Ishkur's Guide to Electronic Music
Electronic music is generally subdivided into seven genres: House, Trance, Techno, Breakbeat, Jungle (AKA Drum and Bass), Hardcore, and Downtempo. Iskur's brilliant graphical-musical interface allows you to explore the evolution of these distinct genres over the last fifty years. He provides opinionated commentary and musical samples of electronic sub-genres with names like liquid funk, industrial, glitch, microhouse, and my favorite, buttrock goa (a surprisingly successful marriage of Indian trance music and heavy metal).

we are going to be in tela and la ceiba the week of dec. 29 to jan 5. will there be any electronic music available?
suggestions from a native?
thanks
Anne,
The good news is that last December early January is a beautiful time to visit Tela and La Ceiba. The weather should be great.
The bad news is that unless you include extremely loud reggaeton music in your definition of electronic music, you might be disappointed with what you hear in the discos. My advice to you would be to go with the flow. People really know how to dance down here. Sometimes the dance clubs feel like you are in a Daddy Yankee video.
There is one annual electronic music festival here in Honduras. Its called Sun Jam. Its on the island of Utila. Here is their website:

Maybe they are throwing a party around the holidays?
The best dance club in La Ceiba right now is called Hibou. Its your best bet:

Hope this helps,
Tom
