I wish people would just quit using it..in English.

Is the Dutch word for "electronics", though meanwhile the first "c" is changed to a "k". You may forget this, I was a bit bored.

Speaking of which - is anyone looking to buy a barely used and well maintained pair of CDJ-200s?

What are you into now?

In my "tired of EDM" phase I've been listening to lots of classical and some ambient, and even dipping into jazz, which I still haven't "got" yet.

When I think of all the genres and artists I've still to explore, I don't see how anyone could have time to get bored of all of EDM.

Been listening to some old bluesey rock, some led zeppelin, early santana, also love jimi hendrix, particularly this album:



Also been getting pretty heavily into jazz since last summer or so; Davis, Coltrane, Dexter Gordon, Grant Green, Eric Dolphy...

Also I'm still enjoying plenty of electronic music, FSOL, eno and the likes.

It's hard to explain. Personally, I never could have seen myself getting tired of it until recently. But for a while I was listening to EDM pretty much exclusively for hours each day, and I think I've finally burned myself out, at least for now. It started all having a similar "feel" to me, and I started feeling an urge to hear something a lot different.

So what your saying is... there should be no term that describes trance/house/trip hop/glitch/idm/jungle/chill etc etc? Thats just stupid.

What is wrong with the term?

What about post-rock stuff like Godspeed You Black Emperor!, A Silver Mount Zion, Sigur Ros, Explosions in the Sky, Mogwai etc.? Have you tried this stuff? These things "saved the day" when i was bored of EDM. Still love that stuff today and lots more post-rock bands.


Also what about 70s prog-rock? Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Van Der Graaf Generator, Genesis, Camel?

or 70s German Kraut-Rock (awesome experimental sub-field of 70s prog-rock that created modern music in a way) like: Can, Neu!, Faust, Kraftwerk, Cluster, Harmonia, Tangerine Dream, popol Vuh etc.


Just some suggestions that i like.
