RE: 23 Things I've Figured Out By The Age Of 23
Great takeaways and life ponderings, definitely relate and reflect with some of them. Love 4, 6, 8, 11, 12, 16. Thank you for sharing, prettydecent! Lovely stuff.
Thank you, @deeptechhouse! Sorry about 15 :p Really appreciate you reading it!
Nothing to be sorry about, I quite share your views :P
Not a fan of EDM either, I love good House and Techno music and I don't know if I'd personally call what I love to share and mix EDM, that word means something else to me.
In fact could it be that I can change your views on electronic music? :) If not, all good, any music that makes people happy is good music, so I never judge people's music preferences ♥️
I'm down for some referrals! Sorry if I mixed them up -- I really know nothing about the genre. :) I like Flume-y, glittery music. I just have bad experiences with live electronic music -- it makes me anxious :(
I thought Flume was very much so considered EDM 🤔 See, that's what I mean, this whole label thing is no good 🤣 But yea, if you like Flume, then probably I can't give much recommendation, I am into more of an opposite of glittery music heh. But I just meant check out some of the Tune of the Day posts on my blog, pretty subjective of course, but I like to think I have a decent nose for some good electronic stuff.
But now I am curious, maybe you could throw a couple of names into my hat, I like expanding my horizons!
Hahaha yes, but he is like my threshold of EDM that my ears can take -- lots of lyrics. I think what happens is when I can feel the artist manipulating my energy up and down through drops, I get overwhelmed. At least at live shows. Flume never really drops that hard so I can take it, plus it's glittery lol! I will check out your posts, though.
As for my taste, I mostly listen to rap. I really liked Vince Staples' album Big Fish, which had some beautiful production! I also listen to a lot of J Dilla which is nearly all instrumental. :)
J Dilla is amazing, as a producer, I respect him immensely for the kind of stuff he did and the amount of passion he put into music. Truest inspiration! I will check out Vince Staples' stuff as you definitely have an eclectic taste in music.
The electronic music I personally love is more of a deeper, darker kind perhaps, more mellow and introspective, less of a "in-your-face" sound design, but more minimal and atmospheric, or in case of Techno just raw and hypnotic :) So I often suggest people give a more traditional house and techno a try if they got into electronic music via festival EDM :)
