SkimNate and friends Electronic/Dubstep/House Thread

[SkimNate]

It is impossible and I was told by a dj-friend early on not to worry about it for the most part. although training with that definitely helpsyou out A LOT. eventually it'll come naturally (more or less)

I dj differently than most though. I like going in with little or no plan. General outline and just winging it. on the fly is theo nly way I can. now I do have playlists to guide me or I get pissed because theres certain songs I never think of in the heat of the moment.

also here is my latest house track I posted on fb a while back, I feel like this one is good enough to post here:

I think I'm just gonna try to at least loosely stick to the system, at least for awhile.

Sick song btw... nice wolfgany sounding synth

[Luff]

not really in the genre of what normally goes in here, but whatever, crystal castles are fracking awesome and this remix is pretty good. health made this one so dark and eery, i love it. i don't know if i like it as much as the original, but it has a totally different feel (to me) so it's hard to compare.

p.s. the interwebz say they're recording their third album now and its set for release sometime in the summer. stoked.

Always hated Henry Rollins, this just shows further how much of a retard he is. He even admits to being over the hill. He talks about going to music festivals and making fun of the DJs there because they play other people's records. He has no idea that producers DJ their own material live nowadays.

[SkimNate]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0TSVti62r0

listen to this, doug. its already been sampled in a song hahaha

[WSMassiv]

Yeah the AC slater song. That's how I found out about the clip. Doesn't surprise me at all that it's Rollins. The dude has something negative to say about everything except the shitty punk music he spent a career making.

[SkimNate]

I think pendulum or someone did before that too. Yeah he's a ball licker. "dicking around on their macintosh" mhm and you were dicking around in your garage. same shit assfuckhole.

Where do you guys find new music? I'm in a DnB and Dubstep mood lately, and I'm just looking for the best places to either download really good mixes or stream good mixes.

[WSMassiv]

Where do you guys find new music? I'm in a DnB and Dubstep mood lately, and I'm just looking for the best places to either download really good mixes or stream good mixes.

I've been looking at people's soundclouds a lot. Skream and Benga both update their stuff a lot, so that's a starting point if you're looking for some OG UK Bass. I've been listening to BBC radio shows a lot, mainly Pete Tong and Annie Mac (they play mainly house and electro, lots of dubstep too though).

The best thing out there IMO are the BBC essential mixes on Pete Tong's show. Basically he just invites the best DJs to come play their own 1-2 hour set on the show. Some amazing dubsteppers have been on there:

Nero: http://soundcloud.com/das-boy/2010-11-13-essential-mix-nero
Netsky: http://soundcloud.com/das-boy/2010-10-09-essential-mix-netsky
Doorly: http://soundcloud.com/das-boy/2010-09-18-essential-mix-doorly
Baement Jaxx: http://soundcloud.com/das-boy/2010-10-23-essential-mix-basement-jaxx

Here's Wolfgang's if you're feeling electro-y: http://soundcloud.com/das-boy/2010-11-06-essential-mix-wolfgang-gartner

And Pendulum because, well because legendary: http://soundcloud.com/das-boy/2010-07-17-essential-mix-pendulum

[ZapBulletRider]

fuck yeah, thanks man. Also last night I found UKF's Mixes channel on youtude and helped myself to some good shit. But a youtude is not practical for streaming in the car.

[ZapBulletRider]

Funny you mention Pendulum. This vid I'm bout to post is a few years old but it's one i always watch to get pumped for a parkour session and hence I associate the song itself with getting pumped. But I didn't know the song, so the other day in the car I went youtube > mp3, played the mp3 through my car stereo while running soundhound, to find out that it was Pendulum - Plastic World. I'd never heard of Pendulum and now 2 days later I've probably seen the name pop up half a dozen times.

Awesome. Yeah I didn't know much about them til recently either, but quickly realized they are idolized in the EDM world. alot of people don't know that Knife Party is their side project, same guys:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcejLp72iCE


if streaming in the car is an issue, I know that most of those essential mixes, as well as pete tong and annie mac's shows can be downloaded from various legal/less than legal outlets on the internet. let me know if you have trouble finding any

[Luff]

this is frackin awesome http://soundcloud.com/keysnkrates/bassnectar-ugly-keys-n-krates

edit: haha, i forgot about that song doug, it always makes me lol

oh and this is pretty dope too


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_oJfRBXsWA

[ZapBulletRider]

I can stream YouTube in the car, it's just, why stream video when I can only listen, it's more data and the sound quality suffers. Soundcloud, podcasts, online radio, etc are better options.

