Halloween Rave

It’s Halloween, so this post is dedicated to 5 dark progressive house and tech house tunes that I enjoy, as I love this style on the daily regardless. Most of these are actually quite obscure (excluding the first one, obviously).

Bassnectar

Bassnectar is playing at the local Palladium Ballroom this Halloween, and I know that many people only know him for the extreme popularity of his live shows. And I’m sure even more folks are going simply because it’s something to do on October 31st. There’s nothing wrong with that, but I’m writing this post to introduce you to at least a few solid songs that he’s likely to spin before you casually waltz into the presence of this intelligent & creative musical artist.

Bass Head: “It’s like dubstep at warp speed, or more of that crazy mutant half-time jungle with hyphy 808 bass and a mega-sticky hook.”

Upside Down: “A massive banger of dubstep, drum & bass, and hip hop.”

Ellie GouldingLights (Bassnectar Remix): The combination of Ellie’s unique vocals and Lorin’s heavy beats are nothing short of greatness.

Wildstyle Method: “An incredibly dense track oozing aggressive hip/hop influenced basslines and frequency-stretching melodies.”

Bassnectar & JantsenRed Step: Yet another bomb that is 2 filthy 4 wordz.

Got any other good suggestions? Please comment and let me know!

Many people don’t know about this genre, and many who DO know about it think it sucks. Hopefully I can help change your opinion. If you prefer more chill d&b, listen to the Bonobo song and most definitely the Seba tracks.

I’m fairly certain that Seba is the grand master of liquid d&b, so he deserves extra attention here.
