The Only Thing They Fear Is You from the Doom Eternal soundtrack.

Also in the vein of rock: Jesus Built My Hotrod (Redline/Whiteline version) - Ministry

1:30 in, hold onto your ass

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:

"On Her Majesty's Secret Service" by Propellerheads has an amazing bass drop in the middle of the song.

I'm also partial to "Empire Ants" by Gorillaz.

Dance Yrself Clean by LCD Soundsystem

Slow build, but when it drops...ooooh baby

[–] Phlimy@jlai.lu 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Oh boy I have to physically stop myself from posting half my library ._.

Some DNB if you like something fast
Rido, Counterstrike - Let It Roll
Mefjus & Emperor - Void main void
The Upbeats - Realm
Billain & Tasha Baxter - Breach

Or if you like slower, hard-hitting dubstep that'll spike your blood adrenaline:
Nitepunk - MTV
Elley DuhΓ© - Immortal (Knoir remix)
Effin - Get It On
A lot more of this here

Or more colourful dubstep with euphoric melodies:
KERO - Operator
IMANU, The Caracal Project, Leotrix - Gaspin 4 Air
Au5 - Blossom
Haywyre - Insight

If you like something funkier...
Koan Sound - Meanwhile, In the Future
Skope - Get On Up
Dodge & Fuski - The Clap
Flavio - Wow
Rhodz - Night Landscape

For the heck of it, here's some eldritch beats to summon your favorite archdemons to:
Audeka - Primordial
Protostar - Scorpion Pit (Disprove remix)
Flukeluke - What Are You

Lastly, some unique stuff that's hard to categorize:
Kyra - Gunz
Pluvio - Significance Of None (Azuruk remix)
Ampzer - MC
Chee - Spit That
LoJ - Superhuman

Terminal slam by squarepusher

[–] HatchetHaro@pawb.social 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Oh man, I had that phase in my teenage years where I was absolutely obsessed with all that EDM music. My tastes are more varied now but I still enjoy those absolute headbangers.

  • I.Y.F.F.E - Jurassic
  • Lock N Bounce - Illusions
  • Rameses B - Full Force
  • xKore - Full Russian
  • RIOT - Overkill

Monstercat Uncaged is still a great label to search through if you want more of this high energy stuff.

SEE YOU DROP - Ray Volpe

[–] Corno@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago
[–] kozy138@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

Disco Pogo - Die Atzen

The entire song is about the drop. But damn, if it ain't worth the wait.

[–] Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Flat Beat by Dr Oizo

The Vegas album by The Crystal Method

[–] Psythik@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

My only complaint with Flat Beat is that the song never goes anywhere. Just the same, flat, unchanging beat for an entire five minutes and 25 seconds. I suppose that's the point.

[–] Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

I don't disagree. There were better songs on the Analog Worms Attack album but that is the song I remember the name of having not heard it in a decade or more.

[–] saigot@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

TheFatRat - Xenogenesis

[–] pastermil@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

501 - Headrush

Purity Ring - Stardew

D-Mode-D -- Oppression

Wouldn't exactly call it high energy, but man, that drop is fucking evil.

Gravedigger (Eskimo Callboy Remix) by The Browning

Widor Toccata! I love it when the pedal comes back in, always makes me smile.

Sorry for the very different style

Major Lazer Bad Boys remix

[–] Brkdncr@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I’m a fan of subsonics.

Here’s one from my recently liked songs.

[–] Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Are subsonics the bass sounds that are so low that you can't hear it but can feel it if the space is small enough?

I used to listen to some electronica that would move my cars subwoofers like crazy but you couldn't hear an audible base.

[–] Brkdncr@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Listen to some Lorn for some other examples. I appreciate music you can feel.

Bot of War, from the Astro Bot soundtrack. Let's just say the bass drop is memorable if you played the last 2 GOW games.

Bass Attack Bap by Georgia AnneΒ Muldrow

[–] BmeBenji@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

It’s not a bass drop in the strictest sense but FUCK dude β€œStone” by Mammoth WVH has a sludgy fucking breakdown with some of the most epic dramatic pauses in all of music and I can’t get enough of it
