Ishkur's Guide to Electronic Music
Template:Short description Ishkur's Guide to Electronic Music is an interactive online guide to electronic music created by Kenneth John Taylor, aka Ishkur.[1] The website consists of 153 subgenres and 818 sound files.[2] Genres include little-known ones like terrorcore and chemical breakbeat, and more popular genres like house or techno, diagrammed in a flowchart style.[1]
History
The guide was originally posted in 1999 as a Flash website and continually updated until 2001.[3]
On December 11, 2016, Ishkur announced on Twitter that a new version of the guide would be released in 2017.[4] Due to delays, Version 3.0 of the guide was instead released on August 20, 2019.[5][6] Unlike the first two versions of the guide, the updated version no longer uses Adobe Flash.[7]
Reception
CMJ New Music Monthly praised the website for its "...ease of navigation, pithy genre descriptions, and fairly accurate audio accompaniment..."[1] Oliver Hurley of The Guardian referred to the site as an "epic online endeavour", but pointed that several of the genres were made up by Ishkur, such as "Buttrock Goa".[2]
