The brooding sounds of dubstep were snatched by American hands and given a maximalist makeover, mashed with electro and house beats before being served to endless crowds of hungry punters who wanted to bro-down in an electronic circle pit. The biggest feature of this neo-dubstep wave was the drop: After the slow and heightening synth build, there was always 20-30 seconds of robot fucking noises that became the defining sounds of the sweaty EDM generation. You definitely know someone that got got punched in the kidneys during the drop in Skrillex’s ‘Scary Monsters & Nice Sprites‘ at Future Music Festival (RIP) in 2012, and the culprit was also probably wearing shutter shades.
Now, one track has answered a question that has plagued mankind for centuries: ‘What If There Was A Dubstep Song But Instead Of The Drop There Was Just The Seinfeld Theme Song?’ Uploaded to Soundcloud last year, we’ve just been notified of its existence thanks to this article from Thump, who name it “the most important song of the decade.” We have to agree with those sentiments – it’s definitely the most important song in years, tied with ‘Lifestyle‘ by Rich Gang and also ‘Two Phones‘ by Kevin Gates.
Close your eyes as you listen to the track below and imagine that you are standing in the middle of the main arena at Stereosonic (RIP) and asking a stranger for a spare ciggie. Feel your adrenaline rising as the build tightens with intensity, and then feel that iconic bassline from Seinfeld send you into absolute bliss. Does Jerry do pingers and hang out shirtless at festivals? Maybe he will after he hears this joint.
This is a masterpiece. A standing ovation for whoever made this track. We need more Seinfeld dubstep collaborations, please:
