Electronic Music

A place to discuss electronic music on Farcaster.

Electronic

The channel is growing rapidly, amazing and welcome all new members! Thinking about establishing some rules of engagement though to keep the channel engaging and to avoid that it turns into a link dump. Opening this up for discussion, but I will make some suggestions below!

superstar curator • culture strategist • DJ • yes you know me from Boiler Room • visit me in /hyperreal

Self-promotion is of course ok, but not shilling of mints, even though conversations about the intersection of electronic music and Web3 culture are encouraged. Memes are cool too, but they have to relate to the core topics of the channel.

I think we all agree that even though some things falls into the wider spectrum of electronic music, most of us aren’t interested in the newest Timmy Trumpet or Steve Aoki shenanigans. Not to be snobbish, but this should be a place for exploration, whereas those things have already big platforms already on their own.

I personally think YT, SC and Bandcamp links should be preferred, streaming platforms only if no other link can be found - this is a question of accessibility, most streaming platforms require subscriptions some members might not have.

I would suggest that if posts do not meet the standards we agree upon, we point this out in a friendly way to the OP, posts that really fall outside of the spectrum might be deleted.

I think however the more the channel functions will expand, we might find other ways how to separate and highlight high quality content over things that might be not as interesting. 

Curious to hear everyone’s opinions!

I think we should encourage members to share posts that are more than a link and “mood” or “vibe” or “cool track”, but share a perspective or a bit of context to why the music was shared and why they think others should dig into the sound, the album, the track or the mix.

i didn't want to name him specifically, but i totally meant him specifically.

I am ok with all of this. Good luck Fred Again xD

Wondering if you can add things like flair in Reddit to posts, which will help sub categorize within the channel itself, and enforce minimum threshold for posts 

- Self Promo - why is this relevant for /electronic 
- Track/artist ❤️- why you love this track
- Memes 
- web3xElectronic
Etc

@dwr.eth  @v

+1 to not having the channel become an endless link dump 😄

now: ecosystems @ /syndicate. then: started this thing called /fwb w/ my friends. also do a ton of music and media things. also mba from usc. constant.coffee

It’s a tough one because the entire point of music is to listen, but a channel of link dumps would not make for a good community. 

One simple norm I would support would be “no links without context” as a bare minimum to post a link.

Not yet, i was busy shitposting elsewhere! Still on the to do list, but so far everything seems to flow very naturally anyway, so its not that urgent imho

Did anything ever percolate up to the “norms” section of the channel heading? 🤔

Great ground rules. I’m in support 🙏

I like these rules, but perhaps we pin a "link dump / link + mood/vibe/cool track" channel, to allow for that type of posting as well?

Thx @opiumhum !
Although i dont post a lot of those (i tend to write some context), i think we should allow ppl sharing their daily vibes/moods. Sometimes there's not much more to it, but that can also create serendipity. With that being said, if same person only does that and nothing else, maybe thats not good.
