EDM?

[Cheesecake]

Hey ya'll,

Just curious if anyone out there besides me listens to this style of music. I can't be the only one (besides RikkiTikkii and iamgoldfish). I want to talk about the style, show what I think are the best songs, and discover new music (basically I want to nerd out lol).

Also mods, please don't combine this with the "What are you listening to" thread. EDM is different enough from "normal" music styles that I think it deserves it's own thread.

So. We got any other EDM lovers out there?

 

[RikkiTikkii]

I love that you tagged me in this LOL
I’m following this thread, really curious if anyone else loves ODESZA as much as I do

I’ll start
I’m kind of in a hyperfixation right now with Muse so I haven’t been listening to EDM allot but I recently found a really nice MEMBA song

very tasty.

 

[QCAquaholic]

Ya, I do. I even DJ'ed some in the early-mid 2000's, nothing huge though. My brother goes back to the early-mid 90's.

Woah! That's awesome. I'm going to try producing this summer with FL Studios.

Lol.
Oh yeah. I listened to Fractures. It was awesome, and would be my current favorite Illenium track, but I also heard It's All On You . I also listened to Stand Off. I have to listen again though cuz I can't remember how much I liked it. I'll give that one a listen too.
This song is an absolute GEM. SO GOOD!!!! I've listened at least 30 times in the past 2 months. I can't get enough of it.

 

[NevermindIgnoreMe]

I like TheFatRat, and I have an EDM setting on my keyboard which you can use to layer different sounds, it's not fancy but it sounds awesome. My little brothers keep sneaking into my room and turning it all the way up which is annoying, but it's not the worst alarm clock. Certainly gets you up and moving...

I mainly listen to Owl City and some Christian music though. And then there's all the random genres meshed in my playlists...

I use to be really into Owl City few years ago. Tbf he started my dive into music lol
Not on my rotation as much, but still appreciate him nonetheless

I do hear a bit about TheFatRat though, some friends of mine like them

I've pretty much exclusively listened to EDM for a few years now. Most other new music to me has lost it's flair, it's so fake. The vast majority of artists don't even know the lyrics to their own songs. They don't write their own music very often and when they preform live it's a lot of lip syncing. BBC radio 1 has a nice little series of asking musical artists to pick up the song and sing their own lyrics. The only one I've seen 100% it was Diplo. Kinda makes me sad where pop music has come from and where it's ended up now.

I've been on a big throwback EDM run lately. I think everything in the playlist is no newer than 2013. Lot of Deadmau5, Swedish House Mafia, Tiesto and Avicii. I'll break it up though with some Illenium, Seven Lions, Alison Wonderland and Rezz. Nice variety of different styles.

I agree. Especially with people like Billie Eilish. If I listen to pop it's generally people who write their own music, though tbh some artists sound great even if its somewhat fake.

I also listen to EDM almost exclusively. I think I've got 111 different artists I regularly listen to. Top among them are Martin Garrix, Illenium, Tristam, Teminite, Goblins From Mars, MDK, and Besomorph.
Lol what good songs does Swedish House Mafia have besides Greyhound and Don't You Worry Child?
Rezz is interesting. I feel like she's going to blow up soon.

They've got a lot of great music. I've listened to a few of their sets I like pretty much all their stuff. Their Ultra Miami 2018 reunion set was phenomenal. But they don't necessarily officially release a lot of their music, more than other DJ/producers at least. But Miami 2 Ibiza, One, Antidote, Here we go and Save the World are all great songs. Hopefully they get some new music out soon I'm excited to see what they've got.

I hope Rezz blows up she deserves it. She's kinda niche though. I thought Vanic was gonna blow up a few years ago, but it hasn't happened yet. He killed it in 2017 too. So ya never know. I really desperately want an Alison Wonderland and Rezz collab. That would make my life complete.

Aw dude Alison Wonderland x Rezz would be INSANE. That'd be epiiic.
Are you familiar with the, ahem, heavier side of Dubstep? Producers like Code Pandorum, Evilwave, Faytal, Snails etc.? I think REAPER x Eptic would CRAZY.
Also I wish Aero Chord would produce some better music.

i remeber talking to you about ILLENIUM! Love that man, ive been addicted to one of the collabs he did with Excision for awhile now, it hasnt left my rotation for awhile

but probably my favorite song by him is Crashing, im so into the melodical kind of EDM and crashing p much does just that

Tiesto is also a name I havent heard in awhile and me and my friends were talking about him the other day. He did a remix of Resistance by Muse, crazy stuff. It rlly radiates the late 2000s EDM and it's great

Rezz is also very cool and I LOVE Vanic, esp his collabs with K. Flay. Such good songs, wish they were
on spotify or i would listen to them allot more

