a lot of the "masterclasses" are created by people who have no idea what they're doing
Haha so true.

Youtube is great resource for new producers, but I always say you should checkout the music these content creators are putting out themselves before taking their advice.
The amount of them that are middling producers art best, yet are putting out videos on "The secret to great bass the PROS don't want you know about" ( :ROFLMAO: ) is ridiculous.

I think you are a bit too naive with this one.

This is a fraud and sex offender, check the video's posted here, with a strange (likely fake) social account, 50k followers, never posts about actual music. Strange "deejay" photo's with amateur dj set-up and zero audience.

He also posted a poster of ADE with his photo in it. But I can't find any ADE event with his name, so not sure if that is real (probably not).

Plus... imagine being a producer. If your track is released, you WILL check it out. It's a great moment to have your track on the portals. To share it on platforms.

This is a guy who posts statistics like millions of plays, thousands of followers, etc. (fake people always love the stats...). So it's not like the guy doesn't check out the platforms... He surely knows what tracks are there under his name.

Plus... if the track had no information... how would they know the title was Heaven Scent? Where did Bedrock go?

It's a stupid story, pretty clear imo.
I just find it hard to cope with the fact that people like this are out there. Felt the same thing about the Giuseppe Ottaviani vs Adam Ellis situation I've posted before, I've listened to some of Ellis' music and he seemed to be an alright and decent producer/guy to me. I just don't get why people do things as idiotic as this and I don't think I ever will 😖

This song it pissed off a lot of people even myself. The music video is unlike most dance (Trap Music) music tracks with nudity yes you heard that right the video has strippers and sex scenes which is so odd seeing in a dance music more common in modern pop and edm and R&B and hip hop tracks. The only dance song which has remotely adult theme that comes to mind is call on me by Eric Prdyz which was not originally written by him. This song by Chicane is a horrible song too and somehow I won it as a signed CD on Trancefix lol . @dmgtz96 what do you think?

I don't find it appealing let's leave it at that.
Agreed, I also find the inclusion of sexual themes in music videos rather annoying. I'm here for the music itself and not to look at ladies, regardless of how (conventionally) attractive they are and what they are doing.

I will say that I don't really mind this specific one, the video comes across to me as more of a satire on clubbing culture as a whole given that we see it from the perspective of a literal hand puppet. I definitely prefer it over Call on Me's MV, which I find a lot more sexually tinted than just having "remotely adult themes" (not to mention that the video itself is literally nothing more than suggestive dancing and shoving rear ends in your face, it's so incredibly monotonous it's actually rather boring if I'm honest lmao).

commercial/festival house shit or trap shit like this made by DJs and producers who should know better @Dyon check these out equally as bad and it's from Armin too. The original is from 2014 and Armin has slapped his name on it sounds like a copy cat Martin Garrix animals.

This kind of attitude definitely ruins our Trance scene:

Trying to jump on the bandwagon of deadmau5 and Daft Punk.

Probably a friend within the Armada family…

One of Superstrings works for Armada btw, so that mystery is solved now too.

I have never seen so many comments on here criticising Armin on facebook.
