EDM for home listening?

How many of you listen to dance music only or mostly in clubs?

I know that a lot of people got into EDM through downloading mp3s on file-sharers and listening on their computers, so I'm curious about the proportions between people who listen to dance music everywhere and people who mostly just listen at clubs.

I only listen to EDM when I go to sporting events.

Nowadays, i really like to listen to EDM when i go out, e.g. from time to time i like to to go out and dance to a house or techno set (although, not nearly as much as i used to a few years ago. In a few months i'm going to be 27 soon, i'm a bit old, lol).



But, i don't listen to a lot of EDM at home anymore, especially modern EDM regardless of genre. Thats it, i think i have grown out of it,modern EDM does nothing to me, be it house,techno,progressive,dubstep,trance etc. There was a time that i could listen to a lot of trance and progressive and techno at home and stuff but it seems that this era has finally come to an end. I'm still a huge fan of electronic music and electronic sounds and synths, and from time to time i listen to some Orbital, Aphex Twin, Leftfield and older progressive and trance, but nowdays its mostly ambient and electronica in the broader sense. Maybe because i vew the majority of current EDM as lacking quality melody (maybe except for some progressive stuff like Mango or something but still overplayed and a tad boring) and hence i'm stuck with "Halcyon+on+on" heh.



So, yeah, EDM mostly-out but not in. "House" outside my house!

I listen to it at home at least 95% of the time. The only time I listen to it at clubs is on Saturday nights, and that's not even every Saturday night, nor the type I listen to at home and want to hear outside. Bad scene, nothing I can do about it.

I must admit I find some of your threads very interesting and some of them develope in quite instructive discussion, but this is one of those unnecessary ones. I really don't think you'll find a lot (if any) of people on EDM discussion forum (in a subforum called music discussion) that only listen to EDM in clubs

Well, yes, actually. I forgot about listening to it while going to school or biking, so let's say that 5% is in clubs and remaining 95% is home/biking/other business.

Do you reckon, that at some point you would die if you could not listen to a 4/4 beat?


Posted by Zak McKracken on Jul-06-2008 22:13:

i have no problems with other beats like prodigy, moby and chemical brothers etc, infact i like it more its just so long between the realy great ones. but yes without electronical music i would probably fade into dust pretty fast. or maybe the opposite? like a month with hell of rehab then suddenly im a new person, free of this dope music?

i've actually wondered this before. can't say as i'm prepared to try it anytime soon


Posted by Zak McKracken on Jul-06-2008 22:18:

Wasn't there a thread a while ago where some guy said he was going to go without dance music as an experiment for a week or month or something? I thought I remembered that...


Posted by Zak McKracken on Jul-06-2008 22:21:

LOL.

I don't think he was a regular or anything, so I don't remember his username.

Interesting. Perhaps I should try as well.


Posted by Zak McKracken on Jul-06-2008 22:24:

would be nice to have more test persons yes and that everyone wrote how they felt after day 1, day 2 etc. im not doing this during vacation tho! maybe to fall.


Posted by Skov on Jul-06-2008 22:30:

Is there anywhere I can get prescribed supersaw and 4/4 doses? I am in dire need of audible pleasure.


Posted by MrJiveBoJingles on Jul-06-2008 22:31:

I found the thread:

http://www.tranceaddict.com/forums/...threadid=398227

Provoked a pretty big discussion.
