Me and Electronic Dance Music

I'm really a fan of music. It was high school when I first realized that I am so into music. I listen to different genres and different generations of music. I really don't know about the generations of music but in my own observations it seem that music evolves pretty much every decade. Just like in the early 2010's there's this new era of music called as Electronic Dance Music. It's really hard to describe and classify the variations of EDM but below are the producers who made tracks that captivated me.

1. Skrillex - A Grammy Award winning Record Producer who made Electronic Dance Music to a whole new level. I'm pretty much aware that he is bashed on the Web but I still like his records no matter what. Maybe it's because we have the same orientation. He first loved Metal music when he were younger then eventually moved his interests to EDM. Absolutely, almost the same with my situation.

   I like almost all of the tracks produced by Skrillex but my handpicked favorites are in my SoundCloud set called The Best of Skrillex.
   
2. Zomboy - A Record Producer who admitted that he was inspired by Skrillex but then eventually he earned the respect of the EDM industry. If you enlist his tracks together with the tracks from Skrillex, maybe you won't be able to distinguish who among the two recorded the track currently playing. Their records are really somewhat alike.

   I also like almost all of the tracks produced by Zomboy but what I love the most are those from his EP's. The tracks can be found in my SoundCloud set called The Best of Zomboy.
   
3. Koan Sound - A Dou who produce EDM records. What I love about their records is about the concept of relaxation with groove.

   Here's what I want you to do, put yourself into a state of relaxation (preferably, lying down) then play the tracks from Koan Sound with just a reasonable calm volume. Their tracks can also be played in my SoundCloud set called The Best of Koan Sound.
   
4. Madeon - A 19-year-old Record Producer who was able to make wonderful tracks. Even though he is so much younger than me, he already gained a great respect from me.

   He had made many remixes of tracks but what I like the most are his original works. You can hear my favorite Madeon tracks in my SoundCloud set called The Best of Madeon.
   
5. Killbot - A group of three Record Producers who called themselves Killbot. Their music is somewhat an infused product from Metal music and EDM. Just like what I've said earlier, I also love Metal music. Killbot's genre really sit in between Metal and EDM. That's why I love their tracks.

   Currently, Killbot have a single EP only. Sadly, they didn't publish their tracks in SoundCloud so I was not able to create my own set for them, anyway you can still hear their track samples in Beatport.
   

I listen to EDM tracks usually when I'm with my earphones on the way to the school or with my headphones doing software developments.

New Dubstep EPs according to Koan Sound and Zomboy

I am so glad to hear from Koan Sound and Zomboy that they will be releasing new EPs.

Yesterday (30^th of July), Koan Sound posted in their Facebook Page

Think we just finished the new EP... (finally)

I got very excited upon reading it. Right from the first I heard a track from Koan Sound, they instantly got my curiosity and attention at the same time. Their music is like a meditation soundtrack but with attitude. Listening to any of their tracks will make you feel like meditating and then suddenly you'll hear someone making drumbeats that add groove to the music.

Also, just few hours ago Zomboy replaced his Facebook Page Cover Photo with this

Then I became even more excited. The first time I stumbled upon Zomboy was when I googled "Dubstep like Skrillex" or something like that but I really can't remember the exact phrase. One of the search results said Zomboy. So I read more about it, and upon hearing a track from Zomboy, I said to myself "Wow! this is one great stuff!". And then eventually I became a huge fan. lol

I think I'm gonna have to be stay tuned for these new EPs.