[Luff]

idk if you're into this, but i know there's a pendulum song is this mix. http://soundcloud.com/techniquerecordings/episode-11-technique-podcast

it's pretty upbeat

[ZapBulletRider]

Just listened to that Netsky set on my drive home. Shit was getting fukkin LIVE up in my car

[WSMassiv]

nice I listened to it working out yesterday. I forgot that one is pretty much all D&B

[ZapBulletRider]

Yeah the only Netsky I'd heard was his remix of Rusko's "Everyday", which is sick and it's a drumstep track, so I was pretty much expecting it to be DnB.

[WSMassiv]

I think he's like Nero, in that he started out in D&B but tried out dubstep once Rusko, Skream, etc started making dubstep popular. I think he still does much more drumstep/D&B stuff though.

and good call on the 'Everyday' remix that song is great

[Luff]

Im not, just hitting the pre and after parties

O well fuck den, I might run into you. This girl I hooked up with at Datsik last year (who goes to school in Colorado) is getting paid to dance at Ultra so...I'm going to try and run into her via after parties.

might have posted this before, but i'm posting just in case because it's such a heavy, well crafted track. amazing use of sound, and absence of sound to create biiig heavy drops that are simple, but hit you like a train. have some good phones or if possible, a good sound system for this. the builds and drops are heaven.

http://www.youtube.com/umftv


yes been watching since yesterday wanting to end my life. my friend lives in miami I easily could have gone and had a spot to crash. whatever. Mord Fustang killed it earlier, as did Zedd. I hope I didn't miss Porter. I had a lot of friends say that Kaskade's set last night was incredible too, plus he played an afterparty at amnesia


Justice and Avicii should be sick tonight

[ZapBulletRider]

If they show their sets

[WSMassiv]

they're mainstage, im assuming they will

also they showed netsky earlier.... it was sick

[Luff]

god i hope they show justice

[dan.nj]

Justice now. This is fracking epic, thanks for posting the link. I wish I were at Ultra.

[GnipGnop]

lol at avicii putting on a good set.

[Luff]

justice was out of control. such a good set. if i was actually there i would have been crying tears of joy. the phantom/we are your friends span was giving me chills.

must.see.them.live.

then followed by avicii/madonna lol.

[ZapBulletRider]

I'm having to redo a room this weekend (fix walls, paint, redo all molding, redo floors, etc)

I found a desktop app called Airfoil that lets you broadcast the audio from your comp to other clients, and there's an app for the phone called AirBubble that lets you receive. It's the only way I could manage to stream this on my phone. Pretty sick though, got the setup now and I'm in the fuckin zone.

[ZapBulletRider]

they're mainstage, im assuming they will

also they showed netsky earlier.... it was sick

yeah I missed out on that, I was at Lowes.. disappointed about that and also Skream & Benga and Zed's Dead

[WSMassiv]

dang im pissed I missed skream and benga

fatboy slim was really good, I've never seen him play a set. justice was incredible. netsky actually played this afternoon too, it was good but not as good as that bbc set. avicii was dissapointing, ive heard similar things about his shows but I was hoping for more considering hes headlining ultra

[drewC.]

Pretty fucking sick music video animation


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=je8UCmQ45h4

[ZapBulletRider]

I had never heard Avicii and didn't think he was that bad, for some reason I had the expectation that I wouldn't like his set so maybe it's just that it was better than I expected.

My favorite thing about this feed is how ridiculous the comments get. It doesn't matter who's on stage, every 2 minutes you'll see "Skrillex is killing it right now!"


Haha I just clicked back to it and the most recent comment was "why don't I see Skrillex on my screen?"

[WSMassiv]

yeah I like avicii's stuff, he just didn't do alot of mixing, mainly crossfader smashing. so far from what I've seen, mord fustang was doing the most live mixing. he was playing off the beatpad and doing tons of effects


bingo players are killing it right now

just loaded up the live feed to hear KICK OUT THE EPIC MOTHER FUCCKKKEEERR (sorry aaron). gotta love it.

live feed is still kewl, but definitely other stages id be at if i was there :(.

