Chapter 206: The Best Times

The Grammy Awards have finally ended, but the huge impact that this event has brought to the world music scene has only just begun.

In particular, the newly added electronic music to the Grammys has made many people realize for the first time what electronic music is and what is ED, and they are full of curiosity and interest in it.

As a niche music, electronic music began to speak on a world-class stage for the first time, and finally succeeded in breaking the circle for the first time, gradually spreading its influence to a larger audience.

And all of this comes from the number one single that topped the B chart - Are You With !

and the producer behind it, the Chinese DJ-Rayray, who has won two Grammy Awards in a row!

Undoubtedly, as the leader of most of the world's first-time contact with electronic music, after the Grammys, the name Rayray has become the representative of the top 100 DJs!

His works have become the pit comedy of countless fans, and his popularity has already broken through the original world electronic music circle, and even began to spread to the behemoth world pop music circle!

Although he is not the first in the top 100, although he has only debuted for two years.

But that doesn't stop him from becoming a representative figure in the entire electronic music industry in the hearts of countless electronic music lovers!

His fame has skyrocketed again, and he has surpassed any of the top 100 DJ champions in history!

The reason is naturally very simple, it is not that his ability surpasses any of the top 100 champions, but that his works have covered more people, and his influence has begun to break the circle, and he is not even just a pure top 100 DJ!

Since his identity label topped the B list, from accepting Bieber's invitation to sing, and since he swept the two Grammy Awards, he has gradually become more than a top 100 DJ, and has become more like a public figure with huge influence!

To put it simply, it's two words, star.

Although the magnitude of this star is not worth mentioning compared to any superstar in the pop circle, there is no more resounding name than the name Rayray for the entire electronic music industry now!

In addition to his great contribution to the successful breakthrough of electronic music and its gradual entry into the mainstream eye, his appearance and awards have had a great impact and impact on the entire traditional electronic music circle today!

The deep hoe style, which was once ridiculed and looked down upon by countless people, has now become a hot style in a short period of time!

Think how much cold eyes and disdain did Thundercloud receive when he created this style at the beginning?

But it turns out that no one can escape the law of true fragrance.

The harder you step on this experimental style, the more worthless it belittles, and the more you are like shit, but you eat shit but eat it more deliciously!

At the time of the culmination of the Deep Hoe-style song, the song Are You With topped the B chart, becoming the first number one single in the electronic music genre in history.

The whole circle was an instant sensation, and countless people had to put aside their prejudices and start to scratch their heads, wanting to delve into why this dance song was such a huge success?

When Thundercloud swept the entire Grammy again with this song, many people in the circle suddenly began to be calm.

They had to focus on the emerging style of deep hoe, and began to abandon many traditional concepts and try to accept the new idea of commercialization and popularization of electronic music proposed by Rayray.

Many of these DJs have even begun to explore and make in the style of Deep Hoe!

But the reason why Thundercloud's award has brought a huge impact to the electronic music industry is that some people recognize his idea and think that the popularity of electronic music will become a trend!

But there are also people who rebuke him for his ideas, thinking that he has turned his back on real electronic music, that he has been blinded by money and glory, that he has lowered his noble head, and that the music he produces cannot be called electronic music at all!

What electronic dance music, what ED, it's all shit!!

This is especially true of the older and more prestigious and accomplished people in the electronic music industry, the more they can't understand the idea of thunderclouds, and even scoff at them!

And the younger they are, the less influenced by traditional electronic music ideas are, but they agree with Thundercloud's ideas very much, and even begin to follow!

Needless to say, Kevin has always been a staunch opponent.

To Lei Yun's surprise but expected, it was the founder of the Trance style, known as Von Imann, one of the three giants of Trance, who was extremely dissatisfied with his work!

That's right, it's extremely dissatisfied!!

His ideas are more extreme, he only thinks that the trance style belongs to the true soul of electronic music!

When Kevin abandoned the trance style and switched to making the dubstep style, he was severely reprimanded, including his old friend Tony, who was tied with him as the trance triumvirate, and after betraying the trance style, the two even broke off for a while!

And now Thundercloud's approach is obviously more extreme, even to make electronic music the same as pop music, which makes von Imann simply heartbroken!!

He no longer knows how many occasions and in front of many industry bigwigs denounced Thundercloud and expressed his strong dissatisfaction, believing that this is a distortion or even subversion of electronic music!

Pop electronic music is no longer electronic music, so what's the difference between it and pop music?

There are also many people who oppose him, and almost all of them are industry bigwigs who are famous in the electronic music industry.

But the DJs who also recognize and support Thundercloud have gradually increased, especially after he swept two Grammy Awards, to be honest, what musician has not dreamed that he could be on the Grammys' highest honor hall?

Especially being able to DJ live at the Grammys, oh my God, this is a legendary epic performance that many DJs have never even dared to think about!

This performance has not only become a classic highlight moment of this year's Grammys, but its clips have received tens of millions of views on YouTube!

At the same time, more people recognized Rayray, a Chinese DJ.

At that time, the three dance songs specially selected by Lei Yun for performance became even more popular, and the number of downloads continued to rise, which was also a surprise.

Many of them kept leaving messages under the dance music, asking what kind of music work is this?

This also makes not only the deep hoe style start to become popular, but even the derivative style of deep hoe, future hoe, has also been paid more attention to.

Because the second work specially selected by Thundercloud - Nevada, is a future hoe style divine comedy!

However, in recent times, when constantly answering questions from netizens from all walks of life, as well as many DJs' private messages, there is a question that also bothers Lei Yun.

That's the third song of this show - boo!

This piece that blew up the entire Grammy also attracted the interest of many people, including many top 100 DJs, who asked about the timbre and style of this dance music.

At first, Thundercloud replied with Deep Hoe, classifying the song under the same style.

But gradually, as more and more people asked, more and more people asked questions, and over time, even Lei Yun himself began to put a question mark on the style of the song.

Because it's really different, this experimental piece of its own, the timbre is more metallic than Future Hoe, and the bass is more obvious, just like my own byob and Y songs, the sound is extremely explosive, and it is completely different from the soothing style of Deep Hoe!

But it's a bit of a mistake to classify it as a future hoe, as the tone and the sound are clearly two musical styles.

So in the end, Thundercloud had to make up his mind to rename these three songs of his own in a new style!

brazilian bass!!

Since then, there has been one more member in the sub-style derived from Deep Hoe!

When Thundercloud first officially announced the new name on Twitter, he couldn't help but think of the recent controversy in the entire electronic music industry because of his award.

For a while, he felt a lot of emotion, of course he thought that his concept was right, but everyone has their own opinion, in this era of electronic music, some people will take advantage of the situation, and some people will fall to the bottom.

There is never a right or wrong way to fight for ideas, and everyone is trying their best for their own ideas.

But the pace of the times will never stop, and the rapid development of electronic music has become unstoppable!

"It's the best of times, it's the worst of times. “

Lei Yun slowly typed out these lines on the keyboard, and then pressed OK, and officially posted it on Twitter!

Looking at it, the corners of Lei Yun's mouth suddenly outlined an arc.

"For me, this is the best of times"
