It's mind boggling the dude responsible for Disko Rekah and Goat Stare has a label that's releasing something as lackluster as Sicko Cell.

With electronic music, you literally have the capacity to create any sound that your brain can conjure up. That's one of the beauties of it. With a little bit of technical knowledge, you can create sounds that are aesthetically pleasing, get people dancing, and at the same time, are sounds that never existed in the natural world until recently. Dubstep had that spark of enthusiasm for creative sound design (and still does, brostep or deep), but house music crafted almost entirely with stock drum samples and un-altered single oscillator synths, while still entertaining to drunk people on a dance floor, lacks that entirely.

And yes I know that different people have different tastes, and that some people love it. This is the internet and I'm merely expressing my disappointment in this particular direction and why.

I mostly dislike the hype around this, mainstream artists like Radiohead getting into it (even though it sounds good, I still view it as an attempt to remain relevant to new generations), people marketing dubstep, garage, house whatever as "bass music" and so on. At least there's quality grime being pushed again

Can't stand people thinking that Radiohead getting involved with bass music is just some ploy to stay relevant and market records - well no shit they want to stay relevant, but it's not like they're exploiting it for cash or anything like that. Thom Yorke regularly posts mixes and tunes on their site - Burial, Ramadanman, you name it - that he's been listening to and enjoying. If he wants to bring that music to his fans and expose them to good tunes, why shouldn't he? It's more people listening to the good stuff, it's not like he's pushing brostep or something like that.

So everything is ok as long as it's brostep? I'm not saying the man doesn't enjoy this music or whatever, I'm just saying that Radiohead, as well as other mainstream acts, are riding this electronic music hype that's on right now. I guess it's beneficial for both parties involved, but dunno, never really understood bandwagoning.