[ZapBulletRider]

I hope they show SBTRKT

[Luff]

I hope they show SBTRKT

Ohhh yea, I'd love to see SBTRKT. But, isn't SBTRKT on now? That stage has some good acts on it.

EDIT: Somebody find me that mashup of Levels and Somebody I used to Know that Avicii played. His set bored me a little (granted I was sitting in my room at home), but that song was good.

[ZapBulletRider]

yeah, 3:30, guess they're not showing him :(

[GnipGnop]

if you want good live shows/sets, then look into mnus/Richie Hawtin's stuff.

[Luff]

lollin at these people crowd surfing in the raft

[WSMassiv]

knife party on now, but theyre showing sander van doorn instead. still good but would rather see knife party

[Luff]

fedde le grand woohooo

[Luff]

van buuren's ASOT trance set was pretty dope. he might have turned me on to trance.

[ZapBulletRider]

http://i.qkme.me/3ogtuw.jpg

[WSMassiv]

lol funny but I disagree


also, my personal one word summary of Ultra 2012: "LEVELS"

[carbonisyourfriend]

levels braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaa

[WSMassiv]

"first we get the khakis, then we play levels. THEN we get the chicks"

[Luff]

http://i.imgur.com/PFDNV.jpg

[ZapBulletRider]

haha yeah I posted that here and on my brother's facebook before I thought about it and realized, I sing the hook to Scary Monsters all the time so clearly that's not true. I ended up deleting it in embarrassment.

And yeah, that's a pretty good way to sum up Ultra.

[WSMassiv]

I mean I love levels like everybody else, but holy crap give it a rest.

Now this is one song I didn't mind hearing a few times:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSehY3DWMcw&feature=related

[ejb]

this girl was telling me how awesome buku fest was in new orleans ( didnt go, cool kid ) and about avicci. so i arrogantly said 'yea i heard he played levels live how crazy was that ? "

BLOUSE MU5iC

[ZapBulletRider]

I like Finally Moving better anyways

[WSMassiv]

thats pretty lights brest


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaKUaOhGIjU

[Luff]

the only levels i thoroughly enjoyed was the one avicii played mashed up with somebody i used to know. then guetta played the exact same fracking song the next night and it blew dicks. so i dont know if i was still on my hype train after justice or what. but, yea, so many levels of levels. we were also only seeing the main stage and headliners though, so that probably had a lot to do with it.

did anyone else catch fedde's set? i thought that shit was sick.

best thing i saw was during armin van buuren's ASOT stage set and he played this song:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94diW3B-LWM

and this rave girl decked out in beady and furry bracelets was singing along at the top of her lungs during the opening with tears streaming down her face. balling her eyes out. the camera stayed on her for just about the entire vocal part too. so funny.

[ZapBulletRider]

thats pretty lights brest



Yeah I also really like I Know The Truth too, rather than post a generic vid of it here's a really sick parkour vid that features both songs:

Zeds Dead tonight!

[Luff]

rusko's songs is out today. it's aight. good little mix of stuff. definitely has a lot of reggae influence. thunder is probably my favorite.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8wtRDh_IV0

here's some more that are on youtube

roll da beats - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GovK09oxi-Y (this one's pretty good too)

opium - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtV7QnEoa1Y

m357 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mzKBrme374

EDIT: l0o0o0ol I knew I recognized the vocals from M357. I used to listen to this song all the time years ago, haha. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4vsHcxzuCY Funny shit.

[WSMassiv]

zeeb- if you like those, check out country road and hot like sauce. also the jay-z all of the lights remix is really good


luff- I did see armin's set. it was great, but not as great as the 3 hour set I saw him play in DC. I heard about rusko's album, I need to listen. apparently he got really pissed at Mad Decent for leaking the album a couple weeks back. he threatened to release it himself today for free in retaliation, haha. I love his music but he strikes me as a little immature.

[Luff]

Haha, I did read something about the dispute about it leaking. I think it's a pretty decent album though, at least worth a listen.