I'm not exclusively EDM, but it is my favorite genre. I'm very much an indie/alt kid too hahaha

on that note here's some songs that recently got on my rotation regarding EDM. pretty bassheady the first two ngl lol

 

[Ptera]

I listen to a large variety of music genres, one of them being EDM. I have a preference for melodic dubstep. Some of my favorite artists are Blackmill, MiTiS, Lindsey Stirling, and Matias Puumala.

mmmm blackmill i havent heard that name in awhile
I had a feeling MiTiS was familiar and apparently one of my favorite artists did his album/EP covers (Till The End/Away/By My Side) He does allot of work with ODESZA. How interesting

on that note here's some songs that recently got on my rotation regarding EDM. pretty bassheady the first two ngl lol

I remember that! Gold is phenomenal. Awesome song. I think Lost is my favorite from him. Also found out last year Emilie Brandt who does the vocals on it lives not too far from me when she isn't in LA, kinda cool. Illenium has some really phenomenal collabs, sometimes he gets overpowered a bit when it's a collab with a harder EDM artist, but overall still good. I prefer the more melodical side of EDM as well. It feels like there's a bit more structure to it.

Personally I've never been too crazy on Tiesto's remixes. Though I haven't gotten too deep on them yet. I've been too busy listening to Traffic and C'mon on loop. Really bugs me Spotify doesn't have the traffic extended version and only has the radio edit. I have to resort to shenanigans for it.

Is it just me or does it feel like every collab Vanic does is with K. Flay It's like he either releases a K. Flay collab or a Zella Day remix. But somehow it's all super good and doesn't get old.

Love me some indie/alt too, though I haven't listened to it that much recently. I put together a small playlist a few years ago and haven't taken the time to expand it since then. Still nice to go back to every now and then. There's a decent bit of overlap with indie and some EDM as well. Makes for a nice blend.

Looks like I got some new music to give a listen to now from ya!

I am not so much. Heavier dubstep has to grow on me. Personally there's a point for me where it stops becoming music and is more of just noise, so I tend to stay more melodic. Took me a few months to really start listening to Rezz it was too out there for me for a while. If I do listen to heavier dubstep it's usually from an artist who usually does more like house and is doing a collab or trying something heavier, or a remix on a more melodic song.

Yeah I tend to gravitate towards it allot more, especially with people like Flume who tend to have a little bit of both. The Skin Companions are phenomenal and have some of my favorites by him

as for Tiesto, he’s a name I’m familiar with but I never decided to look into. I’m like that with allot of DJs such as Kaskade and Bassnectar lol familiar with some things but I don’t tend to listen to them as much.

can we talk about Louis the Child’s remix of Zella Days Compass? Great remix and I wish it was on Spotify too. A killer remix honestly

but god yeah I’m very much an indie/alt person. Like Glass Animals, Young The Giant, and Joywave are my bread and butter. I’m currently trying to get into Arctic Monkeys and I’m kind of wanting to explore The Strokes? We’ll see if anyone can convince me lol
And they do tend to overlap, especially with the festivals. I think the taste tends to blend just a little.

Man, Illenium's remix of Say it by flume is absolutely phenomenal. Both their styles fit so well together.

Can't recommend Tiesto enough. So good. Honestly Dutch DJs are freaking gods. Closely followed by Swedish DJs. I don't know what it is about those two countries and turning out the best DJs in the world but they do it regularly. Kaskade is fantastic as well I love his stuff.

Never been too big on Louis the Child, but that's a very good remix.

You just reminded me of a few mashups. Most importantly this one. Perfect blend of Indie and EDM. I can never get enough of Of Monsters and Men. Indie groups always have the most creative names I love it.

Oh that is a good remix, forgot about that one lol I do like the original very much. My favorite by Flume is probably Take a Chance. No clue why but it always comes to mind

Weekend is also very up there for me. Very slow and soft compared to others but I adore it for some reason

I like a good bit of Of Monsters and Men, War from their recent record was a hyperfixation track last year for me lol I like it when the worlds collide sometimes, like Flume collaborating with Glass Animal's frontman. Im still waiting for ODESZA to do something similar.

oh I just remembered Louis The Child did something like that too. They collabed with Foster the People which was pretty cool, since I love FTP very much

yeah got to love band names. Hippo Campus, The Wombats, Saint Motel, Two Door Cinema Club, lol the list goes on

Different genres are better for different moods IME. House is usually a good all arounder, along with Future Bass and such. Lol heavier styles are for headbanging moods lol.
I like most genres except for the super weird ones like Extratone and Speedcore. Those certainly
aren't music.

Ooh I haven't heard that one somehow, even though I'm super into both artists. I'll have to listen.

Lol, Griztronics is insane. I heard it a couple of days ago. It takes a couple of listens to get used to it.

