Subtronics - EDC Las Vegas Virtual Rave-A-Thon
If there's one thing you can guarantee at a virtual bass music rave, it's thousands of kids furiously headbanging alone in their bedrooms and giving themselves whiplash. They're all dressed in full pashminas and rave goggles, aggressively throwing trap arms at a 13-inch MacBook Pro screen. The digital void of the EDC Las Vegas Virtual Rave-A-Thon is lit up by blinding strobes and weaponized visuals that threaten to break your monitor. The Subtronics EDC Las Vegas Virtual Rave-A-Thon tracklist is basically an assault on the senses.
Operating at a blistering 145.1 BPM average, this Subtronics live set throws out any semblance of Trance tranquility for pure low-frequency warfare. Anchored in 12A and 3A keys, the mix relies on a punishing 71% mid-range energy to punch through laptop speakers, utilizing breakneck double-drops to keep the adrenaline spiking. The selections are properly unhinged and beautifully aggressive. Tossing Cardi B's "Bodak Yellow" into a blender with his own "Scream Saver" is absolute madness.
The inclusion of the Excision & Subtronics collab "Bunker Buster" proves he’s not holding back on the heavy artillery just because there's no physical mosh pit. It’s a relentless, neck-snapping marathon. Starting with an unidentified bass monster as the opening track, the energy never dips below chaotic. The GRiZ & Subtronics anthem "Griztronics" causes digital absolute scenes in the chat, leading right up to the grimey, brilliant closing track, the Remix of Atmosphere & Zeds Dead's "GodLovesUgly".
