Reply to Recommend me an upbeat Christmas album by fizzunk

Kaskade made a Christmas album that is real good, think house music Christmas.

Bad Religion also made a punk Christmas record but that's a bit far from the John Legend one

Also, the Temptations Christmas record is great and their rendition of Little Drummer Boy is a banger

>Avicii

Check out Eric Prydz. Less drops, but you may dig it. Absolutely listen to Zedd's album Clarity. It'll be right up your alley. Maybe Kaskade's album Fire & Ice. Galantis also

>David Guetta

Really depends on which era of Guetta you listen to. He has a legacy of being pretty important in house music towards the end of the 90s but when One Love dropped his whole sound changed.

>Rufus Du Sol

Bob Moses. Any album, but Battle Lines may be the right entry point for you. Lastlings, Gorgon City and NEIL FRANCES may also be up your alley. Also listen to Lane 8. Brightest Lights may be an album you'd like.

>Zhu

I highly recommend you check out this set he did for Cercle.

Some albums I think are fucking great that you should check out:

  • Disclosure - Settle
  • Ross From Friends - Tread
  • The Chemical Brothers - Surrender
  • Porter Robinson - Worlds and Nurture
  • Adriatique - Nude
  • Justice - all three of their albums
  • Feed Me - High Street Creeps

Some mixes/live sets:

Have fun!

Hardstyle is an evolution of a genre. It took me being into edm to really understand it. There's probably hundreds of EDM subgenres so don't trip if you don't connect with one or two of them. If you're interested in exploring the genre I'd be happy to throw some recs your way. What EDM are you into?

Reply to Spotify A&R Tech. Is A&R dead? by Fun_Mud_2100

No, it won't break any a&r jobs. Spotify will use this as a tool to load playlists and will probably make people in A&R positions lives a little easier. This tech will probably be able to be pulled using APIs or as an A&R subscription service for professionals.

Reply to Best concert experiences by Frostyscreen1010

Snoop & Dre in 2012 was an insane performance. I don't think there's any hip hop performance that can beat it, Tupac hologram had me trippin.

Chemical Brothers in 2019, just an unreal show from the props, to the live remixes to the visuals were all amazing.

Ratatat in 2015 put on a performance that I won't soon forget. Insane visual production and the festival crowd was great and all fans as there was a headliner playing at the same time.

Silverstein in 2015 for their Discovering The Waterfront 10 year anniversary show was fucking great. They and the openers Beartooth brought that house of blues down that night.

But the best show I've ever been to was The Used in 2016. It was the anniversary show for their album In Love And Death. There is nothing quite like being in a club with nothing but mega fans of a band and all screaming the lyrics at each other. I laughed, I cried, I got punched, I punched back, I moshed, I kissed and danced with my (now) wife. It was incredible. They closed with a 4 piece orchestral rendition of Bird Nad The Worm as an encore and it just blew me the fuck away. Nothing will top that feeling for me.
