Great songs don't necessarily need a piano.
In the Denver market, electronica gets about 45 minutes of airtime each day on one station. And given the declining quality of even that, I've turned to internet streams for my techno fix.
Here's a highlight. It's mesmerizing. Hypnotic. Euphoric. This is good stuff. You can't help but get into it. Yes, a common complaint is that it's "repetitive," but to the trained ear, you can pick up on crescendos, ethereal voices, and the surprisingly graceful harmony that can accompany a rapid beat.
As much as I love the genre, it can be insanely frustrating. The tracks don't always have lyrics, so trying to figure out the title can be next to impossible. But I was fortunate to learn the title of this remixed "Crayons" track. Produced by Starkid (real name Adam Spears), it's a pleasure to listen to (and dance to, if you have the talent). Sadly, Adam Spears was killed in a car crash at the young age of 18.
I'm sure he would have been delighted at this song's popularity within the genre. This remix was produced in his memory.