[WSMassiv]

m357 is incredible. seriously.

holy space sounds

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAltr8P6CG8

[ZapBulletRider]

I wish someone had played real, OG dubstep for me when I first heard about dubstep. I'm only just now (as of last weekend) discovering real dubstep. I've grown to like the better brostep out there but for me it's an acquired taste and it took me a while to come around. I think if I'd heard some of the early stuff off the bat I would have immediately liked it b/c I'm such a fan of old 70's dub and those early dubstep producers drew heavily on that sound. Lots of space in the mix which I really like. I remembered making some comments about dubstep a while ago so I tracked them down, pretty funny reading them now, circa late 2010:


I have been meaning to look into dubstep because I love dub ( esp o.g. Dub like Lee Scratch Perry), and I see dubstep pimped like crazy these days. I like a lot of different genres of music, and I love a lot of electronic subgenres, but I have to say everything posted in this thread was horrible. I'm gonna give it about 15 mins of searching and if I don't find something impressive it's going in the garbage bin with autotuned rap/r&b and country.

----

Pandora'ing now... the problem I have with it is it's too gimmicky, it sounds like it's made for a racing movie or Mortal Kombat or something. Like the best songs i've heard so far, 2/3 of the elements aren't bad, and then there's like 1/3 of it that's bogged down with cheesy effects and predictable breaks.

----

And maybe I'm wrong and by some divine miracle I only happened to hear the absolute worst dubstep out there. Please, throw down the best dubstep you know of and I will listen to it. I would love to be wrong about this.

In my defense, the people in that thread were throwing down pretty shitty brostep that didn't bear much if any resemblance to dub. Anyway I've been listening to the Dubstep Warz show from 2006 that's kind of credited with being what finally broke dubstep into the mainstream, and I really like this sound. It's kind of crazy to see how much the sound has changed in just 6 years. Here's the whole 2 hour show, broken up into tracks (there's a player on the page). I'm sure you guys are probably up on this but for those like me who maybe had only heard modern dubstep, this is well worth checking out.

ZBR, I always link people this dubstep mix if they ever want to hear what original and truer form dub sounds like. It's a heady, deep and atmospheric mix, and full of great dub tracks, as well as great mixing. Warning though; it's not smack your face ameri-dub like Skrillex.

Here it is if you're interested. Make sure to have some decent speakers as there is a lot of melodious low bass in it.

I've heard Skream comment a few times recently saying he'd rather everyone just refer to it as UK bass. It's really interesting to me how there's this big tie between English and Jamaican music. Reggae spawned dub, and dub is really the basis of all this original dubstep music. Reggae/dancehall rhythms, tons of snare rim hits, and the only difference is how they use the technology to do crazy stuff with the bass and all the crazy effects (which is what original dub music is all about anyway, samples and effects). Skrillex, Flux Pavilion, Zeds Dead, etc... all the "brostep" still has elements of dub but they've just combined it with what people call "electro" so heavily that it's really just it's own genre now.

This happens a lot more than you'd probably think.

The usual process of modern, popular music music goes like this..some group of people gets fed up with the common, accepted "white" music (which has often become overly commercialized) and decide to go back to something more authentic and meaningful. One easy example is looking back to punk and where it held its roots in the late 70s/early 80s. Members of bands such as The Clash and the Sex Pistols were fed up with the glam rock and shit that had been dominating the industry. They wanted something authentic that had real roots of rebellion in it. What had that? Reggae and it's "back to Africa" message. What'd they do? They modified and used elements of reggae and formed what came to be known as "punk". You can hear it in a lot of Clash songs, and they even covered reggae songs. But, this is just a quick run down and is by no means exactly how punk evolved (especially since this is focused on the UK punk scene), but the basic idea is still there.

The process continues, punk becomes commercialized, and history repeats itself. Dubstep comes out of dub, like punk came out of reggae, and whatever music before it came out of jazz.

So, really, you can see why dubstep pioneers are so adamantly opposed to "brostep," especially with the commercial success of it in America. In a way, brostep just embodies the commercialism which has exploited dubstep.

