Knife Party - Destroy Them With Lazers is an oldie but a goodie!

Oh boy I have to physically stop myself from posting half my library ._.

You just sent my ADHD brain into the depths of my music library for 2 hrs. It’s early morning and I have shit do do man, why would you do this to me? There are soo many I could list here, ranging from Dubstep to Drum and Bass, to Bass Music and Trap and almost every other kind of electronic music. Most Techno, especially Trance basically revolves around building up and dropping one big and epic drop.

Personal bias and nostalgia, but Rusko - Everyday (Netsky Remix) has to be one of the sickest bass drops of all time.

If we start listing Techno drops here, this thread would never end, so I’ll refrain. Here’s just one example: Space 92 & The Yellowheads - Planet X

The same is true for Wave music, but here’s a taster: Deadcrow - GT1000

Disclosure, Eliza Doolittle - You & Me (Flume Remix) is a masterpiece in its own right. But this brass band live performance of the track restores my faith in humanity every time I listen to it.

Some honorable mentions in a similar vein:

• Camo & Krooked - Broken Pieces (Culture Shock Remix)
• Gentlemens Club, Paige Eliza - Ocean Drive
• SHAED - Trampoline (Jauz Remix)

Gonna have to go with My Chemical Brothers - Star Guitar for just the best bass drop in general. Like a whole new world. But it’s not a headbanger or anything.

If you want a headbanger: Born Slippy by NUXX

There’s also Livin’ Loose by George Clanton with a legendary bass drop, but it’s not very high energy, more like chilled out:

If you do want a bit more high energy:

Quicksand by Sweet Valley

If you want even more high energy and never heard of Sweet Trip, (or in general if you haven’t heard of Sweet Trip), I highly recommend it.

It’s one of those bands that you gotta listen to before you die because there’s nothing quite like them out there, even if you don’t end up liking them, the fact anyone makes music like this is pure enrichment of the human experience.

Tekka by Sweet Trip

Pro:lov:ad by Sweet Trip

Also if you like that song above, check out this fan-made music video by rigging a facegen AI to react to the beat of the music

If you want something more normal:

I wait for u (by the telephone) - Figurine

If modern electronic/rap is also okay: check out this, it’s basically death grips but less over the top experimental:

Not that I’m anywhere by Cities Aviv

And as an extra non-EDM “epic bass drop” (well more like drums kicking in), I can’t help but mention this:

Talking Distance by Soundbeam Sound Machine

and

Doomsday by Speedy Ortiz.

EDIT: sorry if that’s too many! It was hard to narrow it down to so few of my all time favourites that fit the criteria or that I think OP will like!

Oh man, I had that phase in my teenage years where I was absolutely obsessed with all that EDM music. My tastes are more varied now but I still enjoy those absolute headbangers.

• I.Y.F.F.E - Jurassic
• Lock N Bounce - Illusions
• Rameses B - Full Force
• xKore - Full Russian
• RIOT - Overkill

Monstercat Uncaged is still a great label to search through if you want more of this high energy stuff.

“On Her Majesty’s Secret Service” by Propellerheads has an amazing bass drop in the middle of the song.

I’m also partial to “Empire Ants” by Gorillaz.

The Only Thing They Fear Is You from the Doom Eternal soundtrack.

Dance Yrself Clean by LCD Soundsystem

Slow build, but when it drops…ooooh baby

High energy for sure.

Got to say Kernkraft 400 - Zombie Nation. But, Faithless with Insomnia is also great!

#1 Bass song for me

Mr Oizo - Analogue Worms Attack

501 - Headrush

Purity Ring - Stardew

Insomnia Faithless
