Seriously now, is there any modern EDM with melody except for the usual epic and progressive trance? With melody i don't mean some random 2-note segment over the "bleep-click" sequence. Because i begin to think that modern EDM is pretty much dead melodic-wise.

in a club do you waltz to a melody or do you dance to a beat?

Both

Honestly, I hear plenty of melody.

I understand what you say, in a matter of fact when i go to a club i just want to dance to some good groove and nothing else.



But this is not ONLY EDM is about. As with every kind of music there should be degrees of "musicality". Weren't thee good times when you got the "substantial" stuff like Leftfield and Underworld together with the pure dance stuff?



And wtf man, i can't even dance to many of these records from most of these labels. Where are the grooves and the funk? Am i supossed to dance to this "bleep-click" crap? I guess that music has become completely cold, souless and detached and it is destined for heavy drugs or something. I can see (and listen) that EDM is pretty fucked-up as a genre, going through very dark times.

I just meant in general, throughout most electronic music I hear these days. Although, it's usually not a straightforward melody, sometimes it's just what you say, repetitive noises that in my eyes still have a very subtle melody to them. Whether I'm just interpreting this in my head, or it was intentional, I still hear a lot of "melody". Might just be me though.

I suppose so yeah, but I think that's what attracts me to a lot of that music. There seems to be kind of a space for interpretation and that's really exciting to me.
