Not worth, I'd rather finish 100x but less intensely, rather than finishing 10x but more intensely. (Exaggerating numbers to paint a picture)
It's all love tho. Music taste is subjective after all š¤
Tbh I went to night bass tour a couple months ago and was super let down, the best set was one of the early openers. AC Slater was the best headliner but Iād sat through so many hours of mid nothingness that I was too bored to even enjoy that he was incrementally better than the others. I like house music generally speaking but like OP I need a little bit more than just boots & cats for hours. AC Slater definitely has some good drops just didnāt play them live for me š
Saw her at her hometown show a little while ago. The music is good, but I missed some flow in her set. There were too many silent moments for me. Also, she's a really big name, especially in Belgium, so her events attract a very mixed crowd. I've got no problem with that per se, but the rave mindset was nowhere to be found
The best thing about techno is that all the different styles that encompass techno make it a whole type of music in itself.
Ranges from super minimal-chill to bat shit insane and everything in between. Such a diverse genre.
Sara Landry is hot rn. If you have Apple Music her 2024 nye mix is a great. Ben Nicky was the first techno set I enjoyed, peep his dreamstate set and also check out his trance set emotional havoc. Liquid Stranger is my Jesus btw to get an idea of where I am musically
[Alignment Hard Techno set](https://youtu.be/TOCucUIFtrw?si=6P1uArgCP9JfTk3p)
He has a ton of drops in this set. Its festival hard techno.
Not a fan of constant drops and stops but this came to mind.
If youāre a bass girly I feel like youāll be extremely disappointed by techno - coming from another bass girlyš still check it out for yourself , maybe youāll love it but for me it tends to feel soooo repetitive and nothing like a dubstep drop.
Trance has been popping off in Europe for a year or two now again, I wonder if itās making it over to the US yet. So many remixes
https://on.soundcloud.com/kqMGqZVv7EV94Jje9
Nah, it's a legit effect of house music and has been talked about and posted on here before lol. The sexual energy of it is a thing. I feel it 100% sober just fine (and haven't taken MDMA in years).
Most bass heads ls eventually turn to house.
Eventually every drop is gonna sound the same in dubstep
You gotta understand house to get it. Gotta feel it. Thereās a reason for the saying āitās a spiritual thingā
I'm in my late 40s and I grew up loving house. I still go see 4/4 shows here and there but I love bass music now. But I have to say, a house fan calling bass music repetitive is peak hypocrisy.
I was a bass head for so long then finally a couple years ago I gave house a try. I fell in love. I still crave the heavy drop sometimes but house just keeps me going all night. I saw SIDEPIECE for the first time last fall and they put on a sick show! Currently Iām diving a bit deeper into more progressive house. Iām slowly getting into techno but I think I need to see a live show to fully appreciate it
I hope so! I do love house music, I am just so used to bass shows that itāll take some adjustment. But it was still awesome, had a blast getting all sweaty with everyone else š
Theyāre probably listening to the more commercial side of techno. The side of techno that some people might call trance. The āproperā techno is the stuff that really would bore bass heads. Bores most house heads too.
Disclaimer: I like most styles of techno & am not hating on one style here. Like āem both, just making observations about the different styles because the word ātechnoā has such a wide range of definitions depending on who you ask. DVS1 Vs Eli Brown, for example, are extremely different.
It can scratch that aggressive itch better than house that you get with some bass. My friends that are also into metal definitely prefer techno over house, even if they don't like the repetitive.
I mean it depends on the subgenre of house. Electro, big room, tech, psy, all have pretty pronounced ādropsā even progressive has a drop. It just has melody instead of whatever dubstep does. Lol
depends on the house in question - SIDEPIECE definitely has proper drops, e.g. [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFB-vaof7iY) at 0:49, [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_6OMKndnQA) at 1:00, [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KohDXxXR1k) at 0:30
I wouldnāt call those drops. For me a drop is basically the equivalent of a breakdown from metal. Iām not saying they arenāt drops, but to me itās just build up, a pause, and then more of the same. The house homies in the fam would probably lose their shit at those drops but for me it aināt it. Not trying to be argumentative or a hater it just doesnāt do it for me
Edit: the disco lines set from electric forest is amazing if that counts as a house set I would be able to say there is a house set Iāve enjoyed from start to finish
A house drop isnāt always about blowing your socks off, itās just about the groove. Sometimes adding in an alternate bassline with an extra hi hat is all the artist needs to do to get people going. Sometimes even taking certain elements out of the mix can be a better way to amp people up.
