16 remarkably similar EDM drops edited into a 60 sec track

Hear 16 remarkably similar EDM drops edited into a single 60 second track

Swedish DJ duo Daleri highlight the repetitiveness of 'big room' house

It's hardly a new phenomenon. Numerous summers have played out across Ibiza and the festival circuit in a similar manner: one track will become a huge summer anthem thanks to a distinctive hook, or 'drop', and suddenly hundreds of other tracks emerge that use that exact same sound. And it's not exactly a pattern that's limited to mainstream house music either.

To highlight the point though, Swedish DJ duo Daleri have produced a minute long mash-up, titled Mashleg, comprised of the 'drops' of 16 tracks currently sitting near the top of Beatport's electro house and progressive house charts. The results are both amusing and fairly remarkable - it's a blur of identikit percussive leads and beefy claps, and it quickly becomes genuinely difficult to differentiate between one track and the next. Listen below to hear for yourself:

It's worth noting that Daleri themselves aren't exactly a pair of avant-garde boundary pushers. The duo are very much part of the big room house circuit; themselves producing notably drop-focused tracks, some of which have been released on the same labels as artists used in their mash-up.

Speaking to Spin the pair defended their productions, claiming their music "is more like complextro, and a lot of things are going on in the drops, which I think is different from the songs we put in the mashleg." We'll leave you to listen to their music for yourself and make your own judgement on that one.

[Duz]

loop sample packs in full effect.

100% agree, sample packs and stock sounds

[GREMM1S]

You should see all the butthurt on the deep house version of this.

[russell]

you could do it with any genre really. The deep house one isn't quite as good as this one though.

I'm positive you could prob find other deep house tracks that are even more similar than the ones chosen already

[Cupe]

You mean like all of them?

[GREMM1S]

hahaha that's it

[mattus123]

As others have said its not as good as the big room one

[GREMM1S]

haha i was trolling on it

[mattus123]

yea there is defiently more variation in the deep house one compared to the big room one

[GREMM1S]

Tempted to make a better one but dont have the time nor attention span haha

[Mitch]

A hard dance/gabber one would legit sound the same for the whole minute

[GREMM1S]

Could do it for so many genres tech house, dub, trap, hardstyle

[BeatLeSS]

This blew my fucking mind haha.

I wonder how many use similar songs within sets/transitions.

Maybe we should start a "Pick that banger hook" thread in each genre.