[WSMassiv]

And reggae spawned from early american jazz/blues/and rock.... the trail continues back and back. I had no idea about that connection between Reggae and Punk. I had a HUGE reggae phase (never really ended) but I only ever went through a minor punk phase. Looking at how drastically music changed over the 20th century as opposed to the previous centuries... it's crazy to think what's going to happen in the 21st, and we're right in the middle of it with this electronic revival.



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYyqyQjyHaA&feature=related

[Luff]

Jazz can hardly be considered American music. It may have developed in America, but the people who developed it were not really Americans, just sayin ;).

But yea, UK punk had roots in reggae. American not so much, that came out of mainly garage rock. But, you can hear it pretty heavily in songs like this:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jO2bC7rJl5s

[ZapBulletRider]

nowhere is the reggae-punk connection clearer than in Bad Brains.

Gnop, thanks for that mix. It's most likely the same stuff I'm listening to right now, the OG's of the scene from pre-2006.

[Luff]

nowhere is the reggae-punk connection clearer than in Bad Brains.

Totes mcgotes.

But yea, we were talking about this in my English class the other day and it just kind of dawned on me, "This is why dubstep pioneers hate the current state of the genre so much."

[ZapBulletRider]

yeah and after listening to it for the last couple days and reading up on the history I can totally see why. A lot of what it was all about in the beginning has been lost and replaced with more robot noises and bigger drops. But I do like some of the better brostep, there's still some good innovation going on, but it's kind of a different genre in many ways, even though it's still called by the same name.

[WSMassiv]

Jazz can hardly be considered American music. It may have developed in America, but the people who developed it were not really Americans, just sayin ;)

come on luff what do you think the point of my post was? remember the part where I said back and back and I even used 3 dots?

[Luff]

well frack me in the arse

[ZapBulletRider]

what amazes me is how new the genre of dubstep, even its roots, actually are. I was reading how Skream started making beats on a cracked version of Fruity Loops at 15 and I was like, wow, Fruity Loops was around back then? Then I realized, I was a senior in college at that time making beats on a cracked version of Fruity Loops to play guitar to. Kind of funny.

[WSMassiv]

its insane what the technology is allowing people to do. avicii started on a cracked version of fruity loops. I played around with a cracked version in college too trying to copy sublime songs and make rhythms also to play guitar to lol. wish I would have stuck with it but ill say that it's making learning ableton that much easier. soon im going to take 3-4 days off work and dedicate them solely to learning that program.

most of you probably know i have an unnatural obsession with "With You Friends (Long Drive)".

He's pretty good, so I thought I'd share.

45 mins of house/progressive/electro/dubstep mixed by yours truly. Listen if you get a chance:

http://soundcloud.com/dpmdc/dpm-aprilfools

[SkimNate]

great mix dude!

[WSMassiv]

thanks alot man I saw your comments on soundcloud too, really appreciated it. was the first time I transitioned between BPMs too, by throwing "Summit" in there towards the end. Also played around with effects a little. I finally understand how to use reverb to build up a transition, though I figured it out as I was mixing this and I was too late haha

[Luff]

cool stuff, whatd you use to mix?

[WSMassiv]

my controller is a traktor s2, software traktor pro

[Luff]

my controller is a traktor s2, software traktor pro

Oh, nice. How do you like the S2?

Speaking of Traktor, they just slashed a lot of their prices: http://www.digitaldjtips.com/2012/04/new-traktor-scratch-a6-a10-2-5-prosoftware/

[SkimNate]

pro 2 is fucking beast,

[WSMassiv]

the s2 is awesome. I mean it's my first controller but I'm pretty confident you can do everything possible with 2 decks on it. 2 two sample decks really make it into a 4 deck controller anyway. I'm at the point where I'd be pretty confident playing a club or show on my s2. Looks like it's $560 now, I got really lucky and got it for $300 on a crazy amazon sale.

The Traktor pro 2 is great software as well. The only other DJ software I've tried is virtualDJ, and it blows compared to Traktor. The coolest thing I've found so far is the grid on the tracks. For instance, say I want to mix a 70bpm reggae song into a 140bpm dubstep track. You can just multiply the reggae song's grid x2, to make its BPM 140 (without speeding up the song). Alternately, you could divide the dubstep song's grid by 2, making its BPM 70. Shit is so cash.