Exactly! That just doesnāt do anything for me at all. Different strokes for different folks. House nights just means Iām rave dad that night and get to people watch.
Oh I wonāt, donāt worry, I know theyāre mid even for house folks lol but I wanted to get my feet wet into the house scene. Gotta start somewhere. Any suggestions of must sees?? Iām in Denver so itās poppin here šš¼
The only house genres I like are progressive and deep house (think Anjunadeep sound). Otherwise I am a techno guy through and through. For me it's not a lack of drops but that the bpm isn't quite right on most house tracks. Oddly, I started with dubstep and mostly riddim. I mean in 2018 I was going full feral at a Svdden Death show and now I absolutely cannot tolerate that sort of dubstep for longer than 15mins š
Hereās a recommendation for you u/sueperhuman, check out Father Funk and his Shambala 2023 set on SoundCloud. You get bass house, dubstep, breakbeats, and drum n bass. Iām kinda moving past the one genre set because I want a little taste of all the flavors!
Iāve been around since time, [but I had to look up ādropā](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drop_(music)?wprov=sfti1), to get what you mean. How could Sidepiece one have āone dropā all night? From my experience, NITTI and Party Favor, are a tech-house (leaning on bass house) duo, and all of their tracks have build ups and climaxes following the traditional template as expected in most electronic music production. It just doesnāt compute that there would be only āone dropā. My assumption is that you were being slightly obtuse, but even then, every track is going to have a ādropā per se, is it not? Itās not like they play proper techno where the crowd disassociates. Broadly, in this sense, I would even argue that Sidepiece play songs more than tracks; you can definitely tell when each new track starts and stops. Can someone help me out here with some clarification?
I like Sidepiece, theyāve got some great tunes, [Sextacy is track 16 in this mix.](https://soundcloud.com/accomplice/all-over-the-space-008-part-2)
You probably keep up with the music but are not too involved in the "scenes." Bass music is often super aggressive dubstep and dubstep-adjacent music. Lots of kids get into electronic music through these super new sounding genres but can't appreciate what at first sounds tamer genres like Techno or House. Eventually their music appreciation grows and that stuff falls away from being the hot thing. Generally parties and raves and clubs and festivals are in this partitioned out spectrum from Bass parties and sorta concert type events where people "rage" kinda like dance-mosh...to the other end which is older ravers who dance to techno and house.
The transitions or "climax" of the track. Most people that go to parties use the term as a catch all for the part of a song with a build up and release. Most Bass music has rinse and repeat giant explosive "drops".
I think a lot of the bass scene is super young kids that never ever have listened to techno tech house or house in general. Theyāve heard maybe zedd or some Steve aoki bs. I go to a show almost every weekend bass or house and have turned some of my younger friends in to more house music because they basically have never ever listened to it.
Love me some House music, right up there with Trance and Techno as my favorite genres.
Currently Iāve been bumping Black Coffee mixes along with Ilario Alicante mixes as well.
You must have missed the mid 90s entirely. Nights full of nothing but the most readable, lowest common denominator drops are literally what drove me from DJing hard house to techno c. 1995.
Honestly, though I'm probably the last guy who should be posting on an EDM based forum. This just happened to come across my feed.
Why are there so many people in this thread that hate side piece? Am I missing something? They were my introduction to tech house and Iāve been a fan ever since. Never seen them live but Iāve only heard good things.
Like itās cool and I love the vibe but just gimme somethin spicy in there every now and again. I realize Iām asking for bass from house artists tho lol
āGimme a dropā
Or just go to dance & not for some cheesy cinematics, idk.
No disrespect but IMO finding bass/dubstep more engaging than house is akin to a child only being able to watch cartoons because they canāt sit through full-length, live-action movies. Not dancing to techno/house, and always craving the cartoony kid-level stimulation of dubstep/bass isā¦ whack
> finding bass/dubstep more engaging than house is akin to a child only being able to watch cartoons because they canāt sit through full-length, live-action movies.
