mcbpete Posted October 2, 2016 Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 Isn't it just a renamed version of trance music anyway - The stuff that gets played in Tomorrowland etc. never really sounded any different to what Paul Van Dyk, System F. and Energy 52 were doing in the 90s (but with slightly different synth presets) Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide all signatures I haven't eaten a Wagon Wheel since 07/11/07... ilovecubus.co.uk - 25ml of mp3 taken twice daily.

FLA FUR BIS FLE Posted October 2, 2016 Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 (edited) I never thought I would say this, but I would take the Mortal Kombat/Mortal Kombat 2/Spawn Era soundtrack of Electronic Music in the US any day over this shit. edit* I remember hearing this one and thinking "it doesn't even sound in time". Sure enough, years later, it is even worse than I once thought. I would still take it.

TubularCorporation Posted October 2, 2016 Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 I really don't pay any attention to that kind of music so, pitchfork notwithstanding, I liked reading that, it was a good overview of some of the most embarrassing things to come out of it in the past few years that I hadn't heard about. AVicii going country and that horrible Zac Ephron movie are my favorites I think.

Soloman Tump Posted October 2, 2016 Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 Something else will happen soon. Dubstep for all its sins did at least tread new musical ground for a while. Entry level dance music will always exist in some form, and 10% of the punters and artists involved go on to enjoy and Crete better music. That's just how it is.
