RICHMOND, VA—In a controversial case that has had the internet's electronic music scene up in arms, a deaf EDM producer has only been booked by promoters for power noise shows since his debut in the scene.
Danny Smith, aka EeerDrumz, has been practicing and toying with synthesizers and DAWs for the past eight years, but it was not until recently that he got his first gig. "I posted an ad on Craigslist linking anyone curious to what I do. I was contacted a few weeks later by some dude who told me to go to his venue in Colorado."
Things immediately did not seem right for EeerDrumz. When he arrived at the venue, it looked like a broken down hole in the wall, not the usual lit up, drunken college bro party he was used to seeing on the internet. That didn't stop him from playing the set with his whole heart, however.
"As the set went on, all these goth-punk whatever-looking people flooded the dancefloor and I could not understand. I thought they hated EDM, but I made them party all night. They were really into it. It was then that I realized that my music must be so good that it's able to cross some sort of subcultural barrier."
EeerDrumz is currently setting up a new EDM night in his hometown of Richmond, VA which is already making waves across the power noise scene.
