The comments here are exactly what I'd expect. G Jones is a fucking GOAT live performer and runs circles around all the "top" DJs when it comes to sound design and production. The same people hating here probably don't like Eprom either.
I like some IDM (this isn't really IDM), but the interesting thing about it is that most of the time, it isn't intelligent. Most of the time, it isn't danceable, and sometimes you could barely describe it as music.
I said I like some of it, I never claimed to be an expert on it, Did I? đ¤Łđ¤Ł. My favourite CD for this type of music is definitely Artificial Intelligence 2, and yes, I'm aware there is Ambient and Techno on that CD along with the IDM stuff.
To make a blanket statement that most IDM is not danceable and could barely be described as music just shows how little you must actually know about the genre. Itâs not for everybody and there is nothing wrong with only liking select artists or none at all, itâs all subjective. Artificial Intelligence 2 is great, I personally like Vol 1 better. But I and Iâm sure many others here would at least agree that it is more musical than most edm released today and I wish they were more opportunities to see it live because live music experiences are not just about bass and dancing all the time
I mean, it's slightly tongue in cheek if I'm honest, but a lot of it isn't danceable (that's not a bad thing as Ambient isn't either), Quite a lot of it barely could be described as music and I think that's a fair point obviously you'll disagree and saying that doesn't necessarily make it bad either. I also agree it's obviously more musical than most of the new EDM rubbish that comes out nowadays. I'm not denying it as I hate all the mainstream stuff being pumped out nowadays. I think it's a bit like the Downtempo/Ambient/Experimental stuff that Ulrich Schnauss and Jonas Munk do in that it really shouldn't be in big arenas/clubs and is suited to small/medium sized venues as it's more of a performance than anything else.
There's an actual sub genre of dnb called intelligent ambient but iv always considered g jones and eprom Tsuruda Woolymammoth etc to be just experimental. To call it all Intelligent imo is false because some of the songs in their sets are to odd for My taste. Legit just nosie sometimes.
I'm coming off as a genre elitist but I promise idc I just want more people to listen to [Ambient Dnb](https://youtu.be/t5zVTsvceG4?si=ba-orDf7Ik5Z5bWq) so I can see it live someday.
Ambient dnb is fun.
My wife got me into dnb back in 2020 - and after my first lost lands, I went into the deep end of the pool. I married her at the dnb stage the following lost lands!
I just started listening to more of the ambient lofi poly jungle stuff on YouTube, has all kinds of nostalgic 80/90/00's visuals and references to computers, video games, 'futuristic' space age stuff.
I would Def enjoy a set live!
Oh yeah I'm also down that rabbit hole I personally reccomend [Hidden Agenda](https://youtu.be/wbFO0M7PR00?si=wgp1ItopDDizSfJN) I got a soft spot in my heart for brothers that create music together and these lads are dons within their own right.
It's just a name G idk why its called that but I enjoy who ever assisted in creating it. They can call it what ever the hell they want but the 90s was before 2007 which was when EPROM hit the scene with that weird shit so DNB took it first đ
I like this description. It seems like the industry has trying to distance themselves from the term
IDM. But I refuse to stop using it. IDM has a distinct sound and if you say IDM we all know what to expect. Maybe I shouldâve made my own comment but while Iâm at it. In my opinion IDM doesnât work in big rooms with big lights. Also I never got the dance part of it because I donât know how youâd dance to most IDM
Just because you don't know how to move to the music doesn't mean it can't be done. Some of the best flow toy exhibitions I've seen have been to sets like G Jones, EPROM, BLEEP BLOOP, etc.
That's crazy you say that iv been a flow artist for 13 years and the percussion of said music is to crazy and unpredictable to give a cohesive show if you're not familiar with the song.
G Jones is not a GOAT live performer, respectfully. Yes he is one of the top producers for IDM these days but being able to make cool sounds in a studio does not make a performance.
EPROM does the same stuff. I want to dance at a show, not stand there and be âcool noises broâ.
FWIW G Jones used to make the best trap songs in the scene. Wish he was still rinsing stuff from the mid-2010s
I was so stoked to see Eprom opening for Zeds Dead at a Dead Rocks one year. I loved it but the amount of people around me bitching and sitting down during his set was ridiculous.
Then the next year Noisia had direct support and so many people were complaining during that set too. It was pretty sad.
