Ahh yes, "Lord Of Bass"!

Being who I am, I found the prospect of hearing a track so full of bass that the hihats are no longer audible utterly arousing, and hence jumped at the chance to download this heavily hyped single, "DANCE..UNTIL YOU DROP DEAD!!"

The use of upper case letters and the suffix of two exclamation marks had me, quite literally, salivating with anticipation. The image of "Lord Of Bass" present on the site also caught my glance, and I decided that should there be anyone in the world worthy of carrying such a graceful title, it would be a man with that kind of bold figure and noble facial complexion.

However, I was painfully disappointed at this production. The first thing to jump out at you in this track is the simple breakbeat, consisting of a heavily distorted kick drum and a fairly standard snare. This unbelievably retarded combination of elements reminded me of sitting on the lavatory after a night of drinking.

My disgust soon turned to absolute hysteria upon hearing the clichéd pitched-down "hardstyle" voice chanting for me to "dance, dance" until I "drop dead". I'm not entirely sure why the word "dance" was repeated, but this may have been some kind of rhythmic device, similar to those used in homosexual nightclubs from the early 90s.

Lyrically, this track intrigued me. Could such a blistering complexion of sounds really cause me to "drop dead"? And if so, why exactly would I want to end my life at such a peak of euphoria? The dreary 6 remaining minutes of this piece answered both questions.

As the gated sawtooth melody tore its way into the foreground, I began to call my own existence into question. Why am I here? Why am I listening to a host of such ridiculously penetrative noises? Why did I even bother to download an mp3 from someone with the name of "Lord Of Bass"? As feelings of remorse and even depression began to sweep my insides, I began searching for the nearest sharp instrument.

However, around the 8:10 mark, this track starts to improve dramatically. All the sounds fade to silence, and the listener is presented with 12 blank seconds, presumably which the producer forgot to remove at the end of his piece. This felt almost like making love to a beautiful woman after being whipped with spiked ropes for 8 minutes, and I quickly found myself experiencing a natural high.

To conclude, I would certainly not recommend this production to everyone. In fact, I would not recommend it to anyone. I would actually be very wary of this critically-acclaimed "Lord Of Bass" and his Amiga 500 music.

I listened to dance till you drop dead, and I actually really like it, pretty hard track - with a good groove....maybe the guy's ego is a bit large, but still he is quite funny . But I do like that song.

Lovin' the new title, Mike. You should keep it that way.

Lord of Bass:

Respect to the name you've gotten for yourself, and all, but that doesn't mean you're better than anyone here. That just means you hit a gold mine at the right place at the right time. Hell, the track itself isn't even that bad from a dark trance standpoint, if it's a little stereotypical.

Regardless, your attitude was, well, I gotta agree with my contemporaries here, it was pretty fucking inane, by which I mean I laughed at it a lot. I almost didn't give your track a listen because your promotion was so overbearing. You see, we don't like pompous asses around here, and if Avi Nissim dropped by talking like that, I don't think anyone here would be like, "Avi, man, that contemptuous regard for all insignificant human beings such as ourselves is totally cool. Keep it up."

Forgive me, my lord, but not only did you come here gloating and showing off your overinflated ego, but then you tried to criticize other people's work and musical tastes. You've really made a joke of yourself. That's not the kind of thing that will earn you any respect. You're dealing with a board of producers - some of them noobs, some of them far better than you. Yet no one here is trying to claim they're #1.

Oh yeah, I forgot - I must be midunderstanding you because you're soooo underground!

This has obviously worked as there are so many reply posts in this thread. People should just ignore these types of posts, otherwise expect to see more of them in the future.

This "IM No.1 HARDSTYLEZ" is bullshit. An amature with Delusions of Grandeur! Respect is earned by quality tracks, not loud-mouthing.

two words: "Col, you're the man". You made me laugh my lounge (and kitchen) out.

Lord Of (B)ass. Your track's not that bad, it's more your promotions skills that hits the fan, negatively. Chill down, you're not #1, and you probably never will be. And yeah, your the misinterpreted genious right?
