(This is just a picture I drew of me and my friends playing music in their apartment. If ever we recorded a CD together, I would want this to be the album art.)
HOWDY! LONG TIME NO SEE!
Since I was made contributor, I have only made one post: the post to tell you all I was made contributor, which I still am. Work has been a very large priority lately, and I picked up a whole heck of a lot more hours than what I'm used to. As such, this place has taken a backseat for the time being.
I finally decided to take time out of everything else, and begin writing one out for you all. However, that will have to be saved for a later date, as I am still working out the details of all I want to go over. So, until the time when that is ready I'm going to leave you with this little gem:
MY TOP FIVE EDM SONGS
(Rather original, eh? )
This list has no rhyme or reason to it. It is solely MY personal favorites, what I consider to be the best dance/electronic songs out there; songs I think everyone should like, even if you aren't into that kind of thing, or are looking for songs that may get you into the genre.
(Even though this is listed as Foreign Beggars, I'm posting it as a song by Skrillex)
This was one of the first dubstep songs I had listened to, and actually liked. At this time I was in high school, and my friends and I all shared similar tastes in music, but we always made fun of From First to Last, in particular, their song "Emily". Knowing they had broken up, I looked them up on Wikipedia one night, and saw that the lead singer had went solo, doing something completely different. Listening to some of his stuff at the time I was not too impressed, so I let it sit for a while. Then I came back, heard this song, and instantly my mind was changed.

Another song from when I first started listening to electronic music, I remember when I heard this for the first time. I instantly downloaded it off of the Zune marketplace (RIP in Peace), and would play it every time I drove anywhere in town. Did it matter it was a 10 minute song with a 5 minute build-up?
OF COURSE NOT.
I would load my friends up in my PT Cruiser, turn my bass up on my car stereo to +9, and cruiser drive all the way to Taco Bell in style.
This is a more recent release, being part of a compilation album put together by the record label Monstercat. I don't know much about this artist, but I can say I eagerly await his next single, because this track is extremely well put together and produced.
This group reminds me a lot of Skrillex in the way their tracks are so raw, and exciting. If I had to compare dubstep to a more traditional music genre, it would have to be either Post-Hardcore, or even plain Hardcore. This track is very similar to my number five pick, so if you enjoyed that, you may very well enjoy this one also.
HONORABLE MENTIONS
(These tracks are really good, but they aren't quite my favorite)
- "Jelly Castle" - MDK (Check out his bandcamp page here)
- "Earthsphere" - Astronaut (Check out their Soundcloud page here)
- "Cloud Nine" - Grant Bowtie (Check out his Soundcloud page here)
- "Changes" - Eminence & RedMoon (Check out Eminence's Soundcloud page here,)
- "Leave" - Diamond Eyes (Check out his Soundcloud page here)
#1. "Quantum" (Virtual Riot remix) - Astronaut
(Check out Virtual Riot's Soundcloud page here)
The original version of this song is good, by all means. It is very well done, well produced, and overall a track that I thoroughly enjoy. Astronaut does a thing where they take a popular track they put out, and have other artists remix it, allowing the fans to choose the best. The voted upon tracks are put onto a CD for all to enjoy. This happened to be one of those remixes.
When I first heard this track, I thought it felt rather lack-luster. The original is a very fast-paced, and exciting tune, comparable to a pop-punk track. The remix starts out at a slower pace, but retains all the intensity of the original. Then, suddenly, a heavy synth with remixed lyrics, and a rock drum beat lead into one of the heaviest drops I've heard (it sends chills down my spine every time.) After another chorus, you are lead into a bridge with a more melodic tune behind it; Softer drums, less synth, but more sub-bass tones. If you have the ability, turn your bass up as much as you can.
This track is a very solid remix, and commands respect. Even though Astronaut created the original track I give props to Virtual Riot for taking it, and making it unique.
