Discovery is overrated. There are only 5 songs on that album that are actually good. Homework beats Discovery by a long shot when talking about EDM.

I would argue that Guetta is the most influential as far as the general sound/formula of modern EDM goes (for better or worse).

>>72070527
Knife party is really the culprate, right behind skrillex

>>72070527
Nah his songs are a bit more poppy for the trash we have now.

Knife Party's LRAD is probably the most influential electronic tune of the last 10 years. Unfortunately.

If anything, internet friends and bonfire are the ones that made people want dubstep, but it was a saturation of dubstep in 2011-2013. That's why the genre kept dipping up until last year, with some good new producers like myro, and rebirth of the wub sound

>>72071766
You mean Brostep and that's been dead for around 3 years. Now we have trap which is the worst thing since the black death.

Brostep is slowly dying and turning into riddim, but the problem is repetition. Oolacile and cookie monsta make some good stuff, but the issue is being original. But people like stabby, phiso, murda, dr ozi, and soltan have been the main leaders for dubstep now, with the veterans taking steps back


If anything, listen to dirtyphonics remix of wondering, then listen to wavedash-Like that. That's how much dubstep has changed

Avicii - True brought drop focused EDM into the mainstream. All of Guetta/Daft Punk's big singles in the US weren't really anything different from the dance club music of the time.

Aw fucking hell can electronic music even be saved now that nobody has an attention span and everybody can get access to the tools?

>>72071940
I'd argue scary monsters and nice sprites also is an influential piece, but that is skrillexes best piece of work. That noisia remix included came out of left field

>>72071877
Riddim is a power word thrown around by kids used to justify the fact that they enjoy repetitive, simple dubstep. Every brostep artist starts out making 'riddim' because it's all they know how to make at the time before their style evolves.

Wavedash isn't even considered 'riddim' by any standards, but I'll bite. Artists like phiso and soltan are drops in the bucket. To say they're on the same level as artists like Getter/Zomboy/Excision or even Snails is a farce. Because they're releasing MORE, that doesn't mean their releases are better or more popular. |

I hate riddim if it's produced lazily, but if you make it work and it fits the sound system, it is addictive. Dubstep now, however, lacks the originality of 2009-2013. Look at stuff like snarebox-bounce or 16 bits remix of machine gun, which were ahead of their time. Now, you are considered amazing if you rip off subscape or the others.


And to add along, dubstep albums are rare, especially on CD's or vinyl. KTN, datsik, excision, zomboy, dabin, and hopefully a new moody good album are the standard, and few can do that well.


It's more of a thing you listen to for fun. Funtcase isn't the guy you use for a normal music talk, but guys like burial, benga, proxima, and the others are what /mu/ likes. Plus DnB albums are a lot better and have a long lasting period. Even stuff like dom and Roland industry holds up well, compared to recess

>>72072171
Once again you're talking about Brostep. Go listen to some fucking Deep medi or some shit.

>>72072243
Dude, brostep is dubstep. It's the same fucking thing. It's still the same tempos minus the use of synths and bass

>>72070008
Fuck yeah, never see C&K on /mu/. Not better but fun as fuck album.

>>72070042
As a foundation, yeah. Discovery refines it into something that created an impact though, I would argue.

>>72070190
Underrated

>>72072037
Personal preference, I prefer Cross. Man, the French house boom that only lasted like two years that came from that album was badass.

>>72070527
>>72071940
Memes. Skrillex, Knife Party, and the big room house boom by W&W and friends created what we think of NOW as EDM.

>>72072257

Okay, no. Brostep is a subgenre of dubstep.

>>72072396
Mosiak drops in 6 weeks, man. I have a lot of hopes for this album. Sounds like they're going to use the really colorful atmosphere from Zeitgeist but more minimalistic drops.

>>72072537
Mosaik*

>>72072300
Martin Garrix, DVBBS, et al never became mainstream the same way Avicii did. Also, none of them ever produced an album of any note.

>>72072537
I honestly don't mind the minimal style the two have made. That entangled remix however was really odd, since it was going to flow, but kept breaking in and out. Aside from that, mosaik, hypnotic and hopefully the teddy killerz album will be great. 2017 has been a good for drum and bass, and I can't wait to see what will happen

>>72072563
To be fair though, those artists didn't go the path Avicii did. Levels was MASSIVE even for some older electronic fans, Avicii cashed in on the popularity boom and went full generic radio mainstream catching radio play.
I mean the dude practically made a country album and just like that, Wake Me Up was playing e v e r y w h e r e.

>>72072588
A lot of the old styles are finding new inspirations for their old roots, I'm really excited for what's to come.

You need to have more fun. As sad as it must be for you to admit, brostep is the standard now, and that isn't gonna change. For all intensive purposes, brostep IS dubstep.

>>72073368
I appriciate it. But keep em separate. They attract different crowds and the appeal of each is different, even if they're usually at the same tempo and have wobbly shit in.

>>72073394
Eh, but the people who listen to the actual original form of dubstep think it's Shit, yet it's relaxing

This album blew me away. I still really enjoy it a lot due to its diversity. Probably not as influential as Discovery, but damn this album really is the best swan song popular dubstep and EDM ever had.

>>72074109
It means people can easily make the music but the music is always catered to the low attention spans people have. Just listen to 90% of dance music coming out right now.

