It’s quite clear that you don’t like a lot of the more mainstream electronic artists. I don’t see why you feel a need to stir up the pot and get everyone arguing over their ability to produce.
IMO, if you think their song was simplistic, I’d like to see you produce a hit song using the same simple techniques.
I really hate trap, but I’m not going to talk shit about trap artists because I know I can’t produce anything remotely as good.
I made this comment in another thread, but I’ll bring it up again. The thing that really makes electronic music special compared to other genres, is how you can create beautiful sounds using very simple loops and whatnot.
Sorry, I don’t always agree with loverocket, but I don’t get it either. Crap track and I’ve never really understood the fascination SHM. Somebody please show me something to understand their relevance other than punters admiring them.
While I respect Hawtin, I’ve never really considered myself a “fan” and while I agree with your sentiment, are you saying that SHM is the country music of House music? Cuz if you are I’d agree with that.
What I’m saying is that SHM may appear to be the country of House music to you, whereas others may like SHM. It doesn’t make SHM any less talented though. Any artist can be the ‘country music’
In my case, I’d consider Richie Hawtin to be my electronic country music except I could actually stand listening to Hawtin. That drum and bass stuff? No way.
Anyway, Swedish House Mafia - Don’t You Worry Child is basically the biggest mainstream progressive anthem of all time. It’s basically the Darude - Sandstorm (for Ibiza Trance) or Ian Van Dahl - Castles In The Sky (Vocal Trance) of the Progressive House world. You put it on in ANY mainstream club, and the crowd goes wild. Simples.
Agreed. Although, exactly WHAT is progressive about that track? Surely it’s electro. Or maybe I’m old. I had trouble remembering my PIN number when I was at the ATM machine the other day!
