Scottish Electronica

[obuchiteck]

Does any one know of any good Electronica Scottish music. I DJ nightclubs here in Chicago and would love to have some Bagpipeing Techno Choons to play in the club. Something to keep everyone on there toes.

Tanzwut is a decent group, and the only one I know of that incorporates the pipes into that basic style of music, although they're more of an EBM sound.

Croft No Five is close to what I’m looking for, but something just a bit more Housey or Ravey. I need something to play in a night club. Chunky beats and four on the floor kind of stuff. Any suggestions?

BTW,. I just bought Croft No Five (I really dig the choon!)

And I’m also going to buy some Tanzwut, they kind of remind me of KMFDM.

I hear you. Have you ever listened to the German medieval-inspired and bagpipe driven sounds of Corvus Corax? I was thinking that mixing some of their stuff in would sound good along with the Scottish bands. I do it on my stereo anyway. Also, a good deal of the the music of Martyn Bennett was rave-oriented stuff. I was thinking of his some of the tracks on the album Bothy Culture in particular.

I went to Corvus Corax's website. pretty cool, definitely different. Its begging to be dramatic theme music to a movie

No, but two hours with a recording of a good piper and Garage Band and I can make you a couple of 'em...

[Deasan]

Yes friends, Tanzwut is a good band too.

Hedningarna from Sweden (they use bagpipes but not on this awesome clip) is another fantastic band!

Does this help you any?

There's a dj called ballboy (on this site), I think he does something cool called "I hate Scotland", terrific video for it.
