Just one word. Its musics are so simple and mostly not catchy at all. Their maximum size is 4 bars. Most electronic makers believe in "less is more" but their musics are "much less than less".
Do you have the same feeling?

I made this turbid track (not complete yet) but I like it more than most of them (not my best attempt).

Listen to music you like instead?

 

Who cares if you like or not Beatport... There are thousands of alternative shops

 

and more than 10000 radio stations, but the situation does not differ so much!

 

Just another "How long is a piece of string"

 

I have the feeling that you still don't realise that you don't like dance music.
Repeat after me:
I _ D O N ' T _ L I K E _ D A N C E _ M U S I C. I _ D O N ' T _ L I K E _ D A N C E _ M U S I C. I _ D O N ' T _ L I K E _ D A N C E _ M U S I C.

 

Just 3 colors. Insufficient. ...I like it. You can listen to mine. They're kind of dancy.

Beatport's are more drum machines or simple FXs and if you remove the machines, nothing remains.

...said the guy who doesn't know how to use a drum machine, make FX and finish one song.

 

You Sir, have seriously no idea what you talking about! Your statement shows an incredible amount of lack of knowledge.
Please stop embarrassing yourself.

 

They're just fillers not so important features or role players but on Beatport the situation is different.

Some producers try to make people dance by bare and so-called groovy drum patterns but is it fair to cheat the innocent audiences by low knowledge of music just by applying the drums?

Listen to this dancy track. It's the dance track not beatport's. Who would remember what were the drums in it after some years?

Just dont answer when she calls. Shell get the point eventually and move on to someone else.

 

A pornhub translation is needed here as it seems it works everytime with you: dancy is like going in & out with just the tip of the c_ck in a p_ssy. Chicks don't dig that. They need proper balls deep. And here comes dance music. Can you make the difference between dance music and dancy?

 

• watch a movie
• find a soulmate
• trim your nails
• clean your house
• delete all your projects
• make a forum post
• go outside
• try to smile for 10 minutes without stopping
• try to keep your eyes without blinking for as long as you can, then try again immediately
• forget your name (get creative on how)
• adopt a female cat
• adopt a male cat
• wait 6 months
• now you have a whole litter of cats
• basically swimming in pussy
• guess you won't need a soulmate after all
• sit in the middle of bench
• dress up as harry potter
• or dress up as Mr Trump
• shave your head
• listen to my dope asf music while petting your pussy #2
• play tetris and wonder why you didn't come up with the theme song first
• rewatch big bang theory
• rewatch how i met your mother
• live your life pretending you're are you
• pretend noone gives a fuck if you like beatport or not
• believe it's true
• write an essay on why you think the world needs alcohol without hangover effects

Some other things you can do

 

But man, there is so much variety in Beatport, you should give it a chance

 

If I might offer some unsolicited advice...

Honestly, you might benefit from making an effort to appreciate the types of music that are made with philosophies that differ from your own. Easing up on your harsh, stringent and (in my very humble opinion) somehwat arbitrary criteria for what makes good and bad music might help to alleviate some of the anxiety and indecision you seem to have about making music.

In other words, "the world is your mirror." If you're very harsh about the music you listen to, you'll be very harsh on yourself when making music... even more so than we musicians already are. In that context it makes a ton of sense why you seem to have gained a reputation for stalling out and not making complete songs. The good news is, I think it's a very beatable problem. Looks like you get a lot of crap for it too. Why not just lighten up a bit and make something purely for fun?

Edit: let me add a caveat (ha): I used to be really tough on rappers that I listened to. In my estimation, I can out-write 99.9 percent of... everybody. Whether or not that's actually true is up to collective subjective opinion, but that didn't stop me from deciding that certain styles or writing were cliches, mistakes, dumb, too generic, too simple, etc. Recently I feel I've gained a lot from just trying to appreciate shit. Something I learned from my (now absent) friend @( . ) ( . ) . Wish him the best wherever he's at.

Now I can find something tolerable in almost everything that isn't mumble rap

I really appreciate your lovely comment but when something is not good, it's not good. Does not relate much to subjectivity. Please listen to this track. It's for the year 2003. In this 6 minute track, you can feel the real meaning of musical journey. It plays with your soul. Today's musics lack such thing. In the whole beatport you can not find many tracks like this one. I don't want to dance. I want good electronic music.

Have you tried MySpace, i think you would feel at home there.

 

I just listened to your track in the original post. The composition is good, and I'd expect as much from you. I feel like you would really benefit from either getting a bit weird with sound design or (if you're using presets) just finding some more interesting presets. I think the synth sounds are holding this song back from sounding as good as it actually is. The drum sounds especially are rather plain (and IMO could be louder). I recognize that you're a bit of a purist, and that the composition is what's meaningful to you, but sound design/selection plays an enormous role in how your track is perceived. Look at me: I don't know shit about music, but I know some sound design and it makes me sound artificially better than I am lol

As a further example, the song you showed me. There was clearly a lot of effort put into making that bass very gritty, almost industrial. It tells you what kind of track this is going to be right away

 

Music is totally subjective. Without context and cultural background any form of art has no value.
Care to play that song to a nice gathering of seniors from a retirement center to see waht kind of musical journey they experience?
