No, I only listen to good music so it’s impossible I’d mistake it for Dedmowfive or Kaskade

Barring a couple of hits I also don't care much for Deadmau5's music and I've never gone out of my way to deliberately listen to Kaskade. I would also agree with Bust Rodd that mau5's albums are often a lot of filler material that goes on too long in support of two or three good singles - having grown up on the Chemical Brothers, I love when an album feels like a DJ mix, but personally Joel's progressions never held my attention that well. To each their own, though.

The 30-second preview of a track sounds fine, in that it sounds exactly like I expected: A dotted-note pluck melody with a lush female vocal on top of it. That's their whole formula. I'll wait to hear the rest of the song and maybe another single before I decide whether to follow them. In any case, we'll probably get some cool live visual accompaniment when they tour. Has Deadmau5 retired the Cube?

I can definitely understand why it might not be your thing and that's cool. I happen to really like the Chemical Brothers and Deadmau5 / Kaskade, obviously for different reasons. I just thought it was pretty hilarious to call them "two of the worst DJ's making the world's most boring music".

Can't wait to see the stage setup for that one. X always brings incredible visuals. He's my guilty pleasure and basically the only aggro dubstep artist I still follow. But lol this came up in my FB memories today:

The Glitch Mob's Okeechobee set is supposed to be starting on the stream in a few minutes:

No idea who else is playing/has played because there's no schedule, but Papadosio is finishing up now. This is the first I've ever heard of them. They seem pretty cool!

e: Wait nevermind, Haywyre's on now. Maybe TGM starts in 45 mins? They said 9pm EST and that was 15 mins ago. Haywyre's rad though, so I ain't complaining.

e2: They came on 2 hours after they said but holy fuuuuuck, this set is so good :eyepop: All these new tunes they're dropping has me so hyped for their new album!

Dubstep is like Metal, it’s a massive umbrella mega-genre for like 15 different styles of music depending on how nitty gritty you get. Illenium is dubstep, I guess, though I would probably label it as hard Future Bass these days

Yeah same. The whole advent of the dubstep sound happened right when I was getting back into electronic music, and it's 100% the reason I constantly kick myself for not getting into it sooner. Coming back to Toronto right as the heyday of Bassmentality was peaking and ending was certainly a bittersweet experience. This is my tune - it's heady, it's spacious, but it's got some downright aggression. God help you if we were neighbours when I'd come home late at night and turn on the subwoofer to this:

I was just grinding basement subwoofer sets at 18-19 when dubstep started trickling in from the UK, then we had 2 absolutely glorious years where really good dubstep was still underground and you could pay $5 to go see Rusko play a house party in Baltimore, and you could look forward to (sigh) Bassnectar coming to town and frying everyone’s brains in the summer… and then is just completely eclipsed every other form of EDM in the US and became the dominant form of festival dance music because dubstep is literally a habit forming sound that causes you to become sad if you go long periods of time without it.

Oh, no, dubstep is still laughed at. It just stopped being perceived as something nobody listened to because it was bad and became what everyone with a tin ear was listening to because they didn't know better. EDM purists hate it because it goes WUBWUBWUB, dub purists hate it because it is to dub what dogshit is to dogs, and nobody else understands how it ever became popular.

It became popular because it’s music that is extremely easy to tell, immediately, whether or not you like it. A lot of people aren’t as in touch with themselves musically as the people ITT might take for granted. For a lot of people, they go their whole lives just vibing to one sound or style, maybe one or two favorite bands in their whole trip around the universe. For people like that, dubstep is like finding a holy Mecca. For some people it’s literally the first time music resonates with something inside of them instead of just being the ambient background noise of a car ride. Discovering dubstep after years of loving Daft Punk and Aphex Twin and Prodigy but wishing they would do grittier, skunchier poo poo and maybe slow it down a little… I mean I’ve had religious awakenings when I was younger, and wasn’t on molly when I was 14 and in church, but they were functionally identical experiences (and dubstep had a much bigger impact on my life than church ever did, lmao)

I have had some great experiences with dubstep, but I really felt the oversaturation when it reached the height of its popularity. Two of my favorite artists were Feed Me and Seven Lions who had a very distinct sound and the production chops to make very aggressive tracks that still felt musical.

That’s really interesting because Feed Me is not a DJ I would even consider to be dubstep. I’ve only ever seen them do hardstyle house and breakbeat with maybe a few dub bangers in a set, but I also hated their albums/eps. Great live set but I just didn’t connect with their private releases personally, but I like them.

Seven Lions was awesome, I saw them at 4-5 AM at Burning Man like 10 years ago on one of the ultra mega giant sound stages and it was simultaneously heavy, intense, and chill. The atmosphere was like “a comet is very slowly falling to Earth and gonna blow us up but everyone is rolling balls and honestly fine with it”, excellent vibes with warm, comfy bass beats.

Yah I wouldn't consider Feed Me a dubstep artist either (especially now) but my intro to him was his dubstep tracks which I thought were pretty incredible. Stuff like Blood Red, Strange Behaviour, and his remix of Call Your Girlfriend come to mind. I saw him live several times, once during his tour where he had the TEETH stage setup which was seriously one of the coolest loving things I ever saw. Go look up videos on YouTube if you haven't seen it.

I saw Seven Lions at a venue in San Francisco and it was easily a top 5 show in my lifetime. My wife and I were already huge fans of his by that point and getting to see him perform and dance our faces off was something I'll remember forever.

Feed me is a multigenre producer for sure. his best album is probably calamari tuesday and it has a ton of dubstep drops. I'd put him in a similarish genre to savant I guess, just electro house with dubstep and chiptune and d&b mixed in wherever.

Yeah, his production heyday as Feed Me was around the time that a lot of the biggest breakout artists were producing so many different genres that you couldn't really nail them down as 'dubstep producers'. Calamari Tuesday had some great tunes that were well outside the 140 wheelhouse. Blood Red was the tearout dubstep tune to me, though - way more emblematic than anything Skrillex or Nero were making around that time.

I love that he came back and started doing more Spor.

I wasn’t ever a DJ or a producer and I guess maybe if I understood music production a little better it might have made more sense but goddam it was always a bummer when I DJ I really liked live would release an EP and it would be like 4 songs in a completely different genre of music than what they were known for and often just… not as good. Whole lot of EDM Chris Gaines ego going on.

The Feed Me project was started out explicitly as an avenue to do electro/dubstep without it being weird for Spor to suddently shift to EDM from DnB. He took a lot of inspiration from dance punk/electroclash/indie rock too, stuff like this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygtNdUuC84U

That's probably why he had that big track with Crystal Fighters, and why his "Death By Robot" exists.

Another cool Feed Me detail - the end of "Relocation" has the same melody as "Blood Red" has before the fist drop, despite coming out way after.
