Where’s the #EDM?
Tommie Sunshine isn't shy about making his opinions heard. Last September he took it on himself to lead the panel about the relationship of his home country of origin and EDM – 'The United States Of EDM'. One of the most popular panels during Amsterdam Dance Event, Sunshine expressed the opinion that the EDM boom should be welcomed with open arms, instead of opposing it like many veteran DJs:
“This is not a conversation anymore, it just isn’t,” he told the room. “There is plenty of pie for everybody. If you want to be David Guetta and write pop records, that’s fine. If you want to be Seth Troxler and freak out and play crazy music and eight-hour sets, there’s plenty of room for that. They just don’t need to exist in the same place.”
Recently, with Swedish House Mafia's 'Don't You Worry Child' going platinum, a discussion between Tommie Sunshine and Chemical Brothers' Ed Simons took off. In response to the discussion you can follow below, Sunshine did a mixtape. Head below for a introduction to the mixtape called 'Where's the #EDM' and DOWNLOAD IT FREE!
“In all of the pandemonium of the last few weeks I felt it necessary to make a mix that reflects my roots in Chicago & shows all the Underground nut jobs who berated me that I do, in fact, know the difference between EDM & House Music,” he writes. “This is a listening mix mean to be enjoyed loud. Make no mistake that I’m going this direction with my live sets for 2013; this is just a love letter to the city that made me want to be a DJ. These artists above are some of the best ones making this deep style & their catalogs are worth exploring. I hope you all enjoy this as much as I did making it. I hope you dance as much as I did while making it. This is House Music. Enjoy.”

¿Dónde está el #EDM?
Tommie Sunshine no es tímido a la hora de hacer oír sus opiniones. El septiembre pasado, decidió liderar la mesa redonda sobre las relaciones de su país de origen y el EDM, “The United States Of EDM”. En una de las mesas redondas más populares del Amsterdam Dance Event, Sunshine expresó su opinión sobre que el boom EDM debería ser recibido con los brazos abiertos, en vez de tener la oposición de muchos DJs veteranos:
“Esto ya ha dejado de ser una conversación, simplemente no lo es,” dijo a la sala “Hay suficiente pastel para todo el mundo. Si quieres ser David Guetta y escribir canciones pop, está bien. Si quieres ser Seth Troxler y alucinar y tocar música loca y sesiones de ocho horas, hay suficiente espacio para ello. Simplemente, no tiene que entrar en el mismo espacio.”
Hace poco, con “Don´t You Worry Child” de Swedish Hose Mafia convirtiéndose en Platino, tuvo lugar una discusión entre Tommie Sunshine y Ed Simons de Chemical Brothers. En respuesta a la discusión que viene a continuación, Sunshine hizo un mixtape. Sigue para abajo para una presentación del mixtape llamado “Where´s the #EDM” y ¡DESCARGALO GRATIS!
“En el pandemonio de las últimas semanas, he sentido la necesidad de hacer un mix que refleje mis raíces en Chicago y todo el trabajo underground que me han reprendido haber hecho, de hecho, conozco la diferencia entre el EDM y la música house,” ha escrito. “Este es un mix para escuchar y disfrutar con el volumen alto. No cometáis el error de creer que voy en esta dirección en mis sesiones en vivo para el 2013; es simplemente una carta de amor a la ciudad que me hizo querer ser DJ. Estos artistas son algunos de los mejores haciendo este estilo profundo, y sus catálogos, merecen la pena ser explorados. Espero que disfrutéis tanto escuchándolo como yo he disfrutado haciéndolo. Espero que bailéis tanto como yo cuando lo he hecho. Esto es Música House. Disfrutadlo."
