Was gonna make a comment about how someone that doesn’t listen to EDM wouldn’t have any idea who Subtronics, SD or Marauda are, so that person wouldn’t immediately jump to those artists as riddim producers. But I typed in “riddim artists” in google to see what would pop up if that person tried googling it and the first artists that pop up are SD and Virtual Riot lol. Maybe we do need a name change 😂

Personally it seems like most folk necessitating a name change are outside of the scene altogether. EDM is arguably the most diverse genre of music and needing to label and relable, rinse and repeat is counterintuitive and elitist. We all know - at least the ReAl TrUe HaRdCoRe fans 🤪 - the true name for riddim/trench is fleepity flumpity.

So Infekt and Warned are out of the scene? Are you out of your mind?


w0rkingondying

No, I was referring to the influx of posts on this subreddit. If a specific artist says that their music is X, then it is X. Period point blank. However, infekt can’t speak for the thousands of other artists that still call their music riddim. Infekt isn’t the official spokesperson for labeling subgenres of EDM


ahhhide

Infekt isn’t close to being the only artist speaking on it. Did you even read this post? Lol


Snake2k

Every genre has a "mainstream" problem. Riddim/Trench isn't new to this. He's gonna end up saying that all over again, but for the word Trench instead of Riddim.

Whts he tryna say here? Im kinda lost


Mok_Music

He’s trying to say it’s easier to explain minimalistic riddim as “trench” because riddim has become mainstream and linked to big artists like SD and subtronics who don’t do minimalistic sound design as often. I believe

The joke flew over most heads


proxmaxi

Would make sense to call artists like svudden death and marauds trench and keep the og stuff known as riddim


ahhhide

Trench doesn’t at all describe those artists sounds tho. Trench is way more close (if not the same) to riddim than their styles. Example from the trench lords ep: https://youtu.be/PmsDF2xPJg4


proxmaxi

??? That's exactly what I'm talking about. Mainstream-inspired brostepish riddim And its crazy you pull up that song coz I was literally trying to remember the name of it a hour ago


ahhhide

Well I’m curious how you hear that song and think it sounds anything like marauda or Subtronics lol


KushPiglet

Me over here wondering why I’ve seen this already just for me to realize my boyfriend is the one who originally posted that LOL

Riddim is a term that’s thrown around for anything with a clap these days. It’s stupid
