmography.

Strange I can't find anythingh though... Ofra Haza I could find, 11 Albums downloading at the moment.. but eh, it's Israelian/Arabian :lol:

BTW, Breakbeat, BreakCore and all that kinda "nois" will do to ;)
 
Daft Punk released some Japanese only cd's a while back.... but as far as actuall asian stuff, idk
 
Try some Lee Jung Hyun A.K.A. "Queen of techno" Her 5th album went all spanish sounding but her earlier stuff like, "Bakkwo" or "Wa," might be something you want to listen to. She is Korean if you must have it Asian.


... and geographically speaking, Israeli and Arabian people live in South West Asia.
 
Megumi Hayashibara and Ayumi Hamasaki's music is usually based on techno, and very good techno at that. You'd probably also like the Initial D soundtracks (or anything from the Eurobeat label) since they're just a lot of high-quality upbeat Italo-Disco inspired techno.

If it doesn't have to be techno, Ferry Corsten, Armin van Buuren and DJ Tiesto are some great European techno artists.

Ferry Corsten, Armin van Buuren and DJ Tiesto are all from the Netherlands too I thought. But that's kinda trance-music (and I don't like that very much though(too slow))

Polisics sounds very, uhm how to say... appart :lol: But I like it :)

Thanks for all these artists! Keep em bringing up :)

The Pillows?

idk thats the type of music hes looking for (even tho japanese/asian rock is quite catchy...)



mabey try Mo Magic (i hear hes quite good) but hes from the uk (still great stuff) you shouldnt narrow yourself down to one continent imo (cause asia isnt the only place where you can find good music)

.. SLOW??! Maybe you haven't listened to the same tracks I have! Give A.V.B.'s "State of Trance" radio shows a shot. You'd probably like them. VERY Upbeat and Ferry Corsten's stuff is on there a lot. Yes, I think they are from there; I know for fact Ferry Corsten is from Holland, at any rate.

Give the stuff from Super Eurobeat (e.g. the Initial D OSTs) a shot. Very fast-paced music. It was used for a racing anime after all. You'd probably also like Italo-Disco music which, while European, shares the same style.

I tried the Super Eurobeat Initial D album, but that's absolutely not what I am looking for. Downloading 99 Eurobeat albums at the moment, maybe there's something nice on them.

About the DJ's from holland: Since I'm dutch too, I know the most tracks they bring out, but like I said, it's not really my kinda music. I'm trying to expand my music collection with new artists, with new sounds and my opinion is that Tiesto, Corsten and Armin van Buuren all sound a little bit the same to me.
