Electronic Music Battle #3

Remember that this is just my opinion:
Round 1: CON wins
Round 2: PRO wins
Round 3: CON wins
Round 4: Tie
Round 5: PRO wins

Since Con loses an entire Round (Round 2) for it not being electronic, I will avoid doing some scoring system and just do Round by Round as it also seems both songpickers were enjoying shifting around their picks across the Rounds.

Edit: After voting 3 Round from Con are disqualified by me.

Round 2 is obviously won by Mharman due to the DQ.

Round 1 has a really close clash. What Mharman's lacks in ear-pleasing for me is made up by the good tempo fluctuation leading to better dopamine rushes than the superior melody of Cristo. Cristo nearly failed to qualify because this is barely electronic as opposed to just some variant of Rock. I believe that Mharman's shows far more skill in terms of being a DJ and making a song from scratch rather than just getting a rock song and then remixing it. I do not dismiss the skill that remixing takes but Cristo's remix was a lazy remix of the song it didn't change that much or sound very EDM-y.

2-0 Mharman so far.

Round 3 is surprising to me. The 'type' of song Mharman used usually makes me go na not my thing too this too that but that song was a bop at least to a decent enough degree to surprise me. It's more your background music while gaming or doing some coding type activity (some may even use it as workout music I imagine) rather than being the hype song for a club (it can work in a club but that's never the track you went there for let's be real, it's the filler one). I can dig it. I like it. Cristo's is also background music but more study music for some or elevator music for others. I am not quite sure what to say here but Cristo picked a good piece for a study mix and a bad choice for a true showdown. This doesn't mean he chose a bad track, it's about context.

3-0 Mharman.

Round 4 starts with the headache inducing hardstyle dubstep fusion that most would never show your parents or grandparents because of how headachey it is and how it lives up to the stereotype of what EDM is... same shit over and over. I do not get that much of a headache from it at first but it would torture me if replayed many times etc. It's got a decent melody but I also think it was a track that either should have dedicated to dubstep, drum n bass or hardstyle rather than be the fusion it was. It was an ok track, I admit that but for me was not my thing. Idk if we can call Cristo's electronic... I'd say this is like Round 2, I disqualify it... It's way more acoustic and the most dj thing in it is the disk scratching sound...

4-0

Cristo's Round 5 is unavailable but I searched the song elsewhere in YT. It's Rock. Lol.

5-0
