Bass, Chill, Dubstep | Big_Once Brings The Bass With “Buck Shots”

Tuesday is always a great day for new music and today is no exception. Big_Once who is slated to play this year’s Lollapalooza dropped a fire original in the middle of the night he calls “Buck Shots”. The track has a sound that’s hard to pigeon-hole into just one genre. 90’s hip hop lyrics and a groove that sounds like it would be at home at an old Pretty Lights show make this bass track something special. This guy is also a technical badass behind the decks. He judges many Red Bull Thre3style competitions and took home the U.S. Championship title for himself in 2011.

Bass | Tinashe – Vulnerable (Jacuzzi Remix)

For those that are still unfamiliar with Jacuzzi, he’s a young budding producer out of Honolulu who’s been gaining momentum faster than a tsunami in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Recently he’s worked with Mr. Carmack, remixed Santigold’s ‘Disparate Youth’ and released an incredible EP of free original tunes. Jacuzzi’s penchant for arranging punchy staccato drum patterns and overlaying them with dark cinematic sounds has helped him create a signature style, garnering nods of approval from industry juggernauts like Bassnectar, Craze, Pretty Lights and more.
With his latest offering Jacuzzi puts his spin on Tinashe’s sultry R&B joint ‘Vulnerable’. The trap-ish drum progression, menacing strings and Japanese sounding woodwinds mingle quite nicely with Tinashe’s smokey voice in this late-night banger. In a world where everyone is waiting for a wild-ass drop, Jacuzzi shows restraint, keeps his cool and challenges you not to bounce along.
