Are you still compatible with today's EDM?

Re: Are you still compatible with today's EDM?

Being at the epicenter of cheddar for the moment (Las Vegas) It has been trying dealing with the scene here in the broadest commercial sense. Yet that's what road trips are for. Had chance to go to Watergate in Berlin this summer and a few festivals in Europe. Amazing crowds, sets, and overall music culture. Locally, just caught Satoshi Tomiie this weekend, stellar and why Ritchie Hawtin is playing here in a couple weeks has me perplexed. So overall, the music has become more diverse yet with somewhat a larger audience. This whole Hot Creations/Get Lost trend is going to become the next wave of popular dance music. It happens every generation as the raver kids come of age and ditch the beads for the beer bottles. Soon enough all these imposters will vanish and suddenly the underground style, if it can be defined, shall come to roost once more, then geezers like myself can bore 20 somethings will tales from long ago while donned in my mythological Mercuryserver T-Shirt.

Pulitzer material here.

A lot of scenes go through this...salsa, rock, reggae , hiphop, jazz you name it and they have all gone through a period of extreme popularity.

Personally I don't mind it because there is always a backlash and that is when the real musicians/artists manage to reinvent themselves and stay alive.

This.

1997-2002, no EDM can match those years---not even worth comparing.

I add, 1996 and 2003

Definitely compatible with todays EDM.. I find myself enjoying a lot more minimal/experimental music now than I did before. I still enjoy Diggers when he blasts the Vortex I mean who doesnt?

I just cant get into today's Sarsha though... and also 1997-2002, no EDM can match those years---not even worth comparing.

I just can't get into today's EDM no matter who it is by... I don't know what it is, but I'm happy with listening to mostly pre-2000 music, some post-2000 as well. There's one song that's from the new era that was I loved"

Re: Are you still compatible with today's EDM?

absolutely not, I'm 32, been clubbing since I was 16, and I enjoy it more now than I ever did. Friday night we had Tiefschwarz play for 6 hours. Cant beat it.

Re: Are you still compatible with today's EDM?

guys like paul oakenfold and paul van dyke were the EDM people of their time and considered in the same way as many of these new dj's are imo

Re: Are you still compatible with today's EDM?

I'm still enjoying it a lot! I went out with my mates this weekend (all 30+) and we had a great time dancing to a 6 hour set of Tiefschwarz. The next day we still had enough energy to drag our selfs out to watch a live show of Fuck Buttons.
We also get all that EDM crap here but we're lucky enough to get as much good stuff as well.
