*1. (3:55) Dark but bouncy low frequencies. Old school dubstep. Cuts to 80’s synthy sample for a hot minute, and then returns to the bassment.
2. (5:27) Repetitive bass + skittering snares. Syncopated synths come in too. The track that gets played in between djs. Some cowbell too...
**3.(4:29) Mala brings the dark & evil vibes. Plodding bass & melancholic synths. TOM, PLAY THIS!
4. (3:43) Snare-y dubstep with a warm but distant vibe. For snowy, late-nite walks through industrial areas.
*5. (3:39) Label boss Kode9. Faster bass with snares, drum machines, and synths. Punchy.
6. (3:04) Snare anthem! Trap like tempo + sounds. Very dark still though.
*7. FCC (3:17) British rap about ambushing, over dark & grimey dubstep. Slightly shimmery ;)
8. (2:59) FOOTWERK (faster tempo + bouncy synths) HERE WE GO. “Only the Strongest Survive”-- olde school anthem.
9. (4:01) Old timey sample with buzzing bass and snares
**10. (3:41) Analog video game sounds cut with bass and snares.
*11. (2:39) Female “I’m gonna get you” leads to spacey shit & then hard bass + kicks. Fork yea!
12. FCC (4:14) “I need a blanket cuz I’m cold muthafucka” + bass + old timey samples. Teehee.
13. (4:05) Lots of acid on this faster track with subtle sub-bass from DJ Rashad RIP.
14. (2:38) Spoken sample then bass + crescendoing synths + analog sounds
*15. (2:38) Creepy “watching you” spoken word below dark synths and bass
16. (4:06) Cutesy and wavering synths over not aggressive bass. NOT DARK AT ALL, SUNNY!