[WSMassiv]

Nervo are not just big because they're really hot. They are seriously good DJs. Loving this mix:

http://soundcloud.com/nervomusic/nervo-nation-december-17-2011

[SkimNate]

essentially 70bpm and 140 is the same exact thing. in any serato program it will automatically match

[WSMassiv]

Yeah that's what I gathered, that's why its so easy to do. It would be nice to have it done automatically but it's only one small step to do it.

[WSMassiv]

skream took over annie mac's show for a night. I havent listened yet but im sure its good:

http://www.getdarker.com/audio/sets/skream-radio-one-200112/

[ZapBulletRider]

yeah I've been meaning to check that out. Man I've been listening to a lot of different stuff lately, but I keep going back to that Netsky Essential Mix set. I've heard the whole thing through a couple of times, but it's become my standby for the last couple of weeks or since whenever you posted it. I googled the best Essential Mixes over the years and favorited a bunch of them to check them out later, but even w/ a long list to check out I keep going back to Netsky. I did listen to the Oakenfold Goa set from '94 on my drive home yesterday, it was voted best ever Essential Mix in 2000 so I figured it was worth a shot, even though I was afraid it would sound dated. It didn't. I hit really bad traffic and was running late for our first dodgeball game, so I once I got past the traffic I was fucking booking it and that set was the perfect soundtrack. Check it.

http://soundcloud.com/das-boy/paul-oakenfold-the-goa-mix-silver-gold-essential-mix-bbc-radio-1-1994-12-18

[WSMassiv]

Nice, thanks for the heads up on that one, it's downloadable so I'm gonna throw that on my ipod and check it out. I would feel the same way considering it's from '94 but I know that Oakenfold is considered a legend though I haven't really listened to much of his stuff.

you've prob listened to that netsky mix way more than I have at this point haha, it is really great though, and D&B usually isn't my favorite genre.

my favorite ultra set: http://www.live-sets.net/2012/03/25/mord-fustang-live-ultra-music-festival-2012-24-03-2012/ Mord Fustang. Lots of life effects and sampling.

[ZapBulletRider]

Nice, I'll check that. Yeah I've noticed DnB doesn't seem to have the mass appeal I'd expect it to have. I've heard people say "it's just a little too fast" to get into, which I can kind of see. I like a lot of different electronic genres but nothing gets me off like some good DnB. Probably helps that my first intro to electronic music was Squarepusher. If you can get used to 200+ bpm, 170ish seems like a walk in the park.

Oh also, I should mention the Four Tet essential mix. I listened to it yesterday b/c I love Four Tet, but when I went googling it actually came up on some top 10 lists. Some really good shit in there. I've got the Hot Chip one going right now, surprisingly good.

[WSMassiv]

Been meaning to check out that Four Tet one. Yeah actually I started listening to squarepusher the other day when you guys were talking about him, he is on another level.

I think D&B isn't as popular because it isn't as "danceable" as other genres. House/electro/dubstep get played most in clubs, so that's what makes them most popular I think.

[ZapBulletRider]

real talk. What Squarepusher are you listening to? Depending on what album you grab, you could get totally different shit. Don't even bother with his last 2 albums, they're ok if you're already a fan but not a good intro. If you want some straight electronic shit, check out Do You Know Squarepusher or Go Plastic or something around the 2000-2001ish time frame. Hard Normal Daddy was '97 and I've actually seen it pop up on some essential dnb album lists, it's a bit more organic & jazz-infused than his uber electronic shit from 2000, but still very electronic and probably one of the best intro albums. Music is Rotted one note was the following year and is straight up a tribute to Miles Davis' fusion shit. It's insanely good if you like that style of music, being biased I don't know how others would receive it, I think pitchfork gave it like a 9.7 though. Then Ultravisitor from 2004 is really good, kind of a mix, the title track is an absolute masterpiece (not a hyperbole) and is one of my favorite songs of all time.

What I love about squarepusher is he's a world-class bassist but he's also got a mind like a machine, and he jumps between the two extremes constantly in his music. He puts out some great shit and shit people probably see as over-indulgent and unlistenable. I like this interview vid because it shows how he works, he's a total recluse (or at least used to be) who wanted to do everything himself and not even be influenced by other musicians (he's talked about that in recent interviews).

