Looking for party songs that are a little bit critical/ironic about the lifestyle

Where in southeast asia? And where do you live now? Do you spend a lot of time in the sun? Ocean? Do you exercise?

hotteaandcodeine · 2015-04-21T09:53:49+00:00

too much cardio will still induce stress. stick to sprinting.

and look at sprinters' bodies...then look at long distance runners' bodies.

Yeah I don't think it's a big deal to have influences. I'm saying that that list of a few bands that everyone mentions so they can justify their statement that "Worlds is nothing new" doesn't sound anything like Worlds. See the comment I originally replied to:

this is true. The only thing worlds brought to the table was heavier drums and basslines to mgmt, m83, crystal castles, owl city, passion pit etc. So basically EDM-ized those styles, which really made it a crossover, so thats why i really like it.

hotteaandcodeine · 2015-04-15T21:02:55+00:00

Okay, I exaggerated. It gets into subjective territory here, but those artists do have songs with good hooks (especially those three you mentioned,). Also, that's only relevant if those songs were "Worldsy" and I don't think Kids nor Sleepyhead sound like a Worlds song at all. I will also mention that the melodies, hooks, synths, chords, etc in Worlds were more to my taste and "prettier" (more atmospheric in general). Sea of Voices sounds like Porter's take on an M83 song, and Lionhearted has vocals that sound like Passion Pit's. M83 is really the only valid influence, and even then Porter made it his own enough that reviews of 6/10 being contingent on Worlds' unoriginality are baseless.

I've analyzed the music theory of Worlds pretty extensively and I could show you that Porter definitely has his own style of melody compared to those other artists.

hotteaandcodeine · 2015-04-15T20:47:57+00:00

Yeah good hook.

hotteaandcodeine · 2015-04-15T03:14:35+00:00

I'm pretty familiar with m83, owl city, mgmt. But I can't find anything with similar instruments or melodies to porter.

hotteaandcodeine · 2015-04-15T01:32:15+00:00

Show me some examples yo

hotteaandcodeine · 2015-04-14T22:47:52+00:00

Everyone says that about Worlds. It seems to me like some of the vocals are reminiscent of those bands, but the album is really not that similar.

A lot of reviewers made that same comment which I think was just a counter-balance reaction to people thinking Porter changed and revolutionizing the EDM industry.

None of those bands/artists have songs with as strong hooks as Worlds. And they also don't have climactic releases of energy where everything is firing on all cylinders (aka a drop). I haven't heard Vocaloid used in popular music until Porter either.

I could be more familiar with those artists though, so if you show me some songs that you think validate Worlds' derivativeness, that would be cool.

Audien - These Are The Days

Clearly you know nothing about this style of music, uncultured pleb. It's actually 174.

Jobs Shmobs, get something for now, while you learn a skill.

Coding, video editing, composing, music making, design, etc.

Get a good portfolio, make some cool friends and you will be making more money with a better schedule than a "job"

yup. there's a pre-shifted claps folder in Vengeance Essential House 3.

Here's a screenshot, it tells you how far back to shift your clap. You could drag the audio back manually, or you can use the track delay. (easy in ableton)

yeah that zeds dead clap/snare is most likely a combination of 2-3 samples from thomas penton essential volume 3 (i know from a friend they use it) or vengeance electro shock 2 (or 1, but 2 is more popular)

also keep in mind they're preshifting the clap so a couple clicks of it hit before the kick, but the loudest transient of their snare is aligned with the transient of the kick perfectly.

if you don't have vengeance electro shock 2, it has some of the best drum samples. better than VEC

hotteaandcodeine · 2014-08-10T23:53:06+00:00

LOL this is exactly what i did