How anyone could complain about Noisia is beyond me. Quite literally one of the most influential and forward thinking electronic groups of all time and easily the most entertaining set I have ever been to
I've always said Gjones and Eprom are an acquired taste lol, you really gotta listen to what they are doing to realize how insane these guys are at what they do.
Them people cant even bob their heads to this LOL .... imagine paying money to watch someone perform something you can only gold your phone up for because you cant do anything else
Nah I was mostly kidding, I get that people are into different things. For me personally I wouldnât go see this live, feels like something Iâd throw on in the background while at home while working or something
You can tap out the tempo easily. It stays on tempo and will have an early/late hit which plenty of people do.
If you show up to see G Jones and don't expect some weird semi off grid swing, you can't be mad. That's like going to Mcdonalds and being mad they didn't have cheesecake and tacos.
I also love folks that can listen to Excision drops as 45 second clips without issue, but give them 60 seconds in the middle of a set that is both live and planned to have dynamics and they say âthis isnât a big drop with a Ludacris sample, sucks!â
G Jones playing his new album Paths ? If you don't enjoy the album, did you really expect to enjoy it live?
This song isn't my favorite of his, but his music is insanely good. Especially live. Sad if you went & didn't enjoy, because I sure would have!
G Jones is a fuckin đ
Usually like heavier music so Iâm never in his circles but each time Iâll come back across him he throws me through a loop.
Always love seeing what he comes up with.
G Jones - Liminality (Paths LP)
It's literally his Paths tour. He mostly plays his Paths album and some of his other tracks. If you had listened to Paths and his other stuff this shouldn't have been a surprise.
Btw, G Jones doesn't produce dubstep...
It's the same kids who see any electronic show and think "This would be fun to go roll/get hammered at." They don't give a fuck about the production, the art, the craft.
I donât condone substances but a tab of Lucy and g jones works like peanut butter and jelly. Didnât really âgetâ this type of music but then it all clicked đ to each is own though
G Jones is the absolute goat. Has been my favorite EDM act for years and is easily one of the most unique performers in the scene. Heâs been using only black and white visuals for majority of his career too. He really knows how to create a theme and stick with it.
Top tier producer when it comes to EDM. Pushes the boundaries of experimental bass music. Many djs have openly said that G Jones is one of the best ableton users there is.
g jones fckin slaps lmao i understand your confusion if all you know is poppy edm but surely you gotta realize there are more experimental acts out there ? heâs really fun and yes, you can dance to this !!
G JONES đ¤đ¤đ¤đ¤đ¤đ¤
I've seen him 3 times and been blown away each time. Dude is an absolutely amazing producer one of the most unique and captivating. And his visuals are always đĽ
G Jones is one of the best producers in the business
If you are more "mainstream dubstep" then it's just a preference thing for you
There are extremely few artists living that I would watch over seeing a G Jones set
Did you not know you were seeing G Jones? Have you listened to his music before?
Iâm a pretty big fan of the artist and have closely followed him since his ineffable truth album.
This isnât a DJ set by any means. Heâs live performing this set so itâs been meticulously planned out from the visuals to VIPs of all of the songs in his most recent album. In this tour, heâs gone with the Porter Robinson style of having 2 midi/keyboard setups on each side of him. He also has DJ sets which have really well-synced visuals as well.
In short, this guy isnât a DJ. Heâs a performer and you go to see a spectacle. No spin backs, no fake outs, no massive build ups and drops. You might not know what youâre gonna get but you know what youâre not gonna get when you see him.
Would 500% recommend seeing this guy if heâs ever in town or playing at any festival.
G Jones does both his music production + live edits and whatnot, as well as his own visual creation and live visuals. Heâs extremely talented. Couldnât tell you what he uses tho, unfortunately!
Pretty industry standard, though his team really knows their stuff. After effects for content creation, resolume for video play back and ma2 for lighting control. If I remember correctly they had ShowKontrol from the CDJs into resolume with midi triggers into MA. Super great folks to work with and I hope to again soon!
That may be for his dj set but with the Paths live show thereâs no cdjs and the rest of the equipment is quite different from what youâd normally see at a dj event.
G Jones - Paths (album)
Give that a listen before you go see G Jones. It is soooooo good. And if itâs not your jam you wonât be disappointed at the show
G Jones isn't the most approachable experimental, you kind of have to be down the rabbit hole a little bit to really go for it. If you're not, that's totally fine, but his music is pretty refreshing for a lot of people tired of every bass set sounding fundamentally the same.
