Songs that bump

[rocknfish9001]

I am looking into getting some subwoofers for my car, and would like some songs that just plain out have bass. (i dont mean bass guitar lines) Anything, rap, hip hop, techno, etc. This is stuff i do not normally listen to, pretty much never. I just want something that people can hear from a mile away. There is some song i heard called "gone in 60 seconds, ultimate bass, subwoofer test" or something like that. Pretty bass heavy techno song. Any other suggesstions?

Download some songs by Bohagon.  They BUMP.  That is the absolute most ghetto rap out there.

Any thing by icp. Belive me they sound good at 1500 watts but sound better on my 300 watts jls. I forgot the subs and amp both work and have no holes in them.

Better check your states motor vehicle regs BEFORE you add the loud speakers. Some states prohibit sound over a certain decible level.

Just as a sidenote, I investigated a crash a few weeks ago involving an ambulance and car. The ambulance was bring operated with emergency lights and siren going and the young man had his speakers a bumping away and never heard the ambulance. The young man now needs a new car, fortunately that's all he needs, along with a job to pay for some of the fines.

"sandstorm" by DaRude

[Captain Cali]

"Bump" by Kottonmouth Kings. The title speaks for itself. It will get your windows rattling.

Also, the whole "Built from Scratch" album by DJ Bobby B has some thumpin' beats.

[Dan:]

"Chi" by Mos Def or Talib Kweli, i can't remember.

If your old enough, I'd suggest Ja Rule's first album: Venni Vetti Vecci  Every track on the album straight bangs.

Brother Lynch Hung has some rather morbid jams, but the bass hits will knock your eyes crooked.

As far as electronic music goes, Dj Icey has a couple really good albums that have some great bass tracks.

Essential Mix, mixed by Dj Icey.  Track 1 has a jammin bass line that jumps in at 1:56.  And a few other tracks like 6,7,especially 8,and 10 on the album are incredible for a good system to get some practice. But make sure you get the first essential ellements album produced in 2000. The second one is great too, but not like the first one.  Another great Icey Album would be "For the love of the beat."  Track 4 is by far my favorite.  It has sort of a reggae flavor, but the bass has more of a house breaks type of sound. Tracks 12-14 will rock your bass if you have a truely good system.

You can also try some drum and bass such as Dieselboy-The 6ixth season tracks 3-17, and also Ju Ju on the Breakbeat science exercise 002 tracks 2,4,7,12,and 13.  

If you like house, or disco house, Bad boy bill, and Richard Humpty Vision have some really good tracks on their albums where the bass is just incredible.  

I used to be pretty heavily in to the party scene in Pittsburgh, but then the scene went splat.  I still love the music though. Especially breakbeats, and house.

1.  The type of song will not reflect the bass line, it's how it was recorded in the studio that matters.  The frequencies that are forfront in the mixing room will be the same on disc.

Define the bass you like.

-muddy,boomy-sub bass

-tight/stiff- bass/mid-bass

I see it all too many times when kids want to "bump" and think subs are the way to go.

That stiff, tight thump in your chest is not produced from subwoofers.  These frequencies are produced by the mid-bass drivers.  Don't skimp when you buy seperates folks.  The subs just pick up the accents on the mid bass so if you are aiming for BUMP and get BOOM, you are trying to achieve a certain sound but are concentrating on the wrong frequencies.

If you need a song to dial your amps into that has a strong mid-bass line, check out Dream Theater-images and words , song #6.

There are certain reference discs out there also if you are not up on frequency tuning.  Makes all the difference in the world.  Systems need to be constantly tuned.  The more intricate the system, the more often it needs tuning.  Now I'm not talking about tuning the song in,...On my system, being so sensitive, every song has it's own settings to creat balanced sound, but on top of that, the amps are all adjusted in the spring and again in the fall when the thickness and speed of the air is drastically different.

Bass Mechanix is a great tuning disc.

So, in short, before trying to figure out which songs bump, make sure the system is tuned properly.  I could give you suggestions but the songs will falll flat on their face if your mid-bass isn't up to par.

Harnessing the mid-bass properly is the key to a bumpin system.

Also, sounddomain.com has an incredible forum with a whole section dedicated to "bumpin' tunes".

"Old man Zif" is a mod there and an old friend from the national competition scene.  If you need specific help, PM him and use my name or just PM me back with any questions you might have.

hip hop is kid's stuff for bass...gotta go techno for the good stuff!   ;D

almost every track from Louie Devito's cd "Trance Sessions 2".

Louie Devito "Blow the Speakers"

tracks by:

DJ Micro

DJ Tiesto

Bad Boy Bill

Robbie Rivera

John Digweed

Diesel Boy

There a a couple of remixed versions of Chemical Brothers 'Galvanize' with a lot more bass than the original version.

I think someone already mentioned this but check your local laws-noise ordinance laws could make those expensive songs in a hurry!

Don't thump before 10a or after 9p and you won't have an issue.  If the music is profane, you are a target anytime.

I've had an officer chat with me for over 1/2 an hour about my current system.   Big Dave matthews fan,  song # 41 was the culprit.   We were joking because he had just done special detail at Logan airport, this is shortly after 9/11, and when I folded down my rear seat so he could see into the trunk, he assured me had I showed up curbside to drop someone off with my seats down, I would have been surrounded by security.

Can you say...."I look like a bomb?"

PS- The reason techno/house music "slams" is because it isn't really music at all.  Meaning, there are no instruments whose sound is translated to another form of media.  "Manufactured" music like this is straight up digital from the get-go.  Each note you hear is an electronically manufacted frequency, clean from the start and full of integrity when amplified.

However,

Put that stuff in a "Sound Quality" competition class car during a competition and you won't fare well.

Tonal balance. resonation, and harmonics are big categories that suffer.

On the other hand even if your imaging and staging aren't dead on, even the best IASCA judge would never know it.

I'm looking to replace my vehicle next year sometime.  When I do, I will be doing a stealth install this time.  If you are into learning more about serious car audio, I will post as I go along with all the fabrication.  This install will include many motorized goodies like a hard panel false floor in the rear (SUV) that works on the concept of the old roll top desks. A bilge blower system for air circulation, a 5 farad capacitor (for reserve power when the bass amp draws), etc.

All in all, we will be looking at between 4100 and 4500 watts.  All dialed low , lots of headroom.

hey lbh--did you make that box?

[Low_Budget_Hooker]

Yes, I made everything.

The box is made from 2 12" sonotubes (used for deck footings) mounted to a base plate and stretched over with fleece.

Each tube has 1.3 cubic feet of air, sealed (for SQ app's)

One of the best bass guitar solo's ever - Atlanta Rhythm Sections "Another Mans Woman"

My favorite "song that bumps" is D4L- Spaceships on Bankhead. It's a pretty addicting song. Your first thought when you hear it is "How high were they when they made this song?"
