-- What genre is the most legit in 2011?
Pages (6): « 1 [2] 3 4 5 6 »

Since I'm 19, I'm just discovering trance classics I've missed out on. They blow me away.


This, for example. I have exactly zero nostalgic connection to this song because I heard it for the first time last year... but holy shit I'm in love:





I started listening to trance at about 7 or 8 years old I think when my brother just got into it. But we got into the scene a bit late so we never heard a lot of classics. I really enjoy digging through old compilations and finding gems.

Re: What genre is the most legit in 2011?

What EDM is in desperate need of, are strong video game influences.
Here's an IMHO great track that can be used as an example.


Here's another example, this one has a deeper and more Metroid-esque feel to it.

You just need to stop listen EDM for a while. Come back with a fresh mind.

There is plenty of good stuff out there.

best reply yet

totally on point

hit the nail on the head

















NOPE

haha

Last year and the year before I pretty much only listened to EDM.

But then after summer ended I got bored with it and haven't gone back.

I discovered that electronic music in general is very linear and monotonous. And this applies to all genres of EDM.

Other music is linear too with a verse/chorus structure, but there's so much more you can do with a guitar, drums and a voice to keep it fresh.

Really? Then why dismiss future garage because it's "boring music"? For future reference: if I ask someone a question, I don't want your bullshit opinion on what their answer might be, cheers.

Drum 'n bass. Obviously.

I've come to like liquid drum n bass and a little bit of tear out breaks this year. Deep house will always be a favorite of mine, but sometimes I just gotta get away from that 4X4 line.

Oh yeah, that Synkro fgarage track was pretty cool. I haven't liked any fgarage at all up until now.

Was in fact wondering where did you go since a while. Variety in EDM compared to other genres is a topic that could go on for pages and pages of debates. Still good to hear you disappearing had a "normal" reason behind it.

as always I just enjoy listening to music regardless of genre. Listening to sets/podcasts without seeing tracklists and trying to judge if i like a track over who makes it although often it's a bit easy to know the producers of certain sounds.

Future Garage is one genre of music that I totally regret not really following up much with... I absolutely love it, with being a long-time 2-step fan. Any comps or sets that I should check out?

Despite that my taste is totally different, I listen music in the same way, music over producer. I get the feeling often it's the other way around nowadays.

Most legit, I don't no, but Deep house could be it.

Eurodance.

You're not getting this "I don't give a fuck about what you think someone else's opinion might be" concept, are you? Let me repeat it, for clarity:

I don't give a fuck what you think someone else's opinion might be.
