I Believe Electronic Music is the Best!

I believe electronic music is the best. The music that is evolving all around the world has arrived in America. For me, it all began on a Saturday night. I had nothing to do and suddenly my friend Gaspar told me there was an electronic music festival few blocks around my house. As I arrived at the building where the event was taking place, I felt an extremely good vibe coming from the building. It surprised me because we were not inside the building! As I came closer to the stage my adrenaline increased simultaneously. I was one meter away from the DJ and was really able to feel the electronic atmosphere. Gradually, everyone started dancing in their own little world, not caring about what other people may think about their dance moves. That day I heard some of the best remixes in the electronic music field. That Sunday morning when the concert ended I visualized the world in a different way. With electronic music I learned to comprehend people and see the positive side of every matter. I was able to achieve this visualization when I saw the people who attended to the concert. They had different social status, different type of clothing, but they had all something in common, the passion for electronic music.

Now, I apply electronic music to everything. When I m stressed about work I just plug in my earphones and start listening to electronic music. In addition, when I do my house chores I just play the music and everything seems to be relaxing. In electronic music it is not about who sells more records or who gets involved in more media scandals. The music is about whom gives the most out of themselves and leaves their audience satisfied. These are definitely reasons I listen to electronic music.

For me electronic music works in a bizarre way. First, I listen to the beat or the compass of the song. After listening to the beat, I just let music flow through my body and the music will do all the work. Electronic music makes my adrenaline pop and my mind forgets every problem I am dealing with. It is a strange feeling; it is like if I had amnesia. I believe in electronic music and as the French Daft Punk duo says the sound of today is the music of tomorrow.
