There's an EDC album that was mixed by Cascade, it's actually quite good and I'm not normally a Kaskade fan. I wish I was around for EDC, it sounds amazing. I was wondering if there were any are any good rips from Ultra this year, I haven't been able to find any and I'd really really really like to relive that night a bit.

incoherent posted:No, EDC is terrible. Ultra, having never been to one, is infinitely better. EDC has some fun tracks, nothing particularly fantastic but it's fun to listen to v  vAnd oh god I love you for those mixes. e. Oh god it has the Timo Maas set, that was an absolute blast I just spent the entire time chilling with ravers. I was really hoping there was like an Area XM Deadmau5 rip or something.

JimmyJazz posted:download any recent mix by him its all the same exact set I hadn't heard much Deadmau5 before seeing him live, and none of his recent mixes have Killing in the Name Of which was just the loving funniest thing ever. Also I have a complete hardon for Some Chords and there's been no mixes with the same quality as the Area ones that have that song.

deadmau5 on Facebook posted:[deadmau5 management] Yes I follow deadmau5 on Facebook deal with it  VenomHowell posted:All I gotta say is, drat, the amount of hate tossed around at some of the more popular acts in this thread seems to make me think the EDM scene has been hijacked by glorified hipsters. It really has. I like a bunch of music all over the place and honestly some of the most fun times I've had are when really popular acts are playing. I had never heard of Swedish House Mafia before I saw them live at Ultra but gently caress if I didn't have fun listening to their stuff there. Electronic music seems to be turning into a hipster-filled pissing contest and sadly this thread is completely ruined because of it. You can't discuss the acts that appeal to a wider audience because certain posters just come in here and start up giant flame wars and wave their e-penises around about how they were on stage with Diplo. Can we please just agree to have a "if you don't like something shut up and be constructive?" rule? Like, "Hey, this person new to the whole electronic music scene likes deadmau5, instead of starting a flame war maybe I could suggest other things that might appeal to this person?" Or yeah just create a popular electronic music thread.

Also in light of this who Rusko/deadmau5 thing I find it kind of funny that it blatantly sounds like he took too much E. In a sad way though.

a milk crime posted:I really like most things that come out of Om records. They do a lot of good things. The Om party at WMC this year was awesome, they've got some of the best chill music. I have an Om shirt.  Related to the popular music chat, are there any songs that those of you who really really really dislike Tiësto/deadmau5/Swedish House Mafia/whatever actually like? I mean, I honestly like only a handful of deadmau5 tracks, kind of like a few of them, and a lot just sound samey to me. FML, Ghosts 'n' Stuff, Strobe, and Some Chords are just amazing though. I'm far from a Tiësto fan, but Escape Me is pretty neat and so is Knock You Out (but I have a hardon for Emily Haines so v v)I don't know I'm just more curious about "does [popular thing] universally suck or is there something that appeals to your tastes?"

I think it's kind of "you have to know the specific artist," when I saw Tiësto live I didn't know 99% of his songs and I was with friends and I really wanted to hear Adagio for Strings. Every. Single. Song. sounded like it was leading into it, and over a four hour set that just got frustrating and kind of put me in a mind of "wow, this all sounds the same."

Furnace posted:Im just tired of people throwing out "hipster" as a derogatory term. I know people who, if they read this thread, would call every one of us who've posted music or links in this thread as such. A lot of people seem to hate something just because it's popular and love the hottest new thing that nobody has ever heard of, and for that the term "hipster" sees to be appropriate.

I got to meet deadmau5 briefly at ACL and he was awesome as gently caress. He stayed out for an extra 45 minutes and met every single fan who wanted to meet him, took photos, signed poo poo, and just talked. Seriously, he was second only to Casey Spooner for being awesome as gently caress in person.

He's also got a new track called Raise Your Weapon which is also really good live and while I'm not really into dubstep and kind of wish it kept up what it does for the first half of the song, it's still a fun track.

Seconding this, I saw him after a deadmau5 concert as he was hanging around and I was the only person who recognized him, and I just said "Hey it's Skrillex!" and he spent the next five minutes hanging out with me and just being a really awesome guy.

Mr Viper posted:It's good to have none-lovely qualities of some of the tracks (Bad Selection, Cthulu Sleeps), and I'm a huge fan of A City In Florida and Right This Second. But there's a ton that have already been released (Some Chords, Animal Rights, I Said, Everything Before), and every single track with a female singer is horrible (One Trick Pony? jesus christ awful). Raise Your Weapon sounds pretty good, but Sofi Needs a Ladder is terrible.

Does anyone know of any good electro-house podcasts or something similar? I'm trying to discover some new stuff and it's a bitch to find things and I don't want to spend all day reading blogs.

Since we're talking about horrible dance music, I heard a brief clip of a song a while back from that popular 808+shitloads of reverb genre and I've been trying to track it down since. I get the impression it's a super popular song, so hopefully this super lovely sketch could jog someone's memory. https://soundcloud.com/helpimintexas/does-anyone-recognize-this Any bells being rung with that one?

So is this basically a PYF thread that wound up in NMD? I can't figure out if there's any actual discussion. Here's something, does anyone else think the rise of Big Room House is going to lead to an Acid revival? It seems to be kind of pointing that way, a lot of bigger artists have been making some 303-heavy tracks for a while but Big Room's influence has seen Fatboy Slim back in the charts again for the first time in a long time.

dj bobby bieber posted:I don't think so. I think DJ Snake type of stuff is next up unfortunately. Are you sure? I mean, there was literally a song called ACID9000 (sampling ACID8000 of all things) on the front page of Beatport recently, the TB-3 is coming out which is going to make a hardware 303 almost as cost effective as some plugins, it sounds great with the whole 808 + white noise + reverb thing that seems to be the cookie cutter recipe these days, and a lot of the old guard DJs are loving the chance to play it again. I mean, there's undeniably more of it in popular music now than there has been in a while, especially if we look at things being explicitly thought of as Acid and not just prominently featuring a 303 throughout (like Molly and Sexy And I Know It). Also thanks for trying, maybe if we keep talking like this people will stop just posting their favourite new song without meaningful comment.

mogran posted:I'm still waiting on disco/funk house in the States because Daft Punk couldn't just make Discovery again. Some of the smaller shows I was at in the summer had a huge resurgence of what was basically Electro House with a bass guitar instead of a synth, it was a really interesting and I wish I'd heard more of it since. Made for some really funky elektro in the best possible way. Still a really compressed sound, but it had such a good groove. Then Big Room House ultra-exploded and now it's all there is anywhere. I'm kind of convinced that the big fads are defined by what's easiest to make, and funk is harder.

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?

Mike_V posted:Are you kidding me? 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.
