I can hack/design for hours without even knowing it while listening to Kap Slap. It also helps you run a 5K faster than you might have originally imagined :) Anyone who likes remixes/house/dubstep I'd encourage you check it out! The spring break mix is an hour long and it's full of goodies. http://soundcloud.com/kapslap/kap-slap-spring-break-mix p.s. I'm only evangelizing this stuff so much because honestly if I set…

How/why has bargain-basement recycled eurotrance from 15 years ago become the latest thing amongst american youth? As someone living in the south of the UK this is one of the strangest and most unexpected developments in global popular music in recent years. I'm sorry if this sounds snobbish but I genuinely want/need to understand this, and I would appreciate any opinions or theories from americans as to how/why this…

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Are you not a hacker?

Not in Flash. If it were an HTML5 application I'd have been breaking it apart.

TLDR: The combination is using the first of each sound type

Method:

1. grabbed the .swf file (Chrome Developer Tools -> Network -> one of the 6 .swf files)

2. used the incredible tools to extract and disassemble from https://github.com/CyberShadow/RABCDAsm

3. with luck came across \incredibox-0\incredibox_fla\MainTimeline.class.asasm lines 24827-24840

Took me longer to write this post than to figure it out, but, I am guessing I got lucky. I only decided to attempt checking this out as I started playing around with the RABCDAsm couple hours ago. I've little to no idea how to read those .asasm files yet, but I'm learning more about them.

I feel that Kap-Slap is too close what you hear to radio on every day. For working there is nothing better than repeating, simple melodies and patterns. What I consider to be a good song is something that you can work along with and not even notice it. This can be classical (Arvo Part, Philip Glass), but I often find that electronical music with a baseline beat is more mellow and fluid. Here are my recommendations (s…

This was really great stuff. I'd appreciate similar recommendations!

Great recommendation! I've been programming to http://soundcloud.com/jaytechmusic a lot recently. 2 hours of buttery biscuit bass delivered monthly every month for the past four years.

Trying to be not petty but I posted this weeks ago and nobody really cared: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3804637 In any case, I really like how they explain how to user can actually use it. I dont know what everyone else thinks, but I feel like everyone in the age braket 18-30 wants to be a dj at a party.

After coming across Incredibox recently, I saw your post and decided not to repost. Guess I should've thrown my hat into the marketing ring...

There's a viral barrier that needs to be breached for things to hit the front page, and then the views shoot up from there.

In their defense, today's euro-trash is slightly better produced which makes it a little(!) more bearable.

E.g. they largely got rid of the infamous "scooter kickdrum" (aka "poland kick") that was the hallmark of the 90s standard template.

Still I agree. It's often a little embarrassing when americans suggest electronic music these days (for us euros that is - we should really pay more attention to what material we leak overseas...).
