TRC Playlist: EDM


 As stated in my previous post, I mentioned building some playlists aside from my monthly roundups. Today it'll be the sweet genre of EDM as a whole. Most of these genre playlists will be more long term projects but building a nice playlist of some of my favorites over the years has been quite easy. These playlists will be added to moving forward but the meat & bones will be there at the time of posting.

As someone who not only loves music, I love the effects of sound in general. EDM is the most diverse in terms of variance in sound and frequencies blended perfectly together. My introduction to the genre in depth was probably in 2011. Shortly thereafter I stumbled upon Savant in some forums and he definitely shaped my affinity for the craft. Savant essentially does everything and does it so well that when I got the chance to see him in 2014, he mixed like 40 of his songs into a 15 minute hype fest and was the best show I've been to. When it comes to subgenres, I really enjoy glitch hop as well as drum & bass, so you'll find a good amount of both here. 



More obscure or at least niche of the artists on this playlist are YMCK. They combine chiptune and poppy vocals which are similar to the soundtracks to the Katamari games.

Back to what I was saying regarding my introduction to EDM, 2011-2012 I immersed myself into a bunch of artists and hits that I still enjoy today. Basshunter, Gemini, Klaypex, Tut Tut Child, and Doctor P are all great throwbacks and perfect for this playlist. 




One of the more outlandish additions to this playlist would be a few songs off of Borgores first EP. This one's more for the obnoxiousness of it and honestly they're quite hilarious. I hadn't listened to him much after Decisions but he's got a bunch of material now and different styles as well. Less of that bwomp brap brap brap. 




Anyways there's a lot more to explore than what was mentioned. This was quite an easy playlist to put together once I sat down and thought about my journey through EDM as a whole. More will be added as time goes on and I remember more songs or discover new one's that I enjoy. More so the former as I don't listen to EDM as much these days. 
As always I hope you enjoyed. This is the first of many larger posts albeit this didn't take super long to put together. Future playlists will be more specific to a degree, and consistently added to. I'd just like to be able to write a bit about em so that's what takes the longest.

Peace out!

February Roundup Vol. 2

  Shame, shame, shame! I've been quite lazy on the blog front of things lately but I will always try to post my monthly playlists since I'm always looking for new music. FB posts are still at least a few times a week so there's that. Nevertheless, February had a lot of nice music for me, and it'd be a crime to not share some of em. Worst Party Ever- False Teeth This is that perfect sing along type of emo. I've definitely glanced over Worst Party Ever before and I'm glad I finally listened to them. False Teeth is really great but Road Trip is like, wow factor for me. It's vocally reminiscent of another band that I cannot remember but its right there, agh. Regardless WPE will be a frequent listen for me going forward. For The Win- Crash and Burn For The Win is not super unique per se, as you can draw a lot of influences but that's not to say the music is bad. Crash and Burn is a nice feelsy and vocally wholesome song but I cannot help but internally laugh...

"Da Hell, Man?"

  "Where am I? What's goin' on here?" Sheesh, what laziness on the blog front of things. I've stated in the past that I felt no need to rush any posts, and that since I do this for fun I would only post when I felt I had something worth posting. Not that I haven't had post worthy content, but I've been lacking in posts over here. I love to post on the FB page as I can quickly post a song or a music video, but still. I figured due to my absence here I might as well give general music updates (playlists), and new artists that I've been bopping frequently. One of the playlists that I've been updating the most frequently is the Swancore Inspired Bops Playlist. Tons of great artists take on the great Progressive Post-Hardcore sound that has been developed so well. Resilia is one that captures that sound nicely, and they've got some new content lately although they only have a few songs overall. Silver/Amnesty is an excellent one. One that I've r...

Swancore Inspired Bops

Ah yes, Swancore. I've touched upon it briefly in some of my previous entries but today's post is on a playlist I've had for several weeks now.  S.I.B Playlist Swancore is a self coined genre by musician Will Swan. Widely known for his work in Dance Gavin Dance over the years, he began his record label Blue Swan Records in 2013. Since then, there has been a plethora of bands that have put out really solid material in my opinion. Now, I could easily just copy/paste a bunch of artists that are or were under the Label, but that's too simplistic. This playlist is a mixture of some Swancore bands, as well as other bands that sound similar or take influence from Dance Gavin Dance in general. It's a weird sort of limbo in my head if I overthink it, but I see it like this: Essentially there are artists that sound like either DGD or bands on the Swan Records Label, but are neither. Now, like all of my playlists, this is still a work in progress. Some get added to infrequent...
