Loving this. Who's the speaker?

[@henderickmitchell6941]

Hey this shit track needs to be on my show ASAP. Also thanks for schooling people on the difference between Techno & EDM. Unfortunately though there are some idiots that either still don't get or just don't care due to them still thinking it's all the same. Look me up on Google: Thelonious Funk. Would love to have you on the show...

[@shastaweston]

What is the intro song if I may ask.?

[@DriverKIT]

Okay so Techno is when you got a song, and it is very repetitive...

[@chanceneck8072]

OK man, you've proven your point now, that EDM is lame and embarassing as fuck, but also that modern techno is fucking dissonantic and BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORING!!!!......

[@dotdotdot370]

As the old saying goes: "What's the difference between a rock concert and a techno party? At a rock concert the lights shine onto the stage. At a techno party the lights shine onto the people". If the lights are shining onto the DJ and the crowd are facing the DJ, it is not techno, it is mainstream pop culture, no matter what music you play. At a Sven Vath party in the 90s, the DJ booth was completely boarded up. There was a small slit so he could see us, but we couldn't see him. That was the point. It wasn't about the DJ. The point of techno is people coming together, not giving their energy up to the DJ. The DJ is merely the guide, not the focus. If in a party the DJ is the focus, then that is mainstream values - the opposite of techno culture.

[@ropeburn6684]

Well said. It's exactly like authoritarian power structures vs. modern democratic ones. The DJ is supposed to be a servant of the people, not their king.

[@BrickwallStudios0]

I always saw EDM being more American cultured and Techno being more European. EDM is loud, catchy, uplifting, optimistic, over the top. Techno - Subtle, repetitive, hypnotic, dark.

How can techno djs expect air time when they don't use trampoline?

[@drifter402]

You're really not doing EDM justice. As in, watching this, you could get the impression that this bigroom music is pretty sick but often dark sounding music. The reason that these bigroom tracks are complete shit is that they're all made for people that don't like electornic music. As such, they're all so afraid of people getting bored that every single one of them, without exception sounds like 2 or 3 songs shoved together in a terrible soundcloud mashup. Swap the beat section with the obligatory supersaw section that doens't fit with the other part between 2 of these songs and it's literally impossible to tell that it's a mashup all the original songs sound like bad mashups. That's not even getting into all the stupid fills, cheesy vocals and other annoying bullshit that distracts you from actually dancing or even getting into these atrocities. Playing 2 seconds of these doesn't really show why they're bad.

EDM is a common name of all electronic dance music which techno is part of. Hence, tecno is a genre of EDM. It’s very confusing when comparing techno to it’s own genre as a different style of music. :)

[@drifter402]

Techno tracklist, please?

[@ddRjM]

Ok, for everyone who didn't catch it by now here goes: Techno: Running bass line, deep thump kick almost no lead synth and all focused in the bass progression EDM: Focused on lead Synth and not on the kick bass line.

[@eetuantola2519]

ddRjM listen to aero chord x wolfgang gartener - borneo. thats edm and its not about the synth... ps. all "edm" tracks in this vid are big room house and also techno is a subgenre of edm

And that's why I call it EFM instead of EDM because it's electronic flatulence music LMAO most of the tracks sounds like the keyboard is farting LOL

I just discovered what real techno is from this video.. thank you... I always thought techno was a shitty genre because of those annoying edm songs and all the dumbfucks that think anything electronic is "techno"... but holy shit techno is WAY more intricate than most edm crap nowadays. Can someone give me some legit suggestions aside from those in this video? Aphex twin is my favorite so far.

[@mmmusicfren]

Stating that EDM is electronic dance music is true, but not the point here. EDM became a term associated with this new movement of clueless followers that think that cakes being thrown to their faces is legendary and that David Guetta and Tiesto are musical geniuses.. I honestly never met anyone that appreciated that new style of music that had any sort of musical culture (and often no taste in music in general). Not trying to say that everyone that likes the new type and definition of EDM is like that, but the whole shit train that comes with this new trend is loaded with shitty drugs, rich spoiled kids, fake djs, fake producers, disgusting money scams (paying 150$ and often over to go see some "dj" press play and fake), and the list could go on and on.. Though, I'd pay 150 bucks easy to go see aphex or wouldve paid that to witness a live set from LFO... Rip Mark Bell

[@cacimaci5962]

From what i remember..they were saying the same for the techno in the 90,clueless druggies listen to this,so the point here is once again,the bitter old farts dont like the new music,so pull your head of your ass..you are not better..you are bitter,and yes guetta and tiesto maybe not anymore but they were fucking legendary

[@mikasasukasa4479]

Love techno, it's an absolutely exotic fruit of music. Hella getting techno snob vibes by these videos though which is distasteful as fuck lol.

Electronic Dance Music or EDM for short is just one word... Dance. Sad thing is music stores did not want multiple categories for Dance.

Techno is dark and methodical, that's why i love it

What is the name of the girl dj! at 1:15? Thanks!

[@zootsanchez]

Being smashed in the face with a cake is the best metaphor I can think of for listening to EDM

[@wagnerpmelo000]

man, when the time of the video was on 6:30 and 7:00 ish, I got a bit more of the difference! but I still want to understand more about electronic music in general, because I consider myself as a lay person in electronics, but I'm musician, my instrument is drums and my total influence is the rock music and metal from the 60's, 70's and etc. having the rolling stones, rush and pink floyd as my biggest references. and now, I'm interested in knowing the field of electronics, but I want something with meaning, thoughtfullness, kind of trippy, reflexive and so on. if someone can give me some real good names in the genre of electronics that fits in that kind of "ideology", I'll be thankfull.

[@Nenko_Music]

wanna try Drum n Bass genre for instance. look up for Noisia

[@Nenko_Music]

but you can try Rezz for downtempo electronic music. Try Feed Me too. all these artists are really creative in their own way. But if you want smooth fast tempo trippy style, im nbot sure if Psytrance or Trance Goa has contemproray artists that stepped the game lately, otherwise you can always check on good ol one from the 90's. Besides If u like trippy and slowtempo you have cross genres like Trip Hop which uses a lot of actual real instrument samples and voices, that might be start.

[@SailorBarsoom]

The stuff you play and tell us *THIS IS TECHNO* does have a certain consistency of sound. I don't mean "it all sounds alike" but there's a certain... it's like you can pretty much recognize bluegrass or surf music as soon as you hear it. For one thing, I was noticing a total lack of vocals in the techno. Some of the not techno didn't have vocals either, but none of the techno did... until it did. Ah well, I'm still learning. But I'll watch more. I'm listening to enough of, as far as I can tell, both techno and EDM that it's about time I start learning these things. It's time for the old dog to learn this new trick.

[@beemersandbass]

I thought that EDM stands for Elecronic Dance Music and this term contains techno house garage trance dubstep (proper one not brostep) etc. I'm not correct?

[@TurretMusic]

Honest question here, i'm just gonna speak my mind. Why is techno praised so much? Where is the emotion? It is all extremely similar and very repetitive. (although I do find it interesting, may dive into it someday.) At least EDM has some sort of melody.

[@luisfernando6583]

para mi es facil diferenciar: 1 que el techno te da la sensacion de ser ochentera o noventera ya que el techno tiene mucho existiendo ypor eso doa la pinta de ser antiguo ahun si la rola se creo recientemente. 2 el techno esta echo por capas, capas de sonido que cambian poco a poco ya sea alentando o agiliszando una capa o andar quitando o poniendo otra capa pero de forma pasiva manteniendo casi siempre el mismo ritmo solo que variando un poco para que no sea repetitivo
