With EGO DSP are you making fun of Burial, Thom Yorke, Four Tet...?

 

Aaron Funk: No, they make fun of themselves.

Still trying to figure out how this sounds like he's taking the piss out of other musicians. IRONICALLY ENOUGH, IT SOUNDS AS IF "EGO DSP" IS VSNARES TAKING THE PISS OUT OF VSNARES. DISCUSS.

i really, really love how mean the Oasis bros are especially considering their music ain't all that great to begin with. they must be self-aware of this. any publicity is good publicity? or are they still the biggest selling band in Britain?

they're not , or have never been, really that mean, tho. apart from Noel saying he wished Damon dies of Aids.

but , really, they've never been too clever. and the people who think they are, are not too clever themselves.

and to answer your question, i don't think they've been a biggest selling band in Britain for a long time.

Oasis are dead. thank fuck.

Strange.. I was always under the impression that Oasis were highly influenced by shoegaze stuff.

oddly RDJ said he thought radiohead was shit but in a previous interview said he liked Oasis and considered *them to be 'the new beatles' was that a classic RDJ quip or truth?

I was talking sound-wise, at least their first album is pretty noisy, I would've thought they'd taken some tips from jesus and mary chain or something..

even soundwise the first oasis album is a pretty skilful fusion of mostly beatles chord progressions and t-rex guitar sounds, i think.

a lot of the britpop stuff was a reaction to the shoegaze that immediately preceded it, i guess. the britpop people saw the shoegazers as pretentious, and the shoegazers saw the britpop movement as dumb as dogshit. both viewpoints had their merits, to a degree.

 

and then there was pulp who just continued being awesome.

i agree, some britpop was a reaction to shoegaze. but some had influences (mostly) from the 60's..

Pulp, however, you can't pin them down. they're great. although i don't like all their stuff. some of it is shit.

but i think a lot of britpop was not as dumb as dogshit. just like most shoegaze wasn't pretentious.

some of it was utter crap, tho. just like in any scene. you get the followers and late comers on the band wagon,

but by then it's boring.. anyway. unless you have a wicked tune!

so where did i miss the reason to hate skrillex? i checked out some tracks on youtube and they're awesome. is it not cool to like melodic dance music anymore?

 

People just love to hate on the popular cool kids that are trending. Skrillex has huge talent. The guy successfully transitioned from being the singer of a well known hardcore band to being the darling child of dubstep almost overnight. How many people can do something like that? And he does it all using just a laptop with Ableton Live. The guy doesn't even have a proper midi controller and he's making music that rips people's heads off and tons of producers are trying to emulate. Major props to him. I don't care what anyone says.

 

sorry, it's kind of an argumentative cop-out to employ this observation, but the fact that you actually BOUGHT all the Skrillex BS (succesfully transitioned overnight, produces on just laptop with ableton with some shitty speakers) pretty much instantly singles you out as either young, or simple.

 

a) i was "there" when he was in a "hardcore" band. i was very much into post-hardcore at the time From First to Last started "trending", and that band, plus the wave of imitators that followed (Aiden, for example) was both a the first and final nail in its coffin. Atrocious music that single-handedly attracted the derogatory use of the "emo" handle. i have nothing against high-pitched vocals, but there are miles of lines in the sand between this

and this

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yG6iw7AeWE

 

if the second vid doesn't instantly cause you to go "gaaaaaaaayyy!!!!", then.... i dunno... i guess: enjoy your Twilight saga, tween fag.

 

i was gonna recommend some proper post-hardcore, but I'm going to wait for your feelings on FFTL, so I know if i'm wasting my time.

 

2. he didn't transition shit. after leaving FFTL he struggled for years producing horrid near-outsider-music-quality emotronica shite like this

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XaRAOFkbdIM

 

this is by far the most PASSABLE output from that timeframe, sadly the HILARIOUS shit that was on his myspace isn't there anymore

 

3. "darling child of dubstep", "music that rips people's heads off and tons of producers are trying to emulate" hahahaha. what, you've been reading mau5trap promos like they were actual reviews?

