I've just discovered EDM (I know, I'm late). I've looked at some of the shows or raves, are they even called raves? They look insanely fun. Thing is, I'm probably twice everyone's age. My wife doesn't want to go because we are too old. I'm willing to go alone, just to experience it once. Anyone have any recommendations for sites to find a show?

Been trying to expand my music taste recently just need some recommendations!

hi bros/maams,

I don't know shit about EDM to be honest. I am looking for the all time bangers from the 90s-2000s. I am looking for the "Da Rude - Sandstorm" of EDM.

I don't even know if these are "EDM" or when they came out, so humor me. But I like these songs because they fit a certain thing i'm looking for, and i'm trying to find similar songs that are equally as popular to these:

• Robin S - Show Me Love
• The Prodigy - Breathe
• D'Angello & Francis - Blade
• Nic Fanciulli - Set Me Free
• Technotronic - Pump Up The Jam
• Sonique - It feels so good
• Hardwell - Spaceman

I don't know what it is about the Robin S/Sonique/Nic Fanciulli songs, but those vocals add a lot of great effect to the song, and i like that. I want more of it. Instrumentals are cool too, but they need to force some kind of bass face from me (i'm a bass player) through some kind of bass drop/pauses, like the Blade/prodigy/Hardwell songs do. More from these artists is fine too btw, I only know these songs.

The type of EDM I am NOT looking for (I don't know when these came out):

• "Closer" – The Chainsmokers ft. Halsey
• "Something Just Like This" – The Chainsmokers & Coldplay
• "Lean On" – Major Lazer, DJ Snake & MØ
• Chemical Brothers - Hey Boy, Hey Girl (the vocal parts of this song, in particular)
  • Everything else about this song is perfect, The vocals piss me off.
• Calvin harris radio songs
• Clean Bandit radio songs

No disrespect to these artists, but for me, these songs are too annoying to replay. It's not that the singing parts/singers are bad, it's that they just become annoying. I don't know how to explain it better than that, sorry. This is headache inducing music for me.

I want the golden era shit that people know. A little after 2010 is fine, the hardwell song was 2012.

My mans and I met at a festival and we are getting married soon!! I want a beautiful song to walk down the aisle to. I was thinking Interbloom but is that too basic?? Also maybe Dolori by of the trees?? We’re having a very untraditional wedding I just want the song to feel magical. Lmao help me decide friends I know yall won’t let me down! I can’t make a decision to save my life

Looking for something

Really love stuff that sounds like this. A UK mc over some ddd.

I’m trying to expand out of Spotify and SoundCloud algorithms and recommendations, so give me some recommendations or feel free to drop your own music if you think I’ll like it.

This is a bit of an odd request.

My friend is running a TTRPG cyberpunk game, and one of the recurring gangs plays "bad EDM" at all times. That is how the GM described it. We want a playlist of EDM to play during fights with the gang, but nobody at the table knows the genre well enough to create a suitable playlist. We want something that's clearly not great, but also not totally unlistenable because we may be listening to it for an hour or two. Can all y'all help us out? If you don't want to make your musical gripes public, you can DM me.

Every DJ looks the same now (hands in the air, heart sign, press play)
But the second a DJ pulls out a cig and sparks it during a drop = diff breed

Who’s still doing this in 2025? I need to build my playlist strictly around nicotine levels.

I just feel like being sad and want emotional songs so I can mourn my dad. He tried to fight cancer until the end. I miss him and just wanna be sad

I live for soulful/melodic house and similar vibes to music. Would love some recommendations on albums and songs that inspires creativity and emotion. Thanks y'all

Looking to get into electronic music. I listen to most extreme genres of metal but have an appreciation for all types. My moms a metal head as well but I remember her playing the prodigy and an album called trance Atlantic 2 which I liked butvthat and nine inch nails are pretty much all I know though I have dabbled in some portished, sneaker pimps and bjorks more electronic stuff (a note* im not really looking for triphop) I want a heavy sound but bass heavy not necessarily heavy with effects a la sullivan king. Most artist I see recommended for metal heads sound like the later or they’ll throw in some pendulum which i honestly hated. I think I like a genre called hard groove but still feel like it could get heavier. I know industrial seems like the natural progression but again just doesn’t feel like what im looking for. I think I want lest distortion more base but also very danceable.

Sorry for the word vomit…I know what looking for just can’t describe it. Any recommendations appreciated

I am a metal guy since childhood, but I always liked electronic, mainly Daft Punk. I've been listening a lot of Daft Punk recently and I just realized how good this stuff can be. After a quick research on stuff that could be similar, there was deadmau5 and 'Strobe' as a suggestion. (I remembered him from goat simulator lmao). My god this is exactly what I was looking for, for years.

It seems this is OG house or wtv (I don't know shit). I really like the synths as electric instruments, almost guitars, rather than whatever most modern mainstream EDM is (I am sorry but I have no interest in that late 2010ish youtube NCS EDM). The build-up is epic, genious, and the melody, melancholic but uplifting, could easily be in a Melodic Death Metal song.

I also really like the "Synthwave-ish?" aspects of it (again, the synth as electric instruments). In fact I am addicted to a guy called 'Seimuc' who does this Synth-VGM Synthwave so if any of you know something similar,

But yeah, 'Strobe' is peak and I need more. Thanks!!! Sorry for the lack of knowledge.

New to the edm community and wanna listen to some more edm tunes while gaming and streaming and generally existing heres the songs i have so far

House, techno, and trance preferred. Definitely not looking for US dub and Riddim, but UK Dub and bass is cool.

I'm just burned out every lineup looking the same and hearing the same tech house and dubstep tracks played over and over in every set. US preferred but can travel to Canada, Mexico, and South America.

bunch of yall showed me these amazing edm/house/progressive house tracks

in my og post i said i love lyrical house music with deep lyrics and these songs really hit the nail on the head!!! can i have more songs like these please? i am such a sucker for progressive house with female vocals.

tldr: plz send me songs like these songs in this picture.

Hey guys, I had a 10year gap on EDM (I came from Knife Party, Martin Garrix, Porter Robinson, Nicky Romero, Laidback Luke era)

Looking for some of the latest legends?

Please drop below!

I've been playing a music game with my coworkers and a lot of them seem to think they're allergic to EDM. What should I play for them to convince them to give EDM a chance?

Edit: just wanted to say thank you, I didn’t expect this to get so big, but I’m really excited about all the suggestions. I’m going to make a playlist featuring everything that was mentioned here and draw from it for what I play for my coworkers. I’ll edit again with the link to the playlist after I make it in case anyone else wants it.

Looking for recommendations for that special time with the significant other.

I'm making a playlist for a halloween party and I'd love some suggestions for EDM songs that have that spooky vibe or would be fitting for a halloween party!
