Heard a Kaskade/Deadmau5 track on Area that I was going crazy over than I find out it's eight years old, WTF. (Move For Me)
Popping the Drop: A Timeline of How EDMs Bubble Burst
I could write a novel about this article and it amazes me how incompetent the writer of a major publication like Pitchfork is and has no clue about the EDM scene.
This is complete bullshit, it's like they don't have a basic understanding of trends in music. I could easily pull up some Google stats and show several artists who are trending now more than ever on Google (look up Jack U, Flume, Kygo and DJ Snake as examples). Not to mention they only focused on SFX's poor business decisions and management, including Tomorrowworld and EZoo's events, while conveniently leaving out every other EDM event organization. My favorite part was "Miami Music Week was dead" when Ultra sold out faster than any year in recent memory.
You could do this about lots of genres. I can write an article about tons of people getting hospitalized or arrested at a Keith Urban concert near me and proclaim as a result that Country is dead. As much as I don't like country, that couldn't be farther from the truth.
They should really stay out of subjects like this and stick to writing about indie music.
Yeah it's hard to imagine it can get any bigger at this point BUT I think it will healthily sustain itself in the future, and what becomes mainstream will evolve. I think that's the point these guys miss, and a lot of people in general who are always talking about the "EDM Bubble". Damn though this article was awfulOdd article, it just lists a bunch of bad incidents that have happened over the last few years LOL
(Even though I do agree we have reached the "peak of EDM", it will continue to trend downward as the young kids only going for the Molly will burn out.)
Apparently HARD will be 18+ this summer and Stereosonic is getting cancelled.
I'm glad someone posted about this because I almost asked this same question a while ago.I'm not really digging this Future Bass or Future trend. It is a unique sound but I don't like it. Really dislike this bandwagonning off of each other. Tritonal, The Chainsmokers, Zedd, W&W, Martin Garrix, etc.
What do you folks think of this trend? I can admit that it is better than the Tropical and Deep House trend of last year.
I have no idea what future bass is.
Future sucks
Deep house sucks
Tropical sucks
Good point Aomber. I listened to both songs back to back and I can totally see and hear what you are talking about. They made Future Bass "EDM" aka about the drop. There's nothing in the beginning that is remotely creative and that applies to the end too. It all rides until that drop and the middle. It seems like there is no creativity right now with these trends and I can kind of see why many people rag on EDM and Electronic right now.
I will only listen to Future Bass if it happens to be San Holo or Hyper Potions. Those three make incredible Future Bass and the former also makes great Trap music.
Can't tell you guys how many years I've been wanting one of these. Thought I would share
Yeah that's how I feel. I like my good share of popular EDM but I totally understand why people crap on it. The problem with those people is they also hate on the stuff that's actually good because they don't get it, popular or not. It sucks because there's always going to be good music and not so good music no matter what genre it is, just wish people would be more open minded.
I gotta say though I got really tired of a lot (definitely not all, but a lot) of music that follows that kind of break-drop-break-drop format. There's nothing wrong with the format but so many guys make songs like they took a recipe out of a cookbook and followed it to a fine point. Like, there's so many sonic possibilities and variety I'm all for getting inspired by music but I don't get it when they can't mix their own cocktails in the process. I may have said this before but I feel like it should be re-iterated on the subject of future bass and trends.
EDIT: The one group I think are pretty good right now who are making future bass is Grey. I'm not really a big fan of Zedd's Candyman (they worked on that) and they're not always superbly original but they have a couple gems, most notably this. I love the infected mushroom vibe. Also I haven't checked out the artists you mentioned I may have to do that!
Kaskade - Disarm You ft. Ilsey (Grey Remix)
Yeah I hear what you're saying, like to be honest with you I wasn't big on Flume when I first heard him (since we're talking about him) but I realize now he's a genius. Always hard when something's a little bit different – I've become a lot more accepting of different music quicker as I've listened to more and more, and more often than not I prefer it.Yea, at least put some individuality into your tracks. Try adding in new instruments, a warped vocal, just something.
One thing that sucks about now is that some people listen to just one track and people already are accustomed to that sound. So when they hear something out of the left field, "uh.... this track sucks." Which goes to show that first impressions are really, REALLY important in music. We, as humans, are starting to have a shorter and shorter attention span and memory. Once we hear a certain sound, we settle for that and disregard the same sound from another artist.
It's just the way human beings are right now, sadly. I'm guilty of it too and (not accusing EDM-GAF) and we are too. It's not just EDM but EDM and Electronic Music received an insurgence these past something years and we are seeing it firsthand. It's still new to some people. Same thing happened to other genres of music and it's happening right now.
EDM and Electronic Music is still evolving. We are now in the semi-golden age of modern EDM and Electronic Music ^_^
Lmao! I was wondering what the first gif you posted was. That's really exciting though been loving some Zhu recently������
Edit: Holy fuck Imgur, is a "copy image link" option on mobile too much to ask for?
He's a huge nerd, seems pretty fitting. Dude plays a ton of Diablo.I still find it surreal that deadmau5 is on Twitch hah. It's just so weird for a person of his caliber to be on such a site. I know there have been plenty of other celebrities that have appeared on Twitch but they rarely stick around unlike deadmau5.
How often does he stay home?

