Re: New vs Old

Without going all DJ-snob, this is an honest request for advice. What's the best way to introduce the current crop of EDMers into I guess what we now call as underground?

Make them hear some of the best tracks of that era:

Sasha - Xpander - YouTube
Jondi Spesh - We Are Connected - Original Mix - YouTube
Christian Smith John Selway - Move (Original Re-Mastered Version) - YouTube
Adam Johnson - Traber [HD] - YouTube
A.D.N.Y. Presents Leiva - Something for the Soul - YouTube
Voyager - Time Travel - YouTube


If they don't like this, it's mission impossible.

So why is he trying to get her into it? It's like having your dad trying to get you into Deep Purple,mor any of that old hippie shit.

Re: New vs Old

So... I recently befriended a 20 year old gal. I'm twice her age. We got to talking about music, DJs, etc. and I asked her for her favorites. Skrillex, Diplo, and Steve Aoki. You know where this is heading... ha ha.

No really, so I told her about Digweed and she did not know. So she got home and messaged me: "I listened to Digweed. I don't like it b/c it's the same beats over and over and it should have lyrics."

Without going all DJ-snob, this is an honest request for advice. What's the best way to introduce the current crop of EDMers into I guess what we now call as underground? Short of taking her to a Digweed live (which is not possible, we live in different countries), what would be a good way? Progressive house often does not reward with instant gratification and you have to be patient... very different from today's EDM. If she likes EDM, that's fine. But wouldn't it be so nice if she could experience the other side too?

You have a job cut out. Most of those who like underground music came to it a little later than 20. There have been studies done that say we hear differently depending on age. Particularly those under 25 . Does she love music ?, or is it just a soundtrack for her social life? I would suggest artists that cross over a bit. Artists that are not quite you but you can enjoy . One of those for me would be Hot since 82. He does vocals, but good vocals.

Good luck !!

djkix seems very clear to me when saying " If she likes EDM, that's fine. But wouldn't it be so nice if she could experience the other side too?" but if you want more details just ask him

btw nothing wrong with dads trying to get you into deep purple and stuff, better that than not try anything at all.. Surely i´ll be the kind of dad that will try to get my son into Hernan Cattaneo´s music .. Then, he will listen whatever he wants or that will be trendy in 2035

Re: New vs Old

I've never been with a girl that's into our music the way I am.

Present day, my fiancée hates my music!!

She says it sounds like the wind and the trees which I thought was pretty cool in itself

Re: New vs Old

So sorry for her loss

There is no such thing as the underground. It's just a phrase coined by people that would like to touch Digweed's cock.

Re: New vs Old

Never thought about it (and certainly no one is debating if underground music exists or not) but anyway thanks for the info


The by now legendary Zover used to say something similar about underground music

If The Now Legendary Zover was here, this thread would not have made 2 pages.

That might help! Tough call, you're nice enough to share what you like. I don't get new music, or new DJs... Best of luck.

Re: New vs Old

Re: New vs Old

An All Day I Dream party with Lee seems to work best in my experience..

But all in all.. it kind has to happen organically.. if she has an ear for good music, she will outgrow the EDM on her own.
