Bass heads and wooks of reddit, I come to you with a simple request. I am looking for 2000s pop flips like these:

Circus- Brittney Spears/ COSTA

https://on.soundcloud.com/

The Sweet Escape -Gwen Stelhani/ COSTA

Dopamine- Tape B

The Way I Are - CYCLOPS

If you know anything that matches this kind of vibe, I’d love to hear it! It also doesn’t HAVE to be a 2000s hit, since there are bangers like these that exist (https://on.soundcloud.com/IOOHBuYNWashZvy8B5). Also, this is my first post I think so what’s up Reddit.

Manu je t'enc*le

Hi. For most of my life I've primarily listened to pop/rock/metal/jazz where metadata fields are easy to delineate. Album artist is what it is, artist is the album artist (plus features), album name, song name and release year are what they are. I've recently begun getting into electronic and DJ music and things seem to be a LOT less cut and dry. A lot of music isn't released as an album. Its a single or a remix or a part of a live set or any number of ways a song can make it into the wild that isn't "on an album".

Artist credit also seems very fuzzy to me. The artist imo should be who composed the music but a lot of times I see the artist is the DJ who mixed the set who may or may not have composed any number of tracks within the set. So like a philosophical difference between composer vs performer. It seems a lot harder to keep metadata straight. Like, is it ideal to use Various Artists as the album artist for these mixes or the DJ that did the set? If VA, how does the DJ get credited? Should I put the artist that composed the music in the composer field and the DJ in the artist field? Help me make it make sense.

Also, finding new music to add to my collection is kinda difficult too because of how electronic music is disseminated. After researching Ishkur's guide, I really like 90s atmospheric jungle and 2000s progressive breaks. How do I even go about looking for music to buy in those genres? With guitar music I just go to Bandcamp and buy the album in flac. Is there a Bandcamp equivalent for electronic music where I can buy current and back catalog music in lossless format and directly support the artists?

I'm sure I'm overthinking a lot of this and that there are ways as yet unknown to me of existing as an electronic music fan who is staunchly opposed to streaming and wants to buy files for a local collection but I'm kinda struggling to find my footing.

Thanks for any advice you can give.

Hey all, I created a directory where you can find and submit events.
This one is built different that all other directories that I know - it lets you filter by proximity, filter by event type, genre or look for a specific artist (!), and see if any of your friends are already going - all in one place. You can also click an artist or DJ name to check their discography or if they're playing or any other events!

I would love to hear your feedback or suggestions.

After toiling for nearly a decade, releasing house tracks under the name Maurice West, Amsterdam-born Maurits Jan Westveen used the COVID lockdown to reinvent his approach to creating music. In 2022, his breakthrough single “Drugs From Amsterdam” introduced the world to the uninhibited and raucous DJ now known as Mau P.

Since then, Mau has established himself as a meticulous party track producer with impeccable taste, his single releases earning cosigns from an enviable array of dance music’s most credible, including Chris Lake and John Summit. 

When Playboy caught up with Mau, he was in his newly-adopted home of Barcelona, where he and his girlfriend, model Julieta Gracia, try to overlap amid mutually booked and busy schedules and where Mau was trying to prepare himself for helming a gauntlet of a summer party season.

Somebody was playing Golden KPop Demon Hunters (dunno the opinions on here, not trying to shill that track or anything anyway) earlier, and listening to it, the slightly distorted bassline at the beginning, after the lyrics come in, kind of had me vibing.

Haven't heard those so much in my usual EDM listening, so I was wondering if anybody has any recommendations for tracks/artists/genres more under the umbrella of EDM proper. I'm pretty sure it would be a great set of music for me to keep me going at my work, especially.

Thanks in advance!

Went to his performance at Treasure Island in San Francisco and was blown away. He’s insanely talented and really knows how to make the whole place come to life. I would absolutely see him again.
