You guys want to know who is TRULY ruining EDM?

The few people that are controlling it.

Insomniac, Ultra, AMOnly etc etc.

EVERYTHING goes to fucking shit when a monopoly takes over. When you have big business taking over and the smaller ones sucking their dick.

It's starting to happen in the techno/tech house scene because its getting popular and that equals $$$. Which equals a marketing strategy a exclusivity contract a label contract etc etc.

If you guys don't realize this, you are either blind/naive or haven't been in the scene enough.

Take me back to anything before 2010 please, when EDM was TRUE EDM. Now it's just catchy shit to brainwash the masses and make them spend $$$$

Do you even EDM, brah?

Posted by 72hrpartyanimal on Aug-09-2013 16:10:

this has been a fact for some time now. And now the game is changing more with that group SLX or whatever their name is. They bought ID&T and Beatport.

Why does anybody care unless edm is your sole source of income and you are jobless as a result. As a consumer, just shut the fuck up and go out and have a good time. That is still possible right?

So you're telling me I should just take all the pills my doctor that got cut money on the back end for prescribing me 23233 pills? And stay zombied out on Norcos and Xanax like a large part of the population in America?

It's basically the same thing you're telling me to do, just in another market.

The vegas megaclubs are also to blame. They have single handedly inflated DJ booking fees all across the globe.

Well people who support "the man" and who would go to the establishments and big events are also to blame in IMO.

Having said that, there is a big world out there and a number of quality options outside the so-called big boys.

Like what? Even incognito I haven't seen event postings for,

Book hardwell, avicii, Calvin Harris, shm, kaskade etc and offer up comp lists. That would be an awesome option. Comp > $50 tickets.

I think it's great that these companies are coming in and further professionalizing this industry. Good music is still there, you just won't find it at these events that cater to the masses.

I think it's about perception. Yes, Avicii is crossover pop music EDM, but it is great that he brings in a whole new crowd with new listeners of EDM. As this new pop edm crowd matures, some will move to 'real' edm......hence a new market opportunity for you 'real' edm folks.

This is my mba talking. lol.

i was at Hardwell on Saturday. Talk about shitty music!! But I believe that was the most packed I've seen the Paladium. Even more packed then AvB. All the VIP tables were sold out too.

Posted by Nerologic on Aug-12-2013 17:35:

What you guys need to understand is that it BENIFITS me that the monster grows. I have a lot of "big" friends that are benefiting from this. They are under AMOnly they have contracts with Insomniac/TAO Group/AMG/Live Nation etc etc. I have worked for them, and/or still do work for them. They have flown me out to their gigs.

So it would be to my benifit that the monster grows.

But you know what? I can give a fuck. If it all crashed down tomorrow, yeah it would suck for my friends. But I would kinda be glad it's over.

Posted by pnutttty on Aug-12-2013 17:43:

so in summary...

we are all just tryin to make a dolla.

holla.

Posted by 72hrpartyanimal on Aug-12-2013 23:31:

basically... the scene sucks.

time to move on to Norwegian Death Metal!!!

If there wasn't big money to throw around, then there would be the possibility of the big time events Like EDC Las Vegas for example , which is probably the best event for EDM in the world. At one of the best venues in the world.

TomorrowLand looked great, but who wants to be all muddy and shit. I like my nice controlled events, with huge productions and a great happy crowd, with easy access and great weather.

Yeah, they control whats happening, cuz they got the cash and the customer base to do whatever the hell they want.

Lawyers fucked up the world a hell of a long time ago, and really thats whats wrong with almost everything in this life we are living. Greed and Lawyers, basically the same thing.