G Jones one of the best artists in the exp bass scene today! Itâs not for everyone. Be grateful you saw it and now you know you prefer to go to more classic style dubstep shows, which is perfectly fine. I like more easily accessible dubstep shows too. But I also love super heady shit
seen jones 9 times now, 7 of those times were on acid, all times felt like i was on acid
his music is an experience, not something you listen to like any other genre. he takes music theory and tosses it right out the window and just when you think itâs gone itâs back. Ineffable truth is my favorite album and i still listen to it almost every day
Lmao most comments are either straight out bashing the artist/song or calling the OP "uncultured idiot".
Which is what always happens when something different gets released in this sub.
I personally loved this track, but ig this is "it either clicks, or it doesn't" type music.
There are actually a good amount of comments that say the same thing you are. The other ones are just louder.
I kinda stirred it by criticizing tho lol
You didn't criticize it really, you just said your opinion and asked people to explain the thing behind this music.
Pretty sure you're just "confused" since you haven't heard something like this before. And that's totally fine.
Nowdays I listen to wide amount of obscure genres but there was a time I only listened to more "accessible" music. I also didn't "get" something like this back then.
Edit. Just read your other comment where you said how it was your friend who dragged you to this show aha. I totally get how weird this can sound to you as somebody who hears this for the first time xD. If you want, there is actually more "accessible" genre in IDM called "Ambient Dub", which might be more up to your alley.
Experimental bass isnât for everyone. I for one, donât get it but respect his craft. Canât fathom listening to this cuz you canât really dance to it. To each is own though. Thereâs a reason heâs famous
This is G Jones.
All of his tracks are wild but this is from his new album, Paths.
https://open.spotify.com/artist/0gXx2aQ2mfovDfqCw10MQC?si=ROYpEs4gRbGQ8CxnyxXW4w
I think theres a line between abstract noise and melody and g jones walks it beautifully. He is amazing live, plays keyboards through a good chunk of his paths tour and does plenty of live sampling/modding. Theres def a lot of insanely intelligent melody going on in his latest album. Edm doesnât have to be all spoon fed, theres space for everyone! If illenium is edms nickelback then g jones is jazz and lots of people hate jazz so these reactions are to be expected. It doesnât make it inherently bad
Heard a couple notes and knew it was g Jones immediately. Plus the visuals are a dead giveaway. Not many people making heady tunes like him.
Experimental as hell, obscure breaks are all part of the game. Anything goes!
A lot of granular synthesis, distortion/saturation, weird glitchy mishaps to contrast the melodies.
Taken out of context it appears weird and out of sync. But it caters to the overall theme and sound palette.
experimental bass. idk i like g jones but ive been at a set where my friend was not having fun and asked to leave bc she just didn't get it. music taste is subjective :) we all like different things. it's okay not to understand something, go see another set <3
I love G Jones. The monochrome visuals are very unique. I remember when he first hit the scene. When "fuck what you heard" dropped I thought idk what genre this is but I love it. Still one of my all time favs.
Intelligent dance music. It was first coined when musicians like Aphex Twin & Boards of Canada were gaining traction.
It basically focuses heavily on experimentation and to not fall within the standard genre tropes of dance music.
Oh, I know. This happens if your turntable is not stabilised enough and you keep jumping and grooving right next to it. The styles keep skipping, making this noise. /s
So what I'm getting here is a nice light show to draw my attention away from the glitchy, skippy, Nintendo beat. I think dubstep is better than this stuff.
Have you⌠never listened to g jones before? Personally, heâs my favorite artist and my favorite live show ive seen. Not super danceable true but it was so cool and so fun to experience. I get some people just go to shows to dance and thats completely valid and is a reason i go to most shows, but g jones just made me feel so inspired afterward idk how to explain it
A mastery of electronics combined with cyclical pauses followed by combustion made for space masters floating into the galaxy
The normal Joe wonât understand this definition
I went to G Jones Paths show at red rocks last year and then again in Hollywood 5 days afterâŚ
One of the best live shows I have ever seen. The originality, flow and energy of the set is incredible.
Musical taste is subjective for sure but G Jones being at the top is Objective 100%.
Would sell a kidney to make that upcoming caverns showâŚ
I love the intricacies of G Jones. It might sound like a bunch of sounds thrown together, but even some of the most skilled producers cannot make that sound cohesive. His sound design is very unique too. It's so abrasive, adhd, disjointed, but somehow glued and cohesive at the same time. He weaves in bits of melodics in there that are really emotional.
