Tomorrowland Belgium 2017
Jauz W2
Trying to ID tracks from a Jauz Tomorrowland Belgium 2017 set is like attempting to solve a puzzle while being hit with a bass cannon—chaotic, exhilarating, and utterly ridiculous. This W2 performance is a bass house and electro riot, a mainstage spectacle where mosh pits form spontaneously and the BPM average of 142.6 suggests we're in for a rough, wonderful ride. The vibe is one of controlled carnage, a sea of bouncing bodies and shark-themed merch illuminated by strobes that feel like lightning strikes. Technically, this is a fusion of bass house, dubstep, and hard-hitting electro, with a key profile heavily leaning into the aggressive, impactful 12A territory. The energy balance—lows at 0.47, mids at 0.39, highs at 0.13—shows a focus on distorted, mid-range bass growls and punchy kicks, with enough high-end crackle to keep the tension high.
Jauz's mixing is fast, aggressive, and often relies on sudden cuts and double-drops to maximize impact, prioritizing shock value over smooth musicality. Harmonic cohesion is secondary to the sheer force of the basslines and the clever use of vocal samples from hip-hop and pop. The tracklist is a snapshot of 2017 bass music: "Skrillex - SQUAD OUT! (feat. Fatman Scoop)" opens with manic energy, a declaration of intent. "DJ Snake - 4 Life" provides a sleeker, G-house influenced groove that lets the crowd catch a breath.
"Kaskade - Lick It (Extended)" is a surprise melodic turn that shows Jauz's range. For pure, unadulterated chaos, "Skepsis - Goes Like" delivers a UK bassline roller that must have torn the place apart. The journey is a blast of adrenaline: it kicks off with the frenetic "SQUAD OUT!," peaks with the relentless drop of "AKRMX - One More Time," and closes on the relative calm of "Tom Budin - My Boo (Tom Budin Remix)," a garage-tinged comedown that feels almost peaceful by comparison.
