OPERATIONS vol. 20 is live. As usual, this is mostly D&B, but it takes a very unexpected turn into some house and techno near the end. Very hotcue-intensive, probably the most work I've put in for a planned mix since my Traktor days. I'm really glad I could put this together and share it in time for the Andy C show tonight. Also gently caress, I can't believe there are twenty of these mixes now. OPERATIONS vol. 20 Tracklist: Dub Phizix & Lovescene - The Line Soul Connection - Down On Me Nymfo - Before Dawn Alix Perez - Moving On (ft. Liam Bailey) (Break remix) Dunk - Fake Love Dub Phizix - God’s Tears Marcus Visionary - Steady Rock Simple Simon & Pharoah - Diamond Cut Zero T - Come & Reprazent Acid Lab - Amon Re Makaveli - Cockney Joe Martyn Nytram - Gunshot Lupo - Retrograde Kublai & Minor Forms - Future Motion BCee & Lucy Kitchen - Surfacing (Emba remix) Low:r - Bawlin’ Out NC-17 - Widow Maker FreezeUK - Stay Focused Marcus Visionary - Full Control S.Murk - Hat Spine Agro & Devilman - Head Top Sola & Jfal - Rattlesnake Trex - Let Me Go Again H20 - Parasite NC-17 - Bunged Up Toronto Is Broken - Make Me Feel Fat Sushi - Life, Death & Robots Shapov & NERAK - Vetra Fach - Like This Boys Noize - Nude (ft.

Spotify Wrapped reminded me how much I still listen to EDM from 2011-13. There are exceptions like Eric Prydz who is by far my favorite. Ultra 2013 is when I first seriously got into the genre so it makes me wonder if this is like when people always listen to the music that was popular from high school. Or maybe I’m just becoming a boomer?

It feels weird to say but the biggest dubstep and trap DJs of 2021 are still playing basically the same exact music the biggest dubstep DJs of 2012-2015 were playing. Like, if you looked at rock/punk/hardcore music from 1992 and then at 2002, you’d see an entirely new ecosystem of sound. But the EDM space hasn’t experienced a 3rd straight decade of limitless expansion. From 1985-2005 electronic dance music has just been on this constantly organic evolution as sound technology kept changing and production programs received rapid fire upgrades and innovation… I don’t think we’re seeing big leaps in new tech anymore, so we won’t really see big leaps in new sound like we used to. God, it was always incredible when you’d be rail-riding at a festival and someone would get up there and just make sounds that you’d straight up never heard before. Electric!

There's so much good EDM from the early 2010s, like an absurd amount of stuff, and I still listen to some of that stuff too. But while there isn't anywhere near the same volume of stuff coming out nowadays, there is still good stuff coming out. Like the new Rezz album, for example. I've listened to it start to finish at least 10 times since it came out. And 2 of my 5 Spotify Wrapped artists were San Holo and Porter Robinson, who were both making stuff in the early 2010s (well, okay, San Holo's We Rise was 2015) but came out with albums I absolutely adored in 2021. It's a different time in EDM now than it was like a decade ago for sure, but it's not like there's no good EDM nowadays!

I pretty much agree with this. It almost seems like if you go to a show and don't hear some of those 2010-2015 tracks dropped, it's a disappointment. Dang kids with their 808s and future bass. I feel like a lot of the future bass type stuff I've listened to is just based on "yeahhhhh bet ya didn't expect that" and it just ends up sounding like poo poo with no discernable tempo or rhythm.

A hard pivot in BPM is probably the most advanced move a DJ can do and one of the truly skill intensive displays of production acumen that sort of resembles musicianship, which is why they are usually harsh and you gotta just power through it but it’s also why when someone really nails it feels mind blowing.

I'm constantly on the hunt for tracks that deploy 'metric modulation' as a technique to change tempo, because it's way more fun and challenging as a DJ than using a track that has a rhythmless breakdown or ramped tempo - and personally, I think cranking the pitch fader to manually create a tempo change almost always sounds like poo poo. I haven't found much in the way of metric modulation though, outside of the work of Dirtyphonics - one of them must have been a metal drummer or something, because they use that technique a LOT. Agreeing with the sentiment that a lot of dubstep especially has remained unchanged since 2012. There are still a few innovators but they're usually not 'dubstep producers' per se, and the rest of the scene is nearly identical eighth-note chainsaw sounds. I pivoted to 'festival trap' a while ago, I mean I rarely play any but those crates in my DJ library still see growth while I largely ignore what's labelled as dubstep. Oddly though, even though the 'deep dubstep' side of things has also remained relatively stale, I still love playing it (see OPS vol. 19). Once a stoner, always a stoner, I guess. The Walrus posted:that one year when you'd walk around a festival and hear flux pavillion's 'i can't stop' playing from multiple stages at the same time I've always hated this song, and honestly most of Flux's output except for Bass Cannon.