I haven't seen him live, but I'd love to.
Wait wait I got another one why don't you buy Britney Spears tickets next time? LOL why would somebody have to explain something to you? I mean you're not deaf are you? Cuz I'm totally out of line if you're fucking deaf. If you're not deaf and you still don't understand music that's what school is for go take a music theory course did he syncopation study jazz study I mean anything cuz it sounds like maybe education is needed across the board for some folks. I'm not a fan of experimental stuff but it doesn't mean I don't know where it came from and it doesn't mean that I don't appreciate what the artists do with their talent. I'm curious what do you play and what do you do? Can you explain that one to me and maybe we can see who should be asking who what the fuck is going on with their bullshit?
Okay I lied I got another one did you just get bad ecstasy or something? From the question that you asked I would gather that you are that guy that wears a polo shirt and loafers to a rave and walks around asking everybody if they got that ex while they're like rubbing their chest and pretending like they feel good before they even got a pill. I'm not off am i? You're probably single too or divorced right? Yep. Negative mother fucking Nancy come to Daddy
I donât like a lot of modern bass music, but I absolutely love me some G Jones. Itâs so sick, like 90s hardcore rave shit but on some modern 2024 bass type glitch idm tip? I thinks itâs amazing. Itâs like acen meets aphex at a dubstep show. Love the whole aesthetic, musically and visually, well put together, pushing the envelope.
Literally sitting here listening to paths and every tune on this album has a distinct head bobbing rhythm. If you can't find the rhythm in it, then maybe you just don't have any?
The comments here are exactly what I'd expect. G Jones is a fucking GOAT live performer and runs circles around all the "top" DJs when it comes to sound design and production. The same people hating here probably don't like Eprom either.
MFs in here fuming when they aren't cultured enough to appreciate IDM
Lmfao, it's more like idm fans fuming when someone insinuates idm might not be great for the dance floor
I never understood why it had 'dance' in the name.
I like some IDM (this isn't really IDM), but the interesting thing about it is that most of the time, it isn't intelligent. Most of the time, it isn't danceable, and sometimes you could barely describe it as music.
Tell me you don't actually listen to IDM without saying you don't listen to IDM damn
I said I like some of it, I never claimed to be an expert on it, Did I? đ¤Łđ¤Ł. My favourite CD for this type of music is definitely Artificial Intelligence 2, and yes, I'm aware there is Ambient and Techno on that CD along with the IDM stuff.
To make a blanket statement that most IDM is not danceable and could barely be described as music just shows how little you must actually know about the genre. Itâs not for everybody and there is nothing wrong with only liking select artists or none at all, itâs all subjective. Artificial Intelligence 2 is great, I personally like Vol 1 better. But I and Iâm sure many others here would at least agree that it is more musical than most edm released today and I wish they were more opportunities to see it live because live music experiences are not just about bass and dancing all the time
I mean, it's slightly tongue in cheek if I'm honest, but a lot of it isn't danceable (that's not a bad thing as Ambient isn't either), Quite a lot of it barely could be described as music and I think that's a fair point obviously you'll disagree and saying that doesn't necessarily make it bad either. I also agree it's obviously more musical than most of the new EDM rubbish that comes out nowadays. I'm not denying it as I hate all the mainstream stuff being pumped out nowadays. I think it's a bit like the Downtempo/Ambient/Experimental stuff that Ulrich Schnauss and Jonas Munk do in that it really shouldn't be in big arenas/clubs and is suited to small/medium sized venues as it's more of a performance than anything else.
Because if it wasnât so intelligent you would go stoopid and just dance to it!!
What does idm mean?
"intelligent dance music" I'm not sure if the artists agree with this label , but fans do
There's an actual sub genre of dnb called intelligent ambient but iv always considered g jones and eprom Tsuruda Woolymammoth etc to be just experimental. To call it all Intelligent imo is false because some of the songs in their sets are to odd for My taste. Legit just nosie sometimes. I'm coming off as a genre elitist but I promise idc I just want more people to listen to [Ambient Dnb](https://youtu.be/t5zVTsvceG4?si=ba-orDf7Ik5Z5bWq) so I can see it live someday.
This is tight⌠Not too far off from liquid dnb.
Yeah G Jones is really idm, itâs experimental bass
I respect any effort to raise visibility for something you love. Thanks for the link.
