not to sound condescending but, what are all these "fads" that have flown by that everyone keeps talking about?
was psy a fad? was techno, tech-trance? |
The electro-clash fad, the minimal techno-fad, the rise and fall of mcprog, etc.
In general, specific music styles, DJs/producers, sometimes technologies which are hyped as hell for a few months, after which they're left bumed in the gutter because a new bandwagon comes by for all the 'upfront' people to rape.
I'm not really talking about psy or techno, those have found their place in the EDM spectrum and have been there for quite a while now. |

ok well, not sure what "electro-clash" is but, electro or electro-house is still alive and kicking. not too sure about minimal-techno either, but I know minimal-house has a big following. and the whole "mcprog" thing is such a misnomer it's a shame. but that's another topic.
there are trends in music genres to be sure, but they're just words.. what really happens is a type of music recieves a boom, an emerging period. much like the 99-01 period for progressive trance. sure that boom may slow down but the following doesn't dissapear. the dj's who spin it may change a bit, but it usually creates a slew of new dj's that specialize in it.
people don't generally listen to particular EDM because it's popular. they don't say to themselves "hmmm, electro seems to be very chic with the others, must listen to more electro..". people's tastes change, the music progresses and logarithmic equations occur. this is how i see it. i think those who see it as you do may be missing the point and are probably only guilty of it yourself.
not to get personal. but your status, "no more sweet music", seems to give a very specific message. that you are no longer happy with the music being made. at some point you stoped liking what new artists were trying and have only held onto what you once liked. this tells me that you see the music trends now as a bunch of hollow-minded people blindly following the "fads". but it really is just the progression of the music and you have somewhere along the line been dropped off. |

I'm very well aware that both electro and minimal are still alive, the only thing you need to check is the new techno releases section of (for example) www.decks.de. That doesn't take away the fact that there are enough people (at least around here) who pay a disproportional amount of attention to a certain type of music, just because there's a lot of rumour going on about it. It's not just this forum, I've seen it in many other places as well. Of course, there will be enough people listening to that type of music just because they like it, but there are loads of others who are just followers, and I have sincere doubts about their reasons to rave about a certain type of music, just at the moment it becomes more or less popular. That's what I call a fad.
Feel free to disagree though.

"No more sweet music" is the title of the upcoming album of Hooverphonic. A band I like.
What you said here: | quote: | | this tells me that you see the music trends now as a bunch of hollow-minded people blindly following the "fads". |
is partly true though, as I've stated above. Again, I'm not asking you to agree. Don't be afraid, there's still music being made I like :) Will be a sad day when that ends. |

| While the Metallica/Dancin-bootleg was a cheeky and amusing touch, this mix bored me senseless for the most part as well. Too many empty, repetitive grooves that just never went anywhere. I'll be seeing Sebastian Ingrosso live in two weeks, so hopefully he'll make a better impression then. |

I'm bored with what Angello and Ingrosso produces. Angello has done SOME good tracks but both Angello and Ingrosso is way
overhyped and is rated to be the future of basically everything.
I tend to disagree. I listen to their productions and after 5-7 tunes i find nothing new at all, nothing but
their trademarked sound. Nothing wrong with producing from a specific sound but when you limit yourself as
much as i think Angello and Ingrosso does, its bad. |

ok this is all good criticism. electro, all though a newer genre to EDM has had roots in many different types of music. sub genre's seem to be created everyday, so i think that arguement is just useless. we've all run into problems trying to classify music.
i'm hoping for newer and fresh tunes as well. their basslines are just spectrum fillers and i hope they keep pushing forward! |

If in doubt about what the current fad is, just check out what trancEyes22 is listening too.

i hated this set, and i usually dont have problems with electrohouse or the swedish house mafia, this set was just pure . |
I think classifying this set as 'pure ' may be a bit harsh but I was rather disappointed by this set as well. Before this set started I was already wondering whether Angello & Ingrosso could keep it interesting for 2 hours.. they couldn't.
The set contains some nice tunes (like that Metallica bootleg), but overall it's just meh. Lack of flow and diversity really killed the set from the middle on imo. And their sound just gets boring after a while.. time for a new sound? |

| I have been checking a lot out by these guys the past month, as I have been into the tech-house, or whatever you want to call it. The way I see it, and I believe I wrote this in another thread, is tech-house or electro are not going to provide you with depth, in complexity or emotional value. However, much like rap, the genre is fun nothing more, nothign less. While I completely agree many of the tech and electro songs get old quickly, the fact remains there just arent many producers out there that can truly produce quality songs in that genre that embrace it for what it is, rather than trying to blend trance or progressive in. Danny Howells played a show last year in Boston, pur tech for 2 hours, I have never seen an audience get so into the music. My friends who aren't into edm at all absolutely loved it. For people that know edm well, I can see why you may not like this shallow genre. However, as I have seen people who know very little (most audiences) seem to absolutely eat it up. At least for now. |

Well, there is a difference. Playing in front of a live audience is hard in some ways and easy in some, putting together a mix to be broadcasted over the radio has some hard turns and some easy. Keeping the audience listening for the whole two hours on the radio and not getting them bored is really hard. Hell, if i were to see Angello & Ingrosso played
i would problably dance my ass off, no matter if they played that Metallica-cover or not. I would problably
dance if they brought out Metallica them selves.
It takes a special feeling and knowledge to produce a good essential mix i think, to always keep the listeners on edge
wanting to hear more and more, you cant say that "its minimal but its good live!" as an excuse.
Maybe it will grow on them. |
