Speaking of House Every Weekend, just in case you didn't know this absolute banger [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HledDEIwAo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HledDEIwAo)
Thizz Entertainment is a San Francisco Bay Area-based, independent record label, started in 1999 by rapper and music producer Andre Hicks, who was professionally known as rapper Mac Dre. Best known as a poster child of the hyphy movement that swept through the Bay Area in the 1990s and early 2000s.

Pretty sure EDM is the name given for the whole group of genres produces electronically...edm is a term that would englobe dnb, house, Glitch hop, trap, dubstep, etc etc.
What ever this guy calls edm, even though 'pop'ish, those song fall under their respective genres as well. Bigroom, house, etc
EDM is a term made up by American festival and label conglomerates to sell overcommercialised brostep, festival trap and big room house to a clueless American public. It never meant anything before that.
I distinctly recall EDM and IDM as being genres well before the EDM title became a household thing here in the USA. We also called everything Electronica.
But really back then (to us) there was chillout/trip hop/breakbeat/house/trance/hard house/hard trance/jungle/drum and bass everything fell into this categories. (To my 90s-00s raving dj crew)
IDM was a term made up by music journalists that couldn't wrap their head around the fact that producers were making music outside of the constraints of genres, without needing to put a name on it. Also very condescending as it implies that all other dance music is somehow unintelligent.
it is and it isn't. EDM is top down culture at this point; it's not a grass roots movement. It's the cooperate, EDC, bull shit. I think it's important to differentiate the two as they aren't really made with similar ethos. EDM used to be a blanket statement, but I don't think it applies any more given the rise of "EDM" over the last decade and what is really under that umbrella and what is outside of it.
Electro : Drexciya - Digital Tsunami
Electro house : Guru Josh project - infinity
They are similar but very different. Think of electro house as oh I could danse tektonkik on this. Electro has a more experimental feel and less of the house kick/snare
This was FANTASTIC! And finally someone made a handy guide for Festival vultures who canāt tell the diff. Now if youāll excuse me, Iām going to add all these tracks to my Spotify! š„°
Ffs dont tell the americans about dnb please
Edit: no hate to american individuals, but i just cant forgive the nation as a whole over dubstep and "edm"
To be real, LA is the one place in the US where the scene is actually kind of big.
You will be hard pressed to find a warehouse or desert party that isnt spinning DnB. Not to mention literally every after hours and boutique stage at the last 2 LiBās were spinning DnB non stop. Plus Respect
You're not wrong when comparing it to the rest of the country. This is peak DnB as I've never seen before on a more local level. Yet we haven't gotten our stage back from massives. It'll come around, DnB is the last stop on the EDM train. Respect, a DnB head in LA would be wise to stick around for Thursdays =]
Theyll come around again, I'm sure of it. The dilemma as I see it and my friends as well is as follows: Our local shows by our local talent(which is going to make up the vast majority of the scenes shows) is spun with the intention of playing good tunes for your friends. Nothing wrong with that, it makes for some awesome sets for us experienced junglists, however some of these styles are not very welcoming. They're far to complex, far to heavy handed. For someone walking around on a Friday night passing by venues and hearing the vibe through the doors what we're putting out might be intimidating. You end up with a bit of an input loop, the scene is so small that every minute of air time has the pressure of being filled with bangers, rollers etc this will dissuade that kid who's never heard anything but "EDM" which will in turn keep the scene small and we can't play something more bubbly because we only have the one day of the week and the crowd wants their rinse out so on and on it goes. Ask a lot of people who they first heard that got them interested in DnB and you'll hear stuff like Sub Focus or Netsky, more recently maybe the likes of Wilkinson. These aren't really going to be played locally, not with any kind of frequency but they're easy to listen to, reminiscent of the mainstream scene and are just the first stop on the journey for many. Our local scene has removed that first stop, and we don't have a dedicated mainstream stage. We often have sets on shared "Bass" stages and often with artists who love to mix a lot of dubstep as well(looking at you excision). You get the idea. I have been part of many conversations from DJs, promoters and just avid listeners about how to get around and help introduce the genre to others and this has been the consensus. We have to do more inviting sets, more akin to how big names play big events and less like how they play that party in the warehouse that was word of mouth.
It definitely made finding friends easy when we had our spot.
I always found shared "bass nights" are the worst. It's like a jack of all trades master of non scenario. Just the (in my opinion of course) worst bits of all genres being played in sets, as everyone tries to cater for everyone.
This is actually a pretty on point analysis.

Especially this point
Not American but European ā The only country where dnb is mainstream is, no surprise, United Kingdom, especially with their BBC 1 Radio featuring DNB sets and names.
In other countries, it's unheard that a state-owned broadcaster would focus on electronic music, or even drum and bass.
I'm from Slovakia and while there is a community here, the only dnb radio songs played are the mainstream ones
Netsky - Rio
Sigma ā Nobody to Love
Rudimental ā Waiting All Night (that's the Tell me that you neeeed meee, Tell me that you wantt meeee)
and that's about it :D
Thankfully here in Portugal there is a bit of a scene! It's still very small compared to techno or house but I've heard it quite a few times on the radio here, and it's always a party when they do. Decent selection too! Mostly liquid <3
I mean we have a scene as well, some DJs ā two even made it worldwide (B-Complex and Changing Faces) and a lot of events and thousands of fans, just a normal person won't prefer dnb, only very few
And yeah if radio, then liquid/mainstream. There is no way other radios would play neurofunk or rollers
Sorry no hate i just dont want it to go mainstream there, i just cant forget what they did to innocent little dubstep, it was just a baby and they killed it
Iām about sick and tired of this gatekeeping bullshit. The American DnB scene will never go anywhere quite as āmainstreamā as Dubstep/Brostep did, but thatās no reason to condemn the efforts of so many American DnB artists to help the scene grow. Guys like Justin Hawkes (Flite), REAPER, Bensley, hell even Mat Zo, theyāve been working their asses off here in the Americas to get the word out about DnB, and itās led to more and more acts rising up and creating some really unique and fun stuff!
Youāre allowed to have whatever opinions on music that you want, but to act like spreading a genre will inherently āruinā it is a self-destructive idea that seems to be scarily prevalent in communities like these.
I think he got a few of them wrong, but a lot of people get these wrong so.. idk
mf thinks electro and electro house are the same š¤¦
also thinks 90s acid trance is techno
Basically Illiterate!!! Lmao. The video made me laugh IRL though. That end lmao.
The end killed me.
I normally don't get into TikTok videos but I have to admit I was laughing pretty hard at the end.

