Wut? Why so much division of stuff that's barely different? I have dubstep and all it's mutations in the same playlist as grime and UK garage. I guess I have at least a little bit of stuff from most major EDM genres though so I don't see the need to break it down too much within each.Sonika wrote:Mehlovich wrote:Vinyl: Shit records to the right, nice records to the left.
I find that if you dont really organise your tunes then you actually end up mixing things you wouldnt have thought about.
idk if it would work if I had like thousands of records though.
mp3: playlists! i have about 5 different playlists for dubstep - sub heavy, reggae/dub inspired, chill etc. and 3 different for reggae and one for house and so on...
I definitely do this too! Thought I was the only one
I got:
"Brostep" (with skrillex, etc.)
"Heavy Melodic" (Gemini, Mt. Eden, some Skream/Magnetic Man, some Deadmau5, subscape, etc)
"New Filth" (not sure why this is different from brostep, but I definitely feel it should get its own playlist - it's got stuff like flux pavilion, Skism, and many others)
"Four on the Floor" (favorite electro/house/deep house tracks - covers all the bases from deadmau5 to tiesto to kaskade)
"Old School Filth" (probably my favorite playlist. It's grown so big that I should probably separate it into more playlists - it covers from Skream and Benga to Coki to Digital Mystikz to Pinch to Distance...I could go on)
"Mechanic Filth" (industrial type shit - like some Datsik, Excision, Downlink, Cookie Monsta, etc)

i burn itunes playlists to cds, then save the playlist so i know what to burn when a cd gets too damaged or whatever. it's not great tbh.. my hdd is a mess (i have a folder called 'new tunes' that's about 10 GB i think)

You're actually right...I used to be a big hip hop head, and had the same type of categorizations for hip hop...when I got into dubstep, it was all dubstep and only dubstep, so that's why these playlists are similar. I do have a playlist for dnb, and another one for house, and I am widenining my EDM diversity, but I am still very narrow sighted when it comes to EDM.
