Hi all,

Since a few years there is a new genre of Christian music available in Europe, called Christian EDM (Electronic House Music). For example the latest CD made by DJ Flubbel: "Christian House". I keep hearing people who don't know of the existence of this genre, so I am wondering if you people already know about it, and what you think of it...

To give you an example here the trailer of the CD Christian House:

Other examples are: The Edge or the album of TonyFoxx.

i'm a fan of Matthew Parker, Swedish Revolution, AAA band, DJ Jireh, Dj Siah, Mayfairgrin, Re5a, Josiah Kramer, etc. too.

there's actually a great lot of gospel EDM and Christian EDM / EBM / dub / etc. artists out there, and with soundcloud and other such resources it's a lot easier to find them now than it was a decade ago. 20 years ago groups like Jyradellix and Deitiphobia were making gospel music in this genre, but these days it's become a lot more accessible. the internet isn't all
bad =]

Like so-called "Christian Rock", and "Christian Metal",
this "Christian Techno" sounds identical to the world's music.
No separation. Unscriptural.
You asked.

Well, I dissagree, on the Christian House album most of the tracks use original scriptures from the bible. And I think the real Christian dance has a clear Christian message, about the love of God for example.

@ Posthuman: Thanks for all the names, cool to hear some more names! I am gonna check them out soon! Btw, Matthew Parker and Jireh are both on the Christian House CD (as bonustracks!)

There are a few of his type on here who thinks that everyone needs to think like him and to have a different viewpoint is a sin. Its kind of like 'i have nothing biblical to back me up but if you disagree with ME its a sin'. And here i thought God was the one in charge and it was HIS rules, not mens. So i just ignore these ignorant control freaks anymore. They like to ignore parts of the bible that refute their attitude and twist scripture to support their own ideology.

Why do you let Gnostic beliefs inhabit your worship of God? The Enemy can't create anything, that includes music genres. All genres were birthed from the Church throughout its extensive and worldwide history.

Bob Marley quoted Scripture verbatim in his music.
Ask me how I know.
He was buried with a Bible opened to Psalm 23 laid on his chest.
I would submit that he was neither Christian nor sending a Christian message.

Rock, metal, techno, reggae, et al, are carnal music, not spiritual.
I listen to carnal worldly music, but I don't delude myself that it's pleasing to God.
It's not.

I've said this before and I'll say it again:
Adding pure water to a glass of dirt doesn't clean the dirt, it defiles the water.

I've got a new one:
Putting cherries on a cheesecake doesn't make it good for you.

Would you play your "Christian House" techno-music in the physical presence of Jesus Christ?

I don't make a habit out of enumerating other people's sins.
I have enough of my own to be concerned with.

I could list many verses that back up my position, but that would
open an exegetical can of worms that would produce no fruit.

The gentleman asked for opinions, I gave mine.
Nothing against the music itself,
I simply don't agree that it's glorifying to God.
It's carnal. It feeds the flesh.

I think I get where you're coming from. You're different from a good many of the detractors. You aren't calling anything that isn't a hymn Satanic, you're arguing they are not appropriate for worship.

I agree with you and don't agree with you at the same time - I guess I could be a politician? I have some very nice Christian metal that I like to listen to and I find is edifying, but I would not recommend it's usage in a church worship service due to the confusion it would surely cause. The lyrics in this music are actually better than the lyrics in some of the contemporary music out there in Christian circles (I'm sorry, praise music needs to liberally use the name of Jesus or scriptural concepts to reaffirm said scriptural concepts).


I very much appreciate the fact that you aren't picking and choosing what instruments are satanic and what instruments aren't.

If that is true you shouldn't listen to music at all.
What makes a song 'christian' (or secular for that matter) is not the music itself, but the lyrics and the life style of the artist(s).

Bob Marley also encouraged the usage of mind-altering drugs, which is not Christian..

Marley himself was not a Christian. At best a rastafarian.

i like the way Paul thinks.


Philippians 1:15-18

" It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill. The latter do so out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel. The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can stir up trouble for me while I am in chains. But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice. "

maybe we should adopt such an attitude instead of a scornful one.

is there some moment that i'm not in His presence? He is with us always!

if merely "not sounding different from worldly music" is the litmus test, there is no musical style in the universe that isn't used at some point in secular songs. every hymn in your hymnal and every ditty on the 700 club is no different from worldly music of its day. you want to say it's OK to listen to "How Great Thou Art" because it doesn't sound like what you hear on secular radio today? go back to the time it was written. i challenge you to listen to the popular worldly songs of the late 1800's and tell me how different that hymn is with regards to music. it's no different. what makes it different is its intent and its lyrics, not the musical structure or the instruments used to play it.

hey so you are djflubbel? i have a couple tracks from soundcloud of yours that i really enjoy; i play them on plug.dj and turntable.fm for my friends in the Christian music rooms - props!

with regards to Bob Marley,
most of his family and close friends attest to the fact that he accepted Christ in the last few days before he died.
all the same i think it's immaterial.

this discussion has taken place more than once in this forum - take a look at how the epistles treat clean & unclean food, and meat sacrificed to idols, if you want to get an idea of what scripture has to say about the matter. it's the one who is weak in his faith that shouldn't eat meat sacrificed to idols - but "to the pure, all things are pure" (Titus 1:15)

i just wanted say --

check out Glyptic Minority too, more good Christian Electro.
Remixes | Glyptic Minority

and Soulchasm - another one of my favorites