Can you tell he's one of my top 10 favorite musicians of all time? haha

(fast forward the first minute)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnLsxCbF8IY

[WSMassiv]

Honestly I just put his name in Youtube and started listening to stuff. Now that I have some guidlines I know what to check out, thanks. The Miles Davis fusion tribute stuff sounds sick I'm def going to listen to that album.

[ZapBulletRider]

Yeah and the more I think about it, Hard Normal Daddy is probably the best general intro. And I was wrong, Pitchfork actually gave it a 9.8 but they've since removed the review from their site, no idea why.

So many good posts on the past few pages, rep will be awarded. I like when you guys post the older stuff before I got into this genre. There's so much I've passed over

Also saw ZBR has been posting in here recently then saw this on facebook and has a little lul (sorry if toast)
http://i39.tinypic.com/aud1qd.jpg

[WSMassiv]

hahaha that's great.


I made a small believer out of one of my good friends today (well maybe just less of a hater). This guy HATES electronic music, his only real exposure so far has been to brostep, and in his words he "hates transformer noises and drops." He was annoyed hanging out with people listening to brostep songs and everyone is just waiting for the drop. I have a lot of respect for his taste in music (he's a hip hop connoisseur, has great taste in hip hop) and he's a really smart dude so I knew it would be worth the time. I explained to him about "brostep" and how much great downtempo stuff there is out there.

I showed him some Pretty Lights, SBTRKT, Kaskade, and some old school proghouse Deadmau5. He admitted to liking it. He especially like SBTRKT- "Wildfire"

I am going to continue to change his views. Mild success.


Also, I went to youtube to listen to Ultravisitor. Saw this on the sidebar and listened. I love this:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CHV44WpKw4&feature=related

[ZapBulletRider]

Nice, I'm actually not real familiar with that album, I've probably heard that song once, years ago, so it may as well have been brand new to me.

And yeah, I was trying to pimp out "Wildfire" after it came up on my Slacker last month, I'm not sure if I posted it here or not but I definitely tried to get a few friends to listen, to mixed success. There's some good shit on that album but about half of it is not my thing. At all.


To throw down another SP track, here's a track I would probably consider the one of the most universally appealing/accessible songs of his, I could be way off on that though...



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2crQ2oOGts

shit.... last one, then I'll get off his dick, I promise.

What's the deal with Bassnectar? I know he has that remix of Ellie Goulding's "Lights" which I absolutely love, but I hear a lot of trash talked about his shit and the one song I youtubed the other day wasn't all that great, but it could've been a bad apple. He's one of the only electronic acts coming near here soon and I'm wondering if he's worth seeing.

[WSMassiv]

this is my favorite Bassnectar song, after "Lights". It's amazing:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v90utlNYnBI

I've never really heard trash talked about him, what have you heard? He's not my favorite overall but based on how much I love the songs of his I do like, I would definitely see a show of his. I've heard that he has a ton of lights and it's really a great production.

Hauling ass and weaving in and out of traffic like I was on some epic mission. Listen loud and on good speakers for full effect.

Doug's link for Gramatic got me perusing youtube for more and I ran across this (it's not dubstep like the title, just chill as fuck):

I'm not a huge fan of mashups, but I do like good hiphop and this one has Guru over the same song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WsBUYJfFNM

Here's some housey stuff. Good warm vibes. I'm really digging this tune right now.

I post in here too much..

But I'm really digging this mix right now, and I'm super bummed I'm not getting amped for Coachella, so it all fits. Here's some of the biggest electro house songs and remixes right now in a pretty high energy mix. This shit amps me up.

[Luff]

diggin that adrian lux song luff.

Nice mayn, I listened to it so many times last night haha, it's just the type of song I've been looking for. It still has that super dancey groove, but a little tamer than some of the more hard hitting stuff I've been hearing lately. I downloaded a bunch of cool stuff while I was up late doing homework, I'll post some of the better ones soon. I made like three new playlists pyoo pyoo.

Here's another Adrian Lux song just for fun.

EDIT: I totally meant to post the Basto remix of this song, even though the original is really good too.