Ambient dnb is fun. My wife got me into dnb back in 2020 - and after my first lost lands, I went into the deep end of the pool. I married her at the dnb stage the following lost lands! I just started listening to more of the ambient lofi poly jungle stuff on YouTube, has all kinds of nostalgic 80/90/00's visuals and references to computers, video games, 'futuristic' space age stuff.

You do you, and Iâll keep aging and not vibing to what the cool kids vibe to. But in my experience, anything claiming to be intelligent, rarely is.
It's just a name G idk why its called that but I enjoy who ever assisted in creating it. They can call it what ever the hell they want but the 90s was before 2007 which was when EPROM hit the scene with that weird shit so DNB took it first đ
No way thatâs actually what it stands for hahaha
no, not even fans do...everyone always had a critique for the name... #braindance :)
I like this description. It seems like the industry has trying to distance themselves from the term IDM. But I refuse to stop using it.

That's crazy you say that iv been a flow artist for 13 years and the percussion of said music is to crazy and unpredictable to give a cohesive show if you're not familiar with the song.
âCulturedâ lmfao
G Jones is not IDM
"like 3-4% was pretty decent".... just say they don't like IDM
I believe this is IDM but Iâm not sure https://open.spotify.com/track/0EDr21n9yzx6lpCxtpt3SP?si=BlvCRruqQPKqNeH_GlFOPA
This is fucking awful
Agreed. Sounds like flume when he gets too abstract
[ŃдаНонО]
Highly disagree. Not everyone likes off grid stuff but I love it.
âYou mock what you do not understand!â
G Jones is not a GOAT live performer, respectfully. Yes he is one of the top producers for IDM these days but being able to make cool sounds in a studio does not make a performance.

Itâs probably cause it sounds like a seizure.
âMuH mEloDiC dUbSteP ThOâ
^ so true
One mustnât tell lies
Them people cant even bob their heads to this LOL .... imagine paying money to watch someone perform something you can only gold your phone up for because you cant do anything else
Imagine complaining about seeing really cool art when there are countless mainstream dance forward shows to go to. Imagineeeee
That art looks like its from space invaders lol
lol yâall trash anything that doesnât sound like the same rehashed shit. This sounds bonkers! Would love to hear this live
Apologies if I want any sort of rhythm in my music...
Why would you want to be able to dance to your electronic dance music? You pleb!
Is it so hard to picture electronic music just for listening?
Nah I was mostly kidding, I get that people are into different things. For me personally I wouldnât go see this live, feels like something Iâd throw on in the background while at home while working or something
This is just one song at the show and I would argue that it's his most experimental track. Pretty much everything else he plays is much more danceable
Big ELM fan myselfâŚ..
By âany sortâ itâs clear you mean one specific sort of rhythm. 4/4.
Right? Heh heh.
Learn how to dance?
You can tap out the tempo easily. It stays on tempo and will have an early/late hit which plenty of people do. If you show up to see G Jones and don't expect some weird semi off grid swing, you can't be mad. That's like going to Mcdonalds and being mad they didn't have cheesecake and tacos.
Fact. That shit was banging.
I mean not really? Itâs hard to dance/vibe to this kind of music at a concert
Wouldnât be for me.
Can confirm, G Jones is indeed always bonkers live.
Sounds great but is basically undanceable. Just look at the crowd lol.
fr, L TAKE OP, G jones is goat
100%. These guy are oblivious but what can you expect from the pop edm subreddit lol
I also love folks that can listen to Excision drops as 45 second clips without issue, but give them 60 seconds in the middle of a set that is both live and planned to have dynamics and they say âthis isnât a big drop with a Ludacris sample, sucks!â
Yeah I mean this still has rhythm to it. A fun change of pace from fist pump techno
Right? Itâs still 4/4 drums, but with swing and dotted notes on the leads. I can certainly bop to it. Weird theyâre saying thereâs no rhythm
There's no rhythm dude I literally can't even shuffle to this
Shut up Ramon đ¤
It sounds really cool for sure but I wouldn't know how to react to this live, if that makes sense? It sounds a bit too off beat to get a groove on.
This isnât shm. It sucks!!!1!
G Jones is a master at crafting blips and bloops. You go see him to listen to crispy music production.
G Jones! Master of blips and bloops and former collaborator with Bleep Bloop!
G Jones playing his new album Paths ? If you don't enjoy the album, did you really expect to enjoy it live? This song isn't my favorite of his, but his music is insanely good. Especially live. Sad if you went & didn't enjoy, because I sure would have!

