I don't blame producers for producing pop or 'easy' money tracks. I would too.

The production on Britney's new track is rather underground in aesthetic. Her new album is going to be huge. I ve heard about 5 tracks from it and once this is released, everyone will be making EDM.

Don't know if that is a joke mate. Haven't heard it but I don't underestimate people. I am no good producer now but I am way better than I was 1 year ago. People can improve.

*Not to imply I believe Britney Spears is opening FL Studio first thing in the morning to prepare her next album

I would write pop/dance songs all damn day if I had the connections, I would just use an alias

How much do you think a producer gets for writing the track for say Britney or lady gaga? 6 figures?

Sign me up.

what do you mean ? Have you heard her latest single. It is the first pop EDM track that really is EDM to be on the USA charts since probably sandstorm. That is almost 11 years and there will be lots more to follow.

What i'm saying is that the 1995 - 2000 era where everyone was making money with EDM is back.



go to 2:20. That is fantastic dance production and its pop. Never thought I would say that.

yup

not saying you have to like the track but it is a rather relevant track in that unlike guetta's EDM tinged pop, this is full on EDM.

I just hadn't heard it. I completely understand what you are saying.

Originally posted by Rodri Santos i have noticed you understand better the music you play when you start to produce, and when producing you know which will fill the dancefloor and which not, also you learn to make good dj friendly versions, you are the first punished by your ineptitude

+1 to both of these.

its easier to teach a producer how to DJ (how i learned) than to teach a non-producer because they (should) already understand the structure of the music and have a sense of how to make it flow. Also, usually the person who is a producer first is more creative with music selection a lot earlier on than a non-producer, however the battle is that some producers i know get a little too artsy when trying to DJ and clear dance floors. what i mean by that is understanding what type of tracks are better suited for listening/radio shows and what tracks are more suitable for playing live/dancing is what you have to pay attention to. But like m4b has stated, the knowledge and experience in both areas really do build off of one another.

just my 2cents
