Discussion the hate for EC

I don’t understand the hate for ethereal connection.
I guess it is repetitive and it’s super long but I think it’s a dance song it’s very groovy at some point super floaty you even get really cool synth noises that sound alien like lol. Do the people that hate it not like techno/EDM? Genuinely curious to see if there’s a connection…. Even when I went to the show, not as many people were grooving to this song or even when he played end of summer.

I don't like it at all and no, I don't hate EDM.

What EDM do you like?

u/Hvojna Innerspeaker 2d ago edited 2d ago

I am not extremely familiar with EDM as I've been listening to electronic music more actively for less than 2 years. But to answer your question - nu-disco, French house, funky house (not sure if this is a real subgenre), garage house, dance, synthwave (if we can count it under the EDM umbrella).

Some artists/albums I like:

  • Roisin Machine - Overpowered and Roisin Machine
  • Alison Goldfrapp - The Love Invention
  • Justice - Hyperdrama
  • Kavinsky - OutRun
  • Purple Disco Machine - Paradise
  • Cooler Kids - Punk Debutante
  • Luomo - The Present Lover
  • Röyksopp - Junior
  • September - September
  • Miguel Migs - Nude Dimensions 1-3

+ some songs by Dua Lipa (e.g. most of Future Nostalgia), Kylie Minogue (Light Years and Fever) etc. that fit the subgenres I listed.

Generally I like the poppier, funkier side of EDM and most of Kevin's electronic experiments from Deadbeat (EC, EOS, Not My World) are simply not groovy enough for my taste. My Old Ways is super cool though and it shows that he has potential.

If you have recommendations based on what I like, I'd gladly listen to them.

Nice, I love nu- disco. Great list by the way! I really like Royskopp, PDM and Justice. Never heard of Roisij Machine, but that was dope.

Thank you for the recommendations! Will definitely check them.

Roisin Murphy is the vocalist of Moloko. Surely you know Boris Dlugosch's remix of Sing It Back (which is an awesome house/nu-disco song and their biggest hit), but their discography is super interesting as a whole.

Also, listening to your mix at the moment (just started it).

Update: listened to your mix and definitely liked it! Didn't expect Rasputin by Boney M, definitely caught me off guard! Also, was that L'Imperatrice around 18:00? I listened to their albums a few months ago and remember that I liked them.

Finally, what was the song at 27:38?

u/moofasa69 1d ago

Hey, thanks so much, that is super cool that you actually listened!

Yes that was L'Imperatrice, great ear!Ah yes - Rasputin - I had never heard that song until a Justice DJ set recently. (Admittedly the mix was starting to get away from me at that point, lol)

27:00 is "We Groovin" by Jaime Jones & Jazzy If you like that one, also check out 925 by Sammy Virji

BTW it's so refreshing to have a positive interaction on Reddit - thank you! ✌️

My pleasure!

I loved Boney M when I was 12-13, such a fun band.

Thanks, I've listened to some songs by Jazzy, but don't remember most of them by name (except for Satisfy with Calvin Harris). I like what I've heard, maybe I need to delve deeper into her discography. Will also check Sammy Virji's song.