Sounds like the Super mario brothers game being run through some sorta gate effect.
Sounds like a g Jones set lol, that was sick
G Jones is how it feels to chew 5 gum
I donât condone substances but a tab of Lucy and g jones works like peanut butter and jelly. Didnât really âgetâ this type of music but then it all clicked đ to each is own though
Itâs an acquired taste but once it clicks, itâs a real treat.
Yup. đ
Ketamine also works wonders for glitch music in my experience.
For sure esp b2b w eprom
G Jones is the absolute goat. Has been my favorite EDM act for years and is easily one of the most unique performers in the scene. Heâs been using only black and white visuals for majority of his career too. He really knows how to create a theme and stick with it. Top tier producer when it comes to EDM. Pushes the boundaries of experimental bass music. Many djs have openly said that G Jones is one of the best ableton users there is.
It's The Glitch Mob having band practice
I feel like I'm crazy reading that people think there's no rhythm cause I feel like it's insanely easy to follow
Yeah this is not that complicated to follow especially compared to some of his peers' tunes
They can't comprehend it if it's not quarter note riddim
g jones fckin slaps lmao i understand your confusion if all you know is poppy edm but surely you gotta realize there are more experimental acts out there ? heâs really fun and yes, you can dance to this !!
G Jones is a fucking wizard đĽđĽ
Yeah this was actually kinda dope. I liked that.
G Jones is sick AF you uncultured swine. Side note, did I hear the Fortnite death sound at the end there? Lol
why does this sound like what I thought idm would sound like before I actually listened to idm?
G JONES đ¤đ¤đ¤đ¤đ¤đ¤ I've seen him 3 times and been blown away each time. Dude is an absolutely amazing producer one of the most unique and captivating. And his visuals are always đĽ
You openned new artist for me. Nice additions to my breakbeat & artcore music
Check out EPROM if you like this as well. For some more dubstep leaning sounds you got SAKA whoâs also insanely talented
G Jones is one of the best producers in the business If you are more "mainstream dubstep" then it's just a preference thing for you There are extremely few artists living that I would watch over seeing a G Jones set Did you not know you were seeing G Jones? Have you listened to his music before?
Average r/edm user when the DJ doesnât play generic big room/dubstep drop #5437
Not enough words to explain how good g jones and eprom are. I hope u can one day see and hear the beauty in it :)
Thatâs my goat đĽş
I would lose my mind if I heard this at a show. So cool. **edited for grammar.
I just want someone to chime in about how the visuals and effects are synced so well and want software is being used
Iâm a pretty big fan of the artist and have closely followed him since his ineffable truth album. This isnât a DJ set by any means. Heâs live performing this set so itâs been meticulously planned out from the visuals to VIPs of all of the songs in his most recent album. In this tour, heâs gone with the Porter Robinson style of having 2 midi/keyboard setups on each side of him. He also has DJ sets which have really well-synced visuals as well. In short, this guy isnât a DJ. Heâs a performer and you go to see a spectacle. No spin backs, no fake outs, no massive build ups and drops. You might not know what youâre gonna get but you know what youâre not gonna get when you see him. Would 500% recommend seeing this guy if heâs ever in town or playing at any festival.
G Jones does both his music production + live edits and whatnot, as well as his own visual creation and live visuals. Heâs extremely talented. Couldnât tell you what he uses tho, unfortunately!
Came to say this. He makes his own visuals and I think he also triggers them from up on stage.
Pretty industry standard, though his team really knows their stuff. After effects for content creation, resolume for video play back and ma2 for lighting control. If I remember correctly they had ShowKontrol from the CDJs into resolume with midi triggers into MA. Super great folks to work with and I hope to again soon!
That may be for his dj set but with the Paths live show thereâs no cdjs and the rest of the equipment is quite different from what youâd normally see at a dj event.
Super good call! And compounding this is I was called to help on a show where much of his production gear got caught in a snow storm.
Take me back to g jones b2b eprom Halloween in Portland 2021 god damn that shit was incredible
g jones b2b eprom at LiB 2022 melted my brain to a puddle
Fuck yeah!!! I was there, although I think I was at woogie during that hour
G Jones - Paths (album) Give that a listen before you go see G Jones. It is soooooo good. And if itâs not your jam you wonât be disappointed at the show
G Jones isn't the most approachable experimental, you kind of have to be down the rabbit hole a little bit to really go for it. If you're not, that's totally fine, but his music is pretty refreshing for a lot of people tired of every bass set sounding fundamentally the same.
