#dancefeed

We told you a while ago that we believe dance music is the movement that will change the world for the better. We also promised we would elaborate on why we believe this to be true. And when you make a promise, you should live up to it!

The power of EDM is undeniable. Every weekend hundreds of thousands of party people find a club, event or festival to enjoy their favourite style of EDM. Whether its with a couple hundred people, or tens of thousands, we all gather for the same reason. To enjoy the music we love and see the artists we love take us away from the usual strain of life.

At times like this, it doesn't matter how you look or how you talk. It doesn't matter where you are from, what you do for a living, or how much money you have. It doesn't matter what you wear or how you dance. Nobody looks for the differences between one another, but instead everybody embraces the biggest similarity: the love for dance music.

This creates a bond, a familiar feeling, an instant friendship between everybody present. We dance and laugh with people we have never met. We have conversations with people we'd never talk to on the street. Sometimes it's just a matter of making a small gesture or exchanging a look, and someone you have never seen before will immediately know what you mean. Because with the DJ's as the link and the music as their tool, they create a connection between all of us.

It is this connection that makes dance music so powerful. When we all accept eachother as we are, and just make the best of it with whoever is near you. And it is this atmosphere that we should take as an example for every day life. Because when you realize that it is not our differences that are important, but our similarities. When you realize that we all just want the same. When you realize that together we can make one big family. THAT is when you understand that intolerance is just stupidity.

There is a small sidenote. Because sometimes we notice intolerance between different genres. Even though they all come together on the same event, sometimes people see a need to bring other styles of dance music down. It is with this idea in mind that we try to break down the differences. And get you, and everyone, to understand that no matter what style you prefer, no matter how many events you have visited and no matter how long you have been in the scene: We are all part of the same family.

We hope that by fading genre boundaries, and with the help of the great artists that make the world of dance music so great, many people will start to see and understand our message. That the atmosphere we create when enjoying our music can be a guideline for the rest of our every day lives. And that maybe, one day, you too will believe.

Let me tell you something about DanceFeed and the idea behind it. First off, you may have noticed many posts speak of "we" when referring to DanceFeed. This is because the driving force behind this blog is nothing more than two Dutch guys with a passion for music. And EDM music in particular. We generally like anything from trance, to house, to techno to hardcore and industrial. And basically everything that fits in between. We are both bedroom DJ's and Producers, just for the sake of loving music.

we started this blog with a reason. We believe the world could and SHOULD be a better and more peaceful place. And we believe the best tool humanity has to achieve this, is music. More specifically, dance music (we will elaborate on that in a later post). However, we get the feeling that people stick too much to their specific genres. And we want to fade the boundaries between these genres, creating a world wide dancing movement. And we want to inspire people to join our cause.

We have been trying to do this the past period by sharing a mix of all different styles of EDM with you. Hoping that you would have a listen to tracks and radio shows in different genres. And hoping it would make you discover the beauty in genres of EDM you never thought of listening to. But we realized that the way we have been going about this hasn't been very inspiring. Which means we are going to be changing a couple things.

The most noticable of changes will be the way we post. We will start writing more and posting less short posts. Of course, we will still keep you updated on free downloads and the latest episodes of radio shows and podcasts. But we will combine them in single posts, rather than making seperate posts for everything. The focus will shift more towards the world behind the music. The parts you don't always realize are present, but that will open your eyes to how the EDM crowd is just one big family

You may have heard of this very cool initiative called plug.dj. Basically what it is, is a platform on which everyone gets to join a chatroom in which they can take turns playing their fav music for everyone else in the room to listen to.

We have been hanging around different rooms for a while now and we finally decided to create our own room. We will allow basically all styles of EDM there, but we would prefer to steer clear of Dubstep and newer Hardstyle as much as possible.
