Whos your favorite EDM artist?

Bassnectar, even though i enjoy the trap scene more (and i dont consider bassnectar to be trap)
 
EDM doesn't even make sense as a blanket label. Dance music was its own genre in the 90s.

Skrillex is someone that I think is great at marketing himself as a brand.

...shit producer.

Yes, that is my subjective opinion.
 
edm seems to have such a negative connotation. it's a useful general term - when people use it, i know they're not talking about dave matthews band :)

is it electronic? yes. is it music? yes. can i dance to it? yes. then it's edm.

i mostly listen to psytrance and love so many acts it's hard to choose. but in terms of whole-catalog artists, my favourites are underworld and the chemical brothers.

Its the strangest thing that occurs in threads like this. I love classification as much as the next guy and sure when i am strictly talking about one producer I break down the music into sub types but like my God its worse then biologists trying to classify a new species when it comes to breaking apart electronic music. There needs to be a basic term that applies to all types of "electronic music that one dances (or drools incoherently) to" and I think EDM is short and easy enough that i use it.

Tipper is my favorite "producer of music that is created by digital synthesis of sounds rather then an musical instrument that relies on human muscle movement to create the sound." ;)
 
It's a big tent, but kids these days and their wobwob wobble ummmmmm


DJ Shiva is still spinning I hope.

I still have a set of her interpretations of Dubstep in regular rotation. That set is easily 5/6 years old now!

I don't need drink tickets to show up to things like that.
