oh man, I'm 22 and I still remember when I listened most of these tracks every day when I was 15-18...it's so sad this genre is dying.... but it never got better. Feel so old right now.
Kinda yes and no. When you're really keep track of the scene then you'll know that there are still plenty of producers that make edm like this. It's not dying... It's not mainstream anymore.
@@InfiniteSpaze not even like this really, this is more Bubblegum EDM. These days people enjoy a lot more Riddim, Deep House, and other specific Subgenres
@InfiniteSpaze. Truth is I've lost track with the scene but it's also what in the start made many of us devote our lives to music. Can you name a few great producers continuing progressive house right now?
"Dont you worry child" is like the pinnacle of the EDM, that song it just art, can get tired of it and it always take me back to the days it came out. For me, best song ever.
Some people know all of this crap artists and think they know ElectronicDanceMusic. But if you really know EDM you have to say that most of Techno, Goa, D´n´B and Psy DJ´s and Producer are way better.
I think 2006 - 2010 :) Today's EDM sounds one like other... I thought that almost all is the same artist in this list, first minutes was almost the same :)
The list is amazing, but I would add: Red lights - Tiësto The nights - Avicii Wake me up - Avicii Waiting for love - Avicii Deadmau5 - Ghosts and stuff David Guetta - Sexy bitch Calvin Harris - Feel so close Calvin Harris - Outside Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike - Madness
Martin Garrix - High on life Deadmau5 - Raise your weapon Lost Frequencies - Are you with me Calvin Harris - Feel so close David Guetta - BAD Avicii - The Days Knife party - Bonfire Bingo players - Rattle Skrillex - Scary monsters and nice sprites
@@benz5843 High on Life is too new to really count as the Golden Age, but I do agree that Garrix is one of the last ones that has managed to carry Golden Age style EDM through to the present
Gongrats🎊🎉🎊 but 2 questions) are you doing all this alone? And are you a boy or girl? I'm subscribing you since 50-60k , and always it was interesting to know
Even dubstep is still alive and we (UK) created that years ago... Must've been the late/early 90s that started being produced... It didn't die, it just progressed in sound. I prefer old 90s/2000s DS compared to the Skrillex era however
yes dude i love where Monstercat and Disciple and Bitbird are at the moment. I love all the new subgenres. EDM is way better today, except for the mainstream garbage.
I don't think that makes you a bitter old person because it's actually sort of an objective fact. There were actually a lot of qualities to the tracks produced during this era which, in a musical sense, make it superior to a majority of the electronic music produced these days. Better use of layering and chord progression, composers who actually understood how to apply music theory and write interesting melodies, the culture surrounding the music... it was all a lot better back then than it is now. Not really sure why it went the direction it did tbh
@@n1thmusic229 It slowly died from 2017 onwards, because of the rise of Future Bass :( then Slap House came during the pandemic. 2015-2016 was the last we saw of awesome Progressive House tracks (c/o Revealed Recordings)
Are you trying to make me cry? Because you succeeded... Man I wish I was old enough to go to festivals in the 2010-2014 era. I was only 14-17 at the time. Now that I am 22, all i hear is riddim and bass music. Not that I have a problem with it (except riddim) but I had a more emotional connection with this more than anything...
Missed: David Guetta - Titanium Avicii - Wake Me Up John Martin - Anywhere for U Calvin Harris - Sweet Nothing Skrillex - Bangarang Showtek - Booyah Steve Aoki - Booneless Swedish House Mafia - Greyhound Nicky Romero - Toulouse DVBBS & Borgeous - Tsunami DJ Snake & Major Lazer - Lean On Zedd - Clarity Alesso - Years
2011 and 2012 were the most glorious moments in EDM history, in my opinion. I still remember the incredible set SMH put off at Tomorrowland. I'm crying now.
