When you're condescending and make bad faith arguments, people will find you frustrating. I'm not sure why you want to emulate your grandparents by dismissing younger people's creativity just like they did to you. Open your mind a bit and try not to become the people you hated. Edit: Festivals have never been the beating heart of the techno scene my friend. I'm sorry to break it to you. And again, I've been to good f…

This thread is an artform in itself. Anthropology students will dig it up a thousand years from now and walk away with inadequately-paying degrees.

I’m taking notes

This comment would have be so useful to me if you could have at minimum dropped some breadcrumbs. As an oldster who has only recently gotten into edm, I am clue free on where to begin finding anything underground and mainstream venues suck.

Follow artist socials, they will promote themselves at gigs. Search for your town name + edm genre on soundcloud, that may tell you the names of regular festivals,events and club nights from the set names. Follow said venue's socials, or regularly check their website for upcoming events. Figure out who your local promoters are, & follow their socials also. Go to a youth focused cafe or skate park, look at what event…

In Seattle at least they do posters. Mostly in Cap Hill (the gay area). The super small stuff is generally social only but anything with an actual venue will pop up. 19hz is also a good resource, it's searchable and city specific.

I'm interested in a lot of subculture music, and it really isn't there like it was for the most part. Most families of music seem to have stagnated or regressed. The early 90s gangster rap is definitely superior to mumble rap/emo rap, the 90s IDM/jungle/trance is superior to modern EDM/house/trap and the pop mainstream now is just garbage compared to the the mainstream from the late 80s/90s. Mixing and production are…

Tell me you're out of the loop without telling me you're out of the loop. As someone in my mid 20s, techno music is booming and it has zero EDM/house/trap influences. Everyone my age thinks EDM is cringe, it was a trend of 10 years ago. Go to actually underground sound clubs if you know where they are. I'm guessing you don't, because you're showing how ignorant you are of the scene. Some recently released tracks I pi…

you need to relax dude

Some excellent contemporary Jungle producers, if anyone wants recommendations: Dead Man's Chest, Tim Reaper, Equinox and Coco Bryce. These lads are producing bangers better, or on par, with the producers of the late 80s and 90s.

I'm looking for the more Ragga heavy melodic dirty sounding jungle a la Krinjah's Return or Hold Yuh remix. Any new people on that sound?

I don't track it, but that's good stuff