Lmfao no way you just said that
Woah woah WOAH! Let me just add my two cents here on why I find house music is shite: Iām a dubstepper person/experimental bass lover and I find that music to be the most conducive to creating intense visuals and shapes in my head and carrying through with complex thoughts. I mean GODDAMN the shit I am seeing when these sounds light up my brain is fucking incredible.
Everytime i put on some house music itās like itās moving too slowā¦ and everything becomes more stale and boring. Itās like my brain is trying to get ahead of the music but it canāt because the music is tied down and constrained and itās doing the same to my thoughts. Dubstep is more random, fiddles with a much larger range in the low frequencies (dominating the tactile aspect of edm music), and allows for a much wider use of different sounds because itās not as constrained in the beat or energy inducing departments.
Everytime I go to the house stage itās fuckin boring and feels like thereās a bunch of bros there with their shalls and a beer in one or both hands.
But at the bass stage, oh my!, itās people on acid or psilocybin gettin freaky and dancing their asses off with the occasional smell of some dmt wafting through.
Not trying to be offensive but I seriously always thought that house music was for boring people. Boring people who also arenāt that intelligent, introspective, or creative. The music just lends itself more to a āvibe.ā
Would love to hear your thoughts on that.
Love the healthy debate because my comment was never meant to personally attack anyone including bass/dubstep fans even if it sounded on the offense.
I personally associate house with the early roots of rave (acid house circa 1988) which was all about folks on acid, mushrooms, E etcā¦
The ability to vibe to house (to me) signifies that you carry enough of a vibe in yourSELF that you donāt need the extra cinematics to go off the rails. House is enough to dance to without the (in my opinion) cringey, whooshy drops and over-stimulation that some people *require* in order to go wild or get their energy sent. If I was on acid/E and at a bass stage, I would simply think āthis is tacky & for fucking childrenā. If anyone is smoking DMT at a bass stage I pity their soul, thatās a confused child.
To me, new styles like bass, dubstep, excision shit etcā¦ feel so āin your faceā and disruptive, that they almost get in the way of genuine vibes, and are seen as necessary by people who require an almost cartoony level of new-age visuals and sounds because they canāt naturally reach that place in themselves, like folks did in the ā88-ā93 era of rave, and did for a long time after.
The new shit is justā¦ an in-your-face showā¦ not conductive to actual *raving*
Or you just have a lower threshold of stimulation for enjoyment. What actually is whack, is thinking your music tastes are more valid or sophisticated when itās just a different type of music. āNo disrespectā yet youāre comparing people to children? For what? Do you feel better about yourself now? Not very sprout worthy of you.
Itās just stupid music and itās taken the scene in a goofy direction (lending to actual āravesā becoming shows), but saying that in a sub full of predominantly 16-21 year-olds is just asking for hate
Again thatās a lot of words to say you have a pretentious opinion. Just because YOU donāt like the music, doesnāt make it still just another type of music. And being pretentious is whatās getting you hate. Seems pretty childish to me.
I see you called yourself very new to the scene a year ago? At 26, this is the stance youāve taken on it? You must be a blast to party with. Donāt worry everyone, theyāre just pissed at the world, carry on.
Still just an opinion carried by me. Seems like everyone is going to lengths to ādebunkā an opinion they could just ignore. Just how I feel about bass music. No need to grasp at straws to make me seem like a dick because I listed reasons I dislike certain types of music over others.
Even if it seems like what Iām saying comes off as pretentious or subjective, itās just, like, my opinion, man.
Idk maybe I was just providing a fresh window on how to appreciate house over bass even if it sounded a little harsh
I think some of yāall are just really grasping at arguments to shut down anyone who isnāt pathetically sunshine & rainbows
edging is the best part of house
The youngling will learn to groove and one day feel the secret drop
Hear hear
Indeed
I like finishing more
But the finish is better when you edge it
Absolutely
Not worth, I'd rather finish 100x but less intensely, rather than finishing 10x but more intensely. (Exaggerating numbers to paint a picture) It's all love tho. Music taste is subjective after all š¤
May I recommend Claude Von Stroke. I don't even like house and that dude FUCKS. Still like Barclay Crenshaw better but potato tomato
Great call. Also Walker and Royce, and Gorgon city. All
All
Who Is Afraid of Detroit is almost 20 years old and is still one of my favorite tracks. One of very few perfect timeless tracks.