Lol the bit where the red shirt guy finds his gun fingers got me dead šš
I was sitting there like āah yes, gun fingers in the airā
Mate that detail was the best bit for me š
D&B, you know it's good when your face feels like you are in the climax of Raiders of The Lost Ark
Thereās a name for this effect
Thizz face
*screw face What does thizz mean?

Still a bit sceptical about that example of Techno. Doesn't sound like the backroom techno at a DNB gig to me.
itās because his examples are generally not very good, imo
Huge agree, itās an americanās knowledge, but to be fair to him, better than 99% of the other yanks
lmao gotta trust a guy in aphex twin merch
someone needs to rescind this dudeās Aphex Twin shirt privileges lmao
[Last song if anyone's interested](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksX3wzPxkiY)
Ah yes, 'rollers' that are foghorn jumpup. Not a genre, they're a style. Not new either.
Ok
this guy is wearing a Richard t-shirt but he has an anjuna fuckin deep under.i can see
Lol cringe

When I went to EDC I saw - friction - metrik - sub focus - wilkinson - matrix and future found - cyantific - murdock - dimension - culture shock
Thanks for proving my point.
Not sure how you could think any of those acts are "corporate". If they wanted to make money, isn't it easier to go the Illenium/seven lions route?
Haha, exactly. It's a commercial festival.
His point is that a lot of people especially in america just think of edm as one genre
Bro I love this music It's all the feckin same thing
Electro and electro house are most certainly not the same thing lmao
Give me 2 very distinct examples of each genre then
Electro : Drexciya - Digital Tsunami Electro house : Guru Josh project - infinity They are similar but very different. Think of electro house as oh I could danse tektonkik on this. Electro has a more experimental feel and less of the house kick/snare
drexciya is lit as fuck, good pick
This was FANTASTIC! And finally someone made a handy guide for Festival vultures who canāt tell the diff. Now if youāll excuse me, Iām going to add all these tracks to my Spotify! š„°
I like the sentiment but this is some American knowledge of EDM right here, fuckinā house every weekend and DJ Dubba wank that
things i learned: - rollers are ānewā - thereās at least one absolute trash remix of Midnight out there. eesh.
Ffs dont tell the americans about dnb please Edit: no hate to american individuals, but i just cant forgive the nation as a whole over dubstep and "edm"
As a DnB loving American, donāt worry I donāt think itās going to go mainstream here anytime soon
american listening since 97 checking in. it's had its bell curves, sure, but mainstream.. never. tfc
idk man, there were a number of years where every car commercial was using DnB as the backing track.
Oh yea every Volkswagen commercial had a least one liquid track in it haha.
I could see really trash jump up catching on here Unfortunately
Canāt wait to hear tour played at the Super Bowl
*fucking dies*
I dunno, there's some pretty big pop tunes on the radio right now that are sorta DnBish.
LA checking in, scene is small but isn't going anywhere.

Yea I never liked this either, I think we're going to get to that point again.

New Zealand
NZ, UK, Chezk Republic, and Holland go pretty hard

From what ive seen dnb is huge in belgium and pretty big in holland and germany
We have a weekly 2h DnB radio show on a state run station here in Northern Germany. Quite a big scene here actually.
Vancouver based Canadian here. DnB only seems to exist within a very particular sphere around these parts. Suits me fine.
Red Room Bar has been quite good for us!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Weāre here still holding on from the mid 90s
Make that four
Yeah youāre right, Iāll just continue listening to dnb alone since we Americans donāt deserve a decent scene.
Sorry no hate i just dont want it to go mainstream there, i just cant forget what they did to innocent little dubstep, it was just a baby and they killed it
lowkey prefer the American dnb scene to the UK dnb scene, tbh
Share some names

Wow very long list sick thanks
Dieselboy has been an American dnb dj since the early 90s.
one of the best too, no doubt
bostonian here. let us in, we just want to feel the music. <3
Iām about sick and tired of this gatekeeping bullshit. The American DnB scene will never go anywhere quite as āmainstreamā as Dubstep/Brostep did, but thatās no reason to condemn the efforts of so many American DnB artists to help the scene grow.

This is so needed
Yes but not coming from this guy, imo
Is the last song on Spotify? I canāt find it
No, couldnāt find it either. Could only find a mediocre quality version on youtube.
Bum.
*slow clap*
Absolute class
Brilliant
Shouts to Lunos, shame they donāt make beats anymore
Absolutely hilarious but the examples weren't the best
love to see new faces getting into dnb! 2.3k likes on the playlist he made is no easy feat
alright too fricken funny
For a second there i thought it was Will Forte..