 

he first heard "dubstep" something like... one year ago, via a second-, if not a third-hand source: Borgore. he actually admits to this in an interview. as emo kids will be, he was instantly drawn to the sound. so, first he does some awful remixes and a shitty EP of "br000tal" "electrohouse" and "dubstep" "tunes" with awful cheesy speech-synth verses and sound-design based around the philosophy of turning distortion up to 11.

 

then media blackout.

 

then, 6 months later, album chock-full of tracks with top-notch production on the drops (I'll admit to that, but honestly who GIVES A SHIT about basses made with the "modern talking" wavetable in Massive anymore?! a horse beaten well into putrefaction, that) but with the most awful fucking melodies and dismally chopped-up whiny grating vocals in between the drops. almost like... parts on the same song weren't made by the same person! gasp...

 

of course, you have no idea who I am, nor will I make it in any way clear who I am, and you, of course, have no reason to believe me. but, nevertheless, the story goes like this:

 

Spor takes some time off from working on his debut album as Feed Me (which also comes out on mau5trap a couple of months after Skrillex's, and sounds almost like a much much much much better and bereft of the revoltingly, vomit-inducing saccharine cheese of the former) and reworks some of his album out-takes into usable drops.

Excision and Datsik get a call, make some guy some drum loops and some Massive patches, get paid.

Noisia are called in for a little R&D.

Deadmau5 (who is by no means untalented) looms over the entire process.

 

And so we arrive at this Frankenstein's monster of aggro popular dance music that is "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites" (good name!). I find it really funny that this is being said in a Britney thread... quite appropriate. Same degree of a "collaborative" effort, nonetheless.

 

anyways, the "rips people's heads off" and "producers are trying to emulate" doesn't ring so true anymore, does it? i don't see anyone struggling to emulate the whiny emo crap he does by himself on top, more like i see people trying to emulate the kind of drops they've been trying to emulate for years, ever since excision, datsik, 16bit, noisia, spor, borgore and other splendid producers with appropriate mileage hit the spotlight.

 

now you might be thinking... "but if he ain't doing anything himself, what would be the point of paying all these other guys to ghost produce, instead of just releasing more material by the guys themselves?"

 

well, very simple: excision is a guy from middle Canada with a hoodie, and kind of a hard man. noisia are three down to earth dudes from the netherlands. spor is a soft-spoken aphex fan. skrillex is a meth-head who chain smokes, tweeks out, looks like a goth Mowgli, and so on. and that will always do wonders for the angsty rebellious tween demographic. and skrillex had been on WB's roster ever since working with Ross Robinson on FFTL's Heroine. they saw an opportunity, and had the perfect poster child for it. they threw some wads of money around, did some beatport top 10 magic, and, voila, MrSparkle666 has a new favorite "dubstep" "musician" with heaps of "talent" to his name.

 

But, of course, you "don't care what anyone says". Fine, enjoy willful ignorance and willful bad taste.

damn.

like somebody else said... just make your own music, and stfu, basically. :)

Holy shit, is that Saibot post credible? That's intense if so. Wow. I dig Spor and Noisia and all those guys. Pretty interesting stuff.

Also, I wanted to say that the “bad” and the “good” hardcore examples sound exactly the same to me. Worse hair in #2 I guess.

Also, I should clarify that I am 30 years old and probably an idiot.

Yeah Noisia are awesome. One of the few dance 'bands' I've heard in the last few years who actually put some effort into their melodic content.

Yeah! They're great. Their Fabric mix is so, so fun. One of my favorites.

Basically Zomby looped a 1min track from an obscure artist that he 'collabed' with over soundcloud, had it released under his name and made it clear he'd no intentions of crediting the artist

Yeah, I just remembered that. He also said it deserved to get a million views on Youtube or some shit.

Seriously, what a dick hole.

Regarding lube's post, I'm not surprised. Virtually the same thing happened with Justice's debut album, they were graphic designers with an attitude, backed by a small army of top notch producers. I mean just look at Sonny. He has been around for no time at all (say what you will about deadmau5, but he was a respected producer for a long time on message boards and such before he got big), in every interview and youtube clip of him, his whole demeanor screams "I have no fucking idea what I'm doing but I'm off my glorious manboobs and having a good time".

Yes, next time we are drinking round there I'll be sure to take a photo. This may not happen for some time, but I promise I will come back to this thread with the goods.
