    Flume dropped two projects this year that are better than a ton of albums in other genres

    And they're just big compilations of old music from him

    Oh s*** sry lol will do. I literally thiught drops & dub wobbles were out of style & noone does that anymore

    Gotta look at the right sub genres

    I can give a playlist, or even a few if I include some i follow

    Wook bass, space bass, left field bass, that stuff will have weird drops but plenty of wubz. Of the trees and g Jones do it really well to this day. Shades leans into drops hard but industrial synths over wobbling ones

    EDM’s peak was 2017-2020 before Covid, everyone was either popping off or just breaking through into major popularity. It’s why Subtronics can do a set like he just did at Lost lands lol

    2017-2020?

    I would say 2011 - 2017 and most specifically 2015 -2017

    Although ineffable truth and htif did come out later

    I feel it's not right to call the peak of the 2010s for it to be long after Halloween mixes died, and not including the mega albums such as peace is the mission, nova, skin, or really even just after edm dominated the radio the most and bled into other genres.

    I want to say that year where we had stuff like lean on and say it/never be like you being blasted on the radio to death must be part of the peak

    Plus the odd ball hits like high you are remix, hellifornia, gud vibrations, skirt renolds, spaceboss, Krabby patty formula, face shopping, street, pay for what, roll up, any troyboi song this era, etc etc gotta be looked at

    I guess by peak I meant more so in amount of live entertainment options to enjoy EDM. I could go to 3-4 shows a week every week and I just don’t remember it being like that earlier in the decade but maybe I’m wrong

    I guess by peak I meant more so in amount of live entertainment options to enjoy EDM. I could go to 3-4 shows a week every week and I just don’t remember it being like that earlier in the decade but maybe I’m wrong

    2015 - 2017 I was consistently going to 4-6 shows a week basically every week across like 5 venues and 2 warehouses in my city (how I made money) and an assload of shows were sold out, even for artists you'd think are small time or have like 1 hit max, I saw the floozies 4 times during this all sold out and they were never "big" like griz or anyone like that, and they aren't even the best example, every time nghtmre would come it was sold out too

    And I never went to any arena sets either. I've been told electric forest in those years were prime as well but I only went in 16, very often hear people say it fell off after 17

    I never even really traveled for edm shows either, this was all in a city that's not even really a major one