>>72070042
homework is indeed miles better than Discovery. Aren't they both basically House albums though? When was it decided that they're EDM

>>72074150
I guess, but its decent compared to SMNS. But it did have some good songs within that need more talk, like stranger

>>72074154
i know what you meant. what you're not seeing is how the general low attention span that you're claiming exists would also apply to the would-be artists who can't be assed to learn how to use fruity loops. 'too many people getting the tools' is not a problem if 'everyone has low attention spans' and can't stick with actually making shit

>>72074207
>claiming exists
It's fact. Plus like I said, producing is easier to get into than ever. I see nothing contradictory here.

>>72074225
where is this oversaturation of marketable dance music then, soundcloud? i hardly hear anything produced up to club quality on there, it's just hobbyists making beats. there's not as much as you think

>>72069974 (OP)
oh god, why am I here

>>72074270
Fuck are you on about?! Click literally any genre on soundcloud and you get shitty EDM and trap, even if you click jazz or classical.

>>72074305
Or nightcore. I see some decent stuff on SoundCloud, but guys like space laces still have lost tracks on their SoundCloud. Look at how the genre is now like fast food, as said by diselboy

i read somewhere that they apparently dont even know how to play instruments or write music, and had to whistle to professional musicians what they wanted played (or rather a really vague phrase and have the musicians develop upon it for them) during the making of RAM. i like the music but the 2 are nothing but a really elaborate marketing project.

>>72074770
I think that some do know how to play instruments but DP did have a knack for electronics, so I guess that converted to music production

>>72074770
Nah they're insanely good producers, even if what you say is true.

>>72074770
Wow what a euphoric comment. Are you one of those people that thinks live electronic acts "press play on their iPod"? Their music is sample based, theory is only lightly useful to the kind of music they make. Not to mention that theory isn't really necessary in the first place if you already have a rudimentary understanding of keys and chord progressions due to long periods of listening to music

DnB on /MU/?

>>72074908
for their time, back when remixing a song was "put a 4 on floor beat over a 4 note bassline under the acapella" then yes, they were more creative than any other regular electronic dance musicians, but their music is created by marketing and fame, not anything groundbreaking
>>72074931
lmao absolutely not, im more into electronic than any other music, if anything i consider jazz and classical to be pretentious and uncreative and all sound the same. i really respect the avalances and mad libs and dj shadow and whatnot, what they did was creative and sounded really good as well, but daft punk is just 2 already established djs who had the right connection

It's probably because dubstep just overshadowed the genre past 2011, and it barely gets any change. Plus it's been around for 20 years, but the time around 2005-2008 wasn't a great era minus vision, two BSE albums and a bunch of meh albums

Also, kids today hate the soulful cuts of drum and bass and some jump up. And I'm not even that old. I've been listening since noisia had their first song released, yet nobody likes the genre as much

>>72075061
because its not progressing at all, its all the same drum beat with the same bass with the same samples and synths. although half-time DnB is developing quite quickly, but thats more like trapstep at a slightly higher bpm

>>72075004
>>72075061

DnB is one of the biggest genres in the British isles.

>>72075096

completely fucking stupid statement

>>72075096
I'll say this.

It is developing and it still great. Listen to stuff like bensley and 2013 C&K. And there's also stuff like hybris and misanthrop making some really incredible drum and bass. Posij and bl4ck owlz being forward thinkers, and people like clipz and BC UK coming back means the genre is back in swing. Plus guys like etherwood. Rene lavice, klax, and billain creating so many unique songs. It's a genre in much change rather then dubstep

>>72075159
It has. I'm being serious. Look at how rapidly dubstep went up once UKF was in full swing with dubstep. It's a sad thing how guys like BSE, noisia, insideinfo, and phace all having these incredible things coming out this year, yet barely get noticed. Prolix is probably underrated yeh his sound is incredible. Asteroids is possibly the most underrated song that just destroys speakers, along with rockwells Detroit

The mainstream Brostep you describe is not dubstep Meanwhile DnB is huge.
Suppose it's different in America but America is pleb central when it comes to electronic music so who gives a flying fuck.

>>72075459
I still have a better taste then the plebs here who don't even know stuff like burial or benga exist. And even with that, brostep is a term I hate using unless it's for the right purpose. You don't hear terms like skullstep being tossed around. Also, America does have an issue with drum and bass

>>72075408
Dnb gets literally in the charts in UK. Dubstep was and still is nothing but a niche/fad. A clubnight/festival will either be DnB or House.

I honestly believe this so much

>>72075517
you are a good man and obviously things are different in different places

>>72075587
I wish that the genre was as popular as it is overseas, but because everyone here decides that the chainsmokers are better, it almost never get played on the radio. I mean, I'd kill for friction on the radio rather then nghtmre and slander. Also, I want to see Americans make drum and bass again.

>>72075517
You talk about DnB becoming overshadowed by dubstep while obviously talking about brostep while the artists you describe specifically went from doing brostep to DnB BECAUSE DnB is more popular.
You clearly are a massive pleb.

>>72075645
Dude. I don't even know any dubstep guys who do DnB often minus feed me/spor and ewun/KTN

DnB is a genre you have to be invested in from the start. It's very rare for a guy to switch over from dubstep to DnB unless you are reso and barbarix, and that's a very small amount of guys

>>72075708
BSE and Noisia.

Also no it's not rare at all.

>>72075948
Oh yeah. Forgot for a moment there. But BSE hasn't made dubstep since hyper sun, and noisias last "dubstep" track was something very much unique.
