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!

"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

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

November Round Up

Damn I'm late Hey y'all! It's roundup time. Apologies in advance as this'll be a fairly quick post but there's still been a nice rotation of songs this month. Let's jump right into things! Driveways- October Forever (album) Where do I start with this one? Driveways has found a way to blend multiple styles within their own style and make it sound superb. You have elements of pop punk, emo, R&B, and easycore. Songs like Contours and Fifteen Over Five sound like Neck Deep. October Forever sounds just like an A Day To Remember song. Contradictions & Perennials have some nice guitar work and lyrical punch like Tiny Moving Parts. It's hard to not really just love how well they've blended it all together. If you're into the R&B aspect more Sleep Paralysis is also really well put together. Fu Manchu- Evil Eye I'm usually not a big fan of the droning sounds of stoner rock, but Fu Manchu has just the right amount of ene