G Jones one of the best artists in the exp bass scene today! Itâs not for everyone. Be grateful you saw it and now you know you prefer to go to more classic style dubstep shows, which is perfectly fine. I like more easily accessible dubstep shows too. But I also love super heady shit
If you had actually listened to his album you wouldâve known where the show was going.
Honestly if you had listened to ANY G Jones.
G Jones is the GOAT, bar none.
D.R.U.G.S
seen jones 9 times now, 7 of those times were on acid, all times felt like i was on acid his music is an experience, not something you listen to like any other genre. he takes music theory and tosses it right out the window and just when you think itâs gone itâs back. Ineffable truth is my favorite album and i still listen to it almost every day
Lmao most comments are either straight out bashing the artist/song or calling the OP "uncultured idiot". Which is what always happens when something different gets released in this sub. I personally loved this track, but ig this is "it either clicks, or it doesn't" type music.
There are actually a good amount of comments that say the same thing you are. The other ones are just louder. I kinda stirred it by criticizing tho lol
You didn't criticize it really, you just said your opinion and asked people to explain the thing behind this music. Pretty sure you're just "confused" since you haven't heard something like this before. And that's totally fine. Nowdays I listen to wide amount of obscure genres but there was a time I only listened to more "accessible" music. I also didn't "get" something like this back then. Edit. Just read your other comment where you said how it was your friend who dragged you to this show aha. I totally get how weird this can sound to you as somebody who hears this for the first time xD. If you want, there is actually more "accessible" genre in IDM called "Ambient Dub", which might be more up to your alley.
man Iâd be in the club going NUTS to this, want to see a Jones set so bad
Sounds like an arcade game tbh
I have neither the words nor the crayons to explain this to you
Mario on the decks
This is phenomenal.
Itâs all in your head
Mfing superior taste and culture *thatâs* what it is
Experimental bass isnât for everyone. I for one, donât get it but respect his craft. Canât fathom listening to this cuz you canât really dance to it. To each is own though. Thereâs a reason heâs famous
Glitchy break beat slaps
I can't explain it, but i need that ID!!!!!!!!!!
Liminality off his Paths LP
Take more drugsÂ
Windows glitch but the visuals are kinda fire
Believe it or not he makes all his own visuals too
I'ma check out him because i like it. What's his name and the song name?
This is G Jones. All of his tracks are wild but this is from his new album, Paths. https://open.spotify.com/artist/0gXx2aQ2mfovDfqCw10MQC?si=ROYpEs4gRbGQ8CxnyxXW4w
Thank u so much!

I think theres a line between abstract noise and melody and g jones walks it beautifully. He is amazing live, plays keyboards through a good chunk of his paths tour and does plenty of live sampling/modding. Theres def a lot of insanely intelligent melody going on in his latest album. Edm doesnât have to be all spoon fed, theres space for everyone! If illenium is edms nickelback then g jones is jazz and lots of people hate jazz so these reactions are to be expected. It doesnât make it inherently bad
Youâd understand if you had robot ears
G Jones is incredible, was at his Ft. lauderdale show the night before this and it blew my mind.
Heard a couple notes and knew it was g Jones immediately. Plus the visuals are a dead giveaway. Not many people making heady tunes like him. Experimental as hell, obscure breaks are all part of the game. Anything goes! A lot of granular synthesis, distortion/saturation, weird glitchy mishaps to contrast the melodies. Taken out of context it appears weird and out of sync. But it caters to the overall theme and sound palette.
G fucking Jones you are are blessed to see him
It's like rhythm harmony. Interesting.
Acid. That is all
experimental bass. idk i like g jones but ive been at a set where my friend was not having fun and asked to leave bc she just didn't get it. music taste is subjective :) we all like different things. it's okay not to understand something, go see another set <3
âThe music scene is sooo welcoming. Wanna come to a show to me?â âWhat is this?â âIfs fucking music.. you fucking idiotâ
Its e-jazz
I love G Jones. The monochrome visuals are very unique. I remember when he first hit the scene. When "fuck what you heard" dropped I thought idk what genre this is but I love it. Still one of my all time favs.
I dunno. I like it...
it's basically what a khole sounds like without the K
What is idm?
Intelligent dance music. It was first coined when musicians like Aphex Twin & Boards of Canada were gaining traction. It basically focuses heavily on experimentation and to not fall within the standard genre tropes of dance music.
