DJ Idol? No thanks, but apparently it's true.

The same buffoon behind Jersey Shore is trying to capitalize on the recent spike in electronic dance music's popularity by making a reality TV show based around... get ready... DJ'ing. Yes, pushing buttons, if not just pushing play at it's most basic.

So, Floodians who like electronic music, what are your thoughts on this?

I love the Gorillaz to death. This seems to be more about "club" music, like Deadmau5 and the like. Untz Untz Untz with some wub wub in there.

A cornered fox is more dangerous than a jackal.

And from FOX, two phantoms were born.

Does this mean I'm cool for liking The Prodigy and DnB?

I love electronic music, but there is a lot of -blam!- DJ's out in the world.

I like Drum & Bass which isn't REALLY electronic music if you think about it. But hey, if you go on Youtube you can find random kids producing semi-decent songs. EVERYBODY is making songs/remixes and whatnot now.

electronic music is much harder to make than acoustic music.

I do both (complete amateur).

I agree. I also agree with Deadmau5's view that DJ's in general are sort of a necessary evil, like lawyers. You need them, but damn can they be annoying.

That said I do want to learn to mix in addition to producing dnb, since being able to mix/dj seems to be increasingly paramount in the electronic music scene.

Heven644That's him. Are they only focusing on American DJ's?

I'm guessing so, but I have no idea.

Dear tomorrow, Find some sensibility, Respond to emotion.
Dear Politician, Define sagacity,
All chances of survival are beginning to diminish.
Comedy is no excuse for our own blasphemies.
Mass media, Mass pessimism, Mass Denial.
My television tells me to panic, but I don't think I'll listen.
The apathetic force us to persevere, with their backwards priorities.

Am I disappointed in society's choice of music? Yes.

Do I care and value people less? Nope.

There's good music made on computers, like Madeon and Burial, but there are also a multitude of terrible ones, at the same time.

Though, I gotta say, as a massive fan of electronic music (dnb all day every day) and a producer of it myself, it makes me sad to think that it might get completely butchered by the mainstream, as hipster as that sounds.

  • 01.07.2013 5:40 PM PDT

As long as there's still quality electronic music being put out, I don't care. With artists like Madeon on the rise, I think mainstream music could actually become better.

No no, i understand... i mean i love electronic music. I love every kind just its already mainstream. The genre is anyways not the artists and it all depends who you listen to if you want to worry.
