To put it simply, the track "Animals" itself fits a formula. So then what? First, Garrix was able to capitalize on the success of his predecessors by stringing together proven elements to produce the track. What is it about Martin Garrix's "Animals" that made it shoot up to #1 on Beatport's main chart? Why is it a summer anthem? Why did Martin Garrix's single go to #1 when his others haven't? Is it that much better than his other tracks or any of his contemporaries? In short, no, it's not. In this particular case let's examine the Spinnin' Records-released #1 hit "Animals" by Martin Garrix. While there has certainly been some fantastic work coming out of the most recent wave of releases, one cannot help but notice the inescapable presence of mediocre. Far from disregarded by the general public, copycat tracks can be found at the top of the charts and on main stages. While some say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, in an industry that relies on the limitless creative energy and encouragement of innovation of its major players, this trend is at best disheartening, and at worst poisonous to the continued growth and influence electronic dance music, just look at Skrillex and dubstep. However, many fear that this commercialism, rather than fuel artistic creativity and facilitate discovery of new talent, has encouraged the growing trend of copycatism. In recent years, dance music has continued to evolve and reach new commercial heights this has allowed artists to reach broader audiences and achieve higher levels of success.
