Another interesting POV from a Legend
Another interesting POV from a Legend Posted on: 01.05.2013 by Antonetta Wikel PS: MODS, how do I increase image size? PSS: Thanks Jester, obviously I don't need it any larger. | |
| Lillia Datson 02.05.2013 | For a man who obviously has a lot of talent in producing, he hasn't done a lot to change anything within 'EDM' or whatever genre its labelled as. He even states he started making more popular tunes to get out there in the interview, but then moans that its all the same. Why doesn't he take his producing skills and be the man to put a foot in another direction instead of relying on someone else to do it? |

| Nga Mcquarter 02.05.2013 | IMO the problem is on the new people. Most of the new producers say, I wanna sound like X or I wanna have a song that reminds to X or I want to have the same synths as X. I believe things will start to change when everyone starts to understand that it's about your own style, not the one you'll get paid for. However, this is gonna take too long. And btw I gotta say something about this Daft Punk album: "It's not EDM, but it's more like real music you can dance to". |

| Hank Guidas 02.05.2013 | Dj Sneak just went after Seth Toxler, calling him a ketamine dj or something lol |
| Lynda Guerrieri 02.05.2013 | I can't fault producers like Wolfgang Gartner or DJ Sneak for speaking out. Every time a music scene is co-opted and watered down into a million dollar industry on the backs of underground movements that are receiving only the most marginal of "trickle down" residual benefits, it can conjure a really difficult to unravel mix of emotions. However, maybe I'm not as familiar with Gartner as I should be, and I do like some of his tracks, but isn't his music the kind of "big room" acidy bass genre-mash electro house that he's talking about in his own quote? Also, while I fancy myself an ultra-PC anti-capitalist who shudders at the effect of the culture industry, at the end of the day what aggravates me about calling a lot of this kind of music "dance" music, is that I rarely see people dancing to it. Otherwise, I try not to fault people for liking what they like. Only so many hours of the day and so many priorities. |
| Marshall Aby 02.05.2013 | It'd be a shame if people just mouthed vacant platitudes when asked questions about their profession. But I guess that if you can put on a decent party then you needn't worry too much about other parties that other people are having. |

You're waiting for something to happen so that you can interact with your mates, when really, you should be constantly interacting with your mates, and only being momentarily disturbed to turn and show the DJ a little appreciation. I loved the old way. I don't like the new way. |
| Leeanna Ayla 02.05.2013 | I must have forgotten that period in time when all EDM was good. Although I do agree with the whole mashing of genres thing to play to the blind hoard. It's that blind hoard that's at fault though, not the producers who still produce what they love to make, not what the love to get paid for. Me personally I miss the times when techno was edm and only gay men liked disco. |
| Kristofer Krauel 02.05.2013 | Yes sir, you who have influence and longevity in the music seen mustn't have an opinion...... only digital music community
members are allowed one!! I agree with Wolfgang but I cant help but believe that whilst his sound is nothing like the sounds he is talking about, he is yet to produce a track that doesn't sound exactly like his last record! |

I hate it when any music producer claims to have an infinite knowledge of the genre and then make a general bullshit opinion based off the little knowledge they really have. I also love this stigma that is currently in the air, believeing that Daft Punk is actually going to 'change' something........... LOL! Wolfgang, you're paid for your music, not your opinion. |
| Cinderella Donjon 02.05.2013 | i'm sorry, i agree with the whole 'progressive' 'trance' bullcrap coming out. but there is just so much more to edm than that. And to be honest, who cares? Let the poppy, mainstream dancecrapsters have there thing and let the rest of us do theirs. Plus I see a lot of big non poppyhouse-parties lately, namely with techno. |

| Margie Pavell 01.05.2013 | While I agree that current pop EDM is a monstrosity, I can't help but wonder why so many people believe electronic music is sacred. I don't buy/listen to the radio. Why should I let it bother me? The FM presets aren't even set in my car. House music and warehouse parties still happen all the time... |
