| Skream's had his say on the contrast of underground dance music and EDM culture.
Days after uploading a cover of The Smiths' 'There Is A Light That Never Goes Out' (which, sadly, has now been removed from SoundCloud) and announcing a residency at XOYO, the Croydon producer spoke to FACT about the separation of dance music.
In relation to Seth Troxler's recent comments about EDM and the underground remaining separate entities, he made it clear how he feels about the former "alienating itself", especially with the amount of money involved.
"I have been involved in EDM, like when I was playing EDC, the big big American festivals. I was a part of it. And, EDM, the whole style of music, I fucking can’t stand it anymore.
"I appreciate a good pop song, and most of it is pop stuff. But it’s carried itself to be so far away from everyone else, it’s almost like an unbelievable world. You see Calvin Harris earning $46m in a year – when you’re talking about money like that, that automatically segregates it from everything else."
He also reckons EDM is "coming to an end" on a larger scale because of more people embracing "deep house" in America. You can expect a remix from him on Ultra Music soon, too. |
