You just sent my ADHD brain into the depths of my music library for 2 hrs. It’s early morning and I have shit do do man, why would you do this to me? There are soo many I could list here, ranging from Dubstep to Drum and Bass, to Bass Music and Trap and almost every other kind of electronic music. Most Techno, especially Trance basically revolves around building up and dropping one big and epic drop.

Personal bias and nostalgia, but Rusko - Everyday (Netsky Remix) has to be one of the sickest bass drops of all time.

If we start listing Techno drops here, this thread would never end, so I’ll refrain. Here’s just one example: Space 92 & The Yellowheads - Planet X

The same is true for Wave music, but here’s a taster: Deadcrow - GT1000

Disclosure, Eliza Doolittle - You & Me (Flume Remix) is a masterpiece in its own right. But this brass band live performance of the track restores my faith in humanity every time I listen to it.

Some honorable mentions in a similar vein:

• Camo & Krooked - Broken Pieces (Culture Shock Remix)
• Gentlemens Club, Paige Eliza - Ocean Drive
• SHAED - Trampoline (Jauz Remix)

I really appreciate your comment. Knowing I’m not alone in this feeling is so encouraging and has been eye opening. Gives me a sense of community and hope that we can do something about it.

I just want to say thank you for writing such a detailed response. It’s been quite eye-opening for me, I wasn’t even aware that so many great resources and communities exist to explicitly counter this sentiment I’ve been feeling about negativity in news and other media.

It’s very encouraging to see that I’m not the only one with this feeling, and even just the responses to this post are sending me on a whole journey of being more positive!

I will look into indy journalism, thanks for the recommendation! Never gave it much thought but it makes total sense. Is substack the best place to look or are there other places you can recommend?

Do you have a recommendation for uplifting news on YT?

Cool!! I came for gloom but found a happy bear family. And a really shitty game. But shitty in a good way.

Where do I sign up to your feed?

Wow, I am super intrigued. Thanks for the suggestion!

Here come the downvotes, which most seem to use based on whether they agree with something or not, rather than for signalling the quality of a comment. It fosters echo chambering rather than healthy discussion. I for one think that this is an excellent question and discussion.
