more recently, a few songs which come to mind for me are:
dj eco - tonight is forever (martin roth edit)* (armin dropped the hell out of it last night in nyc)
leon bolier - ocean drive boulevard
orjan neilsen - la guitarra

What we like is more a matter of social conditioning than a matter of "pure feelings". I read what you call "emotion in modern EDM" through that analytical prism.
From Atomic Babies liveacting at the MEMF to Dan Bell, what we like, and what implies emotions is a social construction. Of course the situation is not that radical but I think that in most part it is.

Good lord I hate Marxist analysis of art. It's so annoyingly simple-minded.
Play some "music" composed of ping pong balls being thrown down a stairwell followed by the second movement of Beethoven's Fifth, then ask a thousand people from fifty different countries which one has clearer emotional content.
I don't think there's any reasonable doubt as to what you'd find.

I'm sure "social conditioning" explains why my brother and I have completely opposite tastes in music.
The fact that I like classical music and he doesn't must mean that I'm aspiring to be "upper class," right?
:rolleyes:

depends on what you mean by "classical"?
Much of classical music is divided by age and movement
there was a time when classical music was accessible to many
and there was a time when it was strictly for the Oberschicht
you can't really put "clasical" in one pigeonhole imo.

Marxism is a load of . It takes a basic truism (The surroundings we grow up and live in will influence our lifestyle and interests) and tries to make everything explainable by economic background. It's a ty catch-all theory that requires no thought to use.

Unless you're really really good at throwing ping pong balls.
