This might renew your production inspiration, especially if you are yank.

I watched this last night about the meteoric rise of EDM and the super dj (and producer) and found it pretty inspiring.
I found it very interesting how America's response to EDM has recently evolved - something I dreamed would happen when you yanks were all into rock , well according to all the Yank films I watched where the music was always rock.
5.50 - "American kids will start saying, ok whats next"..........
You have to watch some dumb adverts first.

"The manager of U2 has 150 trucks on the road, yet Avici can turn up with a usb stick and an LED board and get paid the same fee"! "the traditional industry dissed our music for years now they all want a piece of the action"
"Tiesto made $22m last year" |

oh please, how long has Avicii even been around. U2 has been selling out stadiums since the early 80's
Let's see Avici stick around for 30 years. The EDM bubble is going to burst, hopefully soon. |

| I actually went to a skrillex concert the other day, I enjoyed hit set very much, lots of variety, but MAN his opener "GTA" sucked. I'm positive they just plugged in their ipod for the entire set. Nelly, system of a down, daft punk, man it was bad. I'm definitely going to think twice about EDM concerts for now on, that opener was real bad. |

| There's no way i could deal with this kind of music for so long, it makes me hate music in general after a while. |

It's kind of a double-edged sword.
On one hand, I won't be against it if (and when) it bursts, because it'll put these pop hacks acting as trance/house artists in their place.
On the other, I think it's good that they're showing the old dinosaurs you don't need a stage so ing expensive that the ticket profits barely cover the cost. |

Carl Cox says in the video that people will always wanna dance.
A table at some Vegas Tiesto concerts go for $50k.
Apparently some hotels are named after DJ's now and there are Avici stores and ice cream vans.
A British Jewish EDM manager with a lot of street smarts feels the American scene is looking for a 'what now' moment in order to evolve.
It's tempting to think a more 'purist' EDM style will take over in the US, but then this just becomes another mainstream for us all to hate on.
EMD is now popular, I don't think it's going to burst. |

I'm in the states. Yeah uh, when did this happen. I think it started with deadmau5 a few years ago, and now Avicii had a top 10 hit in the states recently. I hear that Avicii song playing in Walmart, and last week I heard a more countryfied version of it. Top 40 radio is playing EDM influenced tunes non-stop, with credits to all your favorite Euro producers. Been really noticing that lately. Rap is on the back burner now, thank Zeus for that.
This newfound popularity isn't helping me any. I Listen almost exclusively to Carl Cox and Adam Beyer's Drumcode, and my productions now reflect that. The label I'm with isn't interested in that style, so my last 4 songs were rejected. I'm not that interested in searching for another label. I've moved on to publishing and licensing. I licensed one generic dubstep song so far.
OK, it's neat that I'm in the states and EDM is exploding all around me, but since I'm not seeing any benefit from it as an artist, it's hard to be inspired. I've been at EDM production going on 7 years now, and you think it would be great that the country I live in is finally embracing the style of music I love and produce. My EDM "career" (I say facetiously), has hit a brick wall, and right at the time EDM has gone mainstream, go figure.
Those who DJ in addition to producing, should be inspired, their time has come. They have a leg up over the glut of wannabe DJs. I never took it to the next level (DJing) because I'm antisocial and prefer the comforts of home.
So for all those who can possibly reap benefits from America's new obsession with EDM, be inspired. |
