So, I am going to vote based on my preferences for each round. In this first round, I strongly preferred Pro's to Con's in a relative sense, though, in an absolute sense, I was not super on board with either. There was something too ballady about it, which I don't like in my EDM. Said the Sky does some nice stuff, but this wasn't clicking for me. Also, I do strongly tend to prefer songs which are not solely instrumental.
In round two, I loved Pro's entry. It was literally just my style--it sounds at home in my spotify. Con's entry was better than last round, but still unimpressive. Also, is that a black Orthodox Jew? That's a new one.
In round three, for an instrumental, Pro's entry was okay, but it could occasionally come across as too hard-rocky. Con's entry had me until 0:40. The song had so much potential, but was just destroyed by the almost screamy noises that were interrupting the melody. Both songs had similar problems for me, but Pro's was less jarring overall.
In round four, I enjoyed Pro's entry. It didn't feel particularly special, but it was enjoyable, and I'll probably add it to my own playlist. Con, this is another situation where it's just too ballady for me. It's more overwrought than Abba, and just...no. The song itself is a gay anthem classic, but I am not even sure I would call this EDM.
In round five, I was just like "YASSSSS! WORK BITCH!" listening to Pro's entry. It's disco-inspired EDM, and that's perfection. I am here for it! Con, RIP Avicii. If this had been your R3 entry, you would have won that round. But, against Pro's R5 submission, it just sounds a bit dated. Levels has a lot of soul, but it's super repetitive musically.
I think Pro won all five rounds. Some rounds were close, some rounds weren't. But I think Pro's selections were far more to my taste, so that's how I will vote. Good debate, you guys!
Lol you're a funny voter and I'm glad you liked my stuff, thx for the vote
Same here. I’m in quite a few debates already
Yeah, maybe over the summer. A lot on my plate atm.
Indeed! If you’re up for a music battle like this I’m down!
That's a lot of hopping around...
Okay, fair enough. I enjoy doing some fun debates every now and again myself :)
Electronic music isn’t my absolute favorite, but I thought it would be a nice mental change from serious debates to a battle
Thank you bsh! <3
Yes he is a black Orthodox Jew. He grew up Christian, then converted to Islam, and now he’s an orthodox Jewish rapper. He’s an interesting fellow
Nice debate! I think I might vote.
*cry*
Cool, I’ll check those out
Good for me. Alone tonight, sun and moon.
Saw them live a few times - they’re pretty epic.
I’ve only heard A&B’s remix of Let Go by Seven Lions, what other songs by them do you like?

Lol I figured you’d say that, given his history with me I think it’s fair to say that’s a bit of a stretch, but you’re the boss
He may have listened beforehand.
RM added his vote only 10 minutes after the debate ended, which is obviously not nearly enough time to listen to all of the music...

Can y’all save meh pls
I thought he'd do it quicker than that
I only put one day on the clock in case you didn’t notice
So, what's the actual reason then Speedrace?
Obviously
Because you're too skilled obviously. One'd have to be a true Apollo to beat the spectacular Madman in an electronic music battle.
So, speedrace, tell us all why you don't want me to accept your debates.
