You know who DJs and everyone has heard of? Paris Hilton. Should R☆ get her in instead of these unknowns?

Paris Hilton is everything wrong with DJing, they aren’t just DJ’s they make really good music and are pretty popular in the scene. Solomun nearly has 1 million likes on his Facebook, Dixon and black Madonna has not as much as solomun tales of us nearly have 500K or so, they’re not really unknowns

Not sure what you’re talking about there. We definitely use the term EDM in the Netherlands. Sure we are all aware their are other genres but no one will care if you say edm.. Then again we Dutch are a more chilled bunch and aren’t that hung up on terminology lol

I know many Dutch people that are very much djing and producing and none of them would ever use the term...perhaps you're just heavily influenced by American terms?

 

Wikipedia in fact confirms that

I’m not arguing where the terminology came from. My point is you stated it is not used anywhere but the States and I am correcting you by telling you the term is indeed used here and is not uncommon by any stretch of the imagination. And yes, many of our popular djs here have used the term edm. Are there people who won’t use the term? Of course, but my point is the use of it is definitely alive and well here..

I always thought it stood for Equadorian Domestic Mini-golf, but I guess I was wrong

[Halal Cyborg]

I could find some idiots in London using the term too but it doesn't make it less idiotic or Americanised and those people are never into proper house/Techno/jungle etc but as I said earlier David Guetta/Avici/Deadmau5/Skrillex etc is exclusively the only type of electronic music they're familiar with.

 

if it's alive and well there then that's because of American influence as I said before...if it originated in America then it stands to reason doesn't it?

Going back to R*s choice for the tracks and artist, I do not believe it would have been anything to do with costs. The radio added in DDH has had some great tracks and big names and that update wasn't even based around the station.

 

Its not the music thats expensive its the voice work, likeness and he fact that R* owns both.

Paris Hilton is the nuts. Her 18-deck bro-step set at Cinderellas in Romford is the stuff of legend. Do you know she invented the transform scratch?

Okay I don’t think any of those djs are even popular here, or if they are I don’t know anyone personally who listens to them so.. not the case here.

 

Anyway whatever, your original comment was not weather or not the term originated in the States, but that nowhere else actively uses it. It was a simple correction that’s all.

That’s a great list of ‘famous but not famous’ djs and these 4 belong in that discussion. 

 

TBM plays House and Disco (some techno), it’s def not EDM. Watch her Sonar 17 set 

 

There no such a thing as Underground EDM. The underground scene and the EDM scene are on opposite sides of the scale. 

My first time seeing and hearing The Black Madonna spin was at a Sonar event I watched a week ago on YouTube. She played a mix of Disco, House, and Techno. So, you’re right about that. However, I’m not familiar with her complete style, preferred  selection, and the type of crowd she plays for.

 

A good example of this would be Danny Tenaglia. Tenaglia has been in the House scene since it’s inception and before that with Disco. Though he’s been known to spin for an underground crowd, where he’s most passionate with his selections in Garage, he mainly caters to the Techno and Tribal-House crowd, because that’s where the audience is biggest and more main$tream.

 

As far as EDM goes, in terms of European style Electronica, Giorgio Moroder and Kraftwerk are what I’m more familiar with. EDM was originally an umbrella term. Now it’s used to identify a style of dance music and that certain style of music has been mainstream since the 90’s. 

 

I’ve never considered EDM to have an underground scene until yesterday, after reading an article from VICE, “Underground is the new EDM Buzzword.” Groups like Tale of Us are being regarded as that.

Yes, they are.

 

BTW, didn't we get some screenshots prior to other big updates via Twitter?

They are very secretive this time around.

[Piro]

Here's something I would love to hear on the radio:

Its "audio cartoon" created years ago by Lazlow himself. It's a throwback to the old timey radio serials.
It's about this British ninja DJ who fight evil (they made only five episodes)

It fits the theme and if I could I would surly choose him as my DJ.