[WSMassiv]

luff u killin it breh, I gotta catch up on this page. zeb I'm gonna download that DropCliff pak and listen this weekend during a battlefield extravaganza, that's alot of songs

[WSMassiv]

I haven't listented to much Aphex Twin. I remember hearing about him when I was in middle school, when I used to watch salad fingers on fat-pie.com. The dude on that website was all over Aphex's D. I figure I should get into him considering pretty much every current producer I like names him as a major influence.

1:15 of ambient Aphex Twin. I've been scrolling through and so far it's all pretty awesome if you're into extreme downtempo ambient stuff.

Dropcliff's back with a 60-song dubpak:

fuck yessesess, I've been checking back every few weeks to see when they'd be back. them and yall ninjas make finding good music so much easier

David Firth is one strange man. I love his shit though, as weird as it is. He still comes out with a new salad fingers once every year or so. I can definitely see the correlation between Aphex and him

[Luff]

last post of the day, i promise, haha. some dubstep for the br0z if you want some of that deep dark bass in your life.

Cyberoptics Remix of The Cure - A Forest http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxDTnxD0MIk

And this song is dope, free download too: http://soundcloud.com/chrisbmusik/chrisb-whats-a-half-step-among

[ZapBulletRider]

I don't know how you guys keep up w/ this many musicians/producers/etc

[Luff]

I normally download a bunch of stuff and then add it to iTunes. Then I'll listen to my Recently Added for a couple weeks and filter stuff into playlists so I know where it is. If it doesn't get put into a playlist or make it's mark it'll get lost into my overwhelmingly large iTunes library and forgotten about. Then I listen to those playlists and either remove songs or add new ones that fit. I also get bored with songs really easily (unless they are truly great), so that's why I always have so much crap.

EDIT: I'm sure this was on that link ZBR posted, but here's the part of the Justice Ultra set that was streamed: http://soundcloud.com/letthemusicplay/justice-live-ultra-music. hnnggghhh when it goes dead around 4:20 when Xavier was just standing there dead still for a minute, then We Are Your Friends/Phantom comes blaring in...shivers. I would have been going out of my mind if I was there. That fucking drop after We Are Your Friends...boner.

[ZapBulletRider]

see I get locked into an artist or album and listen to it over and over and over and then move on to something else. For instance since doug posted that Netsky essential mix I've probably listened to the full 2 hours 3 times or so, and I've heard about half of it the equivalent of like 15-20 times. The daft punk one I listened to all the way through twice in the same day, and the Nero one I've heard a bunch too. Whenever I go hunting for new music I'll soak in a bunch right at first, then latch on to a couple standouts for a good while. The 911 or however many essential mixes on that one soundcloud should keep me busy for the foreseeable future until I get tired of electronic music again..

edit: haha I just read your edit and I just happened to see you post that on FB and almost said something like "I posted this like 2 weeks ago noob"

[WSMassiv]

My approach is sort of between you two. On the one hand, when I come across an album/song I really like, I will play it over and over for a week to a few weeks, then get sick of it and not revisit it til months later. I always revisit though.

On the other hand, I go through tons of material, like Luff. When I come across a song I like, I look more into what that artist has done. I definitely go through periods where I listen to more standard instrumental bands, but I listen to way too much music that at this point electronic music is firmly and forever rooted in my lineup. There's just so much out there, and judging by the fact that I find roughly 1-3 new songs a day that I really enjoy, there's tons out there I would love but I just haven't heard yet.

Speaking of... I'm becoming a Madeon fan. Icarus came out not too long ago, might be toast but it's worth it this song is so great on so many levels (lol)

http://soundcloud.com/madeon/madeon-icarus

[ZapBulletRider]

Yeah, that's something I always do, when I find something I like by somebody I get research them, sometimes get their whole discography

I hate his attitude but man I love his music. That's a different style for him.

[Luff]

Haha yea, I was saying the same thing. I didn't want to like that song, but it's just too fracking good. Oh, and +1 on that Madeon song, I hadn't heard that one yet. Good stuff.

I'm still on my Adrian Lux kick:

First new song release off Squarepusher's upcoming album. I'm super stoked for this album, this sounds like the old Squarepusher that's kind of been missing for the last half a decade.

"Dark Steering" - it's a slow build
