Are my ears deceiving me?

Only a teenager could possibly keep up with all these sub genres. I give up!

To be fair, Tchami absolutely kills that sound. But I've now seen DJs jump from the SHM "prog" bandwagon to the Sandro Silva Epic "EDM" bandwagon to the Julio Bashmore "deep house" bandwagon and now to the Tchami megamix "Future house" bandwagon. Listened to 6 DJ's in one night practically play the same song for 5 hours.

Okay?

well I do consider Shiba San in a special category. One of the few producers that actually puts effort in to tracks. I swear most of these guys are making these tracks in a day...and using all loopmasters stuff, and presets. So it all sounds the same.

I'm guilty of making some tracks with this sound. whatevs though. I hate country but many people love it.

When I saw this thread, I actually thought of how a lot of the new country sounds exactly the same. Cruise (by Florida Georgia Line) 6.0.

There is a trend in history, though, of popular music sounding "the same." Eventually new ideas come out, and people steal ideas from other people, and then we get a new sound.

Country sounds more alike that I ever realized.

It's great shame really that the diversity of the top 10's of a major download site such as beatport are found quite lacking. I don't know wether it's the producers who make the same music, or the people who buy said tunes and catapult them into the top 10's that makes me so frustrated. Can we take the Top 10's as a direct reflection of how people DJ nowadays?

Obviously if you go digging around Beatport there's some great stuff to be had and the tunes that define your style and sound aren't just going to hit you in the face. But someone, somewhere is updating their crates on a monthly basis that contains nothing but the Top 100 and playing a load of tunes that all sound the same. I'd get bored pretty quickly to be quite honest.

it's called commercial/pop/radio music...i am pretty sure other countries suffer from the same thing...

what happened to the post you quoted?

the top 10 can be monotonous but it's not always like that. ten walls, dusky, pirupa have had #1s on there. also you gotta realize people are trying to make it big (locally, regionally, nationally or internationally) with DJing and that means playing the big tracks. also the people at the top have a vested interest in their sound being popular. and they have much greater resources to make that happen. and i don't mean buying their own tracks but they have a greater reach and a better ability to promote a certain sound.