Honestly I’ve had truly insane experiences hearing new and exciting sounds at shows, sober and definitely not sober, but nothing ever hit me harder than the first time I heard this drop. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qy6wE-npE2w and to be honest I feel like a full 2/3 of all the brostep that came after was just chasing this dragon, forever. Which is funny, because just now I had to wade through 40 Doctor P remixes and VIO edits to even find it

Is he DJing or 'playing live'? Seeing him with the Cube setup in 2011 at the Skydome was one of the best nights of my life*, but I've heard mixed reviews of his other performances and DJ sets, that range from 'rudimentary boring techno' to 'lol he brought a bottle of Szechuan Sauce and gave out samples to the audience, I'm pickle riiiiiick'. The Cube is legit cool though, easily the second-most-interesting visual experience I've seen tied to an EDM artist's button-pushing. * The 2011 show was particularly awesome because I managed to sneak _seven_ friends onto the floor who only had 100-level tickets. Imagine seeing any musician in a 53,000-seat arena, buying your tickets too late to get on the floor, and having to sit in the bleachers while the artist performs more than 400 feet away in a giant reverberant tin can. Then imagine your friend who bought a ticket early, hands you the ticket that security never took away and says "it's worth a shot, just go back up and tell them you never got a wristband." That this worked as many times as it did, let alone at all, made me feel like a loving hero. Also, so did the cute girl, and the heaping pile of drugs.

Yeah, I saw him with the Cube in I think 2010 and it was loving amazing. I didn't know much about him or his stuff going into that show but it blew me away. I grabbed 4x4=12 after that show and proceeded to bump it in my car like a thousand times. That album is so loving good. But I saw him do a stripped back set in 2017 with no Cube and no visuals or anything and the energy of that Cube show I'd seen years earlier just wasn't there. I don't know if the Cube is a requirement for a good deadmau5 set, but yeah.

So much poo poo being passed back and forth on Reddit between Bassnectar and Illenium fans. From what I can tell, Illenium played a Bassnectar track at a show, people were like, hey, guy, he's currently on trial for sexual assault and human trafficking, maybe don't play his songs right now? So he says "I didn't even know it was a Bassnectar song, it wasn't labeled as such in my library," and Bassnectar fans are climbing way out of the woodwork to look for any way to prove that the clown wasn't a groomer. Again. Disclosure: Bassnectar was basically what got me into any sort of electronic music. I've been to a number of club shows and festivals he's headlined. I have about six CDs in the binder in my car and I haven't listened to a single one since the allegations against him came out. And I will not.

Bassnectar released like 25 albums with 15-25 songs and worked with every 2000’s producer except Skrillex. I 100% believe a professional DJ could make that ‘mistake’, or more likely it was a VIP edit of a remix of a collab, so it’s like a Glitch Mob track that Lauren released the best version of so people think it’s a Bassnectar song or something dumb like that. Wook Epstein was extremely prolific but luckily for me he was more about the stage experience and his live sets. Losing out on his albums is NBD, I hadn’t been bumping them for years anyway, but I remember a 3 hour set he played in Philly in like 2010ish with Nosaj Thing for his opener and it remains the greatest live music experience of my life. It was the summer of his infamous Rage Against the Machine remix, you heard the drop and it truly felt like a bomb had gone off in the room, the way people were rioting.

any particular reason or do you just hate his vibes? He's my all time favorite DJ, I just think he makes the heaviest most hosed up tracks. I don't EVER EVER listen to his creepy overtly sexual stuff with female vocalists, mostly just his really dark and super bass heavy trap stuff. I hate "salad", but ive seen him 15+ times, many dead sober, and they are all just totally awesome shows with awesome crowds.

Borgore put "suck it bitch" before a drop and layered gagging sounds over basslines. The ultra-sexual stuff is juvenile even through the most generous lens. Sure, it might be a joke, or a persona, or just "his art" but in a post Marilyn Manson world it's a bit more complex.