Electronica, Giorgio Moroder and Kraftwerk

Electronica is indeed people like Kraftwerk, Moroder, Daft Punk, but again it’s not really EDM 

 

@Halal Cyborg summed up EDM well, Electronic music from the past came it’s many forms but when large amounts of money was thrown at it, this sub genre called EDM turned up and DJs got taking into the mainstream and became rockstars and IMO damaged that ‘Electronic Scene’

 

Solomun and the rest would be the big names were it not for EDM. 

 

PS Solomun is born in Bosnia, but grew up in Germany 

[Halal Cyborg]

Giorgio Moroder produced the Human Leagues "don't you want me?"

 

he also made my second favourite film score of all time with "Cat People" which coincidentally from the poster earlier was plundered for samples.

 

this was sampled by Cannibal Ox for their outstanding Hip-Hop opus "Iron Galaxy"

Moroder and Kraftwerk were the few that laid the foundation for what became “EDM” before it went mainstream. From my personal experiences, being a club goer since the early 90’s, EDM was an umbrella term. The sub genre of EDM that we both agree it is today, was regarded as commercial dance music and nothing else back then. Daft Punk was new to the scene when I started clubbing. 

 

Hip-Hop and Euro style music from artists like Kraftwerk worked in each other’s favor, as rap became more popularized with tracks like Bambatta’s Planet Rock, which gave attention to original EDM. The first stages of what Hip-Hop was experimenting with in European Electronica is what gave rise to EDM in America. 

 

If we’re on the same page, then we could agree that the ‘Electronic Scene’ died a long time ago.

House music was an American invention EDM wasn't when dance music suddenly appeared on America.

What "Meme" vehicles will we see added by this update? The Speedo Custom and Pounder Custom dont fall under the "Meme" heading because both are perfectly possible. 

Personally I think that a car that has a Stealth Mode like the Akula would be possible, extremely fun and sell like hot cakes. Even better is if it actually went invisible like the Aston Martin "Vanish", either make it so that 100% invisibility can  only be achieved by staying still or it has a bar that needs speed to recharge.

[senn]

I just hope the speedo custom gets an engine upgrade, I drove it for the first time in a while today....my god it's slow

This is very debatable

Speaking about my area of expertise, which is drum & bass, there's a liquid variation (High Contrast, Calibre, Netsky, etc) which is not Jungle. Legendary jungle drum & bass artists are ones like Goldie, Aphrodite or Roni Size.

It's also missing Jump Up (Hazard, Drumsound & Bassline Smith, Original Sin, etc.) and Neurofunk (Ed Rush & Optical, Calyx & Teebee, Phace, etc.).

And there's the fact that the stupid term EDM didn't exist before Jungle or even DnB so why should their name be sullied by being tied into it?

 

to me Jungle is pre Roni Size and Goldie era and is people like Remarc, Bizzy B, Dead Dred, Krome & Time etc

EDM term was made for  categorization purposes. It’s easier for DJs like myself to categorize music into one folder instead of 10-15 folders on Serato

Frankie Knuckles, who’s from NYC, experimented with Disco using drum machines at what was then the Warehouse. He left NY to do parties in Chicago. House music was only heard in the Warehouse and among club goers in Chicago. It was literally in-house music exclusive to the Warehouse and it’s audience.

 

Racism towards Black music (Disco) and gays is what inspired so many of the DJ’s back then to experiment with Disco, transitioning it into “House”. Techno (Detroit) was another form of music in which Black DJ’s and producers revolted against the establishment. 

 

European Electronica became popular in America through Hip-Hop as a lot of the artists in the 80’s sampled Moroder, Kraftwerk etc. This was initially the intended direction that most record labels wanted rap music to go. Electronic Dance Music gained popularity afterwards and became a staple in all the major clubs like Club USA, Tunnel, Palladium, Sound Factory and so on. Many of these clubs also mixed it up with the music depending on the night of the party and who was spinning.
