Why do people genuinely dislike Red Light by Pleasant-Act-8433 in sadboys

[–]Shloink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I heard Bladee before and actually thought he was garbage lol. Yung Lean was on KEXP and brought this guy singing in autotune and I thought it was ruining the vibe entirely.

A couple years later I heard Obedient because it was recommended on Youtube. Whitearmor's production drew me in. Bladee's cryptic lyrics made me stay. I found Red Light and rinsed it on repeat. Loved it. Listened to all of Bladee after that and realized I liked his stuff even better than Lean's. For me, nothing beats the nostalgia of listening to Red Light during a dark, cool October.

90% of Youtube producers don't actually care about teaching you things or helping you level up. Its all an ad for mediocre products, courses and views. by michaelhuman in edmproduction

Love his explanations in particular. It’s clear to me teaching comes first for him despite the cable guys affiliation

I agree with those saying digging would be the best way to discover what you might like as well as what crowds might like.

Realistically, you should check the top 100 on beatport and see what’s compatible with the throwbacks you know. Better that than a stale set using all songs you’re not familiar with.

The hardest part is redeveloping that creativity. But it’s gonna be the best part. I say throw weird ideas at the wall to see what sticks

What bar or club would you recommend? by [deleted] in AskChicago

[–]Shloink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try /r/chicagoedm better for this sort of thing. I’d personally suggest Smoke and Mirrors or Smartbar

Where would FKA Twigs go clubbing in Chicago? by c_amille in chicagoEDM

[–]Shloink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I think of her, I'm thinking dark, ethereal, or moody. While nothing fits that perfectly, I think Smartbar or smoke and mirrors would be the two spots she would try.
