What does electronic music need more/less of in 2015?

[exfox]

more uk funky
more cowbell definitely
more kowton

less stuff like this

matter of opinion of course and i generally love techno, but I feel like this is taking it way too far, could not listen to the whole comp straight

Nah fuck off. That tune is sick you're just being wet

Especially when you're saying we need more UK Funky which disappeared because it had run its course. Like I wouldn't mind hearing it played out again randomly but we don't need a revival it would get so boring so fast.

Not meaning a UK Funky revival, more like UK Funky infused stuff. And this Happa track uses the same esthetics as the initial brostep stuff imo, ie 18yo (irrelevant but still) Guy going "oiii let's this sourd that's sick at the moment and compress it to the extremeeee". I loved the Habits of Hate traces but this is just too much for me - and I like both techno and noise

More pluse X remixes

I still think grime is dead and buried.

The music fills a form doesn't it though? Like a musical need. What fills the form that grime filled? Dark, hard, future, cold, and weird?

[finji]

techno!

[nowaysj]

I knew you were going to say that, but it isn't one thing... future.

[chekov]

grime is no more or less future than techno

it's what you make of it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[cyclopian]

more gun fingers

less internet

[ehbes]

Need more boat shoe and chino, less denim

[RKM]

how could we possibly need more techno...........every producer in bristol makes it and djs it since house b8ed itself out

i'm genuinely curious about what innovation has happened in that genre over last few years

[Samuel_L_Damnson]

More darker bassline stuff like this and this.

Sick

[wolf89]

Need more boat shoe and chino, less denim

People who dress like that like the most utterly shit house possible

[Liam92]

Swamp81 need to stop releasing bullshit music and start making more stuff like this:



And also, Swamp needs more Trusta. Can't seem to find that Trusta tune "Monica" about anywhere anymore

[hubb]

more awards and more executives deciding which way to go next imo

tax breaks for people that have a chick doing the hook

focusing more on clothes and looks etc

[Harkat]

less vowels in artist names

[nowaysj]

Perspective, I guess.

Grime still sounds future to me.

The old grime and the new grime still sound future.

The techno that reaches me is not progressive.

[RKM]

less vowels in artist names

we need a new influx of musicians named only with letters x and y

[NinjaEdit]

But too many Ys as they act as a vowel.

[ultraspatial]

less dull inoffensive overly familiar bait shit that wouldn't be out of place in some dumb student-y "fun night out" heineken commercial
less commodity fetishism
less chat about "punk ethos"
less trap / hiphop

word, i remember hearing that tune for the first time and just being floored by how weird it was. probably the best thing swamp has put out alongside work them and the trusta 12"

also the reason you cant find monica is cause its tessela



a lot of tessela stuff from that time period basically sounded exactly like trusta's stuff though, thought hackney parrot was trusta as well before an ID surfaced

talked to him in person and I asked if he knows about the uproar his swamp release caused and that people still talk about it.

he did say he's aware of it but didn't give any promises for future tracks. he isn't that mad about the current state of things meaning how bass music is so 4x4 nowadays and basically wouldn't like to contribute to that with more housey stuff. or at least this is how i remember it

tes isn't that active with music nowadays anyway because he's busy with family etc.. solid bloke altogether
