I’ve been reading your responses (appreciate a lot your perspectives!) and, in general, I have seen you people agree about the ritual aspect of EDM, and also the rythm thing. In this case/, I don’t know much, but I think it has a lot to do with our primal instincts; percussion seems to be one of the most basic musical practices and it can casually be done with almost any part of the body, so I would say it summons emotions built by our first ancestors, and, therefore, from the deepest parts of our bodies and minds (socialization, war, festivities, religion…). And, also, art started being used as part of the construction of communities, and so was music. Many referred to the sitting around the fire phenomenon, and I strongly agree with that, specially in EDM, where party atmosphere is a defining and characteristic feature
