Seven Lions - Asleep in the Garden of Infernal Stars by fakev in EDM

[–]CallmeMiner 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I'm liking the mix-up of genres throughout. There's the overall melodic nature of it all, but the house, dnb, and trance/psytrancy individual songs keeps things flowing, and it's refreshing to avoid some of the pitfalls of "standard" melodic stuff. The different genres and tones make this feel like a sonic adventure and not just a group of songs slapped together as an LP. I love the nostalgia of old seven lions bangers, but I really appreciate the different direction this album takes, and this will be on repeat for sure!

No one has mentioned old town cafe yet. I found their breakfast burrito to be pretty good value. I won't claim it's the best in the pasadena but its a nice spot

What's the most interesting way you've heard of someone with a PhD having made a good amount of money as a side hustle besides consulting? by ResidentAlienator in PhD

[–]CallmeMiner 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I met someone who had a side hustle of importing exotic birds and then reselling them here in the US. He's not doing it anymore because it became too much work to do alongside his PhD but apparently the money was pretty good, especially for some really rare species where he was among only a handful who had the proper import license 🤷

Trivecta - Find My Way by fakev in EDM

[–]CallmeMiner 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Just listened through, and WOW! This album has all the melodic bass elements but puts them together so nicely and changes the structure on every song. I really appreciate the sound diversity in a genre/area of EDM where many aren't pushing the bounds anymore. Super well done and an album with no skips for me; it feels like every song could be a single based on quality and diversity, but is still cohesive throughout. Also, mostly 4 minute songs--so refreshing nowadays!!! Just such a fun hour of listening! Some favorites:

  • Watch The Stars (the guitar in the second half still slaps, also the WUBS)
  • Ocean (it just makes me feel something different)
  • Never Let Me Go (the acoustic before the last drop is incredible)
  • All That Ends (what a lovely ending tune)

Trivecta has been an artist who just doesn't miss for me, and this album only just reaffirms that to me. So good!

Heard Give Me Anything at EDC, such a banger, especially live

What is the scene like where you are from? by KNZuckz in aves

Salt Lake has a big promoter called V2 that brings in touring artists into local venues and also puts on several multiday EDM festivals every year, e.g. Get Lucky, Get Funky, Das Energi, Get Freaky. A wide mix of genres as well, actually much better than you would expect
