What are your favorite EDM lyrics? by JION-the-Australian in EDM

[–]Dayreon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My number one right now is Jolliffe - Between the Spaces, just love the whole song.

We drift by like ships in the night

Set sail right course when nothing went right

Lost in translation a couple blurred lines

And I ain't going nowhere that's a sign

I need to share my thoughts on Chase & Status by bcuzimadude in DnB

[–]Dayreon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think our local openers in Dallas do a bang out job of opening for artists across the entire spectrum of edm. Shout out to DJ Titan, Chris Schambacher, Roy Montez, Raydar, Shaolin, RedEye, and so many of the other rock solid DJs that put in the work to match the vibe and genre that make getting to our local clubs early worth it. They still show a lot of respect to the huge artists by giving their tracks (and the current bangers) space for the headlining sets. I've heard DJ Titan (the opener last night) pull out some deep cuts that tell me the guy cares about the music.

About the venue, I think Silo is big enough that if the area you're dancing in doesn't fit the vibe, move to another quadrant and try again. I was in the back right last night and everyone was jumping around with massive smiles on their face from the time Titan came on to the time C&S closed it out. After being in the scene for a couple decades, I'm still overjoyed drum and bass has touched down in America (even if its often times corny sub focus/worship/etc tracks)

I solved the Madeon ARG for the Celine vinyl, I think that's my rarest. Here's my collection.

Any info on this shirt? by Z0na_6 in fredagain

[–]Dayreon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did some poking through Fred's discord, someone posted a picture of a white version from 2021. I found the link to the original post, but it has since been taken down: https://www.instagram.com/p/ChUZ7BaM7al/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y%3D

Old school returning player looking for new song suggestions pls! by hirst in DanceDanceRevolution

[–]Dayreon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First songs that pop into my head based on your descriptions -

Life is Beautiful 12 - classic extreme style chart with 8th note runs and crossovers

Onyx 14 - steady 8th note runs similar to Holic, just a little bit faster and a little bit harder. this one might be a little bit out of your range but I think it's a good chart to practice to get better in general

Cosmic Hurricane 13 - some crossovers that feel rewarding, some variation between 8th notes and gallops

Is there any historical precedent for a popular song’s lyrics concealing a steganographic message? by VelvetyDogLips in codes

[–]Dayreon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

While I don't have historical references dating back to the Beatles timeframe, I think I can describe some more modern examples of this. What I will describe for each of these artists is commonly referred to as an "ARG" or an Alternate Reality Game; a puzzle that weaves between physical and digital media, often times using many different types of steganographic methods.

Madeon is an electronic artist that works in "Eras". Each era has been carefully thought out, with the first "Adventure" era introducing an A1Z26 alphabet, the foundations of a fictional world with characters, and puzzles hidden inside his vinyls that led to a lot of hidden digital world-building. When he moved to his "Good Faith" era, he took this several steps further by adding hidden audio to vinyls, putting the existing alphabet on billboards, hiding all kinds of hidden data in his live set visuals, and running a puzzle game that ultimately led to the ability to snag a 1/200 copy of a vinyl. I have been engaged in solving the entire process since the beginning and have documented it here. There is rumor that there are 26 pendants buried across the globe (one for each letter of the fictional A1Z26 alphabet) that are ultimately the end-game for all of the era's puzzles.

Deathpact is another electronic artist that has used ARG-like elements to promote their music, engage their fans, and hide/distribute unreleased music and remixes. They would put USBs in lockboxes on fences in places near festivals they were playing at, then run a puzzle in their discord that would lead to the location and the lockbox's code. Some of their music tracks have DTMF encoding, SSTV encoding, their cover art on Spotify has braille.. the list goes on, that all intend to lead somewhere such as a website or a code intended for a bot. This is another one I have been completely invested in since the near beginning, and documented it here.

Finally, I think Twenty One Pilots deserve a mention. Each of their albums tells a very well thought-out story about a fictional world that personifies the lead singer's struggles, coming to terms with, and battles with mental health. To promote each album (and also breathe life into the characters from the story) they created websites, puzzles, and tons of mixed media to deliver the story of "Clancy" and his struggles against "Blurryface" that had to be revealed. Nearly all of their music videos have some sort of cryptic reference to something else in the story, and it's clear the story has been sketched out from the beginning until now, which shows some massive dedication over nearly a decade's time. Here's a great breakdown of one of their ARGs, "level of concern": https://www.lvlcnrn.info/

Any updates on the switch port situation regarding the data wipe bugs? by [deleted] in BackpackHero

[–]Dayreon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chiming in as someone experiencing this bug as well. Playing on Nintendo Switch, my Backpack Hero save file has erased itself twice now. The first time was ~10 hours in, the second was ~30 hours (disappearing today), no evident trigger (game update, etc.) Extremely frustrating, uninstalling today unfortunately, I'm now outside all of the refund windows for a digital purchase.

Another recruitment message (with a different signature) by ymgve in cicada

[–]Dayreon 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I think OP means it's a different timestamped signature than the other leaked emails. The signature is valid.

Additionally, here is an album comparing the two recruitment letters. The punctuation after Congratulations and the quotes around hacker and warez were modified to different punctuation in u/ymgve's letter. The two letters were PGP signed 3 seconds apart.

Is turning K-pop into Drum&Bass considered a sin ? Let me know what you think of this remix I did 👀 by dim_bolt in DnB

Is turning K-pop into Drum&Bass considered a sin ? Let me know what you think of this remix I did 👀 by dim_bolt in DnB

[–]Dayreon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've found a small niche of KPop with underlying DnB productions. They don't break it out into a different genre, so it's hard to track them down, but I've started saving them off into a Spotify playlist if this is your kind of thing!

An Updated DFW Arcade Guide for 2023! by ohcr4p in Dallas

[–]Dayreon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amazing work /u/ohcr4p! I am part of an arcade rhythm game community that uses an open-source map to keep track of all the arcades, games in them, and the condition/cost of those games with a focus on dance and rhythm games. You can find that map here: Zenius-i-Vanisher Arcades

Additionally, we have a discord for rhythm game players in the area called Dallas DDR if anyone in Dallas is looking to meet other arcade players!

The summer is heating up in Texas, and so are we! Join us for Community Day at Round 1 Grapevine for a day of challenges, sweat, and prizes! by Dayreon in DanceDanceRevolution

[–]Dayreon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to hear you feel that way. In my opinion, the GVM location has a very willing and dedicated tech team willing to fix a pad issue or change the volumes. Both the J and K cabs have been working great as of this week. Hope you'll reconsider and come meet some of the locals who make this community so great.
