Like Lisa Pinup.
just because someone has spent hours making sure they have editied their breakbeat slightly different every bar to "impress" people doesnt make it more complex or superior than other music. Creativity is complex, brains are chaotic and complex, therefore most music is pretty complex.
There have been plenty of great female electronic producers tho, but probably the biggest reason there is such a difference in gender balance of muscians in electronic music is because its not as socially acceptable. I know hardly any girls that have downloaded some software and had a play about with it, even if they love electronic music, most blokes I know have had atleast had a mess about with some music software. However I know plenty of girls who have learnt to play an instrument at some point.
I'm just wondering why you're attributing so much complexity to this 'jump up dnb'. The drums are quite fast, which could give the impression of complexity. But personally I hear the same aspects as in many other genres of electronic dance music and even pop music.
In that last track you posted, I hear a drum beat, a bassline, a repeated vocal sample and some eery sounding ambient synths every now and then. The track repeatedly alternates between about two or three different drum beats for the duration of the track. I don't see these changes as making the track "complex" though.
In regards to complexity, you could have as much going on as you want in a track; that doesn't mean it's going to sound musical or pleasant. So there's only a certain amount of stuff that you can have going on in a track. You could also have lots of changes in the track, but once again, there's only so many changes you can have in a track before you confuse the listener, or make it sound un-progressive, or defeat the purpose of it being a single track.
Also, more males than females making music in the genre may have something to do with the aggressiveness of the music, or perhaps the aggressiveness of the scene itself. A comparison could be drawn to heavy metal; which I know definitely has female fans, but it seems to have a lot of males making the music (I wouldn't know though, I don't listen to metal).
I don't disagree with your sentiments in making the thread though. It is an interesting topic. I do believe there generally are differences in male and female brains. The only problem though, is that there are always exceptions to the rule. For instance, there are females who have male-style interests and pursue commonly male-dominated professions (like IT, engineering, maths, or rocket science.) So one would think that there would certainly be females who can appreciate and make 'jump up dnb'. I mean, it's not rocket science bro.![]()
this thread is retarded and DOB is an asshole
The thing with DNB, as cool as that beat is, it's just basically James Brown's Funky Drummer sped up. Once the first person did it the rest of the producers doing it weren't any more creative than that.
JoJo Mayer did something awesome by actually learning how to play those beats, now HE'S doing something a zillion times harder than any producer, male or female.
You're saying you can't date someone who doesn't like DnB?

BTW Noisia "The Tide" was a fucking AWESOME track. +1
2 it dont makes it superior,becose that comes to personal taste but on grand scale the dnb is most complex,hardest edm genre to produce
why is this retarded and why I am asshole?
if you are women,then I let me tell you I like women,I think they are so much better than men in so many things but this one single small area,the dnb is interesting becose how extreme sausage fest it is,I just want to hear your opinions about this
Because women are socialized differently than men are. Western culture strongly sends a message that women are inferior to men when it comes to technical things like producing electronic music. It's the same reason why people think of nursing as a women's job, and machining as a man's job. Because there is this unspoken assumption in Western society, that men are better at those kinds of things. Many people internalize that belief when growing up, and act accordingly.While the original post is pretty sexist in some parts, the overall point being brought up is valid: why is it that women are so underrepresented, artistically, in electronic music?
