and that's coming from someone who loves a lot of the stuff in this thread. It does seem that often there is a tendency to jump on anything that has any strand of this style of hip hop production at the moment
However. There are some incredibly energetic, inventive and interesting tunes out there and some of the djs mentioned here are playing some of the most enjoyable sets around at the moment.
The issue is that there's far too many suburban white dudes with internet connections getting a boner over anything with a big ass 808 kick drum. Same way that there's loads of dudes thinking anything with repetitive vocal samples and drum machine sounds is juke/footwork (do they even know the difference between the two? Probably not especially as they're calling Addison Groove juke).
But then this goes for how many people only play "dungeon" and no other strand of dubstep when they dj
or how many people suddenly have realised house music exists and play painfully dull "deep" dj sets.
It's all relative. So Gwa, yeah I see your point mate but every genre is doing this now.
So let's carry on posting the quality tunes and not worry about the internet hype around it or hate over what is the "brostep of hip hop".
I'm not bothered about the trends or image any tunes here are associated with. I just want something I can listen to at the club, in the car, play in a dj set, listen to drinking with mates. Whatever
(I'm really drunk)
Surprisingly coherent.

dynamics, i guess? probably the same reason Shlohmo moved on from stuff like "Hot Boxing" to albums like Bad Vibes... no point in keeping the same sound for forever.
a live set full of trap is tiring, a live set full of maximalistic intensity is even worse...
"a lot of this shit is terrible" can be said of the vast majority of any genre, especially house, dubstep, pop (same 4 chords everywhere) and trap since the barrier for entry is so low. even garage/2step was awful for awhile when everyone was trying to emulate Burial.

but hot boxing to bad vibes is more of a logical progression in developing his sound (although i did not like bad vibes). to me what hud mo did is moving backwards. and i dont know anything about sets cuz no artists id ever want to see come 'round here. and i said a lot of this shit is bad because this "trap" shit is not objectively bad like house, dubstep, and pop are. the eprom track i posted is sick and so is other tracks by him and salva that are similar, and some powell stuff maybe, but from the stuff ive listened to in this thread, a lot of it just sounds like white kids wishing they were producing for waka flocka.
's in the world for you in this thread, considering you bum house music, but that comment really takes the pie.