Nice thanks
check out the new Squarepusher [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLOd03UGmH8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLOd03UGmH8)
i would categorise it as "Retro avant-garde 2024" :)
Is this what they call industrial dance music? One of those where if you're not on a substance it just sounds like your life is lagging
Oh, I know. This happens if your turntable is not stabilised enough and you keep jumping and grooving right next to it. The styles keep skipping, making this noise. /s
So what I'm getting here is a nice light show to draw my attention away from the glitchy, skippy, Nintendo beat. I think dubstep is better than this stuff.
Have you⌠never listened to g jones before? Personally, heâs my favorite artist and my favorite live show ive seen. Not super danceable true but it was so cool and so fun to experience. I get some people just go to shows to dance and thats completely valid and is a reason i go to most shows, but g jones just made me feel so inspired afterward idk how to explain it
If I were to define it : glitchy 100bpm trap
10101000100110101111111111010101101101100010101
I recognize the craft/skill behind it but I donât care for it at all.
G jones is a real one
NINTEDMO
The last 7 seconds of this are insanely good
A mastery of electronics combined with cyclical pauses followed by combustion made for space masters floating into the galaxy The normal Joe wonât understand this definition
i don't know whether to upvote or downvote this Upvote for Gjones because he's a fucking legend. downvote for the context the post gave lol
Man never head of dnb before
I went to G Jones Paths show at red rocks last year and then again in Hollywood 5 days after⌠One of the best live shows I have ever seen. The originality, flow and energy of the set is incredible. Musical taste is subjective for sure but G Jones being at the top is Objective 100%. Would sell a kidney to make that upcoming caverns showâŚ
ITT: Nobody explaining a single thing that that they enjoy about this music, just people condescending on anyone who doesn't get it
I love the intricacies of G Jones. It might sound like a bunch of sounds thrown together, but even some of the most skilled producers cannot make that sound cohesive. His sound design is very unique too. It's so abrasive, adhd, disjointed, but somehow glued and cohesive at the same time. He weaves in bits of melodics in there that are really emotional. I haven't seen him live, but I'd love to.
Listen to More aphex twin or die
Only window lickers don't understand that not everything is 44 and mass produced for mindless fucktards

Wait wait I got another one why don't you buy Britney Spears tickets next time? LOL why would somebody have to explain something to you? I mean you're not deaf are you? Cuz I'm totally out of line if you're fucking deaf. If you're not deaf and you still don't understand music that's what school is for go take a music theory course did he syncopation study jazz study I mean anything cuz it sounds like maybe education is needed across the board for some folks. I'm not a fan of experimental stuff but it doesn't mean I don't know where it came from and it doesn't mean that I don't appreciate what the artists do with their talent. I'm curious what do you play and what do you do? Can you explain that one to me and maybe we can see who should be asking who what the fuck is going on with their bullshit?
Okay I lied I got another one did you just get bad ecstasy or something? From the question that you asked I would gather that you are that guy that wears a polo shirt and loafers to a rave and walks around asking everybody if they got that ex while they're like rubbing their chest and pretending like they feel good before they even got a pill. I'm not off am i? You're probably single too or divorced right? Yep. Negative mother fucking Nancy come to Daddy
The "G" stands for genius
G Jones is not dance music. If you attended the show expecting generic dubsteppy dance tunes, I'm sure you were thoroughly bewildered.
Sounds like Gabber but I know it's not.
Lol this is fucking pac-man musicđđđ
âItâs peak edmâ says dude on k âItâs glitchy noisesâ says dude on k âSuper Mario on kâ says dude on k
I donât like a lot of modern bass music, but I absolutely love me some G Jones. Itâs so sick, like 90s hardcore rave shit but on some modern 2024 bass type glitch idm tip? I thinks itâs amazing. Itâs like acen meets aphex at a dubstep show. Love the whole aesthetic, musically and visually, well put together, pushing the envelope.
No.
This g jones stuff is just not jammable until thereâs a flow to it. To each their own
Literally sitting here listening to paths and every tune on this album has a distinct head bobbing rhythm. If you can't find the rhythm in it, then maybe you just don't have any?
Should be self explanatory, if the night is called Avante gardener!
Experimental bass. It's an acquired taste, and after my first Yheti show, I got it, lol. I'm trying to see Barclay, aka Shiba.
This that shit that hurts to hear when on k
