DON'T HATE THE 808
BOOM CLAP, THAT'S A CLASSIC
However, the reason today is a big deal for Bassnectar fans is perhaps because he has been so vocal about his admiration for the 808. In his liner notes from his Noise vs. Beauty album, he called it a “special weapon,” and I think that’s a clever way to put it. Maybe this unspoken love for the way the 808 makes our minds race is another way Bass Heads are connected. One of the best musical experiences is hearing how loud and tight the 808 can sound live. It’s an element that makes the live shows that much more explosive. When songs like Teleport Massive with it’s maniac kick line are dropped you feel the whole crowd united by its sound. We love the 808. We love its snapping, cracking, whiplashy sound. And we love Bassnectar a little more each time he dances that 808 hat on our brains. I’m sure he’ll be throwing a little extra 808 love into his set at Moonrise tonight! To all the lucky bassheads who are going, rage a little harder for the rest of us!
