The "Future" genres seem to currently be everywhere now.

I think (or hope?) it's gonna go minimalistic. Those loud monophonic extremely layered and effected über-drops will die. I believe another shift to IDM will come eventually. Some stuff is actually headed this way already.

Whatever introduces a radically new sound to an emerging audience. That's how it's always been, so just keep an eye on whatever music the outcasts currently working their way through middle school and into high school are either discovering or inventing.

 ;D ;D ;D ;D This made me lol.

I personally think Grey's sound is something special that might blow up. I would originally have said madeon but people have already blown that up with the nu-disco/complextro genre.

The Music industry is so over saturated with artists and genres (perceivably good and bad) that is so hard to tell whats going to be in or not. I remember just recently how trap blew up out of nowhere, people are making it left and right - its getting old pretty quick. It's really hard to tell because the next super genre doesn't even need to be in the realm of edm or electronic music of any sort. We all remember when warped tour was the thing right? Now its edc and other types of electronic festivals that are in my opinion on their way out sooner or later. I would kinda agree with mussar on this one lol. I would also pay attention to fashion/cultural trends that extend beyond just the music, I feel like that has to be pretty important too.

I think retro-post-future-bass-step will be the latest trend.

As much as "big room all sounds the same" (although though I disagree), I think future house is in the same situation in terms of composition and sound design, if not worse

I honestly dream about that in about 3-7 years there would be on top once again Hardstyle and uplifting/classic trance. Of course that's just my dreams, because as I see there is going to be Trance 2.0 and psy trance(at least in trance scene). About whole EDM , I think that bass music , future/deep house and progressive/big room stuff would be still on top in at least 2 years. Unfortunately I don't see any hope for such genres like techno,hardstyle or dubstep in future , which is sad because they were great. I think that one of the biggest problem in EDM is that whole media/labels/top artists learn the audiences that "the most important is drop" , so the poeple forgot about atmoshpere which is way more important in my opinion. Just try to listen Asot 500 sydney set from Menno de Jong , Tydi , or Alex Morph. Even if I was really young that day , I listened to it throught radio and I had goosebooms throught all my body. Well , that's one of the reasons why I've started to produce music. Even now, when I listen to this set's I can feel this atmosphere :)
If you want to collaborate , just send me a PM :P

Agreed about classic Trance. On the other hand for some strange reason Hardstyle seems wierdly logical. ...or may be I'm just too amused by the idea of kids melbourne shuffleing their way to school while staring at a smartphone screen. :D

The next trend is what the artists decide to make so we can have a direct influence on it! I think this summers trend is going to be breaks. Ghastly, Dallask, Nom De Strip and even jackal have all realeased singles like this. I think watching kshmr and martin garrix and whoever tiesto collaborates/steals from will be a big tell as far as EDM trends.

Everything always comes back to house and Techno!!!


I see (or hear) that there are still loads of 'tropical house' tracks flying about on the radio. I heard 'fast car', an ed sheeran song with a tropical remix and a fucking show me love tropical remix all within about 10 minutes on the radio!

I'm personally hoping for a resurgence in progressive house. Real progressive house not this 'EDM' stuff that claims to be progressive house but probably wont happen.  As said above - whatever the big artists make generally means a thousand copy cats follow it. Didn't zed just make a flume type track? So that must be the 'in' thing no?

A lot of mixed answers. Guess it's unknown.

A lot of mixed answers. Guess it's unknown.

it's definitely tough to give a solid answer with out doing some pretty rigorous analysis of the current trends, trends of the past, and how it eventually developed over time. That's a lot of music to work through if you're not getting paid lol.

Personally, i feel that the electronic music is going to continue to split into two different sects. One that is less musical in nature and the second that is more musical in nature.

But then again, it kinda comes from the different schools of thought that i see throughout the different genres that are already here.

I doubt they'll merge into one solid genre, but you'll definitely see more of a boiling pot so to speak.

Overall attitudes haven't changed about certain types of music if their aim is to make you move. But it just depends on the way they go about making you move and the audience's preferences.

Idk, to me it seems you'll always have that pre-teen that wants to listen to something that is rebellious in several ways, or pre teens who just want to taste the flavor of the month around their peers. or a deeply artistic individual searching for the meaning in rebellion or the flavor.

It's definitely at a weird transition because of the rise of dubstep, in my opinion. But, it's also tough to judge because i don't have an older out look this thing.

I agree tbh. What attracted me to modern EDM was the musicality of it. Not to say that past electronic music wasn't musical but when I heard Zedd a different world opened to me.

A lot of rock guys are coming into dance music and are bringing that past knowledge into their music. I think that's really cool.

I'd like to think it's a mix of styles that hasn't really occurred before. Some artist is gonna do something so dope, everyone will immediately bandwagon and make it a trend?
