More

- snare drum rolls. They've been due a comeback for a while now.
- big distorted warehouse techno

Less

- shite generic house tracks that sound like they were made in 4hrs on a bored afternoon in 1995.
- Pitched down RnB vocals. It's been done.

Less trap more disclosure.

Seriously though, I couldn't say. I'm not digging the whole disco revival at all so less of that. I need more breaks though, yes the amen has made a small comeback but I would like to see that improve in 2013.

When was the last time someone did an electronic/'dance' concept album?

More grime elements / better thought out percussion that really grooves.

Less happiness (lol)

More

- bural
- Garage that's heavily influenced by dub
- 8 bar grime
- Kahn

Less

- of everything to be honest, there's a bit too much music around.

Not enough interesting percussion around for me at the moment, hopefully those generic weak 808s will die out

This seems like the sort of thing that will get boring very quickly because everyone will rinse it. Careful what you wish for.

Kommune1 is very good though.

First one that comes to mind http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M83_(album)
The last 2 M83 albums were concept as well
(The thread says 'electronic', not EDM)

One of my friends just finished his concept album, my albums have loose concepts to them, etc..

Pikachunes Compilation is essentially a concept album, yeah?

I'm just saying it's something that interests me, and I'd like to see more of it

I think The Widdler's album Origin was supposed to be a concept album

More innovation, less imitation.

if outside of grime producers are going to continue to use their greater exposure to appropriate the grime sound rather than bring any of the guys making it through then in 2013 I'd like to see phone videos of them being stripped and robbed, their mums getting slapped and the police telling promoters not to book them.

Surely if they produce grime, they're grime producers.

Appropriation and added innovation is what creates the next generation of music.
