EDC Las Vegas 2022 - bassPOD Mix
The bassPOD at EDC Las Vegas exists for one reason: to test the structural integrity of your ribcage with sub-frequencies you can taste, and this 2022 mix is a potent concentrate of that mission. It's for us, the degenerates who consider a 176 BPM drop a spiritual experience, standing in a sea of pashminas and dilated pupils. The energy is a relentless, chest-caving pressure, averaging 154 BPM and favoring the dark, wobble-ready key of 12A.
The mix is dominated by a colossal 68% low-end, making it a purely physical affair, with 22% mids for melodic hints and only 10% highs for occasional snare cracks. This is bass music in its purest, most aggressive forms—dubstep, drum & bass, and leftfield electronica welded together with brutal efficiency. The tracklist is a who's who of sound design terrorists: 'MALIKI - Послушай Мам (Miami Beach Remix)' opens with chaotic, Eastern European sample energy, while 'Liquid Stranger - Ascend' provides a moment of psychedelic, floating respite.
'G Jones, Eprom - On My Mind' is a glitchy, mind-bending workout, and 'SVDDEN DEATH - Behemoth' is the inevitable, mosh-pit-summoning anthem. The journey starts in sample-heavy chaos, peaks with the sheer brutality of 'Behemoth', and closes on the more atmospheric, liquid drum & bass pressures of 'Alix Perez - Lifeline'.
