What The "Ranting Raver" Has to Say About the EDM Movement
(December 2012)
By Katherine Loh
Jessica Sonabend, the writer behind “The Ranting Raver” blog publication is currently 23, yet has been attending raves since since she was 16 years old. I thought profiling her involvement within the rave and EDM culture was a great way to get a glimpse of her experience as well as her thoughts on its mainstream appeal.
Sonabend has attributed the growth of the rave scene to many promoters’ work and efforts. These include flyers and social media promotion. In addition, many of her favorite DJs have also gained attention on their own.
“Swedish House Mafia…Steve Angello, Sebastien Ingrosso, and Axwell…those are extremely old-school producers,” Sonabend said. “The fact that they came together in this group and blew America out of the water…people started seeing who they were.”
She states that it is a big deal considering none of these DJs are from the United States. In fact, many of them got their start in Europe and hit it big once they reached America. To her, the new collaborations between hip-hop artists like Nicki Minaj and Flo Rida are distasteful. After listening to a remix done by Flo Rida to the original “Cry” by Bingo Players, Sonabend wished it didn’t have to happen.
“This dude does not know how to produce music,” Sonabend said. “You can’t really do anything about it because EDM has become very mainstream.”
