Rageaholic Monkey posted:Tonight I saw The Glitch Mob live for the first time at a festival, and they were quite possibly the greatest live electronic act I have ever seen outside of Pendulum. They had the crowd going insane for like an hour and a half straight, never letting up. They're actually playing here in Dallas tonight. But since I've been out of a job for the last month I won't be able to go see them. I did go last year though, and it was a hell of an experience.

I'm listening to a Norman Cook set from Global Gathering in 2006 and holy poo poo I forgot how good dance music was before it became all about drops and who had the fattest sausage. Seriously, when did drops constantly become the norm? I can't tolerate Big Room House, and that seems to be all it is. Is there any serious push away from it in the mainstream?

No, every set including poo poo by Norman Cook these days has been all about how many drops you can jam into something, it's awful and it trades keeping up a high energy for just kind of cheap thrills. This obviously isn't literally every set, but it's a shitload of what's headlining major festivals these days.

No need to be a (tremendous) rear end in a top hat, I'm talking about the emergence of music that is essentially defined by drops as the popular mainstream norm right now.

Which makes more sense to me considering how Armin can get 50,000 people going insane while hardly saying a word. Dude murdered the main stage at Ultra then tore it up the next day as Gaia for ASOT 650.

I don't know if recommendation requests are frowned upon in this thread ; I hope not since I'm in dire need of Electronic Music help. Let me first preface to this post that I really don't listen to music that much. When I get in my car, it's usually NPR talking about some poo poo going on in the Middle East / Africa, and I haven't changed what's in my ipod for over a year. That said, occasionally I tire of whatever they are talking about, and just want to roll down the windows and listen to some fun music with a great beat. Semi-recently I heard that ever popular Madeon (Pop-Culture) song on Youtube, and got into his stuff, and also some of the more commercial stuff you can hear on the radio easily enough (Zedd and Daft Punk come to mind), and some more recent stuff like Mako - Beam, all with vocals I might add. I absolutely love hearing the stuff, and it always puts me in a good mood, so I am looking for more like it. Since I have no idea what I'm doing in this space, and am even intimidated just posting here, what would you all recommend to me? What genre/sub genre of House is the stuff I'm describing even in, and how embarrassed should I be about what I like? Where should I be going to keep abreast with good songs in this genre? Furthermore, looking stuff up on my own, there is lots of terminology for this music, to describe different aspects of it, that I simply don't understand, and can't really find definitions on. For example, Madeon uses a quick 5 musical tonal downward sweep before a beat, and I've noticed it in other songs I like too. What is this called? Basically, I just need some happy dance music so an old guy like me can look goofy dancing in my car or with my 1-year old.

 I like that bass. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jH0H76f4sc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkSSnaHmj1M Going to see this guy tonight, gonna be good. Solvency: No need to be embarrassed, this thread can be snobby but just enjoy what you enjoy. As for finding new stuff, the best way is probably reading blogs, but I can't give good recommendations as I don't really listen to the stuff you posted. In general though, I enjoy EDM most when it's mixed in a set by a competent DJ. A good place to start is the BBC's Essential Mix, a weekly radio show where you get up to 2 hours of music mixed by the world's most famous DJs from a wide variety of backgrounds. You can just look for mixes by artists you enjoy, they are usually available on soundcloud and often downloadable. Essential mixes are always posted with tracklists, so you can just go after a certain artist whose track you enjoyed in the mix. Maybe you like this one by Feed Me: https://soundcloud.com/feedme/feed-me-bbc-radio-1-essential Another good idea is to like some artists and labels on facebook and or youtube. The artists you mention release stuff on maustrap and ultra for instance, which probably a few of the posters in this thread... are not too fond of.

Echoing the BBC Essential Mix. Some weeks you'll love it and some weeks you won't, you get a little bit of everything. As for specifics, if you like Madeon and Zedd, I'd say try out Shreddie Mercury/Jonathan Kane (I remember reading at one point he was a goon?) Porter Robinson, and maybe Knife Party

It's that time again where I post songs I've made to see if you guys like them but then other songs so its not like I'm just plugging myself!!!! So first I made this on my phone in one day when it was raining, it's just a stripped out deep track, I just like the melodies a lot. https://soundcloud.com/swanconnley/low-rain-1 This next one has been my project for weeks and it's finally finished which I'm super happy to say. I think it turned out how I wanted to so I'm content! https://soundcloud.com/swanconnley/waitin I've been going back a lot to more classic tracks and I've been trying to just flesh out more knowledge and of course just find some sweet stuff. This isn't old but here's a track by Danny Daze that's recent but definitely has the feel of endless deep grooves that I could listen to forever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxXmTLbZtzU Then also I just tried to find a bunch of garage tracks I like because garage is awesome Groove Chronicles - Stone Cold https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoeB82x5yrc 24 Hour Experience - Together THE VOCALS GET MEEE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVan0uS7Aks I bow to Masters At Work https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkYgfrf95c8 Awesome to know the original song that songs sample from! Super soulful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOGFSOqLycY Funky 80's jam that I love.

Just want to pop in to say how much I enjoy this thread with so much awesome and varying styles! So, I thought I'd try to contribute: Ole Biege - Linedance https://soundcloud.com/olebiege/ole-biege-linedance?in=olebiege/sets/linedance-e-p-monaberry Currently one of my favourite songs right now, a little bit of silliness but still fun to listen to. Professor Kliq - Wire and Flashing Lights https://soundcloud.com/professorkliq/sets/wire-and-flashing-lights-ep I'm usually a fan of deep house, but this guy was what got me to explore some more genres. My Robot Friend - Robot High School (In Digital Form Remix) https://soundcloud.com/myrobotfriend/robot-high-school-in-digital-form-remix-my-robot-friend This guy's a bit more of a hit-and-miss in my opinion, but I really did enjoy both this remix and the original. Pirate Soundsystem - Trip II London https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0vDrcy_Izk These guys though, were the guys who actually got me into electronic music, somehow. I guess being in Sydney the majority of electronic music was around whatever top-40s are on at the time, so it was a bit of a 180° thing for me that got me searching. Rampue - Turn Around https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=se0oFSrqdGk This has been around a while now, but this is generally more of the style that I enjoy listening to.

I haven't listened to much house in the past but my interest is growing. Hopefully I'm not setting match to powder here, but what should I be looking at if I want to know what the undisputed deep house classics are (rather than brand new stuff)? I know this is probably going to mean DJ sets, which is fine, and I'm happy to pay for them. If I can get them through Amazon MP3 so much the better. Individual tracks are fine too but I just don't know where to go once I've heard those.

Last time I saw Tiga he was outstanding, and I've heard that Green Velvet is pretty good live too. Anyone else going? Saw Green Velvet a few months ago. Best show I've been to in a while outside of Carl Craig. Get ready to vogue, lock, and jack.

There were a few tracks of theirs that came up on Rdio that I couldn't stand, and then I heard Tiny Anthem and went back and appreciated those tracks. Still waiting to see if LCD Soundsystem ever makes a track that doesn't make me want to take a powerdrill to my eardrums so I can re-evaluate my relationship with them too.
