Description
1 per Round song, voters vote which they liked best, can talk a bit about the song if we want to but it's not as much a debate as a gamble on taste of voters.
2 Rules:
Not more than 1 by same artist per debater (both debaters can use same artist as other, once but not more).
There should be at least 1 song in the 5 that's a different branch or subgenre within EDM than the others, hybrid EDM poppy tracks can count as the breakaway.
Round 1
Song Name: Turn Left
Artists:
Snavs
WiDE AWAKE
Genre/Subgenre: Trap EDM (tribal trap lean in my opinion)
Song name: Internet Friends
Artist: Knife Party
Just for the starter I thought, this song would be appropriate due to you blocking me.
Enjoy!
Round 2
Song Name: Heads or Tails
Artists:
QUIX
Amba Shepherd
Genre/Subgenre: Trap with Wave vibe (melodic trap or even 'pure trap' it has no strong leaning). Wave refers to the softer, melodic vibe of it where the synths overpower the percussion on the drops.
Epilsepsy Warning The YT vid has lightning and such effects, not direct strobing but it could be a concern. You can just play and look away from screen.
Round 3
Song Name: Bombay Dreams
Artists:
KSHMR
Lost Stories
Genre/Subgenre: Hybrid EDM fused with folk music of India, Electro is the most prominent subgenre within it.
The Indian folk music style is much more North Indian than South Indian, I think it's in particular influenced by the region of Rajasthan.
Round 4
Apologies, I forgot to accredict Kavita Seth for the vocals in the previous Round's song.
==
Song Name: In Your Bones (Chiefs Remix)
Artists:
Crooked Colours
Chiefs
Genre/Subgenre: Trap with Wave vibe. This is a more chill end of the Wave spectrum whereas my Round 2 is a more intense variant of Wave-vibe Trap.
The genres from Pro have been:
Hybrid of Electro and Dubstep EDM with 'robostep' lean (Round 1)
Hybrid of Dubstep and Drum n Bass (AKA drumstep) (Round 2)
Classic Dubstep with very harsh pace/vibe. (Round 3)
Ultimately all three so far are the same overarching subgenre of EDM known as Dubstep, I request 1 song from him that is not fundamentally dubstep as per the rules of the debate.
Song:
Now You're Gone
Artist:
Basshunter
Genre/Subgenre: electro house.
This is an old school throwback.
Round 5
I obviously means Con, not Pro when I saod what I said before. Anyways it's done.
Good match, looking forward to the votes.
Time to slap you with the kind of dubstep I can get behind.
==
Song Name: Tank Girls
Artists:
Apashe
Zitaa
8Er$
Genre/Subgenre: Dubstep, Specifically Glitchstep influence
Artist: Hyper
Song: FCKD
Time to slap you with the kind of dubstep I can get behind.
Slap me hah?
Genre/Subgenre: Dark techno
Pls help get fair votes
bump
How do you know what I like and don't like. However it will be getting removed anyway.
Personally I wouldn’t vote on art based on how popular it is, but it’s your call.
You said: " can talk a bit about the song if we want to" But Ok, will remove
@Nevets
Your vote makes no sense at all even though you voted for me
I was sort of the same until I got into EDM.
I looked at a few, like Crewella, and was not too impressed. But I literally don't have any musical talent or taste, so my opinion is highly invalid.
What did you think of all the other songs?
The quote was from about 2/3rds in, and I understanding your joke.
I encourage people to listen to the song in full. It was meant to be totally taken as a joke. It portrays me as crazy and that quote you referenced was right before the drop kicked in. The song incorporated what EDM musicians call loops which further highlights the craziness.
CON's R1 was a bit sketchy.
-Knife party
- internet friends
-Literally a quote from the vid: "you blocked me on Facebook, and now you are going to die".
-At the same time, CON says that "I thought, this song would be appropriate due to you blocking me."
As said, a bit sketchy.
Good match RationalMadman.
"Tank Girls"
I gave a remix, not the original, in case someone is listening by searching the song, it's the 8Er$ remix of it.
RMM
Typically I only listen to stuff like poprock, alternate, and indie music - I'll give it all a listen though, lol
You may want to vote.
yes five rounds 1 per round
Do we have round five for music or is that just for finishing statements?
I meant from Con, not Pro in my Round 4.
I forgot to mention kavita seth
Yeah they’re pretty cool. My songs are just going to get better, in my opinion.
I love Krewella.
I forgot to switch Points system to winner selection, I hope this doesn't affect who ends up winning or not with different point splits.
