Waaay xpost here...I didn't think this thread was worth reading cause I've been over Deadmau5 for a long time but I'm bored and here I am.

i can see bassnectar being "all lcd" if you never regularly listened because you think he's all brostep and whatnot (and maybe he is all that now) but pre-that he was great funk + breakbeat party along the lines of the bassbin twins.

I can remember trying to point this out here a long time ago, before I was fully aware of Bassnectar's recent crappiness, and being hated for saying it. I don't know about his mixes or anything but the Yoga Tai Chi Parties at Cellspace were quite alright. Scoff if you must, but I'm pretty sure there was Chai tea there as well.

Yeah, I suppose we can lock thread. If I knew it was all about being knuckle deep, I needn't have asked in the first place.

ATTN @Borgore fans- A good lot of you have been harassing our female employees; please refrain from this or you too will be banned

Had to look up what a hell a Borgore was and thus I laugh:

Borgore stated in an interview that his stage-name is a mixture of both his birth surname Borger, and the word "gore". Thus making Borgore.

He had a tune called Faxing Berlin a few years back which I really liked. It's not like he's that unknown - been all over Mixmag and things for months and months.

no one said he's unknown. i mean, read the thread title.

On a related note, where were the sweet electro-rave dance parties when we were that young?

How old is this writer?

deadmau5 is really mad at madonna for naming her new album MDNA

https://www.facebook.com/deadmau5

seriously, i giveth not a fucking single FUCK for slating on madonna for reaching an entirely NEW level of idiocy ... i can appriciate her meteoric career, and all good deeds done, but WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT? That's your big contribution to EDM? Thats your big message to ultra attendies? hipsterspeak for looking for drugs? fuck off you fucking IDIOT. fuck.

yeah, i really kinda leeeeeeeeroy jenkins'd that shit huh... MDNA / Molly / MDMA / whatever .. something about a track? still seems the same to me, coz its still, in my opinion, unecciscary promotion of the shit that really held EDM down for years.

Now, weve taken EDM so far in the past decade, so goddamned far. It really hurts me to see rampant ADVOCATION of extreme bullshit lifestyles to a genre that spans pretty much any age gap these days. Of course, ill always have my opinions about this or that… and yeah, its my personal choice not to do drugs, but im not on a fucking crusade to stamp out other peoples personal choices by no means. fuck being a crusader. Im not pro, or anti drug… but… ill easily let you know that im pro-responsibility.

Why is everyone calling it EDM all I a sudden?

it is quite a challop to claim that ecstasy has been an obstacle to the popularity of electronic dance music

i could say a lot of shitty things about Madonna, but one thing she's never done is walk around with a big mouse head on her head.

Jamie_ATP, Monday, 26 March 2012 16:32 (1 year ago) Permalink

it used to be that DJs got mad at madonna for stealing voguing

'Eezer Good! Eezer Good!' vs 'Im not pro, or anti drug… but… ill easily let you know that im pro-responsibility.'

no wonder it's taking so long for the US to embrace dance music.
