Taika-Kim Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 So I think it's a scientific fact, that disco bass is the ultimate bassline. What goa tracks have this? From top of my mind, can be wrong: Let's not count proggressive since then the list would go on forever Asia 2001 - Flirt Filter (at times) Mindfield - Let's Get Stoned and Watch the Freaks (the BEST, no variation, whee) Indoor - The Key (they do break the rhythm though so it's not pure, I just checked..It's still obnoxious enough I think) Sundog - Touch the Sun Trancelestial Psychobabas and Ormazd count too I think... Though they have variation too. ?? moer? ("disco bass" is a 8th note octave interval where the lower not falls on beat, and the higher on offbeat.So like the german offbeat bass with an additional strike overlaid with the kick drum an octave lower. also great variant 8th16th16th so it's dunn-dada-dunn-dada instead on dunn-bumm-dunn-bumm) Yes this is the best thread.

mars Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 I don't pay attenton usually, as long as it makes me move, but I checked your examples and that's right: if you want people on the dancefloor to look like Indians circling around a totem, that's THE bass to use! It gives crazy feelings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padmapani Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 you mean like mahadeva? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Eye Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Mahadeva must be the prime example of octave bass goa trance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Eye Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 also great variant 8th16th16th so it's dunn-dada-dunn-dada instead on dunn-bumm-dunn-bumm) Wasn't that like every damn eurodance track in the '90s? :DD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taika-Kim Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share Posted December 13, 2014 Hmm, I think eurodance usually had just an 8th offbeat bass? Well Neverending Dream had an octave bass.. Mahadeva, yes, that's proper That Predators tracks has quite a bit of variation, so that disco feeling is missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taika-Kim Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share Posted December 13, 2014 Truly next level New Order stuff, like I don't know, maybe he should create a startup and start composing these basslines for rich people or I don't know what, wow, like he would be so rich: Probably the best application in a trance tune I know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Padmapani Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 and although it's not strictly goa trance (but certainly related enough to be mentioned) : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padmapani Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 does a bass sliding up the octave also count? edit: another one: edit2: bumbling loons - lunacy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taika-Kim Posted December 14, 2014 Author Share Posted December 14, 2014 Heh, lot's of funny tracks here, I think it's impossible to take a track that uses this seriously especially if the bassline moves up and down even the slightest bit That Mushroommman track has the offbeat hit really heavy, but no octave jump... OK, not trance, more like real oldschool goa stuff actually, but one of my favourite applications of this... And amazingly, every time I see this on a dancefloor, it just takes people away, good job from a track that's technically basically taped together by sheer luck Thank you God for synthesizers so we less gifted can also haz make music.

Spicy_RolL Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I am so sorry for double offtop, but: 1) My favorite type of bassline in psytrance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRtCam4fBvI 2) On what equipment it was done? (I mean bass of course) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