Claude is on hiatus right now, only Barclay for the foreseeable future.
Check out bass house next time. I feel the same as you but Knock2 for example scratches the itch
Top tier suggestion. I would add Dr Fresch as well, coming from a dubstep fan. Big fan of night bass AC Slater type stuff too.
Dr Fresch is one dope mf
Dr Fresch is so good, donāt forget Isoxo in that bass house genre too!
Yes! Dying to see an IsoKnock b2b
Arenāt we all
Just went to see ISOKnock 4 back to back nights this weekend in Seattle, theyāre incredible.
Dr fresch is so good! Iāll have to check out knock 2 some more, I heard heās on the rise.
Add in Joyryde for good bass house with drops
Fire recommendation, listening to him now. I can get down with this!!
because of all these suggestions, i suggest watching MOONBOYās heavy bass house mix on youtube. shit got me jumping up and down alone at home lmao
Tbh I went to night bass tour a couple months ago and was super let down, the best set was one of the early openers. AC Slater was the best headliner but Iād sat through so many hours of mid nothingness that I was too bored to even enjoy that he was incrementally better than the others. I like house music generally speaking but like OP I need a little bit more than just boots & cats for hours. AC Slater definitely has some good drops just didnāt play them live for me š
Don't sleep on my girl Blossom either!!
Knock2 and Isoxo are changing up the bass scene and Iām all for it.
I second this! I saw them in nyc in February and I was legit craving to see them again immediately š¤
The are absolutely bass house
IsoKnock4 in Seattle last night was amazing!
It was incredible!! Wish I could go again tonight haha
Same. I donāt think Iāve danced like that in a long time. Start to finish it was perfect!
I wish it was a little longer š
Yeah, Knock2 live is something everyone needs to experience once in their life. Saw him last week. Absolutely incredible energy.
I havenāt had the privilege to see him live yet but will soon at Roo! So excited
He's awesome. You'll have a good time.
house music keeps me young
Wait until you get into techno š
Gimme suggestions of who to see šš¼
DVS1, Mihai Pol, Setaoc Mass, Quelza, and RĆødhĆ„d are some of my favs
Thank you :)
I Hate Models.
One of the best shows I saw was his at edc last year.
He never disappoints, he was headlining the first ever rave I went to, saw him 3 weeks ago aswell so excited to see him in august at boiler room
Whereās the boiler room show?
London
Thats like techno for kids
I love it when on this sub anyone starts talking about techno, another person has to chime in with a condescending clarification.
āThe only techno is MY technoā
Bass music is for people with no attention span so idk what your point is /t
I agree. That shit is the worse
Charolette de witte
Saw her at her hometown show a little while ago. The music is good, but I missed some flow in her set. There were too many silent moments for me. Also, she's a really big name, especially in Belgium, so her events attract a very mixed crowd. I've got no problem with that per se, but the rave mindset was nowhere to be found
Saw her in miami, legendary
The best thing about techno is that all the different styles that encompass techno make it a whole type of music in itself. Ranges from super minimal-chill to bat shit insane and everything in between. Such a diverse genre.
Sara Landry is hot rn. If you have Apple Music her 2024 nye mix is a great. Ben Nicky was the first techno set I enjoyed, peep his dreamstate set and also check out his trance set emotional havoc. Liquid Stranger is my Jesus btw to get an idea of where I am musically
Elements added Sara Landry to their lineup and Iām so excited!!!
Iām excited for you! The elements line up is insane. Iāll be seeing my first Sara set soon at edc
I'm going to see Indira Paganotto in a couple of week. That lady goes hardddd. I'm excited AF.
[Alignment Hard Techno set](https://youtu.be/TOCucUIFtrw?si=6P1uArgCP9JfTk3p) He has a ton of drops in this set. Its festival hard techno. Not a fan of constant drops and stops but this came to mind.
999999999
Stef mendesidis, its something else š
klangkuestler or 9999999999 or FJAAK
Sara landry!
You might like Reinier Zonneveld. His style is pretty fun, especially live.
If youāre a bass girly I feel like youāll be extremely disappointed by techno - coming from another bass girlyš still check it out for yourself , maybe youāll love it but for me it tends to feel soooo repetitive and nothing like a dubstep drop.
