thinking of going full time into making dance music. Heard I won't make it without getting approval from the gate keepers of the music industry. Is this true? Even if I'm pretty good? This is something that's more fun for me than work.

Everyone and their mum wants to be an EDM DJ. I don't even think the live performance part requires that much technical skill your main job is just putting on a good show. Do you have marketability?

[Anonymous No.15212616]

It won’t work.

I make edm and it's just for fun. I wouldnt expect making money. But all you need is one recognized artist to say check out your shit and you are in. Try getting your music into cinema or anime and you can increase your chances. The music on it's own is hard to sell, but if you have video to go with it you increase your marketability

Do it for the love of music not to make money as this industry is totally over saturated
Also edm is dying a slow death, consider making techno(the next big dance boom) or even just house or tech house.

The time where you can make real money with electronic music is over. It's all just a show now and you will never get in without the looks/connections

probably the best way to spend your parents money, rather than building a business. absolute genius.

Some truth to this too, if op was good he would say “even if I’m good?” Rather than leading in with weak language

If you do it, learn digital marketing and sell your music only like a product. Don't sit around and wait until some boomer music manager "discovers" your music or some shit like that. Market yourself online, build an big online community/fanbase and afterwards you can contact labels/promotors if your shit gets too hard to handle. DIY goes a long way and you'll learn a ton. It's like building a business anon.

I'm sure the women love you

You faggots are so unbelievably pathetic. No one cares about your shitty wanna be deadmau5 project with terrible mixing and complete lack of melody and motif. Fuck off to Plebbit with this gay shit.

DJ/Producer here. You won't succeed by having talent and making good tracks. It's all about knowing the right people. The music industry sucks and everyone at the top knows who everyone is. They're pretty much all backstabbers and asskissers.

Korns frontman Brian Welch famously said the music industry can make you feel like a prostitute.

There's a million other kids that are also 'pretty good' and are trying to make it in the EDM business tho, unless you have something unique about you to differentiate you from all the other kids you have pretty much zero chance of making it.

Make good music and play the underground. Unless you just want to make shitty copypaste samplings and yell into a microphone at the mainstage in large festivals if thats the case then fuck off and fail

Techno? Are you retarded or 50+ years?

[Anonymous No.15216706]

What is EDM? Like Big Room House or whatever? From my experience rave music has had a bunch of different incarnations since the 80s but theres no wikipedia article for "rave" music.

Dnb was gonna be the next big hit, dubstep stole the spotlight(God damn normies) dubstep was a weed smoking ragga vibe music in 2006.
Then became 'rave hybrid trap pop whatever fuk u u'll listen anyways coz your retarded' genre. It was hard finding good dub before Skrillex n now it's impossible and I give up because of that ego faggots self destruction skills.

Edm. Electronic dance music. A blanket term for everything modern thats not country/rock/rap

Techno is indeed the next big boom every since 2016 cuz its "cool" and "underground". You'll need need to have a female as the "face", dj, and social media brand while you ghost-produce the beats at home. Pic related- Amelie Lens with almost 1MM followers.
