Reason:

Wow I've never listened to this much electronic music before, so this was really my first time ever. I have to say that the consistent rhythm in Pro's music put me in a dancing kind of mood and I started to boogy a little bit. That is not to say that Con's music was bad, in fact that Ava Max song is really catchy and driving and I almost voted there, but the Dimrain song and the Destroid song made me feel like I was on cocaine, at least the dimrain song because of how fast it was...all things considered like beat, feel, melody/lead tune, driving bass, Pro's songs sounded better and put me in an electronic kind of mood, and I don't even listen to this stuff. Fun debate guys, I'm voting Pro.

Reason:

Pro: Omari - save me. Has a tiny feel of Royksopp about it, asside from vocals. I like the chilled feel of this: 7

2 scratch and Drama B - this is not my favourite style of electronic, and is much more like commercial pseudo-r&b, to me, it was instantly forgettable, and I kinda tuned out. 3.

Ava max: typical vocal electronic music. The vocals were okay, but had didnt a particularly good electronic underpinning, made it sound like a throwaway pop song: 5.

Crossfire: I felt this one was okay, it was a little forgettable, but had a reasonable hook. 6

Axel theself: awesome track, I really enjoyed this one. Had a lot of intricacy, and as a more chill out form of electionic, very much had the different layers and depths you need when lying on the bedroom floor at 5:30am. I really enjoyed this one: 8.

Total: 29

Termite&panda eyes - highscore: had a little of a madeon feel to it, thought the main riff was good, but not as catchy as say grand finale, great variation though, I genuinely liked this song. 7

Pegboard nerd. Very “music for the jilted generation” industrial vibe to it once you get into the main theme, I felt the theme wasn’t that catchy, but it’s a pretty fun song: 6.

Living tombstone: I don’t mind remixes of non-EDM: popiholla by chicane is a perfect example - this was an abomination. I hated this song more than anything. Part of me wants to award a loss just for hearing this: 1

Dimrain: this was like if Alt-4 was played at 170bpm. Reminded me of the fire and flame track from guitar hero 3. It would have been better if slower, I can’t say I rate this one that highly: 4

Destroid: this is a good old fashioned middle of the road 2012 style EDM song, it lacked in hook and melody, and didn’t have anything exceptional to offer imo. If this song was a person, it would be a Keith: 5

Total: 23

Reason:

I have to say I'm biased b/c I'd heard half of the songs Pro posted, whereas I'd heard non of Con's songs, so it was a new experience through and through. I loved the songs from each side, but I found myself dancing a little more to Con's music. Of course I also loved Pro's choices, but Con seemed to choose more unique songs (for example, Pro's Christmas choice was good, but it was basically an electronic version of a Christmas song, which is fine but I kind of grew bored with it (though I liked the ending)). The songs began to die off towards the end, though I liked Pro's finale. Nonetheless, my vote has to go to Con. I preferred more of their songs in the end.

Thanks for some awesome music guys :3
