Thanks for the warm welcome Gavin...
No worries, I've come to believe that everyone else out there is wierd and we're just.. well... ok fine, def not normal.. heehee.. but that's a good thing!
More about myself? hhmmm... I've been in ATL for about 9 yrs now, quite a while, but I have yet to call it home. I have been out some, but honestly it was only bc I got dragged out in college to bad clubs with friends when there was nothing else to do.. but i could only take so much shotty rap and hiphop... it was only recently that I finally put a stop to that and decided to go only if I could enjoy the music, regardless of what the others were doing.. even if it means not going out clubbing... I've perused through midtown, passing my share of evenings at 1150, Crescent room, Velvet Lounge, etc etc.... nothing fantastic... is it just me, or since the re-vamp at 1150 are they playing cheesier music unless a special DJ is performing? I do like Eden sometimes, during warm weather.
And yes, the Mark has now made it to the top of my list, providing an intimate and secluded venue for true edm artists and listeners.
But since it's the music I enjoy most, and not the glitsy club scene, I am quite content chilling at a friend's listening to someone spin good music with good company all around.
If I had to pick a particular genre of edm, I'd have to say I've strayed more towards progressive house, as you said... some tribal... tracks with non-cheesy vocals.. I don't have a favorite DJ, mostly b/c if I like a new CD by a certain DJ, i love it, but by their next release of another CD, my tastes have changed and I am into diff DJs... but yes, I have enjoyed the sounds of Sander K, Sasha & Digweed, Christopher Lawrence, Tiesto, PVD, Anthony Pappa, Deep Dish, Satoshi, Saeed & Palash, Oakenfold back before he went mainstream, Dave Seaman, Armin... i could go on and on.... some of those DJ's CD's are in my top 10 list of favourites... oh, and Troy Robert's West Coast Progressive Sessions on Protonradio.. altho I haven't listened recently since they cut down his air time....
It really depends on the mood I'm in... I was recently gifted with a copy of Sander K's newest CD which I've swallowed up... my current favourite producer is Omid 16B, and I have been wanting to hear the new Mara CD, which a friend has graciously found for me so I don't have to wait for online delivery.
Did you make it to the Mark for Pappa?
I also listen to some other music, a select group of non-edm artists....
Well, as you can see, i can babble on quite profusely, so I will cease and desist....