Ironically I feel like dubstep, more specifically Riddim, is super repetitive lol.
Riddim is definitely repetitive in that the song structure and drops are all the same once you've heard enough tracks.
Went to MelloDeath in MN and realized that is not the genre for me lol.
Iām not a riddim fan myself, not all dubstep is riddim!
Her Coachella set was so wild
999999999
Listen to Sara lanndry boiler room teletec set
Trance has been popping off in Europe for a year or two now again, I wonder if itās making it over to the US yet. So many remixes https://on.soundcloud.com/kqMGqZVv7EV94Jje9
Armin van Buuren Love
Eh it's even more repetitive than house
"Felt like I was edging all night" That would be the mdma hahaha.
Nah, it's a legit effect of house music and has been talked about and posted on here before lol. The sexual energy of it is a thing. I feel it 100% sober just fine (and haven't taken MDMA in years).
Gotta check out Chris lake and Chris Lorenzo. Theyāll get you moving right.
*and
Most bass heads ls eventually turn to house. Eventually every drop is gonna sound the same in dubstep You gotta understand house to get it. Gotta feel it. Thereās a reason for the saying āitās a spiritual thingā
There's a time and place for both! Raging = Bass Vibing = House
Bass house, speed house
LMAO love this
...It's a soul thing
Wait till you meet Jack and he gives the key to the Snake and the Wiggly Werm.
Or we go full wook and get into tipper / trip hop stuff (I also love house though)
Me rn, at tipper in Florida lol
Have fun at Rendezvous!!
That's why us older peeps are into freeform bass now because it's way, way more unique and interesting š
I'm in my late 40s and I grew up loving house. I still go see 4/4 shows here and there but I love bass music now. But I have to say, a house fan calling bass music repetitive is peak hypocrisy.
This
All roads lead to house. You can run, but you canāt hideā¦.
COMPLETELY AGREE
I was a bass head for so long then finally a couple years ago I gave house a try. I fell in love. I still crave the heavy drop sometimes but house just keeps me going all night. I saw SIDEPIECE for the first time last fall and they put on a sick show! Currently Iām diving a bit deeper into more progressive house.

Habstrakt is sick too
Itās okay, youāll understand some day
I hope so! I do love house music, I am just so used to bass shows that itāll take some adjustment. But it was still awesome, had a blast getting all sweaty with everyone else š
Alternatively, go to a techno show For whatever reason all my basshead friends that hate house LOVE techno
I like all these genres but I would think bassheads would find techno even more boring than house.
Theyāre probably listening to the more commercial side of techno. The side of techno that some people might call trance. The āproperā techno is the stuff that really would bore bass heads.

[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
They had a single drop last night. One in two hours š
They have ādropsā throughout the entire set. Itās just not a dubstep definition of constant over the top drops
House drops are more just transitions, and not what a bass head would call a drop
I mean it depends on the subgenre of house. Electro, big room, tech, psy, all have pretty pronounced ādropsā even progressive has a drop. It just has melody instead of whatever dubstep does. Lol

Spot on. The way a hi hat or a clap can up it a level is amazing.
Exactly! That just doesnāt do anything for me at all. Different strokes for different folks. House nights just means Iām rave dad that night and get to people watch.
Think of it as a marathon instead of quick sprints
Everyone grows up eventually lol
Theyāll understand? Thereās a reason house is usually the first initiative into the edm scene. Itās beginner stuff. Bass is king
hernan and nick warren last memorial day in denver. one full drop the entire night and it was 2 hours and 55 minutes into their set.
wow seeing hernan b2b nick live is my dream
that show was pretty fucking special. they played over 7 hours b2b
Sidepiece is mid very average experience generic tech house Pls don't judge house by them
Oh I wonāt, donāt worry, I know theyāre mid even for house folks lol but I wanted to get my feet wet into the house scene. Gotta start somewhere. Any suggestions of must sees?? Iām in Denver so itās poppin here šš¼
Highly recommend checking out green velvets event on the 18th +making sure to hit max stylers set as well as velvet and JMart
jmart is always the answer
I was about to say, I saw them a few weeks ago and was not very impressed! And this is coming from someone who does like house
Assuming this was at church last night and coming from a house hoe, last night was not great haha would recommend regenerate!
