Me during sex: hurt me
Her: you will never achieve a perfect mixdown
Me: what
Her: there will always be a greater and unreachable tier of quality - your search for perfection will ultimately lead to your demise as you prioritize technical facets over the music itself
Me: stop
I have been commenting “flume” on every single one of flume’s IG posts for the entire year and I’m proud to announce that today he has replied with his own “flume”
Always makes me sick to see DJs on stage playing real instruments. The “E” in EDM stands for ELECTRONIC. Get your wood, strings, and sticks out of my genre.
what’s crazy about going to festivals is you will meet the most beautiful girl in the world 10/10 outfit and she goes “let me introduce you to my boyfriend” and he’s just a bug that DJs and is wearing a shirt that says “i just pooped my pants”
If you’re an opener and not sure what to play for a big show, deep dive onto YouTube, SoundCloud, anywhere and download rips of the headliners unreleased. Nothing will impress them more than seeing an upcoming DJ who has done their research!
Shoutout all the girlfriends who have to deal with the lives of their DJ boyfriends. Hours of practice, working long nights, listening the same song he’s making over and over, getting cheated on while he’s on tour, crazy hours, etc.
A lot of people talking about how Drakes album will introduce more people to EDM, but you’re forgetting about drake himself. If we keep pushing him down the rabbit hole in about 2 or 3 albums time we can have an entire project produced by Eprom with a Phonon feature
Yesterday at this bar an 8 year old went up to my girlfriend and asked her if she “wanted to go on a date with him” and then said “I love you” before he dipped out. I can’t stop thinking about it because I could obviously wreck his shit. He also doesn’t know anything about serum
I’ve been working with this movie studio that needs an EDM track for a scene and they asked if I had any “disgusting bangers,” so I send a bunch of unused demos. They hit me back “too dubsteppy, looking for something like this” and then sent me a 2013 Melbourne bounce record
house artist tweeting after show: wow my heart is so full thank you all for showing so much love and energy I felt us all connecting spirits together as one in that venue
dubstep artist tweeting after show: denver you just got fucked in the ass
Did you guys know that at the end of every festival all the DJs are separated by genre and we all have to get in a line and walk past the other DJs to high-five them and say “good game”
If you celebrated “420” yesterday and are trying to have a career in music, there is no room for you in this industry. Your chances of making it are just like your pot: up in flames.
The FBI just announced that they completed a raid on the guy who stole Skrillex’s laptop in 2011. They apparently also seized 3 USBs with a “half finished Daft Punk album and a Diplo tearout EP”
It’s so crazy to me to see these opening DJs disrespect the flow of the night by playing straight bangers. Don’t you have any idea that going that hard might cause the headliner to have to call his mommy or even worse they have to send a wambulance to the venue
I have noticed that, although my twitter has 13,385 followers, I am not receiving 13,385 likes on my tweets. I am not sure if this is being done intentionally or if my “friends” are forgetting to “like” my tweets. Either way, I’ve had enough.
I think it’s really dope when you can hear a track and instantly know who produced it
Eptic’s signature redux sounds and builds
Subtronics’ whompy growls
Marauda’s screamers and machine guns
Kompany’s unlistenable mixdowns
go ahead. use that sample without changing it. it sounds good as is. but just know that somewhere out there a 15 year old kid who has been producing for 9 months will make a discord comment about it.
Hey guys! Just got back from a 6 month long social media break. Wrote a ton of tunes and I’m excited to send them to my favorite label Never Say Die. The lead single is a song called Laserbeam! Love that name.
the reason DJs have long epic intros isn’t because we want to create a big moment or a lot of hype it’s because we have to spend the first two minutes figuring out what the fuck is going on with all the equipment on stage
I have noticed that, although my twitter has 8,042 followers, I am not receiving 8,042 likes on my tweets. I am not sure if this is being done intentionally or if my “friends” are forgetting to “like” my tweets. Either way, I’ve had enough.
if you were in the crowd at Lost Lands (or any crowd really) and you make music too, I PROMISE as far away as it seems to be playing those stages - it’s not .All it takes is time, dedication, and also selling your soul to the devil for untold riches by promoting a satanic agenda
i never understood people getting upset or elitist over genres. at the end of the day there’s no difference between bass and house music producers besides the fact that bass music producers can easily make house but house producers simply cannot for their life make bass music
if an artist doesn’t come play a show near you it’s not because they have anything against your city it’s because they personally don’t like you in particular
2 minutes into a Virtual Riot ableton video: oh wow that’s a cool technique that i had never previously considered
15 minutes into a Virtual Riot ableton video: what the fuck is going on
You’re actually a great producer - you just need to work on mixing, mastering, arrangement, sound selection, sound design, side chaining, music theory, composition, drum patterns, tension and release, and finishing songs
Not sure if you guys are aware but everytime you play an illegally downloaded song on CDJs your name and location is immediately sent to local authorities…I’ve seen 3 headliners arrested mid set for this exact crime