Tiesto is the Godfather of EDM. He's been DJing and producing since the 90's and 2000's (I'm sure you know that lol). Personally my all-time favorites by him are Secrets, Affliction, and Ritual.
Speaking of Crashing...

Rev I highly recommend that song. Great melody. Even my sister who isn't into EDM liked it.

Can't recommend Tiesto enough. So good. Honestly Dutch DJs are freaking gods. Closely followed by Swedish DJs. I don't know what it is about those two countries and turning out the best DJs in the world but they do it regularly. Kaskade is fantastic as well I love his stuff.

Martin Garrix, anyone?

Fun fact: Tiesto won worlds best DJ a couple of years back, and he's still listed in the top 10.

I never really listened to a whole lot of Flume. He kinda blew up in 2016 and then I forgot about him. Maybe I'll listen to more soon. I was really into ODESZA a few years ago and kinda fell off a bit. Haven't listened to any of their new stuff at all, need to get back on that.

I listed to the Foster the People and Louis the Child when it came out. Haven't been able to get into it. Maybe it'll grow on me with time, who knows. I loved Pumped up Kicks but besides that haven't really enjoyed any of FTP's other songs very much.

I like headbangers to an extent. If it gets too heavy it's just noise, so I've got a line. I do have a car playlist that's just straight headbangers. Great if I'm tired and need to drive somewhere

Secrets is a great song, I never get tired of it. Tiesto putting out nothing but good music. Fun fact he also discovered Martin Garrix. Every time I listen to Martin Garrix I'm like man what the heck am I doing with my life XD. Dude was like 16 when he was working on Animals he's incredible. Can't wait to see what he comes out with over the next decade.

I'm not one for going to concerts and stuff, not really my speed, but man Tiesto and Swedish House Mafia are bucket list sets for me. Can't pass those up.

Griztonics is pretty feral and I guess that’s why I like it LOL
And tiesto is very much an EDM legend, I know that hahaha that’s how I know his name, just never got myself to familiarize myself with songs by him

Flume is great and I do love many songs from Skin. There’s so many bangers from there, I recommend giving it a spin at some point if you haven’t.
ODESZA is literally my favorite artist, they cannot do me wrong in anyway. A Moment Apart is a phenomenal record and probably my favorite of all time, it’s a stunning collection. Fan favorite seems to still be In Return, but I got to experience the release of AMA, so there’s bit of an emotional attachment there lol my favorite off AMA is Divide and from In Return it’s All We Need.

also AMAZING live, I saw them live 2 years ago. Probably the best night of my life, I cannot wait for them to tour again

Fair enough.
It's way out on the edge of the experimental side of EDM, and I love that Griz and Subtronics had the guts to do that. It's always cool to see artists put out edgy songs like that.

I will . Another artist to swell my artist folders up from 126 different artists (not kidding, I consistently listen to that many).
I'll also give ODESZA a look.
Hey I get the emotional attachment. I'm that way about Shurk, if you've heard of him. His music is what got me into EDM about 7 years ago.
I gotta go to some live shows....Martin Garrix was going to play down in Virginia and I was going to go BUT......

Lol if you play EDM in your car, there is no other track better than this one .

I know!! The guy is 16 and he already has a track with 1 billion+ views.
I wish he would release some more bass-heavy tracks. Not that the House he's producing currently is bad--it's some of the best out there--but I miss his heavier side, when he produced songs like Tremor, Wizard, Helicopter etc.

Yesss. If you say no to either a Tiesto or SHM set you're insane.
Also Alan Walker says one of the only times he was nervous during his career was when he met Tiesto for the first time, which speaks volumes about how foundational Tiesto was and is to EDM.
This song is beautiful. One of the better Melodic Trap songs I've heard (Melodic Trap is just a nickname I came up with for happy, melody-forward Trap songs).

Haha not my kinda vibe for driving. I listen to a lot of Krewella and Alison Wonderland when I drive.

I mean he's 24 now. He just started blowing up at 15-16 which was just absurd. Makes me real depressed looking at what he's done just a couple years older than me and then what I've done Just incredible. I love his current house stuff since that's more my pace.

If either of them end up doing a set near me I will drop anything to go. Not missing that.
Alan Walker is only 22, he's just as old as me. Dude grew up listening to Tiesto. Going and meeting your idol like Tiesto, a transcendent DJ, will make anybody nervous I don't blame the guy.

Haha not my kinda vibe for driving. I listen to a lot of Krewella and Alison Wonderland when I drive.

Lol I was kidding .
It is amazing. I really love drown, which is so underrated.
I guess that's true. The only other times Alan said he was that nervous was at his first show and when he played a set for the freaking king and queen of Norway, so it shows the respect he has for Tiesto.
RikkiTikkii this song is almost as insane as Griztronics.
