Haven't read the whole thread so probably someone already said it, but the kid is heavilyyy influenced by madeon, and when im saying influenced, it's an understatement.
Anyways, he does seem to have some talent and im sure he can be something in the future if he keeps working hard.

this is utter crap
Look, there are people in the world at 16 that can bring some music. there are people at half that age that play their ass off. this is manufactured cobbled-together crap and it doesn't sound good. so you don't like to hear an opinion that isn't yours, you have to say 'grow the f**k up'. look in the mirror? it's amazing to see this heralded as an accomplishment. this is a natural outcome of the push to be a 'producer' rather than A MUSICIAN.
no. objectively, this doesn't SOUND GOOD, as a mix.billcarroll wrote:To everyone bashing the kid's work ... WTF?
If you don't like the style, fine. The track shows some real progress for someone at 16 and I'll bet many here bashing can't produce a full track half as good.
Come on people, grow the F up.

after all,
thanks to the "one knob push" development industry,well know on kvr but mostly hiding but earning a serious money on the cost of a decline of culture and knowledge about MUSIC.
....and when i read,oh "that music is there for a reason",i start mediating and try to stop thinking what else evil is in the backpack of this "music industry" destroying the youth on a simple but effin effective method.
well done!
nevertheless,
i'm not going to hate or bash the creators of any music.

There's that dilemma with this type of music, and I can never figure it. Squash it to a brick - complete flat line. Then sidechain everything so that it bounces it up and down like a yoyo on the kick. Which ruins the flatline. So it needs a bit more limiting to even it out, but then nobody will be able to hear how artfully you pumped it, because as everyone knows, Houseypoo has to pump like a penile aid. Flatline - bouncy Houseypoo. How is it solved? Hmmmmm. 
And as for criticism - he's the one who put it out there in the public domain. Why do we have to like it and/or be nice about it? I don't particularly like heaps of criticism of my own music - and it's easily solved. I don't put it out there. It goes with the territory whether he's 16 or 60. Tough titty.
Having said that - it's more tuneful than plenty of other stuff out there. at least he's playing more than 2 notes. It's OK. Nothing better than OK IMO, but that style was never really my thing. I did think the distorted overcooked highs got a bit painful after about 35 seconds.

Did somebody mention Mozart, was he 4 years old starting out?
Don't think Mozart had the luxury of DAW's, virtual instruments, or auto-tune

'Nout special for me to be honest...Not my cup of tea at all. I'm not really into that type of happy EDM stuff.
But best of luck to him, it's a great age to start, and as long as he's enjoying it thats all that really matters.

Which is a strange quote to use on a site frequented by musicians. Because in actual fact almost everyone here is actually doing it themselves, both well and not so well. But obviously as real musicians, we are not allowed to criticise. We have to like everything musical.billcarroll wrote:Critics are like eunuchs in a harem; they know how it's done, they've seen it done every day, but they're unable to do it themselves.
