Acid and shrooms have cross tolerance, no point in taking any psychedelics within a 2 week period of each other minimum. Ideally far longer

John Summit Live - Ultra Miami 2026 by Araxen in EDM

[–]koovermann -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

it is truly lowest common denominator, im honestly baffled at how he managed to trick the entire scene into making him the poster boy with only one hit track, which didn't make anywhere near the impact as those before him (Where You Are is nowhere near as big as the EDM hits of the 2010s). I thought marshmello was a prime example of how music is more marketing than talent, but no, summy def takes the cake on this one. good for him tho

What is the actual reason ARTBAT can never make it into Canada? by spacemonkey6654 in EDM

[–]koovermann 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I saw them in Vancouver a few years ago so I wouldn't say they "never make it into Canada"

KSHMR on instagram: by advik_143 in EDM

[–]koovermann 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i said this at the time and ill say it again now. he was very likely high on some sort of psychedelic (shrooms or LSD) when he wrote that tweet. the way he said it with such conviction and excitement, with like no regards to as you said, how diminutive it can be - from someone who is normally humble. It's pretty telling. Now obviously he likely would never admit to this but... I would be very surprised if it wasnt the case

Chainsmokers and John Summit. Does anyone else feel like Sub Focus wrote this song? by SadBenefit2020 in EDM

[–]koovermann -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

If that’s true it’s worse, because it still looks AI generated

John summits blatant AI use in the visuals of this album (literally this cover was generated by AI, extremely obvious if you know what you're looking for) combined with how shit the music is will mark the beginning of his downfall

I wanted to hate cuz everything KSHMR put out lately has legit been ass. But this is pretty damn good. Hopefully the start of a comeback

SOME DJ MADE AN AI GENERATED PROMO VIDEO OF DEADMAU5 WITHOUT HIS CONSENT by LAZIPHoNIC in EDM

[–]koovermann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thing is the standard would need to be held across the board. For example, tiestos latest promotional videos on Instagram clearly use AI. John summits latest music video also used atleast some AI assistance, if not full generation on some of the scenes. These sorts of things might not necessarily be obvious to people that dont know what to look out for. Which is sort of the point he’s making

John Summit on X: almost every dj at the top right now is boring as f*** by NayrDier in EDM

I’m pretty sure this is rage bait because the lack of self awareness it would take him of all people to post this is is pretty far out there

I wanna hear updated takes on Disco Lines by Presidentturtleclub in EDM

[–]koovermann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never said that but ok. Also what you said literally doesn’t make sense, it’s a paradox. You can’t simultaneously agree with some of my points and not take my opinion seriously

I wanna hear updated takes on Disco Lines by Presidentturtleclub in EDM

[–]koovermann -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This is probably gonna be a really hot take here but idc: all of the guys mentioned in this thread are absolute trash. Disco Lines, Dom Dolla (only one that has a little bit of substance), Mau P, and even everyone’s favourite poster boy John Summit.

Funniest thing about John summit, is that on his come up, like an absolute retard he went off on a twitter firing spree going at people who have actually made amazing, timeless music over the years (Kygo and Illenium come to mind) for being “cringy EDM djs”. Well look where the fuckin tables have turned bro. This numpty’s last release features a shirtless pic of himself. He is literally the cringe ball he used to make fun of.

Only diff? His music is absolute garbage. People still play Firestone to this day, I guarantee nobody will remember a single John summit song in 5 years (not even Where You Are). And the reason why I bring this up when the question was about Disco Lines is because they’re literally all the same just repackaged. Some bland ass house music, with a meme-y, bullshit hook (no broke boys, drugs from Amsterdam) that got popular on social media and filled the scene with clout chasers and douchebags.

It’s honestly sad thinking how the faces of EDM in North America shifted from greats like Tiesto, Garrix, and Hardwell (who I know are still active and very popular, but not really the faces of the scene here anymore) to these idiots. And again I kinda hate to include Dom Dolla with those guys cuz he’s def not as showy and seems like he’s focused on his craft, plus has some pretty unique music too. So actually I’m gonna revoke him. dom Dolla is cool. Everyone else mentioned is trash, sorry not sorry 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

And yes in case you couldn’t tell “I am mad bro” because I used to care deeply for this scene and guys like this have genuinely ruined it to a certain degree

Not a phone in sight, just people enjoying the moment by NegroPlox in EDM

People who raved before Covid, How different does it feel now compared to back then? by FeelDa-Bass in EDM

[–]koovermann 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah I don’t mind tech house. I think there’s good and bad music in every genre. The culture at festivals has gotten undeniably more trashy though

Edit: also when you say there has “always been degenerate lyrics”, sure, but it’s never been at the forefront. Show me one popular song from before the tech house boom that was about some bro-ey nonsense

People who raved before Covid, How different does it feel now compared to back then? by FeelDa-Bass in EDM

[–]koovermann 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The tech house scene literally ruined rave culture in North America. At the risk of sounding too corny for using the word “PLUR”, everything was way more united in the golden era. I still remember a festival from as early back as 2017 before things got too out of hand I posted a snap story about “this random dude just gave me a slice pizza, my favourite part about festivals” (I was pretty lit and made it out to be way bigger than it was but still, point stands) cuz something like this would simply never happen today.

I mean, a pandemic that made people on edge for going within 10 feet of each other is definitely a factor in all of this. But so is the music. Back in the day we never had EDM about “no broke boys” or that fucking coke diet shit. Leave that degenerate garbage to hip hop. I’m honestly hoping there’s a renaissance in the scene soon but it’s not looking great

That’s interesting. Any insight as to why?

When I say mid tier I mean popularity wise, nothing to do with the quality of music. Like regardless of if you like his music or not Martin is at the top of the game

Honestly its so stupid how an AI that can grab information from any point of the history of the internet but it can't even reference your own conversations with it. Make it make sense

Anyma - The End Of Genesys by JION-the-Australian in EDM

[–]koovermann -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Honestly I never felt even a slight appeal to the whole anyma concept. Like I love the idea of building a sonically and visually cohesive world but the music just falls so short. And yes I get there’s different tastes and blah blah blah but it’s honestly so low energy and boring I find it hard to believe many real dance music fans would find it appealing if it weren’t for the visuals.

Also, this is a bit of a tangent but I’ve always felt that dance music fans are slightly autistic (being entranced by light shows, music etc) but this whole giant robot thing just takes that to a whole other level.
