Dance Music: Where are things at?

All these old fckers moaning about it are missing the point. None of it is aimed at us anymore. Let go Derek. Move on. Hide out at Malanga instead.
 
I am so happily surprised the resurgence in drum and bass these days, at least here in USA.

The DnB sets at Ultra Music Festival and Miami Music Week last month had a great turnout, including a pretty packed Sunday night after party. Artists like Wilkinson, Dimension, and Sub Focus seem to be having successful shows across the country. And collaborations with more mainstream names are putting DnB tracks and artists in front of more people.

Normally I give Armin a hard time about his big sets these days (can we say "Bon Jovi"? 🙄) but hearing a bit of DnB in one of his closing tracks on the Ultra mainstage felt pretty amazing.
 
I kinda feel sorry for her tbh. Absolute humiliation in front of thousands. On any human level, that is the ultimate nightmare. And to single her out when what 80-90% of all dance music performance is now fake theatrics seems incredibly unfair.

I got bored of the story very very quickly.
I'm more concerned whether or not Cath my remembers to pick up some broccoli and butter on her way home.
She's an artist*, not a DJ.
Needless to say, Id never heard of her.

*Edit - performer, you are right @The Sun God

I dunno if anyone has heard of udio (audio without the 'a'), but its a generative ai for making music.

Currently really hit and miss, but I was surprised how a non-music person like me could create reasonably sounding stuff quickly.

Its still in infancy, but could imagine in not too many years, DJs instead of just pushing play button *cough david guetta cough*, instead have a real time prompt to react to audience. Eg "bright vocals now", "phat 808 synth" etc.

Like all gen ai stuff at min, it lacks the granularity of control a proper music program with samples and tracks have.

But might be "good enough" for people wanting some random bop music for gym, social media videos etc.

🤷‍♂️ (ps don't shoot the messenger 🤣)

Edit: ps, there a random range of stuff in my above playlists. Some dance type, others not so. The main site has lots of weird stuff. One guy does 1950s style songs about a guy sh*ting his pants in different situations 🤣
