One of the greatest benefits of the Rock Band Network is its ability to introduce genres that you would typically not find on Rock Band. Don’t get us wrong, we love hard rock guitar riffs (of course), but we also love the variety of music available on RBN. Since its March launch, the Rock Band Network store has already featured a wide range of non-rock genres, including classical, hip-hop, blues, and country. RockGamer Studios is about to break new ground again, and we hope you brought your dancing shoes.

We simply haven’t seen enough techno and hard dance on RBN. Scott Attrill, aka Vinylgroover, is here to fix that.
