Absolutely not, popular music and music in general is in constant change, like it has always been. But the older popular and not popular music is not dead either. It was created somewhere back in time and still exists today and tomorrow. Rather than a linear development, music goes around in circles. Some circles may actually come full, even if ever so briefly. Some are spiralling and only look like circles from below or above. But at any given point there are similarities with other circles, past, present and future.

Your heart, mind and soul. In other words: YOU.
What you do with something is what makes it unique. Take the most non-EDM synth and do EDM with it. The challenge alone will teach you some things and it will be fun, if you have fun with the process and think outside of the box.
Jesus said to him: Thomas, because thou have seen me, you have believed, but blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed!

That was cool. End seemed cut off but still, that was cool. Are they a "known" act or just another bedroom producer? Not that I can tell the difference.

Now I am gonna dedicate this selection to recursive one.

Well, to assert my affection for EDM! Actually, I am very song based...I like a good song...country, jazz, etcetera...

And I think this is a good song. This tune is built around a very bright, simple synth chord riff, and lovely vocals from the girls, and I just really like it.

It is an older song, likely commercial...so what...So There!!! :hihi: :) :hihi: :)
