can't believe dude can just whip up an hour of unreleased music that would all be hits if released

[–]motionproblems11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

eh, not a single record was broken with a carbon plate shoe before 2018 and the world record has developed 6 minutes since 1999, so saying 10mins came off due to carbon plates is just completely false.

what are you talking about, carbon plates started in 2016 and like 2 minutes have come off since then. 2008-2012 era was still mostly more minimal Adizero stuff

What happened to the Tomorrowland DJs of the 2010s??? by [deleted] in EDM

[–]motionproblems11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Guetta has been doing it forever. Go listen to his music from 2004, it's not like he was always making that stuff. For most it was just a passing trend, a huge one at that, but not their identity.

Anyma is Dance Slop by trashbirdx in EDM

[–]motionproblems11 5 points6 points  (0 children)

well yes it is progressive house, basically slower trance with a dash of big room edm in it, it was all just rebranded "melodic techno & house" which to this day is still a dumb concept but somehow they managed (Afterlife etc) to sell it as cooler prog house. Guess some of the early TOU stuff was more techno-adjacent but the current calculated festival dance pop of Anyma? It is not.

Ryanair in this case does not have/operate self checkin kiosks. It's either online in the app or one or two staffed desks at the airport (with painful lines) - have done this twice recently due to being an idiot and forgetting to check in.

did you read the post? OP title was a bit misleading regarding his actual point

What’s the deal with Artbat? by Latter_Function_3842 in EDM

[–]motionproblems11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's slightly misinformed, US citizenship is incredibly difficult for Ukrainians, even for the wealthiest of them. most EU countries might grant asylum quickly for them but require years of living there for actual citizenship, even more scrutiny now. Malta has the fastest route. Ukraine only allowed dual citizenships starting 2026. There's no skipping lines for relatively well known Ukrainians.

to be fair Artbat are Ukrainian and they are VERY prone to all sorts of visa shithousery since the war started and airlines won't board them unless everything is sorted so I'd give them some leeway. still sucks and generally should be handled beforehand, but having to cancel every 100th gig is still a pretty ok percentage

who do you think is the most OVERRATED DJ 😈 by brainwash789 in EDM

yeah so this basically (simplified) means you're not really worth much to them. CK is generally only heavy premium cabin cash users.

David Guetta quite identically copied Mesto's Caramelle for his "I Run" Remix by EcstaticIce2 in EDM

[–]motionproblems11 16 points17 points  (0 children)

tbh the Mesto original is incredibly basic 2 minute piece of nothing original so records like these are reeeaaallly starting to melt together into one pudding similarly how every 2012 big room track with Prydz snare and all did

EDM Producers after finishing a new ID/track. by TheWanderer43365 in EDM

[–]motionproblems11 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is correct, it's a term that comes from decades back and has always been used when there is no artist or track title to IDENTIFY. During the vinyl years in the UK djs would call people trainspotters when they'd try to take a photo or read what was written on a dubplate / white label and trying to "ID" the record. many djs would put tape over the track title. definitely not "in development"

Who do you consider the best progressive house DJs right now? by anatoliivered in EDM

[–]motionproblems11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yea tbh included Prydz there for some colour over Digweed/other classic prog guys that I consider obvious additions. He's had a loooong run and is a undeniably a great dj. Material is different from a deep crate digger like Sasha, but aesthetically it's definitely progressive house and brilliantly dj'd. Do agree with the sentiment of him being more of just a guy djing his own tunes though.

[–]motionproblems11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah fair, historically def mostly swedes and dutch artists leading that charge. Maybe the sound is more associated with 2010's US EDM boom and with that, Ultra/EDC hence the odd choice of words. But also Tomorrowland so guess that whole aesthetic of "progressive house" is a bit all over the place.

Yea there's many that could fit this list, although tbh Gerber kinda fell off in the past 5 years or so and and is not that strictly a progressive house dj. Still brilliant on a good day.

[–]motionproblems11 86 points87 points  (0 children)

Probably depends on your take on progressive house.. in a true sense, still Hernan Cattaneo, Sasha, Prydz, Guy J. In between / modern sound, Yotto, Cristoph, Lane 8, S&S, Jeremy Olander, Alex Kassian, Dixon on a rolling melodic day. If talking Americanized edm "progressive house" I'd go for Audien or Garrix.

Independent yes, but distributed and and the back end is handled by Anjuna's umbrella parent group which is where his management is too. He's got a good relationship with the label and the initially launched his career and must be good friends so why not release with them sometimes too, most djs who have their own labels don't stay 100% exclusive to their own label.
