So this guy makes middle of the road deriviative house music and then complains about the state of music. I mean its not terrible but pretty much electro house by numbers. Sounds like he listened to some Deadmau5 who in turn ripped off some French house from 5 years ago.
- his music is derivative as fuck.inteliboy
- Absolutely, I last 5 seconds of this video, a nasty shrill nasal tone, with no soul, balls or feeling. Garbage. Was ever thusmikotondria3

EDM is not dead, it just smells that way
every year somebody comes with some anti trance manifesto, let the simple folk have their simple folky dances, they are the ones producing and listening to that crap anyway
We just had a coronation of the new king here and fucking Armin van Buuren was playing some wank with and orchestra and the king needed to be behind the decks ... you can imagine how I feel about EDM these days, fuck em, make noise in your bedroom on a laptop and get it out there and don't hate on stupid pop music
- because making EDM used to be expensive and hard to pick upWeyland

We're still dancing to the music that we used to like.
I watched some of the WMC this year and even though I like a really wide spectrum of EDM, there were some music that my body rejected but the young crowd seemed to like in a fashionable way.
Steve Aoki, Afrojack, Skrillex and derivations i'm talking about- Fucking cake-slinging wanker.
Get off the stage and play the fucking music until people forget who they're listening to.mikotondria3

The EDM thing is only really a few years old...it's a label marketing people slapped on the current set of producers who are more or less copying what other, better artists did a decade ago, but for a younger audience.

'EDM' is an odd thing looking from outside the US, especially talk of it being a few years old. I mean, some of us were turning vegetarian to this stuff 20 years ago...

- Well same thing as in the states. It's just that people in their teens today weren't around to experience that stuff, so it's all new to them.ukit2

Sorry, I can't let go of this...
"Al’s “hit song,” which currently has 5,000 views on YouTube, is a low-budget carnival of cheesiness that you’ll have to endure for three minutes to understand what the hoopla is all about. Even then, it may be hard to grasp the collective sum of human atrocity happening before your eyeballs. I never thought I’d say this, but I’d rather listen to Skrillex’s vapid screeching for an hour than have to play that video again (so please, guys, let’s not make this a meme?)."

Here's my two cents. I think your only job as a dj is to make people dance. I spun all through high school and college. Highschool I was playing a local under age night that was known for hard house. When I went to college...no one liked that shit. So I had to play a lot of 80's stuff, and took them by baby steps along a journey further into house, or stuff that I would actually like to play. Point being...at the end of the day, you just have to make people dance. Why so serious, its just a bunch of kids just wanting to dance, and they like drops. Relax, have fun, help them have fun...and making money off of it isn't too bad of a job. At the end of the day, spinning music is a service industry.
