This is pretty good, fam. This sounds like something straight outta Europe (not a diss). I wouldn't think twice if I heard this on the radio. Good sh*t. What equipment/software do you use?

fl studio w various pplug ins

...this is techno.

 

[Da Jungles]

I try but I don't know if I do it well because I never really let anyone hear those tracks. I do have a House beat I made tho that I've let folks hear and they like it.

...this is techno.

it is sort of. The chorus part is techno-ish, but I'd the verse sections aren't.

Most pop music seems to be heavily techno and trance influence these days.

You should check out SBTRKT for a good reference of excellent pop music.

I have never heard of them before, so I checked them out. Ehh.....

I can't really see a 16 year old girl getting into something like that, and that's what I think determines whether pop music is going to be successful or not.

It seems more like sub-pop for hipsters. I would like to appeal to a very mass audience myself. Girls at the clubs, Teenage girls, Frat girls etc...


I appreciate the recommendation.

Lol this shyt sounds like some Jpop x techno shyt. Its cool tho man keep at it. Eventually you'll master it. Pop is where the money is at so do you.

...why would you want to make music to appeal to teenage girls though? I mean, the people you are talking about appealing to have awful taste in music, such people are just fukking retarded. I mean if you just want to make money then fair enough...

Club hopper girls aren't retarded. Many of the teeny bopper girls I knew back then are really successful people now.

I don't think their taste in music defines their intelligence. It does, however, define their level of interest in music. Different people have different levels of interest. Music enthusiasts probably don't like Lady Gaga, but Millions of other people do.

I think it's much more challenging to appeal to the mass market than to appeal to a more Open-minded market of enthusiasts. How can you sell your product to someone within 10 seconds, which is probably the maximum amount of time it takes someone in the mass market to make a judgemtn? its very hard, and very few people, obviously, can create music with that appeal. in contrast, it's much easier to appeal to enthusiast group that is more willing to give "different" music a chance or allow new music forms to "grow on them".

I couldn't have said it better. This is why you can't categorize what kind of music people like based on their backgrounds or ethnicity.


Music is a universal language brehs.

...this is techno.

this is definately not techno breh

 

[Turenne]

this is definately not techno breh

No it definitely was dude.

 

[Cole Cash]

No it definitely was dude.

this would be classified as euro dance pop, or just dance pop

this is not the sounds of tresor, detroit or berlin breh.

not to nitpick, but this song doesnt invoke joey beltram, derrick may and richie hawtin if you catch my drift.

you wouldnt call boom bap trap music just because they are both rooted in hip hop

in other words, it doesnt sound like this
