Electronic Music is cool?
I really hope I don’t get attacked by any EDM heads. Just for reference. For the people who care about electronic music, I have never been quite the TRANCE person, but i love house music. I love heavy bass. I love dubstep. For me, and this is just for personal preference. Its lost that underground edge that it once had for me. And it hurts me to write this because I’m so happy that House music is being shared around the world. But seriously its kind of OVERKILL. Even for me, and I throw parties for a living. Its just OVERKILL.
Back then (2-3 years ago) massives were a big deal because some of the best DJS would show up. I’m talking about never being able to see LAIDBACK LUKE EVER, and when he showed up at NOCTURNAL, everybody who heard about him had to go to NOCTURNAL, cuz they weren’t sure if he would show up again. When Banana Splits SUnday at LAX was being runned by AOKI & DJ AM, and you knew that if some HUGE DJ was making a stop by Los Angeles, he was going to stop by to do a quick intimiate set at LAX. And that was the cool factor of it! If you were a house head you had to really dig and figure out where your next favorite dj was playing at and you HAD TO CATCH IT or else you wouldn’t see him/them for a while.
Now, You can catch ANY of these headlining DJS in VEGAS/SD/LA ( I mean Deadmau5 is now a resident dj at VEGAS!) And I hate to say that its a negative thing because it should never be when a DUDE is GETTING PAPER for doing what he loves.
I’m not saying I hate it, it just sucks.
And this isn’t a complaint, this is just me making a statement.
But I got to experience it. It was cool.
- My hardhalloween 09 experience where I got to see Deadmau5 for the first time. I got to see ATRAK my favorite DJ perform for the first time. BloodyBeetroots blew my socks off.
- Hard Summer 09 where the whole massive got shut down, and swat police came out.
- When we saw Kid Cudi blew a gasket at Cinespace because everybody wanted to hear “DAY&NIGHT”
- Watching Lady Gaga perform at LAX doing JUST DANCE before anybody knew who she was.
- The Last Los Angeles EDC where i saw LIL JON, MC a RAVE. lol.
Maybe I’ve seen all the DJs that I’ve wanted to see already (I haven’t seen Tiesto yet.).
I just dont feel that hype that I once felt before, but don’t second guess and say i won’t rock my face off when I hear some dope edm. But will I go out of my way to see somebody? Not likely.
Unless its Daftpunk.
Thats another story.
Thats anticipation.
God, do I sound like one of those cynical people.
FUN FACT :
Check below for the video that got me hooked into Electronic Music. I remember it was 2008, and my friends Daisy & Jenn had just got back from there, and they were so HYPED about DEADMAU5. This was when Deadmau5 barely came out w/ GhostNStuff. He probably had 50,000 views on this. This video made me want to go to Hard Mansion.
