The site, in 2007
Kenneth Taylor's interactive Flash map of electronic music, laying out its subgenres as a family tree with sound clips and opinionated notes.
First posted in 1999, it grew to 153 subgenres and 818 sound files, a few of the genres made up by Ishkur himself. CMJ praised its easy navigation, and a Flash-free version 3.0 came out in 2019.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
Cult Classics: Small, strange and loved to bits by the people who found them.
