Electronic music losing credibility?

| Does anyone think that with more and more DJ's switching over to computers; that our music and the art of DJ'ing will lose what little creedence it currently possesses in the music culture, as more mainstream people come to think of elctronic music as simply an "artificial" and "computer" form of music instead of one created and played from the heart? It's as if a solid medium, such as vinyl, ground the music. What do you think? |

| I disagree. More and more artists are incorporating real instruments into their productions, and electronic music is crossing over with other genres more and more, so most genres these days employ electronic instruments and techniques. And, as artists like The Future Sound of London have shown, synthesisers can sound more earthy and organic than live instruments. |

| I'm simply stating a point some people make. I'm not saying I agree with it. On your thought however, though electronic music is my passion, it should, for good or bad, never be compared to music played with "actual" a.k.a. "traditional" instruments as they are completly different. |

You can compare EDM to hiphop, even though hiphop is EDM. Back in the early 90's hiphop was mostly underground. Then suddenly, like taking sterioids, it boomed and became more commercial then Nike. The sound changed into this repetative bull garbage about money and cars. The big EDM genres are doing the same. It's about money and how many tunes one can put out and how much airtime each one gets. There will always be underground stuff though, for example, ambient. Theres mainstream ambient like Brian Eno, and underground stuff like smRt_5. Both completly different in there own ways, but similar in others.
All music will get commercial eventually, as more people like it, more will buy into it, and in turn, people will want to make profit on it. Hell, next month Sony Music USA could pick up Endre or MK-S fora million bucks each, and they'll turn out to be money hungry pricks. Chances are, that wont happen. But tahts how the music industry works. A genre starts small, IND labels release it. Big labels notice how popular it's getting, sign artists, sign contracts, and the money rolls in.
There will always be artists true to the music, and others who do it for the money.
Theres nobody loosing. It's not becoming less creditable. It's just changing. Everything progresses, it's just how the artists steer the sound and direction it goes, being good or bad. |

Djs who spin solely off of computers awill always be a bit dodgy, in my book.
Nothing wrong with incorporating one into your equipment though...

Fair assesement but not complete. I believe producing and djing will eventually merge. Look at what Sasha's doing now with Ableton...live DJing, I think, will eventually HAVE to incorporate some kind of live remixing in every set. Sets will be more fresh sounding than ever before and every DJ will trully have its own unique style. |