Jelle Van Brandt and honestly went downhill after 2016 too many people go to these raves and a lot of them are only going for the drugs I’ve honestly gone to some of these events sober just because I love the music it’s not the same though plur is dying
I knew the Song ''Levels'' basically throughout my entire life so far and I Always liked it, but I never knew it was by Avicii and had this name. I always thought it would just be called ''sometimes'', as I once recorded it from the Radio and always listened to it this way. Thanks you so much for telling me the real name❤️ Btw I realised throughout the Video how many EDM Songs I already knew and loved without knowing they were actual EDM and not just popmusic or whatever I assumed... 100% great Video, 100% worth watching (at least for me)
@@fennekinlovers1964 i dont think hate. Future bass was already in EDM scene before it was gotten popular, mainstream DJs on his reason idk. I think not hate but criticizm on future bass artist for jumping to it cuz its easy and trendy. Mainstream DJs like calvin harris, martin, tiesto, etc chase for the money, other reason is that why they left the things they use to make are because of pressure and the recordings they got signed (example martin garrix, nicky romero from spinnin records). They got pressured from the recordings and after the contract expired, they made their own recording to release their own track or other artist. (Thats my view)
@@fennekinlovers1964 of course he has a reason. I have been a long time follower.... He hates ghostproduced Artists He hates radio intended cheesy pop songs which come out with edm artists name on it He loves future bass(u kidding me bro? U haven't watched much if u say he hates future bass) I am more like him and find myself listening to all genres of music.. I am cool with artists experimenting & shit And I hate some mainstream listeners who doesn't give other genres a chance and downright hates them for no praticular reason U can feel it when an artist does a song from their heart vs money motivated songs He gets that. That is what being an OG is...here for the fun & music...not for the business... This guy is somewhat that ... Top edm was the only person who gets that back in the days
Early 10s nostalgia in dance music. When you make a part two please inclode example - changed the way you kiss me and some of his other hits like stay awake and kidstarts. And swedish house mafia save the world. Inna's old hit songs and alexandra stan mr saxobeat and edward maya - stereo love. And some of calvin harris's old stuff from early 10s.
the era of the 2000s was very crazy, with music by Dj Splash, Bass-T and several more in clubs and raves, hahaha and with wide and reflective pants, good times those... you don't think the same?
Bueno al menos dentro del EDM contemporáneo, esto si es lo mejor de lo mejor, pero si ya hablas del EDM donde comenzó todo obviamente esto no es nada... Aún falta aquella época cuando hacían música Scooter o Mauro Piccoto, eso sí era la excelencia en persona
This speaks to high school me on such a spiritual level. Happy there’s some of these guys still throwing these nuggets into their sets. Seeing Alesso in September and Zedd + Eric Prydz at Ezoo long live prog and electro!
I think you should do part 2. You missed tracks like: DV&LM vs Martin Garrix - Tremor Martin Garrix - Pizza SHM - Save The World SHM vs Laidback Luke - Leave The World Behind And more SHM tracks... Oh, and congratulations for your 200K subscribers!
@@MP-is4ee Yeah, and: Martin Garrix & Jay Hardway - Wizard Keane - Silenced By The Night (Alesso Remix) Keane - Sovereign Light Café (Afrojack Remix) Porter Robinson & Mat Zo - Easy Mat Zo - The Sky Porter Robinson & Madeon - Shelter Madeon - Finale
Eurobeat and Hi-NRG are easily my favorite types of EDM, and they've honestly changed my life. They're not really associated with anything in this video. Hi-NRG evolved from Italo Disco in the mid 80s, then Hi-NRG got faster and faster and it evolved into eurobeat in the early 90s. It's solely produced in Italy and only sold to Japan, but everything is sung in English. The BPM is at least 130, there's a big emphasis on the melodies and auto-tune is rarely used. Eurobeat is home to the Super Eurobeat series, which is the biggest CD series in the world with 250 volumes from 1990 to 2018. It's kind of crazy to think that back then if you didn't live in Italy or Japan, you wouldn't have even known the music existed. But it's thanks to the Internet, memes and Initial D that people all over the world know of it. I'm an American who's been heavily into it for a couple years now and it's a gift that keeps on giving.
Check out some stuff of Third Party. They produce some really good progressive house tracks with some trance influences. The best example in their discography might be Northern Lights. Let me know what you think of it :)
@@lmatthewsmusic No , these are electronic music genres , EDM is a term used to define one style of dance music(progressive , big room and future house) in a defined era (2010-2015). Like Calvin Harris said recently: "EDM doesn't have anything in common with the music that I love to do, [..] now I'm making big records with amazing singers that sound like House Music to me" . House Music it's about the groove , It's A body thing, a soul thing It's a spiritual thing EDM was just about the Drop
Tim you were gone too soon. Your music will always be remembered for it's place in the golden age of EDM. Your legacy lives on through the good times and good vibes we all shared.
Listened to these songs when I was in middle school. Damn... the feeling after school when I was online with my friends playing games till our eyes were red af. And when we were chilling, these were the songs we always played. Now 5 years later here I am about to finish high school and decide if I wanna continue my study in Architecture and enter college. Time really flies hehe :') 5 years passed in a blink of an eye
