Is EDM Starting to Grow Again? Don't get me wrong. I have never stopped but it seems like there are a lot of younger kids getting into EDM. Unlike anything in the past. It seems like it is growing quickly right now. On another note, check out my Classics Mix:

Re: Is EDM Starting to Grow Again?
A lot of the people I meet on the dancefloor are young guys !! I love their attitudes to the music. !! :D
Re: Is EDM Starting to Grow Again?
I think it's us who're older :what:lol:
Re: Is EDM Starting to Grow Again?
No they are definitely young :lol: One of the guys I talk to at most events, who has an amazing knowledge is 21 , another 24 . :D I think it's great !! :D
Re: Is EDM Starting to Grow Again?
What's wrong with being 23 and having a passion and drive for good music?

Re: Is EDM Starting to Grow Again?
I didn't know EDM died out. I go through my phases of music but I always come back.
Re: Is EDM Starting to Grow Again?
It's nice that young people are into dance music, I just don't want to hang out with them. :p

Re: Is EDM Starting to Grow Again?
i feel like EDM and pop mashups have really started to catch on with the younger generations in the US. it sucks something high and mighty! when i said it'd be nice to see EDM get more attention, i didn't mean to the likes of Usher or J-Lo. :lol:
Re: Is EDM Starting to Grow Again?
You guys can thank Deadmous and skrillex for the growth...and tiesto probably. :lol:

Re: Is EDM Starting to Grow Again?
Judging by the responses, I think EDM is [I]marketed [/I]for the modern hipster who likes a blend of pop/rap stars and random dance-happy music clips on a penthouse somewhere in Ibiza (they can dream can't they?). EDM is a serious business these days, gone is the cliché of the rock star; sex,drugs, and rock n' roll. Today we see the DJ, the crowd controller who can make some serious coin and be showered by amazing women, ultimately this the lure and not a bad career if you make it, and needless to say it produces some pretty shite music for those out there just for this.
Good music will always live on, just take a listen to Transitions or Hernan's show and without fail I hear some blinder of a tune and think house has never sounded better; the production and delivery is amazing, whatever sub-genre it falls into.
I honestly think the about to be retired greats e.g. Digweed, [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=5"]Sasha[/url] etc. should make way for the future stars on the mixers.But then again how could you live up to a names like these?
So yes EDM is growing, but reluctant to say [I]commercially [/I]growing.
Re: Is EDM Starting to Grow Again?
^^^ Well said!! Except for the retiring Djs . If they are still playing great music we certainly don't want them to retire, let the younger ones fight it out :lol: There is plenty of room for all !! :D
Re: Is EDM Starting to Grow Again?
I'm tipsy, but: god help me when Digweed finally calls it a day.
Re: Is EDM Starting to Grow Again?
The man's hitting mid 40's. You'd assume a few more years and maybe hang up the headphones? But it will be a sad day.
:(
Re: Is EDM Starting to Grow Again?
They all say as long as they enjoy it, and if anything they keep getting better. !! :D
Re: Is EDM Starting to Grow Again?
Great responses. So who checked out my mix in the first post?

I am noticing this here as well....I think the mashups are a good introduction to dance music (although, not what I would like to see representing edm as well). Hopefully it gets them interested and their tastes evolve towards the good stuff!
Re: Is EDM Starting to Grow Again?
