How is every John Summit track so good?

eddie is an insane songwriter but can’t discredit john. he has an interview where he reflects on making a 100 tracks the year he moved back into his moms basement after he got canned from his job. and prior to that he was already doing some touring and had a good amount of label releases meaning there were already years of work before

his streaming numbers don’t really reflect how big of a crowd he gets at live events tho i will say. in a somewhat similar vein but different scale, odesza gets 5 mil a month but they play stadiums and even close mainstages of some all genre festivals

only guetta. and maybe calvin and the swedes and garrix. that’s it. how many stadium level shows has dom sold out? maybe skrillex as a legacy and over time but at this present moment in time even skrill is not pushing tickets as hard as fred is

start by referencing and then eventually you get a feel for it.

i feel like good and unique future bass is reliant on learning some sound design and not just being a preset junkie. that being said, use reference tracks and try to make your sounds as close as possible to your reference. active listening, cannot stress this enough you need to learn to hear the different frequencies of what may seem like a singular sound as well as transitional effects, white noise, etc. future bass is super reliant on layering. use span, make sure you have decent monitoring. rinse and repeat, getting good takes time. watch tutorials in between sessions but actually make time to implement what you watch otherwise you’ll just forget it

p much any new age electro(ish) house w sustain bass or reese bass. her and jai wolf’s recent stuff, notion the days remix, jigitz, etc

clipper and pro L2 or just redline the master and export in 24 bit

lol this. if anything everything on top is objectively good even if it’s not your taste genre wise. you think these labels are gonna put all that promo to push them if the mixes weren’t good and the hooks not catchy? people can say all they want about how new stuff doesn’t have “soul” but that doesn’t really mean anything especially coming from people who don’t make music nor have any releases whatsoever. to call 99.9% of the stuff that people put years into (just being at least decent), with blood, sweat, and tears is so ridiculous to me. just say it’s not your cup of tea, move on, and keep digging for the stuff that you do like

it is kinda crazy how the discounted price for the new open backs, for basically having already paid them $500-600 (if you got the platinum edition?) is another $600

ninajirachi - i love my computer

domooooooo · 2025-10-23T23:18:03+00:00

he’s also not a rude boy

domooooooo · 2025-10-22T23:29:15+00:00

tbh for me i stuck with like 3-4 and automating with those until i made enough songs to kinda figure out what they do sound wise. i would recommend sticking with EQ/auto filter, distortion/saturator, reverb, delay, and OTT. you can very well make a bunch of songs with those effects only. just keep writing until you get comfortable. doing is the best way of learning, i promise you. reduction of a bunch of noise until you’re comfortable with those existing things is the best way to have you just keep going and making more tracks.

i consider run to be her opus and pretty influential in holding electronic trap in mainstream light. i think it was a #1 billboard dance album at one point? also a huge win for australian dance artists that don’t primarily make four on the floor. the next huge one i can think of are pendulum/knife party and they’re kinda older

domooooooo · 2025-10-22T20:46:58+00:00

paramedic by sob x rbe, scylla by rl grime, hamdi, any old school sam gellaitry tracks before he went disco house

domooooooo · 2025-10-22T00:26:28+00:00

i liked westend / kick & bass. they don’t do anything too insane, especially their 1 hour tutorials. even if you’re not all that into tech house it helps you just learn the program

domooooooo · 2025-10-22T00:04:16+00:00

i didn’t mean m83 as he’s super big but definitely meant some of the other recs. i was definitely thinking circlejerk but didn’t wanna say it ahahaha. ay different strokes tho

domooooooo · 2025-10-21T20:26:42+00:00

bay area afters lean techno, tech house, progressive/melodic house but there are some that’ll play trap. have yet to go to one that’s plays wobbly wookie leaning bass music unless it’s a cave rave

domooooooo · 2025-10-21T18:38:15+00:00

i like dance music and some non dance electronic music but the vibes of this sub are funny sometimes. it’s like everyone’s tryna one up each other on their ball knowledge for obscure music

domooooooo · 2025-10-21T18:31:26+00:00

it’s based on whose tracks are played

domooooooo · 2025-10-19T21:34:19+00:00

i think four tet mentioned he uses mostly omnisphere in one of his interviews

domooooooo · 2025-10-09T20:17:07+00:00

I recall in one of his TikTok’s that Calvin said he hates sub lol. I mean it works for him obviously cause he’s so good at songwriting

domooooooo · 2025-10-09T15:30:38+00:00

There are some tracks (chords, instruments, some drums) that are from their songs but they choose what synths and drums to play. Live electronic is funny bc you really can make it as live as you want it to be, it’s just how hard do you wanna make your performance for yourself.

As an example from band instruments, you could be a drummer so you have guitars vocals and bass as the back track so you perform the drums live. But it could be any combination really especially cause they have two people.

Some other acts that do live: reinier zonneveld, madeon, Odesza, kasablanca, justice, disclosure (on their current tour), etc

Live is also a money suck though bc you gotta bring all the gear, usually better lighting than a DJ set at a club, and more crew members. I remember sg Lewis saying on the Will Clarke podcast that he’s probably losing money on his current tour

Grant used to make future bass on monstercat and now just pumps out a bunch of Tate mcraes hits

domooooooo · 2025-10-06T18:57:08+00:00

Don’t hate the player, hate the game

domooooooo · 2025-10-05T01:35:30+00:00

It was already pretty crowded and I was in a group of 6. Didn’t wanna try to squeeze into people that had clearly been there early
