Feeding The Monkey....

[bassbum]

I burn through albums so fast these days I'm finding it hard to feed my musical addition. I just want to feel inspired one more time to fuel one more track. I'm sure you production heads know the felling.

If you guys could recommend a album that you thought had some original ideas and/or inspired you. I'm not picky about genres at all as long is its EDM.

I really need some time fillers until I go back to college in September.

great idea for a thread though, man. Could use some idea generating tunes to listen to!

Listened to three new albums this week: Phaeleh - Tides, Pretty Lights - A Colour Map of the Sun & Empire of The Sun - Ice on the Dune. Three completely different genres but I think all of them are pretty awesome in their own way.

I seriously thought this was going to be a drug thread... Color me disappointed.

For some reason this thead made me really want to hear some Flaming Lips - Yoshimi... not EDM... but electronic... and mind blowing.

I was pretty disappointed with pretty lights' colour map of the sun tbh. All of the songs sound the same and are very monotonous. He seems to have lost his flare from making 100s of tunes. Like think back to the days of Finally Moving, Wrong Platform, Keep Em Bouncing, How We Do, Hot Like Sauce, Almost Familiar - those tunes had energy and novelty and flare to them. Now it's just the same male jazz/soul vocals in every track.

There might not be as much flare simply because he recorded everything and sampled nothing idk, I get what you mean though... maybe the samples added a little magic

This is why you you are lacking inspiration...

[bassbum]

Hutyluty, nice list, I'm going to get on itunes with that.

I know what your saying but I listen to a lot of weird electronic stuff as-well. It's just I have always been into the art of what makes a good dance floor track since the first time I went to a club.

[Evansmith]

Ulver - Perdition City.

Exactly there is plently of non electronic dance music, try taking inspiration from that and you might make an exceptionally good dance floor track

[3rdeye]

man check out LuLu Rouge, amazing music

[Samuel_L_Damnson]

Bat for lashes - Two suns. (its not dance music but i always listen to it for inspiration.
Its brilliantly written and its just pleasant.
Her new album, the haunted man is actually dance music and thats amazingly produced its just not as brilliant.

You might also like ESKMO's self titled album, that will probabbly inspire you to use strange samples in ways you wouldnt usually.
some of the vocals can be a little cheesy but it dosent bother me.

[OfficialDAPT]

there's a new Pauly D track that came out that is rlly good............

but seriously Kromestar - Bipolar
