I saw these guys at EDC and they melted my face clean off. I think I am officially now a PLUR for life Candy raver. Clown on me all you like, that shit was incredible. But how does soulstrut feel? Im wondering these days. Are we still talking about Drake and Eminem?

    All I've heard is "One." Sh*t is DOPE! I'm not mad at the Pharrell version either. What do you recommend, Bsides?

    Funny you mention EDC. I played a house set at my friend's weekly tonight. I played the song below and a dude came up to me and said that he loved that song. He said he heard it played about 3 times at EDC, then looked at me in disbelief when I asked what EDC was.

    EDC = ?

    PLUR = ?



    Was too young for this, but got switched on by dodgy cassette field-recordings from a friend's older brother and The Prodigy.


    Still gives me bumps.

    I can't lie, it reminds me of the Mortal Kombat techno remix.

    I recommend checking out their EDC live set. The whole mp3 is posted there. I like One a lot too......not as much some people though. The girl I went to EDC with kept telling me how great they were, but still I was pretty shocked!

    EDC was totally insane. 180,000 ravers descend on the ghetto in Los Angeles. There were all types of kids there, they mash in pretty much all types of music into a throbbing house beat. Im not even sure how many stages, but Ive never seen anything like it.



    Deadmau5 was also fucking awesome.

    The kids, they love the drugs, and they love the techno and that shit was epic!

    haha yeah that song is dope, heard it a few times there! EDC stands for the Electric Daisy Carnival, which is a massively fruity cheese raver name and that is exactly the point. Its been going on for 14 years now and to be honest, i just heard about this year when I started hanging out with all these house music guys (well, okay, mostly girls).

    This year it got so big that they did it at L.A. memorial Colosseum. It still kind of surprises me how something so huge can still be even remotely underground, but it kind of is, and thats kind of awesome!

    Deadmau5 is the shit.

    Still waiting to see how long it will take for all the eurodance to take over the east/south.

    Kaskade and Deadmau5 are pretty much killing the game right now

    wish Osborne was more prolific

    this edit is pretty fucking wack, but the original is one of my favorite songs of the year for sure.

    Who is Osborne? Really not all that sold on Kaskade yet. Hes good I guess,....but not THAT good.

    Deadmau5 wins on the fact of his l.e.d. cube and mouse mask alone. His zelda heart and space invaders neck tattoo is also pretty committed!

    All im gonna say is watch for alot of these guys to blow up on radio rap records the same way guetta did this year. Specifically the swedish house mafia dudes. Deadmau5 would never go for it, but hes gonna at least get sampled anyway. ...

    Does Timbaland count?



    Not rap, but Kelis Acapella sounds like a 90s UK chart hit. Looked at the LP credits, and David Gueta features heavily. Heard 4th of July on tv last night, and (to me) it's biting Dubstep, and particularly Floating Points, hard.

    you guys really like that yolanda be cool shit ? It sound horrible to me. Annoying as fusk

  • BeatnicholasBeatnicholas 1,005 Posts
    call me disconnected but is someone really mentioning Todd Osborne in the same breath as Deadmau5 and Swedish House Mafia? Maybe theres a poprave osborne i don't know. Personally I think the Deadmau5 and Swedish House Mafia school of production is a couple of rave stabs from being 2unlimited or some similarly terrible rave music. Except 2unlimited were better. Guetta makes my throat fill with bile. I reckon even if you like your dance music extremely watered down you could do better than these!

  • BsidesBsides 4,244 Posts
    Dunno who Todd Osborne is still...

    But i dont think the point is shying away from cheesy 90's rave stabs!


    BTW that kelis song is sick! Im not a fan of everything he does, but david guetta does some hot shit!

    and no, timbaland doesnt really count.

    Has she given up on the US RnB market then? Production credits and what I've heard is UK/Euro dance music.

    the point is definitely not about shying away from rave stabs. But there is a big difference between rave stabs a la Manix (brilliant) and rave stabs a la 3 swedish dudes making a half arsed hard house beat, and then chopping 2 seconds of Robin S "Show Me Love" over the top and calling it a song (shit music for 8 year olds).

    The Kelis song, whilst not quite as bile inducing as some of Guetta's truly abhorrent work, is trash compared to the likes of Kaleidoscope (yes i am an asshurt fan of hers).

    Europe's always been kinder to Kelis, and I guess now she's finally decided to take the plunge and embrace a more stylistically Euro sound.

    Guetta's stuff does nothing for me - some of it's hideous, in fact - but if you took the vocals off that Kelis track and told people it was a lost Speedy J tune from '93, I'll bet none but the super-nerdy would dispute it.

    That SHM tune isn't bad. What passes for house music nowadays is a very different beast to the stuff I used to listen to, but if I found myself in a club or a bar where they were jamming stuff like that, I wouldn't sup up and leave. At least, not right away.

    Who is Osborne?

    http://ghostly.com/artists/osborne

    not really in the same category/discussion as Kaskade and Deadmau5 but filed under "house I actually like"
    maybe more like Moodymann, etc

    what is this thread actually about??

    why are you talking SHM, Deadmau5 and Guetta and then posting floating points tracks.

    I feel like i'm missing out on a joke here.

    Ha ha, exactly, this is one of the strangest threads I've read in years. SHM sounds like every other novelty eurodance track that clog up the UK charts at the end of every summer. House music? Wha'?

    Doop anyone?
