    First exposure to electronic dance music

    in Other Electronica

    Ok, here comes the cheese:

    This track got me hooked when I was a 10 YEAR OLD KID, I was a huge Euro-Dance head back then, kept on playing it for years and years, till my dad threw away the cd. Still find it unique sounding even now, but it's a bit too wimpy next to my current Darkpsy/Dark DnB collection. I'm actually glad it doesn't have 10000000 views on youtube for fuck sake.

    why does an underground scene always turn to commerical crap after a while?

    We all hear music differently i reckon......I find it very difficult to explain what it is or isnt about music i like or dislike...i just know that some really gets me and some leaves me cold as custard.... I like music that rolls like waves..so there is a constant ebb and flow...so D&B is out.....do not get it whatsoever...its alien and not music at all(to me) just odd rhythms and distorted beats... yet i quite like dubstep(which is odd rhythms and distorted beats?) go figure...!! my true music love will always be metal! (not really what i should be saying as i host a psytrance radio station! lol)

     

    Well I can say I like every damn style of music in the world, but just a little percentage of it all. Basically the <1000 listeners stuff, the difference between dubstep and drum & bass is actually very minimal, just the beats and the tempo, but the sounds and production remain the same in most cases, it's all electronic dance music in the end (which is fine to me).

    Heck I couldn't be bothered with watching that video right now, but I think it's either about the music industry complaining about the fact people pirate way too much or don't give a shit about the mainstream crap and prefer to go underground, giving mainstream a loss.

     

    Might be wrong with both statements though.

    right...at the last gig we were broadcasting from, Dave was the headline act....i dont know what game he was playing but he was not up for it, and his music was bordering on the minimal side which bores me to tears....I dont even think he smiled once...i thought he must be having a bad day..but..maybe hes just losing his mojo a bit.

    I am a Chris Liberator fan..big style!

    I have found psy rather boring of late and find myself in backrooms more than in the main room nowadays unless we're broadcasting the event in which case i have to just put up with it.

    You are right when you say there good and bad in all genres.... i'd like to see an oldschool night with goa and acid techno and a decent chill zone with comfy seats. and not a commercial beat in sight...maybe music has gone forward too far now for the new generation to appreciate it tho?

     

    Personally I like my music to be sonically full and warm. OK I'm going to sound like a gigantic retard right now because I can't really explain this in words but when you are a producer for example, you notice that obvious signals are considered phat by the human ear, with obvious I mean, being large in the frequency spectrum, heavy signals and heavy signals contain lots of warmth and colour (especially when you add distortion and overdrive to it). When you make minimal for example, the art of minimal is "less is more", which means, creating a whole gap in the frequency spectrum and consider it being art. It works for most people, but it doesn't work for me at all.

     

    Gah this was hard to explain in english, hope you get the point I was making. Sadly it's all about taste when it comes to music, that must be the only reason why many people say that hardstyle is way more interesting than goa or acid.

     

    I also think it has a lot to do with the darkness of the sounds, distortion adds darkness. Metal is dark, because it's massively distorted, same for acid ect... again this is hard to explain in words, let's say nearly impossible, so excuse the vagueness that hits you when reading this post.

    Can't say I like ALL Acid Techno, but there are a couple tunes from the Stay Up Forever label that I consider to be unbeatable in terms of heaviness and aggression for Acid and that seriously blow me away in a way nothing else can but drag me to a random 2011 D.A.V.E. The Drummer event and I'll probably just walk away out of boredom.

     

    Just like Psytrance, Acid Techno has it's good stuff AND bad stuff, it's all about personal taste in the end.
