It was either the last full moon or a fortune cookie; but, something inspired me to match our musical tastes with how we interpret the zodiac. Indulging in daily, weekly, and monthly editions of astrological breakdowns my whole life long, or gauging just how right Mr. Right actually is based on his birthday... I can't help but imagine it would be better to map musical influences like cosmic ones. If sound identified with the stars it would go something like this:
1. Aries- Progressive House
Energetic, adventurous, and dynamic. Is that Axwell in your ears or are you just happy to see me?
2. Taurus- Deep House
Patient, reliable, loving and persistent. Deep house is definitely warm-hearted and even self-indulgent. Gives off the heady "We are all stardust" vibe.
3. Gemini- Breakbeat
Indecisive, intelligent, and inconsistent AF this was a clear connection. The loops and syncopated rhythm make it hard to keep up but we love them anyways.
4. Cancer- Drum & Bass
Coming off the cusp of breakbeat with a Black Sun Empire in Jungle rising is the ever changing, impulsive, shrewd, and imaginative styling of drum & bass.
P.S. Respect Drum & Bass is taking over Avalon this month; so, your horoscope reads that the planets will align on August 25 around 10 p.m. and the heavens will bless thee with all the eargasms.
5. Leo- Disco
From water to fire making a quantum leap through EDM genres back to our roots. Good ol' disco. Generous, warm-hearted, expansive and surely pompous. Disco lion untz untz disco lion untz untz
6. Virgo- House
Back to an earth sign... Can you tell I reallyyyy like house yet? Virgos and house are truly practical, reliable, and diligent. Love Virgos, love house music. Slide into my DMs if you think it's in the stars for us ;)
7. Libra- Ambient
Ahhhh My BFF and partner in crime (not an admission of guilt). Ambient and Libri are the chill of all chills with balance, beauty, and flirtatious perfection. Highly recommend raving the night away with either.
8. Scorpio- Dubstep
Wasn't it obvious?? Powerful, obstinate, determined and yet transient, dubstep comes in and out of our lives like a toxic relationship. Be wary of extraordinary facial responses.
9. Sagittarius- Trap
Blindly optimistic, free-spirited and often lacking in tact these two go hand in hand. Youthful constellation and oscillation with a Sun in RL Grimes' House.
10. Capricorn- Techno
Practical, dominant, disciplined. Just so happens one of my favies Nicole Moudaber represents both.
11. Aquarius- Trance
Yours truly, an Aquarius Princess and Trance Queen... Obv had to give the best genre to the best sign. We are known as humanitarian, loyal, original, and independent. Undeniable flow, endlessly climbing to new heights, truly cosmic and transcendental.
12. Pisces- Trouse
Fluctuating, deep, imaginative and indecisive. Not dominantly one thing or the other but a combination creating a wonderful balance. Bringing us full circle bridging the styles and completing the EDM Zodiac.
Now get out there and find your musical match!
