.. be able to.....

+ have a unique personal sound...not necessarily a new genre, but a new way of combining things/innovative techniques

+ be expertly versed in their daw, midi control and (at least minimal) music theory

+ know how to master, or at the very least get their tracks prepped properly for a pro mastering

+ promote themselves, on the web and in real life

+ play live

+ be willing to give up all else for at least a few years

+ be willing to practice their craft tirelessly...you need about 10,000 hours into any activity to master it

+be humble and willing to learn, even when on 'top'



did i forget anything?

though im not a huge fan, if i had to think of and artist as a model of this future route, it would be skrillex...look at him now

I would agree with all of this, except, how is it any different from now?

If I was thinking future, it would be the ability to integrate A/V into their production process, creating one's own fractals/visuals as part of the process..

yeh, the future in pretty much now, didnt mean the diiiiiistant future LOL

av, yes that should be added....been wanting to get into 3D mapping , but, only so many hours in the day....

sounds about right, livin the future life

.............................................................................dddope!

they fly to their gigs by jetpack.

two words: cyborg groupies.

one word: win.

no live shows, it'll be like webcasts with everyone hooked up to like a cow-milking machine thing.....patenting that right now

Honestly, i think the future live show will have no hardware controller, that we will perform our live set with our movement, the crowds movements and energy levels, and the producer will become the glue for a more open experience...

im loving this post it is a nice heads up on the beginning steps of taking skill serious

I realy dont see what any of that has to do with the future or even present... i mean sure its like that and it will be in the future, but doesnt this apply to pretty much any music not just edm, not just now. In fact u can scratch the word web, change a few words like sound and u could be talkin about a painter.

On the other hand i have nothing about skrillex but there is probably many more ppl that deserve to be mentioned, some of them even from this board, that fit the description u posted just as much as skrillex if not even more, just their sound isnt so mainstream. No dis to skrillex though, he is weird and his songs dont appeal to me but he does know how to produce.

@ShifeQ... they better think of some smart and cool controls for those movement operators cause i dont wanna be jumpin around like a monkey and waving my arms on the stage just to get my ableton goin... i mean u know what i mean... some of those controls can look stupid and most of us would rather just twist some knobs then make an ass out of ourselves, but i guess ppl making those things know that.

well im liking skrillex's music less and less, but he is showing that a bedroom producer can take it to the worldwide stage...its possible....

i think he's paving the way for more to follow...and hes such a cute lil guy, cant help but like him as a person...lol

he seems like a good guy, humble.....

Duuuuude, Im wanna make a max/msp punching bag now.... Hella punch out my beats. Then flex the guns for the ladies.... lolll. Man, I was getting all into know twisting back in the day, but its not quite as energy inducing.

Its beeing done and Ive been loving this kids top notch high end production! 15 years old

ok freecrush this is proof that "quality" is highly subjective, and modding user tracks up here would mostly be a matter of taste

to me personally, that ^^^ is such garbage, sounds like a crappy jumble of stabs and fx, vox offtime, imo its fuct...no groove, no bounce, no 'structure' as you mentioned in the other thread

but like i said....one opinion

Again i dont wanna be like aghh i m against skrillex, but cant see how what he accomplished is any different from the likes of paul van dyke or hell even chemical brothers or moby (and i like those last 2 a lot more then skrillex but that is just personal opinion)... pretty much ever edm producer is/has been a bedroom producers... actualy skrillex having a band or something like that be4 his skrillex persona is actually not that bedroom at all.

And yeah that dude with those bionic controllers, that is exactly how i never wanna look like when performing.

See all of this motion performers look like some weirdos,like some copperfield magicians twisting like morrons. i cant see this beeing the future... i m sure more ppl feel like me... dancing and moving is for dancers and hot girls, dudes just gotta slam on drums/guitar/knobs imo.

Couldn't agree with you more, haha

well that was just theory about skrillex ...the 'effect' i suppose still remains to be seen...pretty safe to say that he has made a bigger, broader impact than say moby or chem bros (way better imo as well)...but..lol...w/e....one could say that they paved the way for him....

FACT though is those midi suits are......eh....lame.....(was gonna say gay, bu ti dont want to offend any gays, lol)

and thats fine as well and Im not dissing you, but keep in mind if this was dropped at an event, you would get a few sways.


if this was dropped, you could see thousands of people bruck out! But you have to leave the bedroom to experience this stuff.



so maybe the rest of the EDM scene is crazy/nuts/trendy and you and the other few purest should in fact just stay here on GHF scratching each others back maximizing on SC comments. (not saying people who post here are only scratching backs, but it seams like thst is the case at the present moment on GHF)

making more ignorant assumptions, do you even see any links in my sig?

take a look at your own...project much?