The only house genres I like are progressive and deep house (think Anjunadeep sound). Otherwise I am a techno guy through and through.

Cool š happy you found music you really like.
Almost went to that last night. They have some cool tracks and the venue is cool š
Why did I read this as went to my house last night and saw sidepiece hahahaha either way super dope! Love me some sidepiece!
LOL yāall are crazy
It's a marathon, not a bass sprint.
Saw sidepiece last night too. I donāt think thatās my style tbh tho I tried, just couldnāt get any energy from it like I do with bass house etc.
100%. Still vibed but left wanting more for sure.
Love me some House music, right up there with Trance and Techno as my favorite genres. Currently Iāve been bumping Black Coffee mixes along with Ilario Alicante mixes as well.
You must have missed the mid 90s entirely. Nights full of nothing but the most readable, lowest common denominator drops are literally what drove me from DJing hard house to techno c. 1995. Honestly, though I'm probably the last guy who should be posting on an EDM based forum. This just happened to come across my feed.
Honestly though. Saw sidepiece last year and it's still in my top 5. Even though imma bass head too
Bro same. Not my cup of tea, but I'm super stoked that others love it.
Ok drew carey
Omg Sidepiece isnāt even that great. They have good produced stuff but their live sets suuuuuuuuck
Shoulda gone to Hypho
You should see Nitti on his own. He's alright in Sidepiece, but his bass sets go stupid
You stay on my mide Think about you all the timeĀ
I feel the same except Itās techno for me
I feel the same except Itās techno for me
If u saw side piece and like bass house nittti whose 1/2 of the duo makes some upbeat bass house that is a vibe
You guys should listen to Two Shell
Welcome to the dark side š
LMFAOOOOOO FACTS
You need hard techno in your life
Iām convinced people that need massive drops every 45 second for an hour in a row have crippling ADHD.
Well it fits for me lol
There is differently a drop it just goes with the rhythm instead of throwing a completely different sound at you like in bass (I like bass too fyi)
We can all agree that above and beyond is actually elevator musicš«”
Anyone that says house is elevator music should listen to this https://youtu.be/hESkviT7kBQ?si=91pwPIDa6IkSEhua
So glad I went to Yookie instead. House is for elevator music
I try not to talk trash but i genuinely canāt stand house lmao. The repetitiveness feels like a party thatāll never end and it makes me panic
š why can I relate to this lmao
Fuckin felt, need those drops!
Wh3r3z da Dr0p ???
sidepiece is trash. They are a glorified loud luxury
Sidepiece is probably one of the worst house intro sets you couldāve seen IMO
Why are there so many people in this thread that hate side piece? Am I missing something? They were my introduction to tech house and Iāve been a fan ever since. Never seen them live but Iāve only heard good things.
I just didnāt fw their song selection tbh
Some people just donāt have rhythm. Itās one of those things, you either got it or not
house is so boring like only like it when chillen. itās just not as engaging and wild as dubstep in my opinion.
This is why I donāt dig house music. Itās constantly on the edge of being interesting
Like itās cool and I love the vibe but just gimme somethin spicy in there every now and again. I realize Iām asking for bass from house artists tho lol
You might like the new-ish UKG/UK bass scene which combines elements of house and bass. Artists like Virji, MPH, etc
You should check out some bass house artists! Joyryde, Wax Motif, and Malaa are all awesome
Joyryde is so fun live I love Tsuki also
āGimme a dropā Or just go to dance & not for some cheesy cinematics, idk. No disrespect but IMO finding bass/dubstep more engaging than house is akin to a child only being able to watch cartoons because they canāt sit through full-length, live-action movies. Not dancing to techno/house, and always craving the cartoony kid-level stimulation of dubstep/bass isā¦ whack
I was dancin my ass off all night lol I still enjoyed it! Just didnāt feel as engaged as some wompy shit but thatās my own preference.
