MACHINE GUN 808's GIVE US SOMETHING TO TWERK TO THIS WEEKEND!

It's Friday and MG808s has given us a lil something to get ready to. At midnight (11/15) they dropped two 100bpm twerk bangers. Their "Shot At the Night" remix (originally by the Killers & M83) and they teamed up with San Fran based duo Researchemicals to twerkify Major Lazer's "Jet Blue Jet" ( i believe they retwerked Tujamo's edit). You can check both of them out right here!

Killers - Shot At The Night (MACHINE GUN 808's SUPER RATCHET REMIX)


Major Lazer - Jet Blue Jet (ResearChemicals & Machine Gun 808's Twerk Remix)

THE RISE OF 100bpm Trap Music / Twerk Music / Ratchet Club Music

This week on ALL THINGS BASS RADIO, very shortly after the Choppa Dunks interview, Nuggiez Beats started spinning a bunch of great bass heavy, (roughly) 100bpm twerk trap tracks. 

skip 21 minutes into the mix (click here) and you get this:

JayKode - Pots

Victor Niglio - Jiggy

Lorde - Royals (Caked Up Remix)

the Killers x Machine Gun 808's - Shot At The Night

Ric Stin & Treyy G - Booty Dip (Savage! Remix)

Beauty Brain x Dj Nexxa - Fuck The Police

Hoodie - El Mecanico (Corrupted Data Remix)

Dotcom - Booty Wop

Dogblood - Chella Ride (YOOK!E's 100 bpm Edit)

Spenda C - Murda

Diplo x Nicky Da B - Express Yourself (OSC∆RWYLDE REMIX)

With Trap music and EDM music in general consistently shifting gears I want to see the Big Room sound we're hearing in alot of house music merge with the 100 bpm twerk ish (that's just a personal want). And with people like DJ Snake, GTA, & Victor Niglio on the rise, I can safely say we'll be hearing alot more of these twerk heavy club bangers.

Truly Music? The Modern Trap Music: A Normative Critique.

by Kenneth Schick

Trap music is a music genre that originated in the early 2000s from Southern hip hop and crunk in the Southern United States. It is typified by its lyrical content and trademark sound, which incorporates 808 sub-bass kick drums, sped-up hi-hats, layered synthesizers, and "cinematic" strings.
In 2012, a new movement of electronic music producers and DJs emerged who began incorporating elements of trap music into their works. This helped expand its popularity among electronic music fans. A number of stylistic offshoots of trap developed, which in the latter half of 2012 gained a rise in viral popularity and made a noticeable impact on dance music.

History 

2000s: Beginning and origins 
The term "trap" was literally used to refer to the place where drug deals are made. Fans and critics started to refer to rappers whose primary lyrical topic was drug dealing, as "trap rappers."
UGK and Three 6 Mafia were among the first rappers to introduce trap music. The lyrics covered topics about life in "the trap", drug dealing and the struggle for success. Most of these sub-genres combined trap-style drum patterns with EDM synths, Five popular EDM trap producers were set to perform at the 2013 Ultra Music Festival - Carnage, UZ, DJ Craze, Baauer and Flosstradamus.
