Hey guys. Ok I'm sorry and hope my title doesn't offend anyone. I am in the camp that thinks "EDM" as it is has been so labeled, sucks. Yet I know there is good to be found everywhere. So that is why I am here.
I have the (misfortune?) of doing something I said I would never do again, but it's for a friend so I kind of have to.
I am DJ'ing for teenagers and that is something that has always gone badly because they act a fool about the music that is being played. I had a goth/industrial night once and teenagers showed up and ruined the whole thing as they ranted for Miley, Iggy, and Taylor Swift. Then they proceeded to drive everyone out of the venue when they didn't get what they wanted.
So getting on with it... I am DJ'ing for an anime convention in my town. I know from experience as a frequent convention goer that the anime teen fans like k-pop. They used to like j-pop but act like it's the devil since they found k-pop. They also like the worst EDM and trance that money can buy.
Since I dislike the latter, I don't own any of it. Now I have to go out and buy some so I can do this gig.
So over to you guys. Can you please recommend some EDM and trance that has I guess some of the usual trappings but doesn't suck?
And again apologies if I offended anyone. These are just my feelings.
Thanks in advance for the help.
