I love listening to SBTRKT when I'm just chillin out playing video games or something, its awesome music to just relax to. Not sure how it'll translate in a live setting but I'm intersted to see if it'll be more up-tempo.
This makes no sense either. Are we talking about the same people?
Did I not make sense? I just view SBTRKT as a more low-key groove type EDM act. It's not a an act I'd go out busting moves to all night as the music just doesn't have the tempo for it, in my opinion.

hmmm I would be interested in what tempo you are looking for...SBTRKT was one of the best dance parties all of Coachella for me
People arent goin to dance to FlyLo? Are you kidding me? Im gonna be grooving my fcking ass off. A lot of other people will be too
The issue with this is the majority of people (casual music fans) looking for an EDM act to dance to FlyLo and SBTRKT aren't very accesible. They don't make the instantly dance-floor ready stuff like Major Lazer, Kaskade, Tiesto, etc.

Alot of it is very repetitive and down tempo.
this guy gets it.
i dont want to dance the "stand still" at my dance party latenight shows. swaying back and forth aint gonna cut it either.
That is the top viewed FlyLo video on youtube. it sounds like something i would put on drinking a scotch and reading a magazine. if i did heroin, i might consider this dance music.
and i like the music. its tranquil, relaxing, has a pleasant beat - but come on....
top viewed for SBTRKT. again, good song, i like it too - but its not dance. i hope it takes on some new life in a live setting.

And I will counter with this video from Moogfest. The whole show's not like that. I just like to post it. I get what you are saying on it being two different kinds of dancing that are going on.
Posters like idio[t] are right to some extent. SBTRKT and Flylo don't play the same TYPE of dance music as a Girl Talk or Skrillex. Like idio[t] said, he wants a bunch of inebriated college girls around him to jerk off his weiner with their @$$es like this/my generation is accustomed to. Any other kind of dancing will not suffice for LN.
I'll be over at SBTRKT enjoying a nice tune while idio[t] is grabbing @$$es over at Skrillex. No skin off my back.

If you're talking about an act and how danceable/un-danceable their music is you should make it clear if you have seen them live or not.
If you haven't seen a specific act live, and are talking about how the dancing will be at their set, but have never been to one of those sets before I think it should be pointed out. Listening to a few songs or an album does not mean you know how their live show is. Just an example from outside of the EDM genre of what I mean.....I listened to The Felice Brothers debut album and it's pretty slow and folksy sounding but when I saw them live it sounded NOTHING like the album. Lots more energy and dancing and boot-stomping and stuff like that.
So is there anyone who is arguing that a certain artist doesn't sound "dance-worthy" who hasn't actually seen that artist live?

Try to keep it a bit more civil dude. Idio can think what he wants and you can think what you want. No need for the childish name calling and insults.

i hope that one day, i will see the light and embrace your world view.
Cool. My post wasn't directed at anyone in particular. I just wanted it to be clear since nothing annoys me more than somebody saying "It will be like this" when they don't have any personal experience lol
it was moody. it was atmospheric. it was a head nodding throw-down.
Ill agree that fly-lo isnt a start to finish dance party. Its fun its a good time, there will be dancey parts, but I agree theres alot of head nodding. SBTRKT I am confused on though.
Idio - what would you're definition of "dance-able" be? Examples please. (from EDM artists)
I can't speak for him but I understand where he is coming from...i'd consider Knife Party, Skrillex, Bassnectar, PL, Avicii, etc more along the lines of "rave dance party music" than I would FlyLo, SBTRKT, etc.
They are worlds apart. They may all be electronic but that's like comparing Pantera to Dave Matthews just because they're both rock groups.
I understand both sides of the argument. Watching most videos of SBTRKT and FLYLO live shows you see people dancing safely by swaying or doing a controlled fist pump while at mainstream EDM shows such as Swedish House Mafia or Skrillex its people going crazy. Personally i think that it's more the state of mind people are in during the show. If a mainstream DJ dropped Wildfire or Do the Astral Plane that crowd would still be going insane. I use SBTRKT's set at Coach as an example because the audience is going into the show expecting to dance.

I've been listening to EDM for roughly 25 years. As a result, I have a soft spot for easily danceable house music. Pretty much all your standard DJ's are okay with me - Daft Punk (a name thrown around here all the time) was definitely in my top 10 concerts. But I'd be psyched for a Pretty Lights, maybe some Carl Cox? Tiesto puts on a fun show. Orbital would have been a nice addition, since they have a new album out.
Aside from trying to rile up the easily riled, my point is that much of the EDM on the bill utilizes complex beats and layers to achieve a certain effect and mood. that's just not want i'm looking for at 2 am. im picturing the deadmou5 set a few years back. people sprawled WAY back from the tent. I dont see that happening with FlyLo/SBwhatever
What would really excite me is a industrial dance tent - but that would never, ever happen.
i would prefer to keep as much dubstep as far away from the farm as possible. because of skrillex every dumb frat guy wannabe in my town is now tagging along on my caravan. the sanctity of roo is being slightly ruined with all these morons who go to shows with the slogan ''rage, rest, repeat". people need to stop caring about getting so fucked up at shows and enjoy the goddam music. this coming from me means something cause goddam if i don't like getting fucked up at shows, but when that becomes the purpose of buying a ticket for something (usually ends up being a dubstep show) that shit just really needs to stop. I'm so sad that my generation will forever be attributed to dubstep and some dumb bitch named mollie. I'm sorry, end rant.

FlyLo has some wonky grooves but by today's standards SBTRKT is pretty accessible. The thing I don't really get it why you even started on this? You have the dumbed down mainstream friendly Skrillex show, but also have some options for those who don't just want to "rage their faces off" but still get down for late night.

You should have seen the crowd Bassnectar attracted last year. I was a volunteer assigned to working the VIP/access deck, so this picture is from the very BACK of the tent, an hour before the show even started. The crowd went all the way back to the shop area.
It was dangerous, to be honest. I had to help pull this guy who was seizing out of the crowd. It took 45 minutes for the EMTs to get through that crowd.
But I'll be damned if that wasn't a GREAT, danceable show.

You sound frustrated. It'll be ok. There's more than plenty of stuff on the lineup this year where those obnoxious morons won't even think of going to. There is every year. I love acts like Skrillex and Mac Miller that isolate and quarantine those assholes away from the stuff I get to enjoy.
Volta, That's the point I was getting at with my rant. This dubstep scene has nothing to do with good music. It's all about getting quacked up and trying to grind on some quacked up college girls. The demand for this type of music discourages good EDM. However, I am certainly satisfied with the selection outside of Skrillex this year.
for you early to mid 20's kids in here, dont worry. your generation certainly didnt invent molly and you wont be remembered for dubstep anymore than mine will be for drum and bass.
the majority of people out of your generation probably have never heard the term "dubstep". if i asked the people in my office, they would look at me like my head was on fire.
dubstep is no more about getting fucked up than any other kind of music. you associate it with people being out of their minds, but it isnt a requirement.
So I think the real question is will Radiohead ruin Bonnaroo AGAIN or will someone else take their place?
