On the assignment
The artists presented on this website are a compilation of my top 8 most played artists of the past week. These are presented in a CSS Grid layout that scales with the website, adjusting the amount of columns dynamically. One particular thing to note is that these are mostly EDM artists, which implies I have a specific preference for EDM, something that is perfectly true. Electronic dance music (EDM), also known as dance music, club music, or simply dance, is a broad range of percussive electronic music genres made largely for nightclubs, raves, and festivals. It is generally produced for playback by DJs who create seamless selections of tracks, called a DJ mix, by segueing from one recording to another. EDM producers also perform their music live in a concert or festival setting in what is sometimes called a live PA.
My preferences
A little fun fact: Fox Stevenson, the first artist presented in this compilation, is my most played artist of all time. This is my personal ranking of the artists presented on this website:
- Fox Stevenson
- Virtual Riot
- Apashe
- Good Kid
- April
- Knock2
- Grant
- Sammy Virji
Gathering the data
The data used in this assignment was gathered by .fmbot from the last.fm API, because I couldn't be bothered to gather the data and parse it in JS and display it on the website myself. This is a perfectly reasonable decision in my opinion, as this is way outside the scope of this project.
