Went to raves when they weren't even called that

The term rave first came into use in late 50's Britain as a name for the wild bohemian parties of the time. It was then briefly revived by the mods. It did not come back into fashion until the illegal warehouse party scene in London in the early eighties. ;)

Oh hell yeah! Maybe just not in your neck of the backwoods. Love Parade, MayDay, Nature One, Thunderdome had tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of attendees throughout the 1990s.

If that's the case, I stand corrected. But it is still much more mainstream today. I was just a youngin' back then, too concentrated on Nirvana and AIC ;)

Nothing to do with music.

It was too good of an opportunity to pass up nevertheless :)

OK, I wasn't doing "raves" in the 1940s... I'm not that old. But, initially around here, they weren't initially called raves (in Montreal) until I think the late 1980s.

EDM was more popular in Europe (at least more mainstream) in the 1990s to early 2000s. The chart shows as much as dance hits have gone to the top of the charts throughout most of the 1990s and 2000s). In the US, HipHop ruled the chars through most of the 00s (the 1990s had RnB, Country, Rock, Pop, HipHop but very little dance music) with dance emerging truly in the latter years of the 2000s.

Yeah, I think I just found the reason why so many people and entities seem to think EDM = current American commerical pop EDM...

It's all David Guetta, Avicii, AWOL Nation now instead of Kraftwerk, Front 242, Paul Elstak, Talla 2XLC, Sven Väth... freaking millennials, ruining yet another thing ;)

Applying your logic no one should care to develop for iOS. After all Android has a much larger audience.

Easy answer to that one, develop for both. :p

A lot of bands use Soundcloud as a tool to promote their new music. You can embed the Soundcloud player into Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and other social networks and anyone has access to the song. That's not possible with Apple Music as the links can only be played if you are a subscriber.

Apple Music is much better as a tool for monetising your music though.

This is cool, but how does a remix have 30 songs. When I was a young fool and DJ'ed, I had three turntables and could therefore mix up to three. But usually I had song that I played and then just layered in sound from 1 other. The third was meant for beat mixing in the next song. Unless we are talking about doing a 30 or 60 minute recording, the 30 song remix seems amazing for a 3 to 10 minute song.

You should look into the legal battles of De La Souls first album and the ridiculous amount of samples they used for each song. Usually producers aren't limited by the number of turntables they have. What your talking about is just mixing, mixing in a producing sense is all the samples dug up.

A remixer may use samples from tracks made by other artists whether as stems provided by the other artists themselves or as rips from existing commercially available recordings. So the number of samples to be used can be quite a number as the article points out. This I've got to see; how their software would be able to point out which parts come from which recordings.
 
What makes a DJ and "Underground" DJ? Why wouldn't they just say DJ Remixes and Mashups? Are they so untalented that they have to take real DJ mixes and then remix them? Are these Underground DJs the ones that walk out onto stage with a MacBook and press play on an iTunes playlist and consider themselves artists?
 
EDM and certainly Martin Garrix is definitely not underground, its commercial manufactured rubbish

True underground music is tech, deep & chunky and much more sophisticated

Also, the original mix of M/A/R/R/S - Pump Up the Volume (to give a very popular track example) sampled over 26 other tracks: http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/aug12/articles/classic-tracks-0812.htm

Musicianship takes skills and time to develop. Just curious: what musical instrument do you play?

Good music never becomes irrelevant: Bach, Beethoven, Gershwin, Miles Davis, Charlie Parker, the Eagles, Pink Floyd, The Beatles, ... It does not mean you will 'like' them. But that is irrelevant.
