You don't like Alone or Sound of the Drums?

Yeah it's disappointing. A little too much singing for my taste and not enough beats

That's what the remix album is for. I feel like every artist album is boring and or underwhelming. Above & Beyond's Group Therapy, Tritonal, Markus Schulz etc etc. The remixes are what make them awesome.

Intense on the other hand, has some good, enjoyable singles already.

I feel like EDM is just hitting its mainstream stride. You turn on MTV here and you have a better than 50% chance of seeing something by David Guetta, Cazzette, or Avicii. Festivals are getting bigger and bigger and EDM songs are crossing over into pop and hip hop. I honestly don't see it going away anytime soon.
Click to expand...

I feel the same way. That's why I really only stick with my ten or so favorite artists because I know they will stay true to what EDM was in a way. I'm not saying that it's bad that it's going mainstream, and that I want it to stay unnoticed, but I'm saying that the shift towards mainstream is in a way ruining the creativity of artists and the music they put out.

On a side note: I have found an appreciation for Avicii's ultra set. He's trying to do something different than other EDM artists out there and it didn't sit well with many people.
What's the general consensus on Avicii's ultra set here?

I was there, and I thought his set was awful. The live instruments and singing just didn't mesh well with the DJing, and the acoustics or mixing or something was very off. Not sure what it was.

However, I really like the 2013 promo mix he put out, which has a lot of the same songs, just mastered and studio quality.

I don't think his new content was appropriate to play at ultra. It definitely got people to acknowledge that his new music is different than his older stuff though. What were people's reactions to it live?
I do find listening to the promo mix with his new music enjoyable though.

Did you need MOAR EPIC DROPZZ?!!?!

Group Therapy is one of my all-time favorite albums. It's my go-to album to play when I'm outside with great weather and the sun is shining. Songs like Alchemy, Thing Called Love, and Only A Few Things are just amazing for putting you in an emotional trance.

Nah it wasn't the drops, I just didn't enjoy the beats so much. Plus I'm not a huuuge fan of Zoe's voice. Tri-State was better.

Wow what a lineup. Not bad...Bryan Kearney :O

Dammit, now I'm really sad I'm not going to EDC Vegas this year. It was so much fun last year, but the logistics just didn't work out. Maybe next year...

Out of curiosity, how much did it cost for you to go? I go to school in CA so
I want to know how much money I should save up. I would just be driving to LV with some friends. I hope to go next year.

The flight was the most expensive I think. Lemme see if I can dig up my old emails...

Hotel: $150 (they gave us a free day since it took us 3 hours to check on Friday...their computers went down just as 100,000 people arrived in Vegas for EDC...)

Flight: $540

EDC ticket: $240 + $80 shuttle pass = $320

So all in I paid $1,100. Kind of expensive for a three day trip, which is why I didn't do it this year. I probably could have afforded it, but a bunch of friends and I are going to Mykonos for 10 days in the summer so I figured I would save my money for that instead.

listening Armin's new album 'Intense'

the first half, not so much. But really like the second half of the album.

'last stop before heaven' & 'love never came' are killer tunes for me.

Tickets are like 300ish. Depending on how many friends you go with, hotel costs about 100 each. Gas is like 30 per person with a packed car.

Then you have the cost of food over the weekend, and of course at least 1 buffet which is like 40-50$. Estimated cost is probably 500-600.

Back in 2011 when you didn't have to go all 3 days it was much cheaper. Bastard insomniac.

My apologies if this has been covered in the thread already, but when did they start calling it 'EDM'? It's always been just 'dance' music to me unless they started getting more specific (house, trance, etc.). While I'm not in the scene I know a few people who are and I've literally first heard the term 'EDM' this year...

This year its costing me-

(leaving from CA)

-$600 for 2 EDC 3 day tickets
-$175 for 2 shuttle passes
-$1100 for 2 plane tickets and 4 nights hotel

Plus bringing around $1000-2000 for food/drinks/spending money

So about $2800-4k with everything for 2 people


You can make that much cheaper if you drive, stay a cheap hotel/motel, and don't eat out or stop at Vegas bars/clubs(Super expensive drinks)

I've personally been familiar with the term since maybe around 2000, though it wasn't being bandied about nearly as much then as it is now.

Not too bad considering what prices are for other festivals. Thanks for the info. I already have like 200 bucks saved so I will definitely have enough by next year.

You still need a separate external sound card right (for headphone cue'ing)? Folks at the other Electronic thread recommended me it as well, but I still haven't bought a digital controller.l. I've searched the internet a little bit but it seems the entry level sound cards are at least around $75. That combined with the controller itself, I find it a little bit expensive, I'm temped to pick up the Behringer BCD3000. It's only for bedroom practice.

So I'm flying to the Bay Area right now for a few days (work) and I see that Armin van Buuren is playing in Oakland tonight!! Can't book tickets on my phone but anyone know if its sold out? Land at SFO at 3pm, so maybe dump my crap at the hotel then head to Oakland and see. It's not going to be a stupid late one (e.g. 3am start for AvB) as I have to work at 8?
