Poster Position: 7

Day: Friday at 5:45

Thoughts: So I had decided to just run across the 7th line and knock out all four of them in a row.  Big mistake.  Having to suffer through San Holo and then immediately jump into this was not a good idea.  I need a buffer in between the bad EDM so that I forget the last bad EDM and give the new bad EDM a chance.  This had no chance.  I wish it was actually called Gryffindor and was just electronic with all of the tunes sampling Hermoine taking Ron to task for not studying.  RONNN!  What *are* you doing? {heavy future bass drop sound}

The best thing on his Spotify is a remix of the Portugal. The Man song "Feel It Still."
Which isn't as good as the original, but at least has a better song structure than anything else the guy has done.  

Guy's real name is Dan Griffith, and he is an American from New York.  Wikipedia says that he gained initial recognition for remixing other people's songs like Tove Lo's "Talking Body."  Sounds terrible.  No actual albums available, just a bunch of singles and massive groupings of remixes of the same song.  7 versions of "Heading Home."  6 versions of "Whole Heart."  7 versions of "Feel Good."  7 versions of "Nobody Compares to You."  So painful to get trapped into one of these whirlpools, just hearing slightly different versions of bad songs for like 30 minutes.

Most listened to original song is called "Feel Good," and features Daya.  83 million streams.
Seriously, is this the same thing as San Holo?  Generic female singer?  Check.  Lame lyrics about feeling good?  Yep.  Drop and synth?  Of course.  Blerg.  You made me feel good and I like it!  yay!

One more, here is his most recent tune, "Winnebago" featuring something called Quinn XCII and Daniel Wilson.  4.7 million streams.
Sounds like Lil something.  Yachty?  Scooby?  Purpy?  Kyle?  I have no clue what to say.  This is not what I need to hear anymore.  If you love this track, then more power to you, go get 'em and enjoy this show in the fall.  I don't get it.
