Wow.

Hellish nightmare of a DJ set.

Anyone using a mic during a DJ set should be banned from music forever.

And people clapping:please no.

Market saturation.

So much of this shit is getting made and eaten up, that no one cares to make anything else. Good news is that eventually the EDM bubble's gonna burst and move on to something even worse.

There is some pure emotion on that face, worthy of a renaissance-style oil painting rendition.

Pitchfork said the EDM bubble burst in 2015 and they have the final word in pop culture so w t f bruh get with it bring back witch house do heroin die in the back of a Honda while wearing fishnets and getting fucked by a dude in a green bodysuit

Sounds pretty great at .75x speed (and YouTube's current bitty grain size).

I'd like to go to a mega trance concert. Reckon it'd be pretty hilarious if you had the right stuff in your bloodstream.

Anyone know how to make the best supersaw? 

The reality of this situation is would you RATHER have hordes of people like this into the music we love?

I much prefer being the only fuck in a 10 mile radius that knows anything about this shit.  

Call it the backpacker, underground head inside of me.  

The less mainstream mindless drones like the music i listen to, the better I think i'm doing.

Don't despair, guys. EDM is on its way out. Has anyone noticed the burgeoning genre of funky-groovy-chillvibe-with-some-step-multipliers-thrown-in music that every popular YouTube synth reviewer seems to make?

 

I think it's called Jam. Because that's they're favorite word. Jam.

 

Why? Because Jam sounds better than "I spent 6 hours tweaking knobs and dinking around with my expensive toys and spat this out."

 

Not throwing shade, I mean, I do the same shit but I don't call it jamming to make myself sound cooler.

Wouldn't being a "jam" kind of just by definition require at least two people in the room?

That's a rhetorical question because yes, yes it would.  One person "jamming" is an oxymoron.

I think this is OK if you're a harsh noise DJ.

That's quite the saw

These pop EDM type shows are prolly aiiight, except the vibez of the general crowd might be horrible.  Dancing to music is like some ancient tribal shit, and it sucks when your tribe is full of mindless whatever people.  You'd look around and see those people drunkenly/highly being retarded, and then it hits you: "My gawd, these are my people..."  Then you'd think about your life for like a week after that.  Every time I'm out and there's some retarded shit going on, it makes me realize that I'm somehow part of that, which really puts up a massive mirror.

That being said, Fatboy Slim used to play maaassive shows- with tons of "pop people" attending- and he was pretty legit.  So maybe somehow "this type of music" is just legit in a way that maybe a lot of people here don't get.  "I don't even want to get it!"  -And I guess that's part of it.

Some of the edm tutorials are hilariously annoying

I think the thing about new EDM is it's more of a DJ tool than something you would actually listen to at home.  The production usually sounds terrible to my ear but that's because I'm not listening to it over a huge, bass heavy PA system, in a big, reverberant room full of people whose bodies soak up all of that awful high end and exaggerated transients hat are actually physically uncomfortable otherwise.  I imagine in the right context it wouldn't bother me.

There was a Deepchord interview posted in one of the threads in General Discussion the other day that says the same kind of stuff, although he's coming at it from a sort of newagey angle that doesn't really mean much to me personally.

Anyway, on the production and sound design side I think a lot of my own issues with it are down to context.