holy shit this is real lmfao
that's pretty rad
coachella this week, pals. so excited for jack u and underworld.
Meet you in front
Listen to Above & Beyond's Group Therapy podcast for a good taste of the Anjunabeats stage. Mostly prog house and trance, although Seven Lions is more melodic dubstep sort of stuff.Hey EDM gaf,
I've been lurking this thread for a couple months but have never really had anything worthwhile to post so have kept quiet. I haven't been into the edm scene for that long, I'm mostly into hip-hop and rap but over the past 2 years have been going to more festivals and really fell in love with the music and edm scene. I'm really digging a lot of the music you guys have been posting in this thread and you guys have broadened my tastes, and for that I want to say thanks.
With that said, are there any Western Canadians (or anywhere close) here coming to Chasing Summer this year? The lineup was officially released this morning and I'm super excited, especially since I don't have to leave the city to attend.
I'm familiar with the headliners and bigger names on the first 4 lines (& MOTi) but don't know much about anyone else below them, and was hoping I could get some suggestions of songs to listen to from you guys.
Hoping to participate more in this thread and find even more great music. Thanks!
Wanna buy me a ticket and bring me with you 😇holy shit this is real lmfao

hmm, netsky, seven lions, and marshmello kick ass, but I don't know if I'd want to drive 8 hours to see them. zeds dead has lost their way in recent years unfortunately, party favours remix of Dillon Francis is pretty good but I haven't heard anything else from them. garrix, hardwell are whatever but chainsmokers have been doing pretty decent stuff lately weird that they're a headliner thoughHey EDM gaf,

Trance tends to be higher BPM between 130-140 and usually associated with more emotional harmoniesCan anyone explain to me the difference between house and trance? And what does progressive mean? I've asked some friends but they have a hard time explaining it to me. I think that I like trance but unsure if I like house. I do know for a fact that I do not like deep house though, I need drops! Haha

Gaia - Empire Of Hearts (Original Mix)
Mat Zo - Don't Say The T Word
House is a pretty loose term, but basically it's more or less any EDM that's 128 BPM with certain exceptions like Tropical House (think Kygo). Progressive House can mean two things depending who you ask, you have the type that guys like Zedd and Calvin Harris make on one end, with deadmau5 and Eric Prydz as examples on the other end. For the former I prefer saying "Pop progressive house" because it's easy to confuse the two and those first names are clearly more on the Pop end of the spectrum.
Pop prog house:
Zedd - Beautiful Now ft. Jon Bellion
Calvin Harris - Sweet Nothing ft. Florence Welch
Prog house:
Eric Prydz - Liberate
Deadmau5 + Kaskade - I Remember [Vocal Mix] (1080p) || HD
Classic(True ) Progressive house:
(or pretty much anything on the old Global Underground imprint)
In terms of not liking drops, you'll change your mind eventually if you hang out here long enough hehe