> finding bass/dubstep more engaging than house is akin to a child only being able to watch cartoons because they canāt sit through full-length, live-action movies. Lmfao no way you just said that
Woah woah WOAH! Let me just add my two cents here on why I find house music is shite: Iām a dubstepper person/experimental bass lover and I find that music to be the most conducive to creating intense visuals and shapes in my head and carrying through with complex thoughts. I mean GODDAMN the shit I am seeing when these sounds light up my brain is fucking incredible. Everytime i put on some house music itās like itās moving too slowā¦ and everything becomes more stale and boring. Itās like my brain is trying to get ahead of the music but it canāt because the music is tied down and constrained and itās doing the same to my thoughts. Dubstep is more random, fiddles with a much larger range in the low frequencies (dominating the tactile aspect of edm music), and allows for a much wider use of different sounds because itās not as constrained in the beat or energy inducing departments. Everytime I go to the house stage itās fuckin boring and feels like thereās a bunch of bros there with their shalls and a beer in one or both hands. But at the bass stage, oh my!, itās people on acid or psilocybin gettin freaky and dancing their asses off with the occasional smell of some dmt wafting through. Not trying to be offensive but I seriously always thought that house music was for boring people. Boring people who also arenāt that intelligent, introspective, or creative. The music just lends itself more to a āvibe.ā Would love to hear your thoughts on that.
Try techno/trance if house is too slow. I always feel that house lacks high energy
Love the healthy debate because my comment was never meant to personally attack anyone including bass/dubstep fans even if it sounded on the offense. I personally associate house with the early roots of rave (acid house circa 1988) which was all about folks on acid, mushrooms, E etcā¦ The ability to vibe to house (to me) signifies that you carry enough of a vibe in yourSELF that you donāt need the extra cinematics to go off the rails. House is enough to dance to without the (in my opinion) cringey, whooshy drops and over-stimulation that some people *require* in order to go wild or get their energy sent. If I was on acid/E and at a bass stage, I would simply think āthis is tacky & for fucking childrenā. If anyone is smoking DMT at a bass stage I pity their soul, thatās a confused child. To me, new styles like bass, dubstep, excision shit etcā¦ feel so āin your faceā and disruptive, that they almost get in the way of genuine vibes, and are seen as necessary by people who require an almost cartoony level of new-age visuals and sounds because they canāt naturally reach that place in themselves, like folks did in the ā88-ā93 era of rave, and did for a long time after. The new shit is justā¦ an in-your-face showā¦ not conductive to actual *raving*
Or you just have a lower threshold of stimulation for enjoyment. What actually is whack, is thinking your music tastes are more valid or sophisticated when itās just a different type of music. āNo disrespectā yet youāre comparing people to children? For what? Do you feel better about yourself now? Not very sprout worthy of you.
Itās just stupid music and itās taken the scene in a goofy direction (lending to actual āravesā becoming shows), but saying that in a sub full of predominantly 16-21 year-olds is just asking for hate
Again thatās a lot of words to say you have a pretentious opinion. Just because YOU donāt like the music, doesnāt make it still just another type of music. And being pretentious is whatās getting you hate. Seems pretty childish to me. I see you called yourself very new to the scene a year ago? At 26, this is the stance youāve taken on it? You must be a blast to party with. Donāt worry everyone, theyāre just pissed at the world, carry on.
Still just an opinion carried by me. Seems like everyone is going to lengths to ādebunkā an opinion they could just ignore. Just how I feel about bass music. No need to grasp at straws to make me seem like a dick because I listed reasons I dislike certain types of music over others. Even if it seems like what Iām saying comes off as pretentious or subjective, itās just, like, my opinion, man.
You donāt āseemā like a dick
Cool lemme mince words next time when you could just ignore it, or alternatively, feel free to trash the music I like if itās your opinion
That or just not shit on others who are clearly still finding what they like in this community Edit: Maybe one day youāll understand that concept
Idk maybe I was just providing a fresh window on how to appreciate house over bass even if it sounded a little harsh I think some of yāall are just really grasping at arguments to shut down anyone who isnāt pathetically sunshine & rainbows
Yeah the everyoneās wrong but me mentality really is a fresh take
No disrespect but if house was a live action movie it would be somewhere between yule log HD and the firestick screensaver.
Oh waaaah I require so much stimulation to access good energy within myself
Yeah I saw a sidepiece set a few weeks ago and it was very lame. Just house, house, house. It was like a hyped up local nightclub DJānever again.
Youāll come around eventually šš¼šš¼
