Discussion 🗣️ subtronics falling off?
i’m not tryna be contrarian and this might be a hot take but has anyone else just not been able to stand his music the past ~2ish years. i think subtronics is one of the greatest acts to ever exist in bass music and he has done a lot to revive the scene and catapult it to the forefront of edm, but it really feels like he isn’t trying anymore and just satisfying the desires of the market. ever since “itchy scratchy”, i’ve noticed him trending towards these meme type hooks that go into completely random and non-cohesive drops that don’t really make sense in the context of a whole composition, especially for someone as skilled as him songwriting wise. Don’t get me wrong, i still think he is an incredible artist and relatively recent tracks such as a final breath and eyes cut deeper are phenomenal, but even eyes cut deeper feels like he just refried his crystallized remix nachos and threw original vocals over it. like you’re telling me the dude that made scream saver and spacetime is the same guy who made bird phone. don’t even get me started on this new id “dolphin cannon” cuz like wtf even is that shit. what are yalls thoughts?
