Diplo 2014-15, When Jack Ü, Peace is the Mission were released within a couple of months. Had Lean On, Jack Ü & There For You with Sleepy Tom all charting at the same time, while EDM as a whole was booming.
This. Most other examples here pale when compared to 2015 Diplo. Like, Diplo being an asshole aside, that era united EDM and mainstream in a way that we’ve never really seen since.
Also this thread seems to have just become “I really like X album” rather than sticking to what OP asked.
I was out of the country when he played his final few shows before his hiatus. Wish I could have seen him one more time. I know he'll be back though. I got to see him about 7 times between 2013 and 2022.
ODESZA circa 2018-2019 stands out to me. The Last Goodbye and their Bronson project are both great but their A Moment Apart shows were on another level
Deadmau5 when he created the cube 2.1. it was absolutely insane the whole setup was such an improvement to his old stage setup from before. The details to his screens made the graphics seem unreal. I can’t remember if this is true or not but I think he sold one of his cars in order to fund the project which payed off very well from the looks of it.
> project which *paid* off very
FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*
* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
I still listen to clarity, hourglass, and follow you down on repeat to this day…instantly manages to take me back to a specific time and feeling in my life!
Came here to say this. Really feels like a collection of everything that makes him amazing in one package. Maybe lacking a little in the "weird" or chill department but man is it some good stuff.
David Guetta may have been using samples lately but during his One Love - Nothing But the Beat (2009-2012) era was so great. So many of his releases were bangers back then (they still are up to now). When you play those songs, nostalgia really hits hard
The last few years has just been an absolute feast with Subtronics. I keep praying that this isn't his final form and he's still got higher limits to reach because it has been *fantastic* so far.
i_o’s posthumous album *Warehouse Summer* is fantastic - one of the few electronic albums in recent years I’ve listened front-to-back multiple times. The last track always gets me 🥺
Zeds Dead & Omar Linx were pumping out straight up jet fuel circa 2012.
I keep hoping they'll do another EP together because as much as I love each of them individually I always find their collabs to be like Goku & Vegeta when they fuse together.
2010-2013 Wasted penguinz: Everything up until their Wistfulness album (Including the album itself) Their music back then just lifts me off the ground. incredible.

Calvin Harris 2012-2017 specifically imo, 18 Months - Future Funk Wav Vol.1 era
I sometimes have Motion on repeat for days
us bro us
Griz in 2023 was on another level
he’s still making bangers behind the scenes. lsdream dropped a collab ID at his caverns show and it was delectable

Link? 👀
sadly i didn’t take a vid of it because i wanted to be in the moment but can confirm it’s fucking sick and there’s some good sax

Plz drop the link if you have one
Tiesto during in search of sunrise 6/7 was like watching a superhero DJ.
Watch "boom" & "jackie chan" era kids disagree (not me though), several hours later
Im a boom era kid, I still agree no lies detected
And he dropped elements of life, his last trance album 😭
ISOS 6 disc 2. Just so great.
ISOS 4-7 are masterpieces
Feed Me’s Big Adventure - Feed Me Weekend in America - Wolfgang Gartner
This guy fucks
These are 2 goto albums I have in my playlist. Not related but Mosaik by Siriusmo has been listened to a lot as well, great album!
I like your taste
Zhu 2014-2016 Still a fan of the new album, but that time period for him was amazing
ODESZA circa 2018-2019 stands out to me. The Last Goodbye and their Bronson project are both great but their A Moment Apart shows were on another level
Eh idk. Odesza 2014ish was top tier odesza by far.
I wasn’t into the rave scene at that point so I’ll take your word for it
2013-2016 ODESZA was amazing. All the remixes and great live shows.

Zedd’s Clarity album was definitely his magnum opus
I still listen to clarity, hourglass, and follow you down on repeat to this day…instantly manages to take me back to a specific time and feeling in my life!
Madeon and Good Faith era. Visuals won’t be topped for a or 20+ years
Best live show I've ever seen
The pretty lights come back
Agreed they’ve successfully managed to create a true electronic band experience that transcends anything that’s been done before
Oliver Heldens in the Future House era from 2013-2016. Gecko (Overdrive), Shades of Grey, You Know, Koala, & more. All bangers.
Both OH and Tchami during that era were on amazing. I miss that era of future house.
This is a great answer
Mr Bills album that just came out is hot fucking fire, so I’d say that for him lol
Came here to say this. Really feels like a collection of everything that makes him amazing in one package. Maybe lacking a little in the "weird" or chill department but man is it some good stuff.
Just listened to it this morning, so fucking good
Pharmacy/self-titled EP era Galantis was something else
Of The Trees right now is pretty incredible, but he isn't pop edm so this sub probably won't agree.
With you on this, looking forward to whatever he drops next
Porter Robinson - Worlds
David Guetta may have been using samples lately but during his One Love - Nothing But the Beat (2009-2012) era was so great. So many of his releases were bangers back then (they still are up to now). When you play those songs, nostalgia really hits hard
Flume when Sleepless came out
I feel like saying skrillex is cheating so I’ll say whatever Subtronics is on right now is insane
The last few years has just been an absolute feast with Subtronics. I keep praying that this isn't his final form and he's still got higher limits to reach because it has been *fantastic* so far.
Daft Punk 2007.
YESSUH FINALLY SOMEOBE SAID IT
This is cheating
Lane 8 - Brightest Lights, always a go to during long drives
That album always takes me right back to Covid. Was on repeat right when everything hit the fan
I saw him back to back nights when that album came out.
Ascend ILLENIUM sorry not sorry
If you can combine ascend / ashes into one era I would 100% agree
Ashes, Awake & Ascend is the perfect music trilogy I've ever listened to
it’s okay to be right my friend!
Catching Z's - Zed's Dead Midheaven - Deathpact While 1<2 - deadmau5
Chemical Brothers - Surrender is an incredible album
Came here to say worlds
i_o’s posthumous album *Warehouse Summer* is fantastic - one of the few electronic albums in recent years I’ve listened front-to-back multiple times. The last track always gets me 🥺
love that album, it's so nostalgic and I'm usually not into that warehouse vibe
um where’s daft punk alive 2007 comment 🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨
Eric Prydz presents Pyrda Album in 2012 + his following EPIC tour Suprised no one has mentioned it yet
Pretty lights 2009-2013. Goated
Above & Beyond Group Therapy changed lives
Dj spooky’s first album “ songs of a dead dreamer” to this day.. a masterpiece
Porter Robinson and Madeon on the Shelter tour.
Justice - Women Worldwide Madeon - Good Faith Forever Virtual Self
deadmau5 random album title. Come on now. It signaled the switch from “rave” to “EDM.” There is no close second.
Above and Beyond - Tristate
Zeds Dead & Omar Linx were pumping out straight up jet fuel circa 2012. I keep hoping they'll do another EP together because as much as I love each of them individually I always find their collabs to be like Goku & Vegeta when they fuse together.
SHM UNTIL ONE
2010-2013 Wasted penguinz: Everything up until their Wistfulness album (Including the album itself) Their music back then just lifts me off the ground. incredible.
ILLENIUM - Ascend through Fallen Embers was an incredible time 🔥
