Mord Fustang is my favorite electro-house producer, and one of my favorite artists over-all. My personal favorite of his is Welcome To The Future. I would describe his style as energetic, creative, and cheery. His one weakness in my opinion is his intros; a lot of them sound too similar. Once they get going, however, the creativity and uniqueness of each song really shows. Even if you are not particularly fond of electro house (and especially if you are), I strongly urge you to check him out. Lick the Rainbow is what most people consider his best. I can't offer more information about his music due to my incredibly sophisticated lack of musical experience, but I can say he's very good at what he does.

Highly recommended.

I really love Mord. He's probably my favorite artist right now. I just love that uplifting vibe he's got going on. I like your description of his style, I'd agree with that. As for his intros, I'm pretty sure that's part of the house genre. There are some songs that are a little too similar (Super Fever and Lick The Rainbow, for instance), but over-all he's got a nice sound.

I didn't know he was from Estonia, I thought he was from the U.S.

>>2 I'm glad I found another Mord Fustang fan, I really didn't think anyone would have heard of him.

What's your favorite song of his?

Looks like were getting some EDM on the music boards. That's cool. Sadly, I can't say care that much for the scene anymore, though. It's on a downward spiral because everyone is simply copying everyone else coming up with the same generic, predictable, tracks, using generally the same types of software and vst plugins.
I can't say much for the fans either. However, there experimentalist are pioneers out there who are raising the bar, sadly I can't name any off the top of my head at the moment.

I am saying this, because I am a DJ/Producer, and although I mostly play indie dance, IDM and many varieties of the genre, I started out playing raves with music like this. My problem with Mord Fustang is just like I stated previously too many songs sound the same, not much variety, and kind of predictable.
But good thread, nonetheless.

>>4 I can't disagree that house is becoming a lot more generic. I wouldn't criticize all EDM as lessening in variety, though. There are many, many artists that are quite unique, but there are also many that are not. It depends on where you look. I also think house is becoming more popular, and a lot of 'pop' songs I hear are house, which may contribute to the decline in variety.

However, I believe Mord Fustang is sufficiently unique. It is in large part because he is from a different country that does not have a lot of popular EDM producers, so even if he sounds like a lot of artists from Estonia, I would never know. I think the intros to his songs all sound the same, and the structure to each song is similar, but I think the rest of the song is different enough from the next. He may not be a pioneer, but I think he's talented.

Also, this may not be universally true for house, but I enjoy that repetitive base structure. There's not much variety there, but there doesn't have to be for me because I enjoy it. There's enough variety elsewhere to make each song enjoyable. In this same sense, something like that may apply to indie rock. I can't really find the quality in it, sadly. I know it's there, many people enjoy, but I can't get into it. That may be different in 20 years, I don't know.

I also couldn't find your post on EDM.

I like Mord alright.

However, I have to agree with >>4

EDM fucking blows anymore.
Everyone is either making trap bullshit or making songs with faggoty Miley Cyrus.
It's a bunch of poppy bullshit now.

>>6 I think pop songs rely too heavily on vocals to provide all the variety and creativity in a song. If you actually listen to the music, it's pretty bad.

Not everyone is doing that, though. They might not be as popular, but there are pioneers out there.
