Fidget burned hot and fast and all but began to fade out as the Dubstep fad unfolded itself onto the scene just as the Commercialized EDM Explosion expanded its base to a larger market due to artists like David Guetta, Steve Aoki, Skrillex etc. This brought EDM back out of the Underground and up to the mainstream. Dubstep surged during this time and could be heard on the radio, TV and in movies. It seemed one could not go a day without hearing the robotic noise of Dubstep, and Fidget had become a relic of the past. Even Underground Artists that were Wonky Fidgety Electro in style began to move in the direction of Dubstep and all but ceased in the production of Fidget. All hope was lost for many Fidget fans..Thankfully, in recent weeks I've caught glimpses of social media posts from acts such as Filthy Rehab and Defunct! posting comments in regards to their return to fidget:
and I must say the new sound from Defunct! is nice!
Fidget is more than just an EDM genre, it's a way of life; and I knew the Filthy Electro Fidget Greats couldn't stay away from its grasp forever. Keep looking for more Fidget to come, We're coming back!
