If you’re reading this post, you’ve come across an old and neglected website of mine that was my first attempt at running a website on which I shared electronic music. Though I had to abandon the project after only a couple of months, the idea of writing about music has stuck with me. Thus, I have created a new website: “Electronic Tracks“, very similar to this one except that it posts less frequently but has longer blurbs that include links to other related tracks and artists.

I chose to start this new website because I wanted to distance myself from the misleading term “E.D.M”. Though the phrase can be helpful when generalize a type of music, it tends to be misleading and overgeneralizing. The term “E.D.M” not only implies that electronic music is designed for dancefloors and nothing else (which often seems to imply that it is less artistic than other forms of music), it also groups together the diverse categories that range from trance to deep house to glitch hop. Though genres are completely irrelevant to quality, they are useful when classifying music. If “E.D.M” is considered a genre, then it encompasses a scale unimaginably broad is is effectively useless for classification.

Anyways, if you are interested/ have some time, check out Electronic Tracks for some (hopefully) fresh and interesting music and commentary. The website also features a youtube playlist and DJ mixes are occasionally posted. Thanks for reading!
