Here's what Wolfgang Gartner had to say about the Beatport top 10 chart

Wolfgang Gartner recently did an AMA (Ask Me Anything) on Reddit and was asked his opinion on the present Beatport top 10 chart vs. 3-4 years ago. This was his response:

"I can't even listen to it anymore. Like, it will make me fear for the future of humanity if I listen to that top 10 these days. "

For anyone following him on Twitter you would know about his distaste for the current mainstream EDM sound, but it seems he's even less diplomatic about his opinion now than before.

The top 5 EDM music videos of 2013 according to Reddit

The Electronic Music reddit group has put together a solid "best of 2013" list as voted by the 88,000+ strong group. There were a variety of categories including the best LP of 2013 (Disclosure's "Settle), best track of 2013 (Mat Zo's "Lucid Dreams"), and more. But the list that I'd like to share with you is of the more visual kind - here are the top 5 EDM music videos as voted by Reddit:

5. Jon Hopkins - "Open Eye Signal"

4. Disclosure - "When A Fire Starts To Burn"

3. Mat Zo & Porter Robinson - "Easy"

2. Bonobo - "Cirrus"

1. Gesaffelstein - "Pursuit"

Bonus: They obviously forgot to include Kaytranada's official video for "At All":

John OO Fleming answers - "What is Trance?"

John OO Fleming takes on the big question on his Facebook page. ​

"What is Trance personally to me? It’s not a genre. It’s not a word. It’s a feeling. When looking for music, I ignore any form of genre tag attached. I look for hypnotic beats and rhythms. I look for well programmed and arranged sounds that help create this hypnotic feeling."

Good read. ​
