  • If you are a fan of electronic music, you probably have heard of Odesza. They’ve received multiple Grammy nominations, had their music used in commercials by major companies such as Apple, Nissan, and Peloton, and have sold out numerous world tours. It’s safe to say that Odesza is a household name with fans of electronic music. But maybe you don't know the full story. Maybe you find yourself asking - “how did they get here?”

    Tell me about how you first discovered Odesza! I found them through Pandora in 2014 right after they released In Return and I was immediately hooked

    I’ve never been a huge EDM listener but when I heard these guys, I was hooked. I first saw them live in august 2022 at merriweather in Maryland and it was the greatest show I had ever seen. These guys are amazing

    As an "Odesza cult member" (per my mom) its difficult to describe the impact they've had on my life. things havent always been easy in life but for some reason their music makes me want to face them head on. LOL yeah.....Im just so thankful hahah. I hope to tell them in person, but if I dont its ok. I get to live life with less weight.

    I remember discovering Odesza by complete accident looking for a song called Say my name by Peking Duck and autoplay sent me to Say my name by Odesza afterwards and I was immediately like "Who is this??? It's so fucking good!" Here I am nearly 10 years and a bunch of shows later with their icosahedron tattoo'd on me

    I found out about them in 2016 when the Microsoft video game Forza horizon 3 came out. The game had radio stations that you could use and listen to music while you were driving around two of their songs were in the game and I immediately fell in love with their music. Since then, I’ve been there for every album and single releases and just saw them in concert in September of 2023. They’re now my favorite artist and the best artist I’ve ever seen live.

    From wikipedia: The band's name is taken from the name of Mills' uncle's sunken vessel, which was named after the Ukrainian city of Odesa. Only his uncle and one other crew mate survived.[17] Since the spelling "Odessa" was already being used by a Scottish synth band, they instead chose to use a form of the Hungarian spelling, replacing the "ss" with "sz".[18] The correct spelling in Hungarian is “Odessza”. Awesome Video! Wish they had more BTS videos, would be interesting to see a documentary about their live show production. Also, Late Nite was a rework of LLC by beachesbeaches, it’s a shame they deleted LLC from the face of the earth. It was definitely a great song.

    Odesza was introduced to me by my cousin in December of 2018. I hadn't seen him in years (barring a week in July that same year) and we hit it off like we had never spent any time apart. He has actually introduced me to a lot of artists I like now like AJR, Jon Bellion, Wooli, and Porter Robinson. For me, Odesza will always encapsulate that week I spent in TX with him. I even got to see them live with him at ACL in 2023 it was an amazing show 10000% would recommend anything they do live.

  • @drwhalemusic

    I'll offer an anecdote, which is that I was at CRSSD festival in March 2015 where they played Bronco for what I later learned was only the 3rd time. Nobody in the crowd had heard it, and it was the final closer at the end of an otherwise strictly dreamy-styled set that you'd expect from them at the time. To this day, as someone who has seen hundreds of electronic shows, that horn drop in bronco at that show was the single most wild crowd reaction I have seen. At a time when trap/dubstep/womp-y music was so massive and ODESZAs softer tones seemed like their edge, it was really the ultimate flex to drop the single coolest trap beat of the entire festival/year. Good memories... maybe its nostalgia/bias but I still do prefer that live bronco version to the official Loyal. Chills every time!

    • @audioeats
      @audioeats  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah Bronko was absolutely wild, I also saw them in March 2015 in Nashville and the energy of the crowd skyrocketed as soon as they played it. I agree that Bronko was a little bit cooler than Loyal, it's still a cool track but I think those pre drop vocals really set it off.

    • @audioeats
      @audioeats  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah that's fair, though if their ticket prices didn't go up their show production wouldn't be nearly as crazy as it is now. The first time I saw them in 2015 it was $15

      Like a full blown orchestra? There are a handful of videos on TH-cam of that set but it just looks like their normal set to me. There's one video of their drumline performing with them during that set, but they've been doing that at every show for a long time now, and they have used trumpet & trombone players a lot in recent years
